Description
Shinnosuke Tsuji serves as a B-rank Attacker in Border, operating within Ninomiya Squad following a tenure on an A-rank squad. He possesses a tall stature, light skin, and a lean build, complemented by dark narrowed eyes, a straight nose, and short-to-medium jet-black hair. His standard combat attire is a black three-piece suit with the jacket unbuttoned, featuring a brown holster for his Kogetsu scabbard. Off-duty, he favors casual wear including light jackets, cardigans, shirts, and trousers.
Tsuji exhibits quiet composure, yet displays extreme timidity around females, becoming easily embarrassed and struggling with eye contact or conversation. Exceptions exist with Aki Hiyami and Mirai Hatohara. This shyness makes him guarded in school settings. In battle, he maintains a task-oriented focus, speaking sparingly. He readily acknowledges his own errors and offers praise to opponents when deserved, such as commending Hyuse's superior swordsmanship after a loss. His calmness under pressure enables effective assessment of unfavorable situations mid-combat.
His combat prowess reflects his A-rank background and current position in a top B-rank unit. Tsuji achieved Master Class proficiency with Kogetsu, wielding it primarily one-handed but switching to two-handed grips for specific techniques. Though not equal to elite swordsmen like Hyuse, Yūma Kuga, or Masato Kageura, he has engaged them briefly without injury. His true strength lies in support combat, recognized as one of Border's foremost support fighters. He leverages acute peripheral vision, reflexes, and situational awareness to intercept attacks targeting allies. He deploys Shield precisely, using focused barriers to deflect bullets like Takuma Yuba's or remote Shields to protect teammates, even employing environmental objects alongside Shields to mitigate sniper fire.
His Trigger loadout includes Kogetsu (melee), Senkū (extended-range slashes, often combined with Bagworm for stealth), Shield (defense), and Bagworm (radar concealment). He utilizes Senkū for diversions or multi-target strikes but has not demonstrated multiple slashes per activation. His combat parameters are: Trion: 6, Attack: 7, Defense/Support: 9, Mobility: 7, Skill: 8, Range: 2, Command: 5, Special Tactics: 2 (Total: 46).
Notable personal details include his fondness for dinosaurs—especially the Allosaurus—alongside marine reptiles like Elasmosaurus and Sarcosuchus. He also enjoys cream puffs and butter dorayaki. A canonical remark suggests his timidity would disadvantage him against female-majority squads like Kako or Nasu Squad.
Key quotes include cautioning a teammate, "If you keep messing around, you'll get shot," and remarking to Osamu Mikumo, "Impressive, Mikumo. Dining with three girls like it's nothing..."
