Tooru Kokonoe is the male protagonist of the Absolute Duo series. After a horrific incident in his past, he decided to enroll in Kouryou Academy to get stronger, and to understand his Irregular Blaze. His Duo partner is Jullie Sigtuna.
Appearance
Tooru, as said by girls, is quite a handsome young man and well built. He also is said to be a bit taller than the average teen male. He has shortish brown hair and brown-goldenish eyes. He is usually seen wearing his school uniform, which consists of a white dress shirt with a blue tie, black jacket and a pair of blue pants. When he is in the dorms with Julie he wears a white shirt and a pair of shorts, occasionally he tends to wear a green and white hoodie and jogging pants. Like every ≪Blaze≫ user, Tor has the ≪Astar≫ mark located on his chest.
Personality
Tooru is known to be a kind guy. Although he is a little dense, he is strong-minded and has a friendly personality, which results in girls getting attracted to him. He would always pep up his friends and protect them, whenever they are sad, and because of this, he has a quite care-free personality and can often accept other's faults without much trouble.
So far in the series, his favorite food is meat and he can tolerate any type of vegetables, Because of the lack of variety in his meals, Tachibana and Hotaka give him a plate of vegetables everyday. On the island, he eats all meat he can before Tachibana notices.
Background
What is known of Tooru's background is limited. But what is known is that when he was a little boy, his little sister and all the kids at the dojo were killed by an unknown boy. Due to this incident, Tooru enrolled to Kouryou Academy to get stronger. Tooru still consistently get flashbacks and nightmares from the incident, and it further inspires him to become stronger, because the boy told him that his sister died because he was "too weak".
Chronology
Abilities
Shield Blaze
- Tooru is the only one of the two known people in the series to have an ≪Irregular Blaze≫, which can manifest into a shield. He is said to always protect other people with his power and he himself admits this. It also seems to be impossible to break, very much akin to his will, or it is much harder to break than most ≪Blaze≫ due to its nature.
Aegis Desire
- After Tooru reached Level IV (when he injected himself with an injection of Lukifer) He gained the ability to manifest Aegis Desire, a blue energy barrier capable of shielding himself and allies at a large radius.
Martial Arts
- Tor was raised in a dojo, with that he not only got the ideal to respect and help comrades, but strong offensive attacks and defense. He is very agile and can beat most of his enemies with his skills. He is shown to be very skilled in his punches and kicks, especially since he has no formal weapon.
Mjolnir
- Ever since Tooru received his ≪Astar≫ mark , he has strengthened a powerful punch attack which Tooru learned from his days at the dojo. When Tooru and Julie were talking about his "special attack" Julie decided to dub it "Mjolnir", after the destructive hammer wielded by the Norse god Thor. Mjolnir focuses a large amount of energy and force, allowing it to extend about a foot past where the punch was thrown. Tooru has also been shown using Mjonir's force to shatter floors and demolish entire buildings. However, using Mjolnir comes with a price. Tooru has stated in the beginning of the series that he cannot use Mjolnir more than twice a day, and that most women who are not well built cannot use this move, because the toll on the user's body due to the force applied is too strong. Tooru can however use Mjolnir more and more as the series progresses, as he gets stronger. Mjolnir is also the same move that Julie wanted to learn from Tooru, but was told that her body would not be able to withstand using it.
Trivia
- In Japanese, 'Tooru' is pronounced in the same way as 'Thor', the Norse god of thunder.
- He rejected Lilith Bristol's offer twice to be her Duo.
- In Norse Myths Mjolnir is the name of Thor's hammer.
