Rody Soul, a street-smart courier in Otheon, navigates life shaped by familial tragedy and abandonment. His mother’s death after his sister Lala’s birth and his engineer father Eddie’s desertion to join the cult Humarise left the family ostracized, plunging them into poverty. Forced into a crumbling caravan in Otheon’s slums, Rody shoulders responsibility for his younger siblings, Roro and Lala, vowing to shield them from further hardship. Resentment toward Eddie fuels Rody’s worldview, epitomized by his destruction of a paternal locket. Distrust extends to heroism, as Otheon’s neglected slums lack hero agencies, reinforcing his skepticism toward societal structures. To provide for his siblings, he resorts to petty theft and shady jobs, cloaking his protective instincts beneath a laid-back facade. His Quirk, "Soul," materializes as Pino, a bird-like projection that involuntarily mirrors his emotions, thwarting deception and exposing his inner turmoil. A chance encounter with Izuku Midoriya during a botched jewel heist entangles Rody in Humarise’s scheme to detonate Quirk-erasing Trigger Bombs. After seizing a critical briefcase from a dying scientist, Rody and Izuku forge a reluctant partnership, fleeing across Otheon. Izuku’s selflessness gradually erodes Rody’s cynicism, culminating in Rody confessing Eddie’s Humarise ties—a revelation that bridges their divide. In the climax, Rody leverages Pino’s emotional transparency to deceive Humarise leader Flect Turn, feigning betrayal against Izuku to create a tactical opening. Despite grave injuries, he infiltrates Humarise’s systems to activate a kill code, neutralizing the bombs and preventing global disaster. This act redeems Eddie’s legacy and redefines Rody’s view of heroism. Post-mission, Rody secures stable work and pursues his childhood ambition of becoming a pilot, transitioning from survivalist pragmatism to purposeful ambition. His journey underscores resilience, familial devotion, and redemption, charting a path from jaded outsider to inadvertent hero.
