As a B-rank agent, Tsutsumi should be more powerful individually than C-rank trainees. His specialty is concentrating his firepower with his captain's.[1] With little previous knowledge of Yūma Kuga's fighting style he was able to anticiapte some of his movements,[2] although he ultimately failed to land a single hit on him[3] or the Idraremotely controlled by Yomi.[4] The sharpness of his movements was also noted by Enedra to lag far behind that of the members of Kazama Squad.[5]
Tsutsumi has some familiarity with Border's technology apart from Triggers, since he has been tasked with operating the training room on a few occasions.[6][7][8]
Tsutsumi's main offensive Trigger is a shotgun loaded with Asteroid bullets. It boasts high firepower[9] and, due to the number of bullets fired at once, it is difficult to avoid at close range for all[10] but the swiftest foes.[11][12][4] However, it is not very accurate, and it has a low rate of fire. Tsutsumi can regulate the angle of the bullet spread[9] to focus damage or increase the area of damage, hitting multiple targets with a single pull of the trigger.[11] When no other Triggers are required and he can fight at close-to-mid-range, Tsutsumi may go in Full Attack.[3] Tsutsumi is first seen using Asteroid in Chapter 45 (Episode 22 in the anime).
Starmaker places a marker on the location hit by a bullet which remains detectable when the target uses Bagworm or Chameleon, but forces Tsutsumi to use only one shotgun to activate it.[13] Thanks to its wide bullet spread, his firearm is a particularly good match for this Trigger. Tsutsumi is first seen using Starmaker in Chapter 71 (Episode 32 in the anime.
↑ 9.09.1Daisuke Ashihara: It's a shotgun that blasts a bunch of largish bullets. You can adjust the angle of the blast to some extent. Pro: high firepower. Con: slow reload. Source: Question Corner 5, Volume 7
↑Daisuke Ashihara: Mostly as a countermeasure for stealth. Even a graze will let you mark that section, and as long as it’s not cut off then you can make Chameleon or Bagworm inoperative for a time. Its weaknesses are that it’s an all-purpose option so it can’t be used with Full Attack, and usually you defeat the enemy before they even get marked. Source: Question Corner 13, Volume 19
