Ryo Shimazaki is a powerful and blind young man who is one of the "Ultimate 5," a group of top espers in the evil organization Claw. He is confident in his unbeatable powers, boasting that no one except the Claw boss is stronger than him. Ryo has the ability to predict movements and teleport at will, making him almost invincible in battle. Even though he seems easygoing and polite, he can be cold and shows little concern for his enemies. He is not truly interested in world domination and is more focused on enjoying thrilling battles. Ryo is very popular with fans because of his distinct appearance and strong skills, but after being defeated, his whereabouts become a mystery.
Ryo Shimazaki has black hair that is slicked back, except for one strand falling down in the middle.
He is considered handsome, with eyes that are usually closed because he is blind.
When his eyelids are open, his eyes look dark, almost as if they are completely covered with black.
His closed eyes are likely intentional due to his blindness.
Ryo always wears a calm and gentle smile.
He speaks politely and stays cool even in dangerous situations.
He is very confident because of his strong psychic powers and often seems relaxed during fights.
If Ryo thinks someone is dangerous, he tries to fight them one-on-one to get rid of them quickly.
He claims he does not like picking on weak people, but sometimes he looks down on others and uses harsh words.
For example, he calls former Claw members "sewer rats" and "cockroaches," and chases Ritsu Kageyama relentlessly.
Ryo Shimazaki belongs to the group called Claw, which plans to take over the world using psychic power.
He is a direct subordinate to Claw's boss and is known as one of the "Ultimate 5."
Even though he is very friendly on the surface, he is actually one of the strongest fighters in the organization.
He does not really care about Claw's world domination and just wants to enjoy himself.
Ryo has strong psychic powers, especially telekinesis, which he uses for close combat.
He can predict others' movements, making it almost impossible to surprise him.
His teleportation allows him to move quickly and escape attacks, and he can do it as often as he likes with no warning.
He avoids using projectiles or flashy attacks, preferring to fight up close.
His defense is also very high, and normal weapons like guns cannot hurt him.
Ryo can focus deeply to use "Mind's Eye," which lets him sense psychic energy and physical movements perfectly.
This mode makes him nearly untouchable, but he can only track certain targets and cannot sense normal people, which is a big weakness.
His flaws include being unable to react to attacks from outside his awareness and sometimes moving in predictable patterns.
"I consider myself the world's strongest, except for the boss."
"Anything is fine as long as it's fun."
Attacking the Prime Minister
Ryo helps Claw declare war on the world by kidnapping the Prime Minister during a public speech.
He easily overcomes Teruki Hanazawa’s attempts to stop him and completes the mission.
Fighting Off Former Claw Members
Ryo defeats former Claw Seventh Division members who try to sneak into the Claw headquarters through the sewers.
He stands in front of the Tower and faces many enemy espers, including Ritsu Kageyama, Teruki Hanazawa, and old Claw agents, all by himself.
Even when they teamed up and tried to surprise him, Ryo continued to overwhelm everyone.
The Mind's Eye and Defeat
In battle, he uses his special "Mind's Eye" ability to track the movements of psychic users perfectly.
But because "Mind's Eye" only works on espers, he does not notice Arataka Reigen, who is not psychic.
Reigen lands several attacks in his "Self-Defense Rush," and Ryo is knocked down.
When Shigeo Kageyama (Mob) arrives with overwhelming power, Ryo gives up easily, saying it was not worth the trouble.
Aftermath
Although Ryo tries to brush off questions about his loss, saying he just wants to have fun, Mob gets angry at him for causing problems for so many people.
Pressured by Mob's anger, Ryo teleports away.
His whereabouts after the fight are not known.
Because of his good looks, Ryo Shimazaki is very popular among fans.
He is the only former member of the Ultimate 5, except for Katsuya Serizawa, to have official merchandise.
He also has the most fan art on pixiv among the former Ultimate 5 (excluding Serizawa).
