Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Fighting Spirit (気合い, Kiai): Metal Bat is capable of getting stronger through his damage intake and anger buildup. This is because of his will to continue to fight regardless of what happens. Instead of succumbing to the damage he receives, Metal Bat gets an increase in his physical attributes. This ability is mainly shown during his fight with Garou wherein he gets tougher, faster, and a lot more durable as the conflict drags on. However, his Fighting Spirit lowers extremely fast when he is out of battle and exhaustion can quickly set in. Even while in battle, it is still possible for Metal Bat's Fighting Spirit to reach a limit, as he was unable to continue fighting after having been pummeled by Sage Centipede.
Killin' Moves (必殺, Hissatsu; Viz: Killer Move): Among his array of moves, he also has ones made and used to finish off his opponents.
- Dragon Thrashing (怒羅厳シバき, Do Ra Gon Shibaki; Viz: Dragon Pummelin'): Metal Bat unleashes a barrage of smacks with his bat at the same spot at multiple angles. This attack was first seen used against Elder Centipede. The attack was powerful enough to cause Elder Centipede to shout in pain.
- Savage Tornado (野蛮トルネード, Yaban Torunēdo; Viz: Brutal Tornado): Metal Bat wildly spins with his trademark weapon strong enough to create a small tornado. The attack is powerful enough to cause slight damage to Garou even when the latter was repelling the strikes. In their battle, Garou commented that had the bat managed to hit him even a single time, it would have been the end for him.
- Spiral of Overwhelming Victory (仏恥義理スパイラル, Bucchigiri Supairaru; Viz: Overkill Spiral): Metal Bat spins himself vertically with enough speed and strength to create a spiral. This attack was powerful enough to sever Sage Centipede's antennas.
- Savage Hurricane (野蛮ハリケーン, Yaban Harikēn; Viz: Brutal Hurricane): A more powerful version of Savage Tornado. Metal Bat first employs this technique against Sage Centipede. When used in tandem with Garou's Cross Fang Dragon Slayer Fist, he could counter the centipede creature's 6666 Leg Grand Drill, a powerful attack that resembles a drill, and even break its durable exoskeleton.
