Intelligence: Unknown, Zanku was known as an executioner that worked at the largest prison in the Empire and after years of beheading people, it has become second nature to him[2]. He is shown to suffer from schizophrenia, hearing dark voices that drove him closer to insanity with each passing day[1]. Despite his talkative nature, he will not let his guard down and use the “Insight” ability of his Teigu to predict movements from opponents who try to attack him while he is talking. When using the “Illusion Sight” ability of his Teigu, he usually make himself appear as his opponent’s most precious person to either lure them away from their allies[2] or try and score a killing blow with no fear of retaliation because he knows that for most people no matter how skilled they are they can never attack someone they love[1].
Weaknesses: Has a tendency to constantly talk and as such is shown willing to give away information regarding the abilities of his Teigu to his opponent[2]. Even if he reads someone’s mind to know their next attack through “Insight”, he can still be caught off guard if the attack is faster than he'd expected. Stated that his “Illusion Sight” can only work on one person at a time[1].
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
His Teigu, Spector, has been confirmed to have five different abilities related to sight:
- Insight: With “Insight”, he can know a person's thoughts by just seeing their expression. By reading their mind, he is able to then predict their next move[2].
- Farsight: With “Farsight”, Zanku stated that he can clearly see far distances, whether it is night or through fog[2].
- Clearsight: With “Clearsight”, he can see through solid objects, which Zanku can utilize to perceive whether his opponent is concealing hidden weapons[1].
- Foresight: With “Foresight”, by seeing the smallest muscle movements, Zanku can see what a person will do next[1].
- Illusion Sight: With “Illusion Sight”, Zanku can casts an illusion that brings the target to their most precious person and shows them before their eyes[1], Although it only works on one person at a time, Zanku had stated that the effects are absolute.
