Rider (character)

"Next time, try using skills instead of tricks."

- Rider in the match against Team School Cardigan.

Rider is a character in the Splatoon manga and is a temporary member of the S4.

Description
Rider usually wears the Fake Contacts, the Black Inky Rider, and the Octoling Boots. In the Hero Mode arc, however, he wears the Hero Headset Replica, the Hero Jacket Replica with the Black Inky Rider on top, and the Hero Runner Replicas. His weapon is the Gold Dynamo Roller, the Kensa Dynamo Roller in volumes 8, 10, 38 and 39, and the Hero Roller during the Hero Mode arc.

Personality
Rider has a tough personality, and seems to be short tempered. After battling alongside the S4 temporarily, Rider began to care more for his teammates. He still has a serious attitude, but it’s nowhere as extreme as it was before. While sanitized he only cares about destroying things and seems to have reverted back to being tough and uncaring. After being freed from his initial sanitization, he becomes grateful to Goggles, Eight and Team Blue but still thinks that they are ridiculous: "But thanks all the same," he states after he is freed, in which Goggles pantses him.
