First appearance: Battle 48
Type: Sei / Dou (specializes in Sei)
Type: Satsujin Ken
YOMI Symbol: Flow
Nickname: Odin (Ragnarok and YOMI Nickname)
Martial Arts: Hybrid Martial Arts including Karate, Boxing, a bit of modern Pankration and possibly Ogata's "Ancient Martial Art"; uses Seikuken
Ryūto, as Odin, was the leader and the strongest member of Ragnarok. He is currently a member of YOMI and has mastered Seikūken (制空圏 lit. sphere/circle of created/built void/space?), a technique which allows him to create a barrier that can neutralize attacks.
Ryūto was Kenichi's friend when they were young, before Kenichi moved out of the neighborhood. They witnessed Miu's martial arts skills when they were six years old, prompting them to make a vow to become stronger. He had coveted the Yin-Yang badge Miu gave to Kenichi and challenges him to fight for its possession. Kenichi defeats Ryūto but concedes to him, of which Ryūto reacts unkindly too. It's shown afterward that he plays the coin machine until he's gotten a Yin-Yang badge of his own. Before Keinchi moves out of his neighborhood, Ryūto declares they both become stronger learning martial arts and challenging each other again when they're older. When he finally meets Kenichi again he quickly defeats him and takes the badge.
Later, when he faces Kenichi again, Kenichi appears to have the upper hand until Ryūto shows his true strength. Kenichi's skills then prove to be no match against Odin's Seikūken. Kenichi manages to overpower Odin by imitating his masters' style and techniques, but Ryūto becomes enraged and combines the ki of both Sei and Dou to and once again overpower Kenichi. Doing so places a great strain on Ryūto's body, and eventually he is unable to avoid Kenichi's final attack. As a sign of his defeat, he gives Kenichi his Yin-Yang badge back.
The self-inflicted damage of combining Sei and Dou turned his hair white, blackened one eye, and left him wheelchair-bound, but he remains a formidable opponent, able to execute his Seikūken and Gungnir techniques despite his condition.
He is named after Odin, the chief God in Norse mythology.
