Powers and abilities

  • Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • Passive Pseudo/Limited Invisibility and Camouflage (Even though Haruichi comes from a distinguished family, his presence is said to be extremely thin, to the point where the toilet flushes itself even if he is still using it and automatic doors don't react to him. It can intensify to the point that his real existence begins to fade. More examples of Haruichi’s ability, which he can even use to his advantage)
  • Explosion Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement and Danmaku (Via AW-0027; this bow comes with a bundle of arrows that can produce large explosions as well as possessing the properties of a toxinizer. Even if the explosions do not cause any damage to a target, they are still capable of paralyzing a target as large as the Third Wave in its tracks, despite the Third Wave being inorganic creatures that possesses no nervous system. A single arrow from AW-0027 is shown as capable of splitting up to ten projectiles to rain down on the opponent)
  • Statistics Amplification
  • Enhanced Senses
  • Forcefield Creation
  • Information Analysis
  • Holographic Projection
  • Damage Reduction
  • Self-Healing
  • Surface Scaling
  • Awakened Power
  • Likely Body Puppetry
  • Afterimage Creation
  • Non-Standard Breathing (Type 2; All officers wear half-face elastomeric air-purifying respirators and full-face gas masks that not protect officers from kaiju's bodily fluid and gasses, but helps with their breathing in combat)
  • Explosion Manipulation via Grenades
  • Flash-Freezing via Freeze Grenades
  • Light Manipulation, Sound Manipulation and Status Effect Inducement (Via stun grenades)
  • Elemental Manipulation (Can load various Kaiju-enhanced rounds that enhance his shots with elemental properties - these include Explosive, Ice, Electricity and Light Manipulation)
  • Damage Boost (Through a burst of emotion, a Defense Force officer can boost the elemental potency of their rounds. Kaiju No. 9, a Daikaiju superior to Reno Ichikawa, chooses to use body shields to block Reno's enhanced freeze rounds instead of directly withstanding them, despite having previously resisted Reno's freeze rounds)
  • Heat Manipulation via Burst Rounds
  • Flash-Freezing, Limited Durability Negation and Statistics Reduction via Freeze Rounds
  • Paralysis Inducement via Conductor Rounds
  • Minor Light Manipulation (Defense Force Pistols are equipped with a tactical light that can be used to temporarily blind and disorient targets)
  • Damage Boost (To combat a more powerful foe, the Defense Force's marksman weaponry have the capacity to boost their piercing power)
  • Energy Emission (When unleashing the combat power of their equipment, it emits electrical-like energy that can not only destroy the officer's surroundings but can also hurt and paralyze those who come into contact with it. Even after utilizing their equipment's combat power, officers have the capability to emit this electrical-like energy from their attacks)
  • Danmaku (The Defense Force rifle-type weapons have enough ammo to maintain fire for a long time, so they qualify for this ability)
  • Martial Arts, Weapon Mastery, and Marksmanship (All Japanese Defense Force officers, especially the newer generation, are trained in a variety of different martial arts, such as boxing, archery, judo, kendo, hōjutsu, bōjutsu, karate, etc… In the current era, the Defense Force had long since shifted its focus to firearms because, unlike the days of close-quarters combat, they allow attacks from a safe distance, have resulted in fewer mission casualties, and provide the ability to eliminate a variety of kaiju using the appropriate ammunition in the appropriate situation.. As a Japaneses Defense Force officer unleashes more of their suit's combat power, their ability to intuitively feel from the instant they fire, or from the recoil, whether their shots will successfully hit a target will increase, allowing them to fluidly engage other targets without needing to waste time or movement)
  • Acrobatics (All Japanese Defense Force officers are shown to be extremely agile to the point of avoiding point-blank attacks without the other person noticing, able to perform parkour, leap across cars and buildings even with the addition of heavy equipment under enemy's fire, accelerate without any issues and make sharp turns without slowing down, flips that extend over tens of meters, and recover their balance. Even when surrounded by attacks from many directions, their agility allows officers to avoid them. Additionally, Defense Force officers has shown multiple times to launch themselves great distances into the air and land perfectly fine without any injuries. They do not suffer any negative effects by moving in destroyed environments. Even Kafka, the weakest officer of the Third Division, could clear the 3rd Unit Valentine Tournament without a Defense Force Suit, which involves competitors holding heart-shaped objects that are as heavy as a 27-year-old adult woman while clearing various obstacles, such as crossing a wobbly suspension bridge while being shot at by bullets, walking past an acupressure field, jumping in through a ring of fire, and many more trials)
  • Stealth Mastery (Officers are shown to be willing to use their surroundings, hide their movements, and ambush their opponents by employing methods such as using objects as cover and smokescreens generated by an attack)
  • Accelerated Development (Training, Battle; Physical Statistics, Abilities. Defense Force officers with the potential or ability to scale the wall that people hit with unleash combat powers at 20-30% are able to grow far faster than a BoS Iharu that he can't keep up and are comparable to Reno during the Sagamihara Operation, the former with a mind capable of absorbing everything he studies and making remarkable gains in strength every time he trains to the point he felt invincible and his potential seemed limitless, and the latter with the ability to grow at such a rate mid-battle that people stronger than him are unable to keep up with him and were quickly surpassed)
  • Information Analysis and Analytical Prediction (Inexperienced fighters like as Iharu Furuhashi and Human Kafka Hibino, the latter of whom is known to have talents that do not fulfill the standards required to become an officer, have been demonstrated to be able to anticipate Daikaiju-level threats, such as Kaiju No. 9’s projectiles, which are unperceivable even to other Kaiju, after experiencing them more than once. This is in spite of the fact that, in the case of Iharu, the projectile had already been shot before he attempted to foresee it, and in the case of Kafka, he could predict a Kaiju No. 9 that evolved to the point that its actions are known to be unpredictable, to the point where Kikoru is unable to predict it through tells anymore. Through using five of their senses, Defense Force Suit users can predict a target's movement)
  • Acid Manipulation (Wearers of the Defense Force Suit are protected from the highly corrosive acids within a kaiju's organs that can melt through protective clothing and human skin. Furthermore, it has the ability to shield welders from the saliva of a kaiju of the lizard variety, which is of a highly acidic nature since it can melt bodies down to their bones as well as iron)
  • High and Low Temperatures (Defense Force Suits protect wearers from temperatures near or below freezing, allowing them to withstand the passive freezing cold energy of Kaiju No. 6/Numbers Weapon 6. Additionally, the suits can protect wearers from high temperatures, such as super-high temperature steam, which requires temperatures above 213 degrees Fahrenheit)

Weaknesses

Overheating can be caused by the abuse or prolonged use of the power of the combat suit, which can weaken the wearer as their Unleashed Combat Power drops and induce physical agony to the point where they bleed.

Ranked #19 of 28 in Kaiju No. 8 by strength.
