Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Parallel Electric Punch (並列エレキパンチ Heiretsu Ereki Panchi, Synced-Up Electric Punch in the English Versions): Brunch throws a punch that sends an electric charge in the air through multiple opponents, destroying every cell in their bodies thanks to its high voltage.
*Parallel Electric Chop (並列エレキチョップ Heiretsu Ereki Choppu): Brunch raises his hand and generates a parabolic bolt that rains down onto his opponent, crushing the ground in the process. This discharge is equivalent to that of a natural lightning strike.
*Lightning Kitchen Knife (稲妻包丁 Inazuma Bōchō): By producing a large, concentrated burst of electricity, Brunch can create and hold a large blade made out of it. Conjuring this weapon takes a large amount of Brunch's power and is enough to wipe out his batteries.
*Spiral Lightning Fine Cut (渦雷微塵切り Uzurai Mijin Giri): Using his Lightning Knife, Brunch makes one large, spinning cut that fries and tears apart an opponent at the cellular level. Thanks to his speed, the technique is also very hard to dodge, proving lethal to most targets. With this attack, Brunch was able to obliterate Elg's body, but the Gourmet Corp.'s regenerative and cloning powers saved him.
*Parallel Electric Cutter (並列エレキカッター Heiretsu Ereki Kattā): After making a Stepped Leader to lock on multiple targets with electrical current, Brunch discharges electricity in such a way that it burns the target like multiple blades. Beside inflicting damage through high voltage, the attack is also useful to draw out blood, which is an excellent conductor.
*Electric Knife (エレキナイフ Ereki Naifu): Brunch uses his hand as a blade to stab his opponent while it is electrically charged.
*Secret Technique: Series Great Electrification Attack (奥義:直列大帯電撃 Ōgi: Chokuretsu Daitai Dengeki): After absorbing a large amount of energy, Brunch converts it into electricity and channels it into a massive, pillar-like blast. The attack, while being incredibly powerful, also has a special effect of electrically charging its targets, meaning that even if they regenerate they will still be electrocuted in a seemingly endless loop.
