Powers & Abilities
Silver Skin Reverse
Metal Jacket Shield: When attacked, the surface of the jacket instantly changes into metal, composed of small hexagonal tiles; it is known to possess the strongest defense power of all known Buso Renkin, and because of it, he uses hand-to-hand combat to complement his fighting. Not only does it completely block physical attacks, it is resistant against ABC (Atomic, Biological, and Chemical) weaponry, it can even block the energy drain of a Black Kakugane user. If Bravo wears both the original Silver Skin and the Alternate Type, it drastically increases his defenses.
Silver Skin Regeneration: The Silver Skin automatically regenerates any damage it has sustained from attacks by reforming itself using the hexagonal tiles.
Silver Skin: Alternate Type Reverse: This is essentially the same as the Silver Skin Reverse. However Bravo prefers to use this technique as he can use Another Type to trap opponents and keep wearing the original Silver Skin to keep himself defended.
- Double Straight: An enhanced version of the Silver Skin reverse where he uses both Silver Skins to create an even more powerful trap for much stronger opponents or to protect multiple people at once.
Silver Skin Reverse Net
- Reverse Net: He can create a huge spherical net formed by the hexagonal tiles to trap multiple opponents and can constrict the net to squash the trapped opponents together as seen when he uses this technique to defeat all of Moonface's clones at once. He chooses to use this technique using the Alternate Type to keep himself defended using the original Silver Skin.
Weaknesses
- The jacket has no offensive capabilities at all, however Bravo overcomes this by training his body to be the ultimate fighting machine, the metal jacket does also add some more force to his punches.
- In order to trap an opponent with the Silver Skin Reverse it must be launched at them, but can not be precisely controlled, once fired it is more directed than a bullet from a gun and can be intercepted or evaded. Also if he uses this technique using both forms of the Silver Skin, they will no longer cover himself, leaving him vulnerable.
Trivia
- Nobuhiro Watsuki modeled the Alternate Type on a navy uniform from the Age of Discovery.
