Equipment and Skills
Tatsumi wields a short sword and initially does not possess a Teigu. His skills in battle are recognized first by Leone and later by the rest of Night Raid, who serve as his mentors.

He has demonstrated the ability to easily cleave foes in two, shown when he slain Aria to avenge his tortured friends.

Tatsumi was able to make Incursio further evolve to match his movements. Following Braht's death, Tatsumi trains himself even further in order to fully master the Teigu that Braht entrusted to him. Tatsumi is now capable of utilizing Incursio's auxiliary armament, Neuntote, along with being able to use its invisibility for extended periods of time.

He is also a good learner, due to his honest nature. He makes sure to absorb the advice that his more experienced comrades give to him. This trait surprises Chelsea when she tricks him using her Teigu, Gaea Foundation, into thinking she was Susanoo. Rather than being embarassed or angry at being tricked, Tatsumi honestly reflects on the weaknesses of Incursio's invisibility, causing Chelsea to state that he is "pretty wise." He reminds himself of Braht's teachings, such as controlling one's own emotions and being fully aware of one's surroundings, whenever he finds himself in a pinch. This has led to his success at escaping from and blending in with the Jaegers.

He also possesses a sixth sence about a persons killing intent. He was awaken by this then The Night Raid first came.
