Tsukihiko Amo Age: 16 (High school student) Birthday: December 3rd Height: 165cm Zodiac: Cetus Blood Type: A Likes: Water, hamburgers, chocolate, fighting strong opponents Affiliation: Border Headquarters Rank: S-Class Agent Title: All-Rounder Trigger: Black Trigger (Name unknown), Border Normal Trigger Side Effect: Can see the strength of targets as colors. ≪Personality etc.≫ A boy with a downer vibe who speaks in a listless manner. He has messy black hair and wears a hoodie. An S-class agent who possesses a Black Trigger. The Black Trigger he owns was left behind by former Border member Tetsuya Umezaki. His pure combat ability reportedly surpasses even Yuichi Jin when Jin is equipped with Fūjin. Now that Jin has relinquished Fūjin and become an A-class agent, Amo is Border's only S-class agent. He is likely the strongest individual combatant within Border. According to Karasawa, he has "various behavioral issues," but so far, no combat has been depicted, and he has only shown a calm side. Rather, during the large-scale invasion by Aftokrator and the battle with Galopoula, he performed his assigned duties properly, even if he appeared to find them bothersome. During the large-scale invasion, he mentioned that weaklings didn't motivate him, so he might show a different side against strong opponents. The details of his Trigger are unknown, but his fighting style is said to be somewhat inhuman; in a volume 4 illustration, his silhouette during combat is not human-shaped. In the large-scale invasion, he annihilated Trion soldiers along with the buildings in the warning zone, leaving the area a wasteland, suggesting he is a wide-area annihilation type. The cleared land was left with multiple craters, as if meteors had fallen. According to Utagawa, he is a power type. Because his way of fighting could lead to a negative image for Border, Netsuki, the PR director, takes a cautious stance on his deployment. It is apparently very bad for citizens to see him fight. Even Netsuki admitted during the large-scale invasion that "he's reliable at times like this." The Border Briefing File (BBF) lists his parameters when using a Normal Trigger, suggesting he has A-class level skill even without his Black Trigger. His position is All-Rounder. His parameters when using a Black Trigger are listed as "Secret" in the BBF and have not been revealed. He joined about three years ago, but the circumstances of his recruitment and when he became an S-class agent are unknown. His family structure is also unknown. He was first mentioned in volume 4, but while his existence was revealed then, he did not appear in person. Commander Kido, who took a stance of total resistance against the allied Tamakoma and Oshida factions, tried to deploy him in the Black Trigger capture arc, which angered Director Oshida, but the conflict ended thanks to Jin, so he did not actually participate in the fight. In the large-scale invasion, he handled the northwestern region of the base alone and later took over the western district from Jin, annihilating every single approaching Trion soldier (including three Rabbits, a new type of Trion soldier). Although the district he handled was turned into a wasteland, he was awarded a Special First-Class Merit for keeping human casualties at zero over a wide area. In the battle against Galopoula, he supported the agents by utilizing his Side Effect. During the Away Mission Test, he was not an examiner but watched the footage of the temporary units in the monitor room with the A-class agents. He and Rokuro Wakamura attend the same high school, with Wakamura being one year his senior, but during this test, he made harsh comments like "He's flinching" and "His basics are completely lacking." The fact that he only commented on Wakamura among the temporary units hints at a relationship beyond just being schoolmates. ≪Tsukihiko Amo's Side Effect≫ It relates to color, but the details are unknown. It is depicted as being able to see the strength of a target as a color. During the large-scale invasion by Aftokrator, he described the swarm of Trion soldiers as "weaklings with boring colors." From this line, many readers predicted he had a Side Effect, which was confirmed in volume 14. In the Galopoula battle, Azuma suggested using Amo's Side Effect in the strategy meeting, and Amo monitored the enemies on the battlefield via screens in the HQ command room. During this battle, he saw through the enemy's strength one after another: - Idra Trion soldiers: "Color-wise, they're like lower B-class. But the color changes a bit when they group up." - Idras disguised by Galopoula soldiers: "Those with different colors." - Dogu Trion soldiers: "Colors that feel like they're mainly for distraction." - Galopoula soldiers who infiltrated HQ: "Good colors, A-class or higher." - Gatlin: "In terms of color coding, he's similar to Mr. Shinoda." - Idras controlled by Yomi: "The colors of those two are the same." He can grasp not only simple combat power but also changes in strength due to group coordination. From the depictions at this time, it is inferred that this ability is effective even through camera footage without seeing the actual targets in person.
