Relationships[]
Chika Ohsawa - Upon learning learning about the real world, and that his own world, his life, and his tribulations were all made for the sake of "entertainment," Blitz's shows great hatred to the world of the gods as well as his own creator, who he desired to kill. Therefore, Blitz fully supports Altair's plan to destroy the real world. When accosting his creator, Blitz had asked Chika on why she made him kill his own daughter. As Chika replied it was simply to "make the story more interesting," an apoplectic Blitz had shot his creator and called her a devil for her willingness to write tragedies for her creations to experience. Before Blitz was able to kill his creator, his hatred ebbed away when seeing that his daughter was revived. While Blitz was able to reconcile with his own creator, he still thinks negatively about her as he comments that he prefers to live in his own world while preferring to not live in the same world as Chika.
Ryusuke - The protagonist of Code・Babylon, as well as Blitz's partner where Blitz is surprised that Ryusuke is the main character of his world. Like many protagonists, Blitz notes that Ryusuke's motives are simple and that people similar, to Ryusuke, seems to be a common trope.
Powers and Abilities[]
Weapons[]
Handgun - Blitz wields a Customized handgun (Russian RSh-12 anti-materiel revolver type) he can shoot with at rapid succession and the cylinder may then be loaded, singly or again with a speed loader, closed, and latched in place, the pivoting part that supports the cylinder is called the crane. Using the method often portrayed in movies and television of flipping the cylinder open and closed with a flick of the wrist can in fact cause the crane to bend over time, throwing the cylinder out of alignment with the barrel. Lack of alignment between chamber and barrel is a dangerous condition, as it can impede the bullet's transition from chamber to barrel. This gives rise to higher pressures in the chamber, bullet damage, and the potential for an explosion if the bullet becomes stuck.
- Gravity Bomb - Blitz has a special type of bullet (12.7×55mm Sts-130 subsonic cartridge) when it fire it can use to cause To Break any form of magic abilities and may cause severe damage to the enemy. This was first shown when Blitz used the bullet against Meteora Österreich to destroy her Magic Barrier and cause her to fly back into a boulder to take severe damage.
Equipment[]
Gravity Watch - Blitz wears a Special watch that if the top is turned the watch gives Blitz the ability to fly and levitate.
