==Summary==
Jota is an adept that works for Sumeragi and wields the "Lightspeed" Septima. Being born into a famed military family, Jota joined the military as soon as he was able. The army he was in was on a mission of Adept suppression one day, but they were useless against them. The adepts were stopped by Nova and Sumeragi. Seeing how the army was useless due to the spread of Adepts, Jota joined Sumeragi, seeing them as the only way to protect his nation.

<tabber>
|-|Abilities=
*Adept Physiology: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Rage Power/Empowerment (Adepts can increase the output of their Septima through intense emotions, usually through anger), Extrasensory Perception (Adepts can detect the Septimal waves of other Adepts)
*Lightspeed: Light Manipulation (Normally used in the form of laser attacks and energy drills)
**Transformation and Intangibility (Capable of converting his flesh into photons), 
**Teleportation (Can move at light speed by turning his body into photons, although he is only able to do so in the form of teleportation)
**Afterimage Creation 
*Phosphoratorium: Darkness Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation and Existence Erasure ()
*Other: Flight, Summoning (of his Glaive), Master Swordsman, Vibration Manipulation (carries a high-frequency blade)
|-|Resistances=
Resistance to Life Manipulation (Powerful Adepts are able to resist the effects of Ferrous Fangs, which instantly kill all organic beings), Biological Manipulation and Limited Absorption (Should be capable of surviving Stratos's bugs), Limited Brainwashing (Since Septima is greatly influenced by an Adept's mental state, it is difficult to perform brainwashing without the power of the Muse on a rampaging Adept)
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Mountain level (Fought Gunvolt and base Gibril on separate occasions, who scale to this), can ignore conventional durability by setting the light in an area to "zero"
Speed: Relativistic+ travel speed with at least FTL+ combat speed, teleportation speed and reactions (Has stated that his light was faster than normal light, believing that despite the speed of light being fast, his attacks are even fasterAzure Striker Gunvolt; 2014; Jota's Mid-Boss Battle Dialogue. His Septima's name is "Lightspeed"Azure Striker Gunvolt Official Website, and its ability is to control photons, his Photon Guns allowing him to weaponize his lightJota's Dengeki profile. Considers Gunvolt "slow", was able to view Viper, who he noted as being at the speed of light, at least according to his mannerismsDrama CD: Justice Rage. Able to react to Gibril's bullets, which he also considered light speed Drama CD: 3DS Striker Pack. Is able to turn his body into photons to move at light speed, but he cannot think during this time so he has to have the destination in mind beforehandJota's Dengeki Profile. In Azure Striker Gunvolt 3, kept up with Kirin.)
Lifting Strength: Class M (Comparable to Gunvolt)
Striking Strength: Mountain level (Can physically damage Gunvolt with a punch, damaged a wall in one of the line stickers)
Durability: Mountain level (Can take hits from Gunvolt and Gibril)
Stamina: Above Average Human (Is easily able to fight for a considerable amount of time without tire)
Range: Extended melee range. Hundreds of Meters with projectiles .
Standard Equipment: His Glaive, Shadow Dragon. His Armed Phenomena has five photon guns. Normally carries a sword separate from his glaive, which is a high frequency blade
Intelligence: Above Average, though is normally blinded by his pride. Skilled in combat and was able to figure out what Gibril's Septima was almost instantly. Ex-Military
Standard Tactics: Jota prides himself on his speed, and has great pride in the country he serves, thus, he uses both to position his Photon Guns in intricate patterns to attack from all sides, or simply to intercept enemy projectiles with his own lasers. He uses his speed to appear and set up his attacks, and remove himself from the fight to let them play out, almost like guerrilla tactics. As the fight intensifies, he’ll incorporate attacks that don’t involve setting up his Photon Guns, rather using his speed to charge up his attacks safely by “teleporting” or simply to attack extremely quickly before disappearing out of screen once again.
Weaknesses: Jota is arrogant and prideful on a constant basis, especially about the speed of his own light. Nova Tsukuyomi is the only person he sees as being above him in power. May underestimate a younger foe initially. Cannot actively think when he converts his body into photons, and must pre-determine his movements when in that state. 
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Septima: Lightspeed=
Jota's Septima is known as Lightspeed, and much like how Gunvolt's Azure Striker can control electrons, Lightspeed can control photons. He can use this for many capabilities, but Jota's most notable strength is his speed. Much like Gunvolt's Prevasion, Jota can turn into photons to move at incredible speeds, surpassing light itself and is likely the fastest Adept in the world due to this fact.
|-|Notable Attacks=
Jota seems more reliant on the weaponized form he is given, utilizing his Septima to power them up to become more destructive, and the weapons in turn draw out his power's full potential.
*Luminous Rain: Jota places his photon guns in various places via his fast moving teleportation and has them all fire high speed, high power lasers, upon his enemy, tracking their targets. Jota has two variations of this, one where all of the guns fire at once, or fire one at a time in succession.

*Calamity Ripper: Jota fires off his photon guns, launching them into whatever direction he desires, typically to surround his opponent, then, utilizing his Septima, transforms the spiked guns into larger drill bits wrapped in presumably, light energy, and has them charge at his enemy.
*Flash Stinger: Deploying his photon guns behind him, much like in Calamity Ripper, he transforms them into deadly laser powered drills. Jota then dashes and thrusts his blade at his opposition at high speeds, with the drills closely following behind.
*Judgement Ray: He starts creating mirages of himself as the real one charges his photon guns. After the charging period, Jota fires the photon guns, creating an extremely powerful laser ray that is extraordinarily dangerous if not effectively dodge. Should an opposition charge into melee range, he teleports to find a different location to continue charging his attack. When he fires, he begins to wildly aim these lasers to cover a large area to be sure his opposition is hit.
|-|Skills=
Jota's most powerful attack is his singular skill, where his Septima transcends past just using lights and into the realm of altering quantum physics.
*Phosphoratorium: A deadly attack that consists of Jota altering a quantum mechanical theory to his desires. The theory states that only what is observed actually exists, that “light” is what’s shaping the world since that is what is seen by all living beings. Jota controls that “light” which shapes the world and, by snuffing it out into absolute darkness, he can tear the space itself. With a swing of his massive sword created from his photon guns, channeling such powerful energy, he unleashes a massive wave sure to destroy anything within its path. Jota charges up and thrusts at his enemy much like in Flash Stinger after this.

Note: While he is indeed arrogant, his military background, position in Sumeragi, and his battle intelligence is proof that he is not stupid, only prideful. Thus, his light-speed statements are out of his pride of truly achieving such speeds, not baselessly claiming he is of that speed.
Note 2: In Japanese, Jota has unique mannerisms that while shouldn't be taken literally, should still be taken into account when he states something. Whenever he says something is fast or slow, he typically refers to them as "light speed" for "fast" and "sound speed" for "slow". In some Drama CDs, where he compliments another's speed, in audio alone he only refers to them as "fast", but in script and in mannerisms from how he usually talks, he refers to them as "light" or "sound" speed. However, considering that he himself is prideful of his speeds- his Septima manipulating Photons, this is still likely an impressive feat.
Note 3: While some argue that there is a possibility that those who fight Jota can merely aimdodge his attacks, and thus should not scale. However, Gunvolt manages to dodge Copen's lasers based off of Jota's Septima multiple times without much time to react, unlike Jota's attacks. Jota manages to dodge Gibril's machine gun, something very hard to dodge even with proper aimdodging, fire at speeds he compliments as "fast" to him, as well as Viper's movements in general being at such speeds, meaning that regardless of the accuracy of if the aimdodging is true or not, the other characters are still relative to Jota and his attacks.
