Taichi Betsuyaku is a capable Sniper. During training he ranked 13^th at least once, while practicing stealth and target acquisition, which speaks for a certain degree of skill at hiding. His role in the team is generally to support the ace. When separated from him, Betsuyaku joins forces with his captain and fights at mid-range, a strategy that seems to be unique to Suzunari First. The two have come up with multiple offensive and defensive collaborative tactics. When on his own, he is prone to getting carried away and getting reckless. Nonetheless, he can be surprisingly observant, noticing that Rei Nasu's Viper bullets were slower than usual. His unique way of thinking is an important asset to his team, which he demonstrated when he came up with a strategy to blind their opponents by turning on and off the lights in a mall at night, a plan that was reputed to be both unpredictable and extremely effective by the commentators. Like Murakami, Betsuyaku will prioritize Kuruma's survival over his own even if it goes against the interests of the team.

Triggers

Taichi Betsuyaku's Triggers

Current

Type Normal	Egret
Classification Sniper	Taichi's rifle of choice for long-range sniping. With it, he was able to place 13th in the stealth and target acquisition training. He first uses it in Chapter 49 (Episode 24 in the anime).

Type Normal	Lightning
Classification Sniper	Taichi activates Lightning to fight alongside Tatsuya Kuruma at mid-range like a Gunner, exploiting its high rate of fire. He first uses it in Chapter 100 (Episode 46 in the anime).

Type Normal	Ibis
Classification Sniper	Taichi uses Ibis to break through defenses that are too durable to be penetrated by Egret, such as the Idras' combined shields. He first uses it in Chapter 124.

Type Normal	Bagworm
Classification Optional	Border's Optional Trigger that renders the user invisible to Radar while active. Taichi first uses it in Chapter 49 (Episode 24 in the anime).

Type Normal	Shield
Classification Defense	Border's default Defense Trigger that enables the user to create barrier that can block opponent's attacks. By combining his Shield with his captain's, the two can protect themselves from all directions without making their defense too thin. He can also cast it in its hexagonal shape to defend himself while fighting at Gunner range. Taichi first uses it in Chapter 100 (Episode 46 in the anime).

Temporary

Type Normal

Escudo

Classification Defense

Taichi equipped this Defense Trigger as part of his strategy to turn on and off the lights in Round 7; it should be noted that he might have kept Escudo since he last fought. By summoning one barrier from the ground and one from the ceiling, he protected both himself and the fusebox from attacks as powerful as an Ibis shot from Ema despite Taichi's decent Trion (for his age). Taichi first uses it in Chapter 169 (Episode 89 in the anime).
