Kuniharu Kakizaki/Abilities

As an All-Rounder, Kakizaki has scored at least 6.000 points with an Attacker Trigger and a Gunner Trigger. As such, he should be individually more powerful than C-rank trainees and some B-rank agents. His Triggers enable him to fight effectively at both close and mid-range, although not at the same time. His preferred weapon seems to be his assault rifle, which allows him to engage the opponent from afar and easily coordinate with his teammates. Despite being severely outmatched by Yūma, Kakizaki managed to injure him gravely by attempting a mutual kill when Yūma landed a fatal blow. On that occasion Kakizaki displayed good enough reactions to dodge a thrust from Yūma and a modicum of skill at hand-to-hand combat to trap his arm with his own mutilated one.



Kakizaki's leadership, strategic skills and unwitting charisma have earned him the complete trust of his teammates, even as he second-guesses himself. In battle, however, he does not let his lack of confidence make him hesitate. In fact, he can assess the situation very quickly and issue directions to his teammates promptly, now wasting an instant even when the conditions change suddenly. According to Mitsuru Tokieda, Kakizaki's only weakness is that he always tries to shoulder all the responsibility by himself and not expose his teammates to risks, causing them to miss certain opportunities. While the three-man formation he designed is known to be reliable and solid, he is found by many to be too reticent to break it up when needed, to the point that prior to its match against Tamakoma Second, Kakizaki Unit had no two-to-one formations. Against the widespread oversimplification that Kakizaki's flaw is that he is too careful, however, Tokieda objected that there is no such thing, and that Kakizaki Unit was, to the best of his knowledge, the only B-rank unit involved in the conflict against Aftokrator's invasion that survived it without any of its members bailing out.
