Personality
As a hero, Sajin seemed to care much about the feelings of crime victims, such as families of murdered people. Even while facing villains, he did not hesitate to put his battle aside and rescue the officers transporting Kai Chisaki from crashing their van.[4]
Synopsis
Shie Hassaikai Arc
After the Eight Precepts of Death are defeated by the Heroes, they are escorted by special police vehicles to the Villain Hospital in Takodana. Tomura Shigaraki, along with several other villains, arrive at the police convoy to get revenge on Kai Chisaki and his yakuza.
Snatch is present in one of the police cars to act as a bodyguard and quickly emerges to fight the villains after his car is attacked by Dabi. He protects the car and taunts the League of Villains, to which Tomura responds by jumping off of their own vehicle, and attempting to use his Quirk on Snatch, only to fail because of Snatch's immunity to Decay. Snatch attempts to restrain Tomura but is intercepted by Atsuhiro Sako's Quirk, which throws the police car into the air.
Snatch is trapped with Dabi's flames.
Snatch then safely lands on the road, carrying the policeman that operated the car. After this, he is confronted by Dabi. He deduces that Dabi is the mass murderer that made news recently, based on his Quirk, and when Dabi shows the joy of this infamy, Snatch scolds him for not caring about feelings of the victims' families. He tries to attack Dabi with a sand creature, but is quickly engulfed in Dabi's blue flames and compressed into a ball along with the fire, which kills the hero since he can only transform his upper body.[4]
Pro Hero Arc
Endeavor brought up Snatch's death to Dabi who didn't recall the hero's name before the latter attacked, but Dabi retreated after Mirko shows up. While walking, Dabi then recalled who Snatch was from the attack on the police escort and the impact of what he said to Dabi.[5]
Abilities
Quirk
Sandstorm: Sajin possessed a Quirk that allowed him to transform the upper half of his body into sand. He was able to control this sand and expand the amount of it. He also seemed to be quite skillful with his Quirk, as he could turn the sand into constructs like a sand creature with claws.[4]
He was noted to have immunity to Tomura Shigaraki's Quirk, as his body became countless grains of sand, and Tomura's Quirk has to be touching an object with all of his five fingers to disintegrate it. The transformed parts are also resistant to fire, as Dabi's flames had no effect on him.[4]
