Shinra Relationships

Akitaru
Akitaru Obi is Shinra's captain who he respects highly due to Obi being strong enough to fight Infernals and even other captains without an ignition ability. Obi also acts as a mentor and older brother figure befitting his role as captain while rarely getting angry.

Takehisa Hinawa
Shinra both respects and fears Lt. Hinawa and obeys his orders even more than Akitaru. That being said he views HInawa as a reliable comrade he can confide in and respects his intelligence and advice.

Arthur Boyle
Shinra possesses a brother like rivalry with Arthur going back to the Academy rotted in their debate whether heroes or knights are better. Despite the antagonism they hold toward each other, Shinra views Arthur as a reliable comrade and they work well together when they put their rivalry aside.

Maki Oze
Shinra has come to view Maki as an older sister figure and strong comrade and friend he respects. He also finds her attractive as he blushed when they first met when she explained how she altered his cloths to better use his abilities.

Iris
Shinra sees Iris as a friend and someone to protect as seen when he saved her when they first met before he joined company 8. He has shown to find her attractive as he has blushed when seeing her exposed during her purification ritual and when they went shopping.

Tamaki Kotatsu
Shinra has a slight rivalry with Tamaki going back to the rookie games. They get along well as comrades and he considers her a good friend alongside the rest of the company 8. Although he gets irritated when he gets caught in her lucky lecher lure, he does find her attractive as when he first encountered her, but is unaware of her feelings for him due to her tsundere nature which also irritates him when she acts insulting and abrasive toward him.

Hibana
Though starting out as enemies, after defeating her Shinra sees Hibana as a friend and comrade in the search for the truth. Though he is unaware of her feelings for him he sees her as attractive, blushing when he accidentally looked up her dress and hoping to see a nude picture of her in the firemen calendar.
