Puri-Puri Prisoner

Puri-Puri-Prisoner (ぷりぷりプリズナー, Puripuri Purizunā) is a S-Class, rank 17, superhero for the Hero Association.

Appearance
Puri-Puri-Prisoner is a large muscular man with a stubbly, cleft chin, large lips and black bushy hair. He has a well defined jawline and light blue eyes with long eyelashes. He wears a traditional prison jumpsuit with white and blue stripes. He used to wear a white sleeveless vest with a large pink heart in the center over his prison clothes, but he ripped it during one of his transformations.

Personality
Puri-Puri Prisoner is a flamboyant, openly homosexual superhero. He takes an interest in other, up and coming heroes and criminals; an interest which led to his titular jail sentence, as he kept attacking them. Criminals that he apprehends are then added to his harem. He appears to be rather absent-minded, as he did not think to remove his sweater before bulking up, and then blamed his opponent, the Sea King, for its destruction.

Sea Monster Arc
We are first introduced to Puri-Puri-Prisoner in chapter 22.5 where Speed of Sound Sonic has been put in a maximum security wing for A class criminals. After being subject to some attempted hazing it is revealed that Puri-Puri Prisoner, the S-class Hero is the boss in this wing. His desire is for the good looking hero boys and he always lets himself go and ends up attacking (raping) them. So, he decided to put himself in prison and only attacks the criminals inside his cell block. Near the end of the chapter he watches on TV as the Sea Monster's attack and are near to defeating Lightning Max. He then blows through the wall to save his 'boy'. Speed of Sound Sonic uses this moment to escape. We next see Puri-Puri-Prisoner in chapter 30 where he arrives to catch the unconscious form of Lightning Max after Max's defeat at the hands of Sea King.

After a short conversation with Sonic, Prisoner examines the battlefield and upon realizing that both Stinger and Lightning Max, two heroes who he had taken an interest in, were defeated by Sea King he states that he will never forgive Sea King and proceeds to power up to half strength, destroying his sweater in the process. Devastated by the destruction of his sweater, a consequence he apparently blames on Sea King, Prisoner becomes even more enraged. He is then hit with a heavy blow from Sea King but the attack apparently had little to no effect as Prisoner quickly retaliates with a blow of his own.

After unleashing a destructive flurry of punches upon a surprised Sea King, Prisoner remarks that he barely felt Sea King's punch, although Sonic notices that Prisoner is having trouble keeping his balance and Prisoner himself states internally that the blow was way more powerful than he expected.Determined not to lose, Prisoner resolves that his only choice is to transform and proceeds to transform into Angel Style.



Powered up, Prisoner states that nobody has ever seen him in Angel Style and lived to tell about it. He then unleashes his special attack Angel Rush upon Sea King. After realizing that his attack had no effect on Sea King, Prisoner is assaulted by the monster's vicious blows and, with one final kick from Sea King, is effectively removed from the fight.

Alien Conquerors Arc
Puri-Puri-Prisoner is seen at the S-Class Hero Association meeting and whilst sitting there privately hopes he can use the opportunity to get closer to Genos. After the destruction of A-City, he took part in the group fight against Melzalgald.
