#### **Core Arsenal**

* **Hummingbird: Hummingbird** is a technique premised on Michael's ability to seemingly render his body as well as his sword effectively weightless, intangible, as well as negate the inertia of his own body and sword. By doing so, Michael has demonstrated the ability to utilize his sword to seemingly instantaneously accelerate to and propel himself at incredible speeds, appearing to the naked eye and even against other superhuman individuals to be paramount to teleportation, appearing to warp between locations to those with untrained eyes and cross incredible distances with extreme velocity through naught more than exceedingly simple movements with his blade. As a result, Michael has demonstrated the ability to efficiently close the distance be   tween himself and a target extremely effectively, demonstrating the ability to accelerate himself to great extents due to having no inertia and due to intangibility, no air resistance, truly appearing to be teleportation at this stage to most when he in fact is merely moving. To compliment this, Michael often renders himself imperceptible to the common senses.
	+ **Hummingbird: Second Step:**The second step of Hummingbird relies on Michael's ability to control how he interacts with the world around him, allowing him to stand on virtually any surface undeterred. As his selective tangibiltiy and weight dictate, Michael has demonstrated the ability to seemingly stand on air and water with the same ease as land. As a result, Michael can engage in sword skirmishes where his feet never touch the ground.
* **Pseudo-Nittoryu:**Through the work of exceptional swordhandling and extremely quick, minute handswapping of his blade, Michael has demonstrated a capacity to mimic the swordstyle of dual-wielding swordsmen with naught but a single katana, blocking and striking concurrently or even demonstrating the ability to create multiple antiparallel strikes in a single swift motion. Facilitated by Inertia negging. When combined with his own speed, reflexes and strength, Michael's own Single Blade Nittoryu is considered to be exceptionally powerful, capable of quickly overwhelming an opponent in close range should they manage to become his enemy.
* **Natural Rhythm:**By applying the concepts of Persona to his mind, and combining it with an external manifestation of Persona in the form of his selective tangibility, Michael has demonstrated the ability to see nothing but that which he intends to cut, and cut naught but which he intends to cut. As a result, Michael has demonstrated the ability to move with a single unified purpose of cutting down his target, his blade simply phasing through unnecessary substances or individuals being tangible only to his target.
	+ **Out of Phase:**By rendering his blade intangible and imperceptible to the world and back extremely rapidly, Michael has determined that with his blade he can distort the atmosphere around his blade to produce miniature shockwaves that flow around his katana, dramatically amplifying not only the force of a cut, but the impulse felt by an opposing swordsman or combatant from a clash. Thus, combined with the rapid acceleration allowed by Persona and his own intellect Michael has demonstrated the propogation of miniature sonic booms around his blade at his own discretion, granting his blade the ability to literally burst through its target if he so chooses.
* **Singularity:**Michael has demonstrated the ability to reinforce the effective impact behind his blade by making it selectively tangible and possess inertia only with respsect to what it has to cut
