Yajuu Yajuu no Mi/Monkey Mode Techs

Overview
Rio’s third ability and the most combat orientated one that he only uses when he gets serious against his opponent. During his childhood, Rio befriended one of the local monkeys in the area and it taught him the basics of climbing trees and swinging from vines.

Beast Mode: Monkey (獣モード猿  Shishi modo Monki) is a mode that can utilize one hundred percent of Rio’s fighting capability as it increases the swiftness of Rio’s punches, the agility of his flips, and the precision of his kicks. Rio has reserved this form for special occasions whenever he is pushed back against someone who is a match against his normal state. Along with increasing his combat ability, the form gives him the gymnastic ability of a monkey and makes his fighting style unpredictable and wild, as if he was playing around rather than fighting.

Rio usually improvises techniques on the spot in this form but there are a few techniques that he has exclusively created when using this form. Such techniques include:

Techniques

 * Rolling Tornado (サルーリング竜巻  Worring Tornada): A technique that Rio invented during his childhood that later became known as his favorite move to pull off whenever he uses this mode. Soaring into the air with incredible air time, Rio uses the sheer momentum from a kick he launches to continuously spin a complete three hundred and sixty degrees. Due to the force of the spins, he creates a tornado around himself that has enough destructive power to blow away his opponents. This technique is also a great asset to him whenever he needs to make an escape as he can blow away his pursuers surrounding him and escape through the air.


 * Roundhouse Axe (大振り槍  Oburi Supear): A variation of the Rolling Tornado in which instead of jumping into the air, Rio crouches down and leaps forward. From this, he lands one of his hands on the ground and spins his entire body on that one arm. Using the momentum from the spin, he lets go and thanks to the force of the spin, he extends his legs out together and slams his opponent with this devastating attack.
