Nomura is a pacifist by nature, but his freedom-loving ideals as well as his cheeky attitude often finds himself rebelling against figures of power and authority. Ultimately, though, he’s a relatively laid-back guy with a cheerful demeanor. Nomura was originally a talented user of the Jigen-ryū school of Japanese swordsmanship; however, due to extremely harsh and rushed training enforced by his former master, his body was broken beyond repair, which made him incapable of picking up a sword ever again. Instead, he developed his capabilities in hand-to-hand combat, and eventually crafted a powerful technique known as “Madan” (Magic Bullet). This technique utilizes muscle control to focus his strength into the palm of his hand, allowing for a devastating palm strike akin to a shock-wave from any position he so chooses.
