Hatsu/Abilities and Powers

Part 1
Expert Swordsman: Hatsu is a very good swordsman, wielding his swords fast and precisely. He is well trained, is strong physically and can easily best multiple Regulars in a swordfight. He was even able to hold off Quant Blitz for a short time, according to whom, Hatsu's nitōryū (이도류, idoryu) skills are remarkable. His training also gave him an almost exceptionally powerful grip, such that he may grasp whatever he chooses without fear of losing his hold over it. His grip has proven capable of even restricting the movements of a Ranker.


 * Sword That Flies Higher Than Any (누구보다 곺이 나는 감, nuguboda gop'i na'neun gam): This sword has a blue hilt with a red tassel on it. When Hatsu throws it into the air, it will move on its own, attacking and blocking for Hatsu in midair.


 * Sword That Flies Lower Than Any (누구보다 낮게 나는 감, nuguboda najge na'neun gam): This sword has a red hilt with a blue tassel. This sword can emit a small but potent blast wave when Hatsu swings it hard.


 * Shinsoo Detection: Hatsu can detect the Shinsoo of others at a long range.


 * Demonic Fish Wheel Dance: Single Annihilation (귀어윤무: 일섬, gwi'eo'yoonmoo: ilseom): A technique of one-handed vertical slash powerful enough to make a threat even for a Ranker if not Shinsoo-protected. He used it against Quant during the "Hide and Seek" game.

Part 2
Expert Swordsman: In Part 2, his fighting style is similar to his initial one. But instead, he now wields one sword (ittōryū) instead of two. His swing is much more powerful and his control over shinsoo has improved. He is capable of wielding a metal pipe as if it were a sword and still fight with a high level of skill.


 * Demonic Fish Wheel Dance: Single Annihilation (귀어윤무: 일섬, gwi'eo'yoonmoo: ilseom): An improved version of the technique he used in Part I. Now it creates a gust of Shinsoo cutting the enemy and is even capable of damaging Cassano, a living Ignition Weapon. However, the nature of the attack is still the same, according to Hatsu himself: "Nothing changed. I just doubled the amount of exercise". (달라진 건 없다. 연습량을 두 배로 늘렸을 뿐이다, dallajin geon eobs'da. yeonseublyang'eul du baelo neul'lyeoss'eul ppun'ida.)


 * Demonic Fish Wheel Dance: White Wave Devil-Tearing Single Slash Annihilation (귀어윤무: 백파 마열 일자섬, gwi'eo'yoonmoo: baekpa ma'yeol ilja'seom): Hatsu boosts and charges his weapon with Shinsoo and gives a quick, powerful thrust that has extremely strong piercing qualities. It also affects a considerable area, as when this technique was used against Varagarv it was capable of completely dissipating the "dogs" which were surrounding Varagarv.
