Izumi is an exceptionally talented and powerful Shooter to the point he holds the position of No. 2 Shooter.[1] Masataka Ninomiya despite already being the No 1. Shooter[2], begged Izumi to mentor him to improve his technique.[3][2] Izumi is one of the few Shooters who can score points on his own in rank wars[citation needed]; nonetheless, he is considered one of Border's best supporters (along side Shinnosuke Tsuji, and Mitsuru Tokieda).[4][5] After fighting with Izumi, Hyrein, admiring his prowess, wished to capture him to make him one of his underlings.[6] His strength consists in a combination of great firepower, owed to his high level of trion, and the flexibility granted by his mastery over all types of bullets.[7] Izumi is also noted to be able to produce composite bullets, of which he is the inventor,[8] in a mere two seconds.[9] Another of his strong points is his adaptable way of thinking.[7] His innate perceptiveness allows him to see through the opponent's fighting style and to prepare countermeasures.[7] It also improves his ability as a coach.[7]
Triggers
Kōhei Izumi's Triggers |
---|
Current |
---|
Type Normal | Viper | |
---|---|---|
Shooter |
Izumi is one of the only three Border agents who creates new paths for Viper every time they use it, the other being the specialist Rei Nasu.[10] and rookie Hyuse.[11] He has used this skill to make his bullets fly complicated routes so as to prevent the opponent from figuring out where they will hit[12] and to attack without disclosing his location by altering their paths out of sight.[13] |
Type Normal | Hound | |
---|---|---|
Shooter |
Exploiting Hound's ability to home in on the target, Izumi can use it for pincer attacks with another Gunner Trigger, performing an inescapable multi-directional attack or striking from the target's blind spot. He was able to shoot down all the Alektor bullets that Hyrein aimed at him, a superhuman feat[7] that earned him his opponent's praise. |
Type Normal | Asteroid | |
---|---|---|
Shooter |
Izumi usually fights using Asteroid in Full Attack.[14][15][16] Thanks to his massive amount of Trion[17][7], he can choose hit probability through sheer numbers over accuracy[18] by splitting his trion cubes several times.[18] Additionally, Izumi can scatter his bullets[18] to improve the probability of him hitting someone. His firepower remains such that Ai Kitora was convinced her Shield would not be able to resist one of his barrages.[19] Izumi first uses Asteroid in Chapter 26 (Episode 14 in the Anime). |
Type Normal | Meteor | |
---|---|---|
Shooter |
Thanks to Izumi's abundant Trion, his Meteor is particularly powerful, being able to cause widespread destruction[20], depriving the enemy of hiding spots and clearing lines of fire for ally Snipers.[21] By scattering the bullets and firing each at a different angle, he can increase greatly the area of the ensuing explosions.[20] Izumi first uses Meteor in Chapter 30 (Episode 15 in the Anime). |
Type Normal | Tomahawk | |
---|---|---|
Shooter Composite |
Izumi is able to create Tomahawk in only 2 seconds.[9] By exploiting its ability to travel along preset routes, like Viper, Izumi can bombard the enemy without giving away his exact position by curving the trajectory of the bullets.[22] Thanks to the radius of the blasts, they can be effective in combat without direct lines of sight,[23] just by guessing the general location of the opponent.[24] He first used Tomahawk in Chapter 59 (Episode 27 in the anime). |
Type Normal | Gimlet | |
---|---|---|
Shooter Composite |
Izumi is able to create Gimlet in only 2 seconds to create Gimlet.[9] His Gimlet bullets are so powerful that the arm of a Rabbit couldn't deflect it,[25] which was capable of deflecting an Ibis blast from Azuma despite his above-average trion.[26] Izumi first used Gimlet in Chapter 68 (Episode 30 in the anime). |
Type Normal | Shield | |
---|---|---|
Defense |
Izumi can create the Shield at the precise area of attack. Thanks to his high Trion, it is very durable, withstanding for a short time the combined firepower of Arashiyama and Tokieda. He is able to use Full Guard strategically, pretending to be in Full Attack and luring a Sniper into shooting, causing them to reveal their position while being fully protected. With Full Guard, he can stop Chelidon's destructive beams.[27] |
Type Normal | Bagworm | |
---|---|---|
Optional |
An Optional Trigger that prevents the user's position from appearing on the Radar. |
Type Normal | Radar | |
---|---|---|
Standard |
A default Trigger that shows the position of any Trion body within range. Like Bail Out, it does not occupy a Trigger slot and is a standard piece of equipment of all Border agents. |

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Is Ninomiya the one who created composite bullets? Is it Izumi? Or an Engineer?
A: Izumi tried it out on some kind of impulse and it worked. That is why he is called "genius-like" and "bullet idiot".

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: Izumi synthesized a Tomahawk by combining a Viper and a Meteor. Can he do that because he's a genius or could Osamu do it too with practice?
A: It's possible to do it with practice, but it would take some time. If Osamu tried to shoot a Tomahawk now, it would take him a whole minute to prepare. It only takes Izumi two seconds.
