Attack Potency: City Block level (Comparable to Himuro Ryo. Choked out Adam Dudley and Akoya Seishu and, according to Word of God, could even choke out Julius Reinhold. Confident he could take on Tokita Ohma and Wakatsuki Takeshi, and was able to break the former's bones) | City Block level+ (After the first two year time-skip, he'd improved his striking to the point he could knock out Johnny Waters, who is at least comparable to Okubo Naoya, in two hits. After the next two year time-skip, he was able to damage Yoroizuka Saw Paing with his strikes, and handily defeated Yurikawa Taiju who, though losing, gave a decent fight to Gaoh Ryuki)

Was able to dodge Long Min's attacks with Advance, even while severely injured, via foresight, and later managed to exhaust all of Ohma's stamina in his fight with him)
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None Notable
Intelligence: Genius in combat. Having trained in MMA, primarily Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Cosmo is repeatedly referred to as a genius, and is able to easily perform "Zone" mid-combat, a technique that Wakatsuki Takeshi admits he cannot replicate, believing that such an ability was something only Cosmo can do. After his fight with Akoya Seishu, Cosmo obtained Foresight – an ability unique to only the most experienced masters of combat – through pure instinct. At the start of Kengan Omega, two years after the end of Kengan Ashura, he'd improved his striking to where he was able to beat Johnny Waters, an MMA fighter ranked pound-for-pound above Okubo Naoya, in two hits. After the second two year time-skip in Kengan Omega, he'd further improved his striking by learning to focus on peoples' "trigger points". 
Weaknesses: Foresight is not an ability that can be used in any situation: when predicting a new move or combination, Cosmo's reflexes are drastically slowed.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Python Hold, Rear Naked Choke: Cosmo wraps his legs around his opponent's arms in such a way that they are pinned tightly to their torso, completely immobilizing his opponent, while also putting them in a rear naked choke hold. In this position, Cosmo strangles their neck with extreme force, putting pressure on their carotid artery and forcibly shutting down blood flow to the brain. As a result, it causes unconsciousness in around seven seconds.
*Triangle Choke: Cosmo is able to perform the triangle choke with enough constrictive power to knock out the likes of Adam Dudley and, by his own admission, Akoya Seishu.
*Foresight: After his match against Akoya Seishu, Cosmo began to develop the ability to predict his opponents' moves in a way similar to Kaneda Suekichi. However, Cosmo can only predict one or two moves ahead (in comparison to Kaneda being able to predict up to seven moves ahead). By combining this move prediction with his incredible reflexes and Zone, Cosmo is able to counter any moves that he has already seen before.
*Zone: A technique that is said to be only unique to Cosmo. This technique involves discerning the 0.1 second interval when the opponent is completely focused on their attack. Once the timing is discerned, Cosmo then proceeds to move into the opponent's blind spot and put them into a hold. This technique makes the opponent think that Cosmo has disappeared into thin air until he puts them into a hold.
