Ryō Utagawa is considered to be a highly skilled Attacker — specialized, like the rest of his team, in short, coordinated attacks and stealth combat. His squad being one of the few deemed capable of defeating a Black Trigger is further proof of his strength. However, he was easily injured by Jin using a sealed Fujin. He is actually an All-Rounder by Border's standard, but he has not used his Shooter skillset yet. His eye for the strength and weaknesses of enemies allowed him to identify a Rabbit's radar.[1] He is also said to possess excellent athletic abilities, which in part caused him to be scouted by Usami.[2]
Utagawa is a skilled Scorpion user. The model used by his unit is slightly different from the standard, as it has a hollowed blade and stretches reach, being even more offense-oriented. As a speed-type Attacker, he generally dual-wields it for brief, fast-paced assaults, especially in conjunction with Chameleon, but can also fight with a single one. He is capable of changing its shape, turning it into a weapon with two shorter, curved blades.
Utagawa uses it to become invisible and approach the target unseen, switching then to the Scorpion to execute a surprise attack. However, if his location is correctly inferred, he is forced to become visible in order to activate another Trigger and defend himself. In various places on his uniform are devices that reduce the Chameleon's trion consumption.[3]
