But you're missing my main point: neither SIU or the story has stated or classified that Koon Ran is also a Spear Bearer in addition to being a Fisherman. Ran has as much claim to the Position as Maschenny, only due to both of them being able to use the Lightning Spear Techniques, however neither of them are stated as being dual Fishermen-Spear Bearer. Hell, by your inference, Novick has as much of a claim to being a hybrid Spear Bearer-Fisherman. But like I keep on saying, Ran merely took on the role of Spear Bearer because he's very good at throwing electric shinsoo spears. His primary Position, as recognised by the story (and currently SIU), is still only as a Fisherman.

Like I mentioned before, it seems SIU is redefining primary/given Positions altogether, especially with Karaka's Scout-Fisherman hybrid (and Wave Controller) revelation. But then again, Positions only really seem to matter in team battles, which hasn't helped when the majority of battles we've seen have been 1-on-1's. And I would agree, Hatsu certainly seems to fit the Scout-Fisherman hybrid and the majority of characters would equally fit hybrid Positions given the same thought (Rak, Novick or Amigochaz being a Spear Bearer-Fisherman, Yihwa being a Fisherman-Wave Controller etc). It's just that nothing and no-one has said, "Yes actually, all these characters have hybrid Positions".
