Description
Personality
Yuta Iridatsu is a complex character whose personality is shaped by his unusual circumstances. He's presented as a seemingly average, shy, and somewhat perverted young man, easily embarrassed by the sight of underwear. However, beneath this exterior lies a deeply caring individual who values his friends above all else, readily offering support and a listening ear. His history of experimentation and body-switching adds layers to his character, highlighting his resilience and capacity for compassion even in the face of trauma. Despite inhabiting a female body, Yuta maintains a strong sense of his male identity, adding another dimension to his personality. His actions throughout the story demonstrate a blend of vulnerability and strength, showcasing his determination to protect his friends and overcome the challenges he faces. His perversion, while a comedic element, also serves to highlight his youthful awkwardness and the unusual situation he finds himself in.
Abilities
Yuta Iridatsu's primary ability stems from his capacity for "Uberfication," a transformation triggered by intense emotional states, particularly those related to seeing women's underwear. This transformation drastically enhances his physical strength, speed, and reflexes. The visual changes accompanying Uberfication include a shift in hair color to bright scarlet red and eye color to bright gold while in Chiyoko's body. The extent of his power increase during Uberfication isn't precisely quantified, but it's depicted as significant enough to allow him to overcome opponents considerably stronger than himself in his normal state. His Uberfication also seems to be linked to body-switching abilities, as he involuntarily switched bodies with his friends during a traumatic event involving Uberfication and a lightning strike. In his own body, his Uberfication is implied to be even more powerful, though this is not fully explored in the source material. The repeated use of Uberfication, however, has negative consequences, potentially leading to death or severe physical strain. Beyond Uberfication, Yuta doesn't possess any other explicitly defined superpowers or special abilities.
