Role

In the side story Thrust to the Future, Riku appears at the Toubo Department Store Rooftop, which frequently holds performances of the superhero Raiga on a live stage. Touma is very enthusiastic about the show, but Riku finds his excitement childish. He claims that he was just in the area to kill time, and that heroes and the values they represent cannot exist. Touma wants to cheer the kid up, and blurts out that he will be the hero on the next show - however, he only manages to get a part as a minor villain instead.

In the side story Touma in Leopard Print, Riku, who watched the show on TV, ridicules Touma for lying about the part and getting a lesser role. Touma apologizes and promises to become a hero eventually, but Riku dismisses him, claiming that he can never smile again due to his parents' divorce, his mother's resulting depression, and the bullying he faces at school - he has given up on the world. Touma makes his promise again, but Riku refuses to believe him and leaves.

Touma lands a part as Hyoma Kiba, the civilian identity of Raiga, and performs the role at the live show. Riku attends the show in-person, and appears to be heavily engrossed in it. Touma explains to Itsuki that Riku reminds him of himself at a younger age: his parents ran off due to overwhelming debt, so he was raised by his grandfather, and was bullied for it. However, a hero TV show he watched gave him the courage and happiness he needed - he wanted to become that for Riku.

In the side story The Hero Awakens, Riku is reported missing and is confirmed by the police to have disappeared into the 106 Idolasphere. Itsuki and Touma go to investigate, and Tiki detects a Mirage's presence on the Idolasphere's roof. Just before they arrive, Itsuki receives a Topic that Touma will be late to his hero show audition if he stays - despite this, Touma insists on saving Riku himself, to fulfill the promise he made.

At the roof, they find Riku held hostage by the Mirage Abel, who has been cursed in such a way to magnify his rivalry with Touma's Mirage Cain. Abel insists on settling his and Cain's rivalry, under threat of ending Riku's life. Riku cries out for Raiga to save him, strengthening Touma's resolve, and he accepts Abel's challenge.

After defeating Abel, he is freed from his madness and apologizes for his actions. Chrom offers to have Abel join their cause, but Abel wishes to protect Riku instead. Cain reminds Touma of the audition and uses his motorbike to rush Touma there - he not only makes it in time, but also gets the part.

Some time later at the office, Itsuki and Touma see the latter debut as the hero Ouga on the Masqueraider TV show. Riku, now a Mirage Master with Abel, soon arrives at the office. At Abel's insistence, Riku asks if Touma would teach him how to be a hero.

In a post-credits description, it is revealed that Touma wrote, directed, and starred in his own hero movie, with rising star Riku as his costar. The movie would be acclaimed for its action scenes.
