Abilities
His official threat level was never established, yet he showed a respectable measure of skill. When Atomic Samurai swept through a cluster of monsters, cleaving them halved, Sword Devil Executioner alone reacted quickly enough to parry the strike, the only one of the group to escape that first slash. His speed let him trade a handful of blows with the hero, though the exchange did nothing to help him.
Emboldened, he explained that killing Atomic Samurai would carry him toward his goal of supreme swordsmanship, then declared the two of them equals. The boast proved empty. Atomic Samurai had already reduced him to several pieces, and the monster who had dedicated his life to the sword died having barely inconvenienced his target.
