Summary
Once an idealistic country bumpkin with dreams of making it big by working for the Empire, Tatsumi is the newest member of Night Raid, the Revolutionary Army's assassination team, after witnessing the depravity the Empire inflicts upon its citizens first-hand. Although he is a skilled swordsman, he was still treated as a mere novice for much of his career, but later becomes one of the team's most powerful and reliable members.

Attack Potency: Large Building level (Easily defeated an Earth Dragon by himself) | Town level (Stated that the armor forcibly increases his strength. Could one shot and kill Call of the Fierce God Nyau[19].

Stamina: Unknown, can fight even after obtaining severe and life-threatening injuries. Incursio allows him to fight even more as his physical prowess and stamina are increased during use.
Range: Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range with weaponry, Several Meters with Shockwaves. As Tyrant, he can reach tens of meters with both physical blows (due to size) and fire breath.
Standard Equipment: Demon Armor: Incursio, his armor-type Teigu (Has the appearance of a short sword in its sealed form) and Neuntote (Only used when Incursio is released)
Intelligence: Gifted (While initially a greenhorn, Tatsumi is an extremely talented swordsman who was able to dispatch large Danger Beasts with ease long before he joined Night Raid. His skills rapidly blossomed with the help of his fellow assassins, quickly becoming one of its strongest members and going toe-to-toe with experienced killers like the Jaegers and eventually Esdeath herself, who regularly praises him for his growth and potential. As an assassin, he has mastered the arts of infiltration and silent killing and is shown to be pragmatic enough to collapse entire buildings if it means bringing down his target. However, he does all he can for the sake of the people, and thus will try to avoid harming innocents if at all possible, and was naive enough to believe that he could sway Esdeath over to the Revolutionary Army's side for a time.)
Weaknesses: None notable | Can only maintain invisibility for a few seconds before tiring out, using Incursio takes a lot out of him | Invisibility has a limited duration, forcing the armor to evolve and using it extensively afterward will lead eventually cause Incursio to consume him.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Demon Armor: Incursio (悪鬼纏身 インクルシオ Akki Tenshin: Inkurushio) Is an Armor-type Teigu that takes the form of a short sword with a chain link tassel in its sealed form. Once released, the user is enveloped in full body armor. Can turn the user who enveloped by the armor invisible for a certain amount of time, dependent on the skill of the user. The armor also enhances the user's physical prowess and is shown to be sentient in the manga. In addition, Incursio evolves every time it's passed onto another person to suit that person's fighting style, though it is possible for the wielder to force the armor to evolve by pushing it to its limits.
- Adaptation and Evolution: Its ability to evolve is also shown on several occasions. Once Tatsumi inherited Incursio, the Teigu went through an evolution in order to adapt to Tatsumi's fighting style and to exceed its previous limitations. The armor that enveloped him was noticeably less bulky then it was previously in order to fit Tatsumi's agile form. Tatsumi is able to sense that the armor, after its evolution, has new abilities that he had yet to discover. One example is the ability for Incursio to manifest the head of the Tyrant from any point on the armor to deflect bladed weapons, protecting the user from an otherwise decapitating blow. This was shown again in the second battle against Esdeath when Tatsumi pushed the armor to its limits, with assuming a new form. In this form, the armor is more segmented, has a more savage, reptilian-based shape with claws on the gauntlets and feet, as well as a secondary pair of eyes on the helmet and the Neuntote spear is much larger than before. As with this evolution, Tatsumi's speed and strength are even greater.
- Poison and Cold Resistance: Incursio has developed a resistance to the effects of poison and extreme cold.
- Time Stop Resistance: Incursio develops resistance to Esdeath's Time Stop, Makahadoma, in its second evolution and then demonstrates full immunity as Tyrant.
- Invisibility: Incursio's Trump Card, allowing Tatsumi to be completely hidden from sight for a limited time. However, while he's completely and utterly invisible during said time, his "presence" is not masked. As a result, opponents who are able to detect and track bloodlust/killing intent or use other methods of tracking (i.e. an enhanced sense of smell) will only be marginally affected by this ability.
Note: In a side chapter, Tatsumi seemingly overpowered one of the old geezers who was able to bat Leone away, though it was a surprise attack.
