You do realize that every successful manga will always bring light to abilities and past on a character that you didn't know from the start, yes? So, isn't it safe to assume that Mikumo has a side effect, it's just currently unknown? Take Tokieda for example (hearing guy). His whole life, he didn't even realize it was a side effect. He always assumed he just had good hearing. The side effect easily fits his personality, as does everyone else's side effect. So, maybe Mikumo's side effect could be linked to his strong will to do the right thing? Similar to how Jin can see every future crossroad, maybe Mikumo has an innate ability to make the choice that usually leads to his best crossroad? Additionally, I don't think he's weak at all. In the latest chapters, he's easily able to stick with what's right and refuses to make any excuse for himself for using his trigger in an unauthorized zone for rookies. He is then still capable of saying he'd make the same mistake if it would save lives at that moment. This ended up in completely helping Border in a sense that they could then create an analogy between what Mikumo did and what they want to do now (leave the captured Border members behind because it could result in some other loss. I can't remember it completely, but they made the audience seem very hyopcritcal, thus reclaiming power). This example also contributes to my thought that Mikumo has some side effect that allows him to do this. OR, this is all just his personality and his side effect is something else. Either way, I still think he's awesome and will become very powerful.
