OVA
Description
Kinshirō Kusatsu commands top academic standing as student council president at Binan High School. He possesses silver bob-cut hair, green eyes, and a height of 176 cm, making him the shortest Conquest Club member. He wears the school's distinctive white student council uniform.
During middle school, Kinshirō shared a close bond with Atsushi Kinugawa, using the childhood nicknames "Atsu-chan" and "Nishiki-chan." Their friendship fractured when Kinshirō witnessed Atsushi eating curry with En Yufuin, despite knowing Kinshirō's aversion to it. Interpreting this as betrayal, Kinshirō withdrew without explanation, leading to prolonged estrangement. He harbored unresolved feelings, often reacting with jealousy or anger when observing Atsushi with others, especially En Yufuin, whose relaxed nature he disdained.
As a Conquest Club founder alongside Ibushi Arima and Akoya Gero, Kinshirō transforms into the golden knight Aurite by invoking "Conquest!" with a rhombus-shaped ring. He wields a rapier and unleashes light-based attacks, embodying "blinding light" tied to extravagance and corrupted power—a contrast to the Earth Defense Club's warmth. His transformation initially featured a black military-style coat with gold accents, later shifting to white and gold. Under severe emotional duress, he accesses Dark Aurite, marked by red eyes, purple lips, and heightened destructive power like the Ater Aurum and Gigant Aurum attacks. Kinshirō initially used his powers to create monsters spreading discord, avoiding direct combat.
A pivotal shift came when external forces exposed the Conquest Club's actions as staged manipulations. This revelation devastated Kinshirō, sapping his motivation until Atsushi rescued him from physical danger and explicitly reaffirmed their friendship. Prompted by this, Kinshirō sought redemption by allying with the Earth Defense Club against a common threat. Post-reconciliation, his demeanor softened significantly; he displayed open protectiveness toward Atsushi, insisting on immediate return to Binan after unanswered communications, and exhibited frequent blushing or flustered reactions at mentions of Atsushi.
His personality blends strict adherence to rules and order—reflecting his affluent upbringing and occasional comical misunderstandings of everyday norms—with underlying purity and sporadic childishness. Hobbies include Japanese archery, visiting Sanjusangendo Temple, and enjoying traditional sweets like kintsuba and amanatto. He maintains a master-servant dynamic with Ibushi Arima rooted in their shared childhood.
In later narratives, including graduation-focused events, Kinshirō participated in collaborative battles against adversaries like Zundar and Dadacha, utilizing combined attacks such as Ultima Adamas alongside former rivals. His growth culminated in a sustained commitment to supporting Atsushi and upholding justice within the school.
His family's extraordinary affluence leads to unconventional actions like attempting to use student council funds for personal finger bowls or purchasing land near a school trip destination.
