Satoshi Mizukami/Abilities



As befits a member of a Squad with a stable standing in the upper tier of B-rank, Mizukami is a capable Shooter. In combat he takes a support role, pressuring the opponent from a distance while his teammates engage at close quarters and guarding them as necessary. He may also use his bullets to control the opponents' position, ideally from a vantage point that allows him to monitor the state of the battle at large so he can warn his teammates about incoming threats. In fact, despite not being the captain, Mizukami is his Squad's centerpiece for tactics. During combat he is responsible for analyzing and keeping track of enemy movements, directing his teammates accordingly. When multiple paths are open, he lets Tatsuhito Ikoma decide which one to pick before focusing on how to achieve it himself. Combined with the active role he plays on the battlefield, Mizukami's ability to strategize in real time vouches for excellent multi-tasking skills. He also seems to be in charge of what little planning his Squad carries out before a rank war.

Mizukami's skills as a Shooter are advanced enough for him to split his cubes and scatter the bullets, as well as to delay them at least to a small extent and fire on the move. Furthermore, Mizukami is capable of calling out a different bullet from the one he fires, potentially causing his opponents to put up an unsuitable defense. The deception is not flawless, however, as Kazuaki Ōji was able to see through it. This technique demands a high level of skill, although it is not effective against opponents outside of Border.

Apart from the abilities that make him a capable Border agent, Mizukami is the best shōgi player in Border, and he was on track to become a professional player until middle school. He is also stated to be particularly intelligent, to the extent that he is "throwing off the bell curve".
