Plot[]
Human Monster Saga[]
Monster Association Arc[]
Noria and her team are summoned by Narinki to rescue his son. Narinki promises that if they succeed, their reward will be so great that even their grandchildren will never need to work again.
Noria and her squad infiltrate the Monster Association, but they are eventually overpowered and forced to retreat. Before they can escape, G5 captures and delivers them to Orochi and Gyoro Gyoro. Terrified, Noria and the others await their fate as the monsters discuss what to do with them. Several monsters attempt to attack, but Royal Ripper intervenes and kills the monsters, wanting to claim the victims for himself. G5 mentions that their battle suits are connected to their bodies and suggests they could be used as pawns. Royal Ripper disagrees, but before he can torture them, Do-S blocks his blade with her whip. She proposes turning them into her love slaves, and Gyoro Gyoro agrees. Noria and the other mercenaries are then enslaved under Do-S's control.
When the heroes invade the headquarters, Do-S commands Noria and the others to prepare for battle and eliminate any heroes they encounter.
Do-S and Narinki's Private Squad later confront Atomic Samurai's three disciples. Noria attacks Bushidrill, swinging her spear, but he blocks the strike with his sword. The fight continues until Sweet Mask appears, telling the disciples that he can handle the situation alone. The disciples briefly withdraw, but when they realize that Sweet Mask intends to massacre the entire squad and Do-S, they quickly return and subdue Noria and the others, in the process saving them from being killed by Sweet Mask. This leaves Sweet Mask to battle Do-S. Once Do-S is defeated, the mind control of her whip is broken, restoring Noria's and her group's free will. Grateful and awestruck, Noria and several others swoon over Sweet Mask. After hearing Tongara claim that him cowering to the monsters was just an act, she, Asami, and Sosshi also pretend that they were acting.

Neo Heroes Saga[]
Supreme Hero Arc[]
Noria, Asami, Sosshi, Sanshon, Chinpi, and Gomago all work as security guards at Narinki Park. The latter four are attacked and defeated by Pesky Clown as he wreaks havoc across the park. Noria and Asami rush to aid their injured colleagues, and together the six of them watch as the battle between Sweet Mask and Pesky Clown unfolds.
Abilities and Powers[]
As a member of Narinki's Private Squad equipped with new battle armor presumably developed by The Organization, Noria has impressive abilities. Together with the squad, she was able to pressure Atomic Samurai's disciples, who are S-Class material according to Fubuki.
Mercenary skills[]
When unarmed, Noria demonstrates exceptional close-quarters combat ability, utilizing an athletic fighting style that emphasizes teamwork with her partner, Asami. Although she is the most emotional member of the squad, Noria can convincingly fake emotions and deceive others through acting, much like her leader Tongara. Even though monsters such as Royal Ripper are difficult to fool, she can still perform convincingly. She also managed to imitate the mannerisms of a typical Do-S love slave despite only having experienced that condition once.
Equipment[]
Battle Suit: Noria wears armor presumably manufactured by The Organization[1] provided to her by Narinki. The armor is even more advanced than the previous battle suits and allows her to fight top-ranking A-Class heroes.
Double Bladed Naginata: Noria wielded a modern metallic double-bladed Naginata, and was presumably very proficient wielding it.[1] The weapon was destroyed during the battle with the disciples.

Trivia[]
- Noria is named after nori seaweed, a common sushi ingredient.
- After the revisions of Chapter 106 and Chapter 107, Atomic Samurai's disciples no longer witness Pig God consuming The Great Food Tub. Instead, Noria becomes the only character to witness Pig God swallow the monster while she and her partner Chinpi are chasing a pig-like Mysterious Being. She then tells her partner to stay quiet as they leave the scene.
