Rodriot (ロドリオット, Rodoriotto) is a professional Hunter hired by Battera to clear the game Greed Island.[1] [[File:|thumb]]
Appearance[]
Rodriot is a rotund man with a snub nose and dark skin. He wears a plain bandana[1] until the dodgeball game against Razor, which reveals that he has short, fair hair on top and shaved sides.[2] He wears the bandana again when he partakes in the first round of the 13th Hunter Chairman Election.[3] He is most commonly seen wearing the same military-like attire as his teammates.[1]
Personality[]
He seems to be the most volatile among Tsezguerra's teammates.[4]
Background[]
At some point in his life, Rodriot took and passed a Hunter Exam and learned Nen.[3] He, Barry, and Kess have been working with Tsezguerra for 20 years,[5] and were hired by Battera to clear Greed Island.[1]
Plot[]
Greed Island arc[]
Rodriot with Tsezguerra and the rest of the team
While on Greed Island, the team collects as many as 95 different specified slot cards before contacting the Bomber to trade.[1] During the trade, Genthru diverts the team's attention while Sub and Bara steal two cards from each of them, breaking their monopolies and acquiring rare cards, among which are Rodriot's "Pre-Order Vouchers" and "Hypothetical T.V.". The Bombers then escape to Masadora. Rodriot urges Tsezguerra to give chase, but the Single-Star Hunter is against it, realizing that Genthru is in fact the Bomber. They resolve to find "Plot of Beach" before him and establish a monopoly. They thus head to Soufrabi.[4] They are, however, unable to discover how to acquire the card. Not long after, Tsezguerra is contacted by Goreinu, who meets up with him and Rodriot to negotiate an alliance to get the card while Kess and Barry hide in the bushes. After listening to Goreinu's explanation of Razor's challenges, Rodriot volunteers for bowling. He and Kess go look for filler players while the others train for the rest of the week, after which the alliance confronts Razor and his pirates. Rodriot is the second to compete, defeating his opponent.[6]
Tsezguerra's team shocked at the turn of events during the dodgeball match
Because of their victories in the previous matches, Kess, Rodriot, and Barry are unable to participate in the dodgeball game, so they watch from the sidelines, administering first aid to Tsezguerra and Gon.[7][8][2][9][10][11][12] After their victory, Gon takes the original "Plot of Beach" while Tsezguerra's team settles for a copy. The Bombers immediately find out and threaten Tsezguerra, assuming that he has the original.[13] He strikes a deal with Gon's group to hold off the Bomber for three weeks in return for "Wild Luck Alexandrite". They restock on transportation spells before meeting up with the Bombers.[14] Tsezguerra's team refuses to hand over the card, and they take cards from the Bombers before escaping. Goreinu gives them the transportation spells he has collected.[15]
Tsezguerra's team confronting Battera
Nine days later, Rodriot checks the number of transportation spells in the Bombers' possession by feeding a "Chidon" card to a "Clairvoyant Snake".[16] One week later, the Bombers fly to Tsezguerra's team. When they run out of transportation spells, they leave the game, only to find Battera's mansion empty except for Sabazushi and the billionaire himself, who has canceled the reward and locked himself in his room without explanation. When the Bombers arrive,[17] Tsezguerra's team escape with Battera, quitting the game for good. They learn that Battera offered a reward for clearing the game so that he could save his comatose lover, but she died one month earlier.[5]
13th Hunter Chairman Election arc[]
Rodriot voting
After the death of Chairman Netero, Rodriot and his teammates all take part in the first round of the 13th Hunter Chairman Election.[3]
Abilities & Powers[]
Rodriot is capable enough to have passed the notoriously difficult Hunter Exam.[3] As one of the Hunters hired by Battera and a member of Tsezguerra's team, he is at least a decent Nen user, as confirmed later when Gon's team and Goreinu enlisted the help of other players to acquire "Plot of Beach". He is also a skilled bowling player, having defeated one of Razor's pirates.[6]
Nen[]
Due to being able to access Greed Island and being a Hunter, Rodriot is capable of utilizing Nen.[18] Before the bowling game against one of Razor's pirates, Rodriot implied that he had a Nen ability particularly suited to that challenge.[6]
