  • Jerkass: According to Naoki, his attitude is really "unpleasant" despite being indifferent to each other. He even attempts to use Ignis as a bargaining chip during his first on-screen act as Playmaker. At least he's not as sour as Kaiba.

    • Sense when Revolver's digital presence is nearby (while Yusaku is in the real world
    • Determine that Go isn't a real Knight of Hanoi

  • Sherlock Scan: In his Establishing Character Moment, he deduces Naoki's personality and skill level in dueling just by listening to him talk about duel disks and VRAINS.
