He possesses a high threshold of pain, as demonstrated against his battle with where his entire arm was cut-off by Suzie and Kyouko stabs him in the chest and he was still able to think straight enough to beat Ikaros, although Joash said he just got "high" off of the pain. Buckles is also very fast and has great reflexes that allow him react to attacks.
