Tomoe, Takeshi

巴武士

Takeshi Tomoe stands out as the most improbable hero among all the ARMS subjects. He is intelligent, slender, sensitive, solitary, and timid, fitting the classic profile of a high school bullying victim. Takeshi faced constant torment at school, which triggered the initial activation of his ARMS. Following this, he became even more withdrawn, harboring genuine disgust for his own body and cowardice. After meeting Ryo and the other ARMS users, Takeshi finally understood he was not alone. He also came to realize that his family and friends were what truly mattered to him, and that he needed to fight to protect them. Consequently, Takeshi transformed into a brave, loyal, and powerful team member. After sustaining crippling injuries inflicted by Kou Karunagi, Takeshi and the White Rabbit entered a dormant, cocoon-like state. During this time, while the rest of the team fought in Carillon Tower, he communicated with Alice. However, when Ryo and the Jabberwock merged with Black Alice, White Alice presented Takeshi with a choice of various weapons, each offering more power than any earthly armament. Takeshi refused this power; instead, he took White Alice out of her isolation in Carillon Tower. Using their combined strength, they attacked and merged with the Jabberwock, enabling White Alice to directly confront her evil counterpart.
Takeshi's ARMS is named White Rabbit and is concentrated in his legs. This allows Takeshi to run and jump at incredible speeds, execute seemingly impossible midair maneuvers, and fly up to several hundred feet. He is also capable of performing astoundingly fast kickboxing powerful enough to shatter concrete, as well as high-speed acrobatic maneuvers. To illustrate his speed, he managed to weave in and out of the spinning blades of two helicopters, moving and attacking so rapidly that even the Red Caps, who used their telepathic abilities to anticipate his actions, could not keep up. The White Rabbit's nano-machines enable Takeshi to heal injuries much faster than a normal human. The ultimate form of White Rabbit is a winged humanoid capable of flying faster than the speed of sound. Like the Knight, White Rabbit is also prepared to destroy the Jabberwock if it gets completely out of control.
