Nataku Son, an 11-year-old boy with light-orange wavy hair and orange eyes—later transformed to white pupils upon awakening pyrokinetic powers—struggles under the weight of parental expectations. His parents’ relentless academic pressure, including his mother’s sharp disapproval over an 87% science test score, molded him into a perfectionist plagued by anxiety. To cope, he visualized himself as a emotionless robot bound to obey commands, fearing failure and masking vulnerability. His trajectory shifted when Rekka Hoshimiya subjected him to an experiment with an Infernal Bug, triggering Third Generation pyrokinetic abilities. These powers included radioactive flames and the latent Adolla Burst, designating him the Sixth Pillar. Manifesting as floating radiation symbols, his capabilities unleashed long-range energy beams and hazardous radiation within 200 meters, threatening the Tokyo Empire if unrestrained. Haijima Industries’ Power Development Facility imprisoned him for rigorous training under Yūichirō Kurono, whose harsh methods deepened Nataku’s psychological fractures. Hallucinations of Rekka urging destruction intensified his PTSD, culminating in a berserk episode during a combat trial. Uncontrolled radioactive emissions nearly devastated the city until Charon diverted the blast skyward. Shinra Kusakabe’s Adolla Link exposed Nataku’s inner anguish, prompting Kurono to concede the boy’s need to embrace imperfection. This acknowledgment stabilized Nataku, dissolving the radiation storm. Though remaining under Haijima’s watch post-rescue, Nataku gained emotional resilience, tempering Rekka’s lingering influence. Shinra’s time manipulation during the Great Cataclysm reset his existence, reviving him in the rewritten world. Outside his volatile powers, Nataku finds solace in card games, curry, udon, and a clandestine dream of designing games. His path—from suffocating expectations to fragile self-acceptance—mirrors the duality of his destructive potential and tenuous control over it.
