Trained by Etsuko Satoda; a retired assassin famous for her martial arts. Was able to accurately block a speeding bullet with a cough drop. Blocked an attack from an opponent wearing an invisibility suit)
  • Weapon Mastery, and Weapon Creation, and Explosion Manipulation (Expert in using assassination weapons such as guns, bombs and blades and been an expert marksman since as early as 14. Aoko stated Sakamoto can use anything in site as a weapon including food, utensils, everyday objects and appliances as weapons, and uses his surroundings or whatever is on hand)
  • Vehicular Mastery (Displayed skillful motorcycle driving skills)
  • Social Influencing (Charisma - Sakamoto was popular amongst the female students as he would frequently get boatloads of Valentine's gifts and chocolates in droves)
  • Accelerated Development (Battle - Stated he was getting used to Kindaka's speed when he couldnt react to him before)
  • Adaptation (Can adapt 100 meters underwater and fought off multiple sharks 100 meters undersea as part of his training and developed better lung capacity)
  • Stealth Mastery (Able to sneak through a building and take out a few people without them noticing)
  • Photographic Memory (While he did not recognize Boiled initially, he remembered the exact composition of his bombs with one look at his paper years ago)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Blocks an invisible punch inches away from him and grabs the assassin before they can react)
  • Smoke Manipulation (With smoke bombs)

  • Electricity Manipulation (With taser)
  • Social Influencing
  • Reputation: - Up until his retirement Sakamoto was widely feared as the strongest assassin in history.
  • Aura (Overwhelming - His very presence is stated to be like a "powerful weapon". Fear Inducing - Just from his Skinny form appearing Boiled felt a sense of "foreboding" and was frozen in place unable to move)
  • Body Control and Statistics Amplification (Can burn calories quick enough to revert back to his skinny form while in combat. Immediately regains his fat form after eating overnight. Accumulated damage can also trigger the transformation. Sakamoto couldnt land any hits on Boil in his fat form but after burning calories, his is punch is too fast for Boiled. Immediately regains his fat form after eating overnight)
  • Limited Explosion Manipulation (Used Boiled's bombs to enhance his AP)
  • Limited Illusion Inducement (Caused Boiled to hallucinate his brutal death when confronted by Skinny Sakamoto)
  • Regeneration (Low - When transforming into his fit form, he looked like he healed his initial injuries caused by Boiled)
  • Preparation (Has a secret stash of weapons and equipment. Equipped Shin's gun and his store's nametags with trackers. His store is laced with booby traps)
  • Damage Reduction (His apron is shown to be able to defend people from an explosion)
  • Telepathy (Shin cannot read his thoughts likely when Sakamoto empties his mind)
  • Extreme Temperatures (Completely relaxed in a flaming sauna with temperatures enough to cause spontaneous combustion, also considers a cold bath at 1 Celsius tepid)
  • Poison Manipulation (Resisted Kobayashi's poison and choked him to unconsciousness)
  • Explosion Manipulation (Can resist Boiled's bombs and use them to enhance his AP)

Weaknesses

Won't kill due to personal vow, prioritizes family safety over mission success, slower and less agile in overweight form, emotionally affected by his violent past, avoids lethal force even against deadly enemies, vulnerable to manipulation through loved ones

Ranked #4 of 11 in Sakamoto Days by strength.
