Hmm. Well, perhaps we can compromise.
We could say that through hard work, his mother's support, and a bit of help from Rust Warrior, Asahi managed to at least scrounge together a sort of weaker version of his father's Warrior One exoskeleton suit. If nessisary I'd even include that Asahi did have to do some "shady" work to get the money he needed, though nothing that would get blood on his hands. Just the sort of work you'd might expect someone to do at say, midnight to six in the morning.
Also Asahi's suit differes from his father's Warrior One because had it's own self-contained and highly power efficient battery; he fought against heroes the whole day, only defeated after Rust Warrior had used his quirks to strip Asahi's father of his armor. Asahi's on the other hand not only lacks all his father's upgrades, but also relies on batteries with limited power. Which may be fine if Asahi only has to fight one or two battles in quick succession, it's far less useful if he's caught in a situation were resupplies are limited, like trapped in the middle of nowhere. The batteries themselves are, in my mind, a sort of crude arc reactor that can produce an insane amount of energy, but the lower quality ones burn out quickly while the best would require materials Asahi can't legally access.
The exoskeleton of course still gives Asahi super human strength and durability (Asahi can safely fall from great heights in his armor, a fact he will capitalize often). But the rest, including armor and supplies, are provided by the UA. By offering them the schematics of his Guardian One exoskeleton (They couldn't get the Warrior One since Asahi's father destroyed it along with himself, and his notes were too vague to make use of even after the law took his stuff), they give Asahi some extra armor and supplies to use.
There's really only two concepts I have in mind for Asahi and his armor: being very tanky, and being oddly fast. The super strength is a necessary secondary power simply to use his shields, but his true strength lies in his durability and agility. Asahi needs to be fast to block incoming attacks from villains towards his allies, while also tough enough to withstand said attacks. having the enemy focus on him because he's the toughest to kill is precisely what he wants to happen. His offensive ability is certainly on point, but it's not quite as flashy or even as effective as some heroes. He just bashes things with his shield, maybe turns himself into a human bullet if the circumstances are right. but you won't see Asahi wiping out a whole gang of bad guys in one blow.
