Weaknesses: Possesses all general weaknesses possessed by Hybrids, once his transformation is undone Katana Man is unable to enter his Hybrid form again for a certain period of timeChainsaw Man Chapter 27, he also tends to let his guard down.
*Sword-Draw Dash: Katana Man's special technique, it is a quick-draw sword technique (also known as iajitsu) by crouching down low and preparing to unleash his swords, Katana Man can dash forward at incredible speeds and slash at his opponent as he goes by them, often appearing to simply teleport past them before his attacks appear on his opponent's body. Katana Man moves faster than the average human eye can see and he can use this technique multiple times in a row without any apparent drawback. While this attack tends to only affect a specific part of the enemy's body, it does so with significant force, severing limbs or cutting the opponent in half. However, Katana Man does not actually disappear when he uses this attack, meaning it is possible to blockChainsaw Man Chapter 24 or counterattackChainsaw Man Chapter 162 this move and wound him. If he gets injured while using this technique, the damage will take a few moments before it appears on his body, just like when he cuts someone with this attack.
