Akashi's eyes, which see the future, can cause this easily. This situation only occurs when the opponent's center of gravity is on their pivot leg while they're turning. Essentially, against Akashi's defense, the opponent is not even permitted to move.Īnkle Break: Akashi can perform the Ankle Break, a high-level speed dribble that disrupts his opponent's balance and makes them fall. Using his eyes, Akashi can see this moment and will move in to steal the ball. Any move a player makes will always start from that stance. It is the form that sets up all three motions: shooting, passing, and dribbling. Triple Threat Defense: Akashi's eyes can capture the moment the opponent goes into Triple Threat, the most basic form in basketball. Also, similar to the Hawk's Eye, Akashi's field of vision is very wide and covers his blind spots, allowing him to easily avoid a screen from Shinsuke Kimura. In short, he can 'see the future of his opponent's moves.'įield of Vision: Akashi has a amazing field of vision and can easily find openings in defenses, which allowed him to pass the ball through Kazunari Takao's guard. On the flip side, Akashi can also use this ability for his offense, reading the opponent's defense and acting faster than the opponent's body can react. With this, he is able to time his defensive actions perfectly to nullify the opponent's offensive ability, stopping whatever move the opponent is trying to perform. According to Murasakibara, his Emperor Eye can see the smallest details of a person's movements, including their breathing, heartbeat, sweat, muscle contractions, etc. It is also stated by Takao that Akashi's perfection as a point guard is undeniable.Īs revealed in the 3rd quarter of Rakuzan vs Shūtoku, Akashi's eyes are able to observe every movement of his opponent, thus predicting the opponent's next move. Akashi's plays are extremely well-designed, as it was revealed in the Rakuzan vs Shūtoku match that everything that had occurred was all a part of Akashi's plan. According to Masaaki Nakatani, the way Akashi played in the first quarter of Rakuzan vs Shūtoku is similar to how one would play shogi, with Akashi assessing the situation before he makes his move, indicating that Akashi is a skilled tactician. Akashi is shown to be very fast and an excellent ball-handler. At Rakuzan High, he became the captain of the basketball team, which Miyaji comments is highly unusual as upper-class students would not normally surrender their position to a first year and also the fact that the 3 Uncrowned Kings (who are known to be prideful individuals) follow his order without question.

Akashi possesses great leadership skills, as captain of the Teikō basketball team, he lead the team to consecutive victories and they would later be known as the Generation of Miracles.
