Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Prep Genius: Hikyou Banchou's greatest weapon is his ability to gather intel and prepare for all kinds of disadvantageous situations. He has contacts with arms dealers in Europe and has been shown to handle all kinds of weapons starting with his whip, to Ayatori-wires, to throwing knives, landmines, grenades, bombs, poison, cell phone guns, even Gatling guns, and wrecking balls. He makes a strong point of never fully showing his cards so he always keeps an Ace in the Hole to defeat an opponent. Even if he claims that he will fight as cowardly as he must to win, he is by far the most reckless and gutsy Banchou of them all. He has contacts in highly guarded governmental and research institutions and can gather intel on other competing Banchou with absolute ease (keep in mind that this info is protected by the government). He resorts to bribing, blackmailing, food poisoning, torture, kidnapping, masterfully disguising himself, and all other kinds of trickery. One has to be extremely careful when battling that guy.
He comes prepared. |
- Grenade Gun Arm: Yuu's left arm is, in reality, a prosthetic which conceals a grenade gun, powerful enough to punch holes through tanks.
- Torture Whip: Hikyou's usual weapon. A titanium-spiked whip made from special wires.
- Dirty Rondo: Hikyou Banchou performs a series of overhead slashes with his whip.
- Dirty Execution: After wrapping his enemy he pulls hard causing the whip to slice his enemy's entire body
- Ayatori: Gloves with connected special alloy wires between each pair of fingers. Made from special wires that can casually cut titanium. Hikyou Banchou has mastered this complex art.
- Dirty Dice: Hikyou wraps his wires around an object or his opponent and pulls, slicing the entity of his target simultaneously.
- Dirty (Hikyou) Trick: Hikyou coats his Ayatori in a special chemical substance and puts them on fire. The substance makes the flames easily transferred when something touches it, and it's hard to put out. He then uses the surroundings (walls, trees etc. if available) and sets up his Ayatori around his opponent in a net of flaming wire.
