Aru Rikuhachima

Aru Rikuhachima is the president of Problem Solver 68 and a student of Gehenna Academy in Blue Archive. She wants to be seen as a sophisticated criminal mastermind, although her organization usually accepts ordinary jobs and ends up helping people.

Aru Rikuhachima and Problem Solver 68

Theatrical, ambitious, and easily flustered, Aru rehearses villainous poses but has a strong conscience. Her attempts to look ruthless often collapse when she worries about clients or teammates.

The gap between villainous image and genuine loyalty

Aru fights with a sniper rifle and leads Kayoko, Mutsuki, and Haruka. Her relationship with Sensei and repeated encounters with the Prefect Team reveal that her outlaw image is largely performance, while her persistence keeps Problem Solver 68 together.
