Hitomi Uzaki and Eruza Nakashima

Hitomi, appearance

Hitomi is a young girl of average height with short white hair with bangs covering her forehead, brown eyes, and an athletic build. She usually wears her school uniform, which consists of a white open-collar shirt with a red bow, a brown jacket, a blue skirt, white ankle-length socks, and sandals. For her battle attire, Hitomi prefers to wear a simple white crop top and revealing white panties when she goes barefoot. After the break, Hitomi starts wearing a different crop top, with a jacket and shorts over it. As a child, Hitomi had a wild appearance due to her Original Beast Form and wore only a simple dress. After losing her Original Beast Form and adapting to human society, Hitomi began wearing normal, clean clothes that suit her.

Hitomi, character

Hitomi has an extremely fierce personality, making her quite unfriendly and intimidating to those around her. She will pick fights with anyone with little to no provocation if they anger her, therianthrope or not. She shows no shame or reluctance over her attire during fights, but is aware that she acts more feminine despite her tomboyish behavior. Hitomi is not very aware of most perverts until they act on her. For example, after Yuuya accidentally grabbed her breasts, Hitomi blushed and called him a pervert, which was followed by a punch to the face. However, when Eruza tricked her into dressing up as a maid while still retaining some of her therianthrope traits, she was oblivious to the fact that other boys were staring at her until much later. She also has a fondness for sweets, giving her a cute, normal girly expression. Most often, Hitomi stops acting aggressively when she encounters Shido Reiichi (or receives an order from him via communication), where she turns into a respectful, sweet, and very obedient person. Thanks to her strong honey badger genes, Hitomi never backs down from a fight, no matter how dire her situation. This is also mainly due to the fact that she has never felt fear since she was born. She is also naturally very confident in her abilities, which makes her extremely arrogant. Despite the odds being 100-0 in her match against champion Brutus Leo, Hitomi confidently told Brutus that she was guaranteed victory and arrogantly ridiculed him. Her victory even led to her forgetting his name after they met for the second time. She also confidently believes that she is the strongest Brutus in the world, which meant to her that she does not need allies or loyalty to a zaibatsu. In the midst of her battles, Hitomi becomes a fearsome, hot-blooded fighter with an aggressive personality.

Eruza, appearance

Eruza has shoulder-length caramel brown hair that she wears in short twin tails with a pair of orb-shaped ornaments, and brown eyes (dark red in the anime). She is slightly short and has small breasts compared to most of the females in the series. Her casual attire consists of a white long-sleeved shirt with a blue tie, a grey and yellow sweater vest, a dark grey blue skirt, dark blue socks, and black shoes. When competing in Killing Bites, Eruza wears a cheetah-print top and a matching sarong skirt.

Eruza, character

In public, Eruza can be seen as a bit childish, naughty, and quite playful, as she stole Hitomi's panties and happily ran off with them only to have the former chase after her. She was also more than willing to cosplay and pose for the Yuuya club members. However, when participating in Killing Bites, Eruza becomes more serious, cruel, and bloodthirsty, seeing herself as a "hunter" who shows no mercy to her prey. When it came to her and Ui during the destruction of Killing Bites, Eruza pursued her, knowing full well that she was weaker than her, after the latter attempted to escape. She furiously tried to chop Hanzaki Moe's body into ribbons and eventually went for the kill by stabbing her through the chest. Regardless of whether they engage in combat with her or not, Eruza will not hesitate to eliminate any opponents she spots if they provide her with an opportunity to strike, believing that this is how a cheetah should fight. Although ruthless, Eruza can show some leniency if she is satisfied with how things went according to her plan, as she chose not to kill Hitomi while she was unconscious after defeating Kido. She is very confident in her abilities, especially her speed, and will often arrogantly berate her opponents while maintaining a smile on her face. As a veteran brute, Eruza looks down on rookie competitors, considering them weak due to their inexperience, and was determined to put them in their place during the Killing Bites Death Match by mercilessly attacking anyone she could. Eruza also takes great pride in being a Beast, and can be displeased when other Beasts do something sneaky while participating in Killing Bites, as she considered Moe a disgrace after she attempted to use her Salamander Fire. Eruza is loving, loyal, and respects Taiga greatly, as he is the only family she has left and the person responsible for giving her courage.

Backstory with a kiss

At the Deadly Bite tournament, under the influence of one of the opponents' pheromones, Hitomi and Eruza kissed very passionately, so much so that it almost came to intercourse. Both girls, however, deny the fact that this actually happened.
