 In Volume 23, Ouryuu reappeared alongside Millarca Vordenberg at the Occult Research Club to introduce the Dragon King Tiamat to Issei and other members. Under Tiamat's approval to join Issei's team for the Azazel Cup and his worth of five pawn pieces, Ouryuu lowers his head to Issei and tells him he won't become a devil but he'll fight under Issei as his "Fist" of the "Red Dragon Emperor of the Blazing Truth", which angers Bova. During training underneath the Gremory castle, Ouryuu spared with Issei to show his abilities and his Yellow Dragon & Dragon Pulse. On the day of the match against Dulio, Ouryuu and Elmenhilde wore their crimson uniform and during the match Ouryuu managed to score his team five points.

## Powers & Abilities

**Immense Strength**: Ouryuu is shown to be very strong as he is able to go toe-to-toe with Issei during training. Xenovia commented that he's in a different league among those with special powers.

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Ouryuu possesses immense skill in hand-to-hand combat, as shown during his training session with Issei, an immensely powerful combatant.

**Immense Speed**: Ouryuu possesses impressive speed. When combined with his Touki, he is able to keep up with Issei during their training session. Issei even commented that Ouryuu could toy with a High-Class devil with his speed.

**Touki** (闘気): Ouryuu covers himself in an aura of *ki*, drastically increasing his offense, defense, and speed. By using this in conjunction with his Dragon's Pulse ability, he can further enhance his Touki.

## Equipment

**Yellow DragonHuánglóng** (黃龍, *Ouryuu*): The Sacred Beast of the Nakiri Clan that has been handed down for generations to the strongest mystic of the clan who is personally chosen by the Sacred Beast itself, along with its name.

* **Dragon's Pulse**: As the Sacred Beast that represents earth, the Yellow Dragon grants Ouryuu the ability to tap into the "veins" of *ki* that flow throughout the land. This allows him to use this earth based *ki* to strengthen his own physical abilities to significant degrees. If Ouryuu fights in a location where the earth is rich, he will have a greater supply of earth based *ki* to draw from, therefore making him stronger.

## Trivia

* In Chinese religion and mythology, the Ouryuu (Yellow Dragon) in East Asian culture is the fifth symbol completing the Sixiang (Four Symbols). This deity is the centre of the cosmos and it represents the element earth, the Chinese quintessence, as well as the changing of the seasons.
* Ouryuu was created because Ishibumi wanted another male junior that looks up to Issei, similar to Gasper.
