Equipment[]
- Silver Tiger: Ace's signature weapon is an aluminum metal bat, designed for both durability and lethality. The handle is wrapped in a black stripe pattern, similar to a tiger's markings. Crafted specifically for Ace upon his induction into the gang, the bat was tailored to meet his exacting standards, ensuring it would not break under any circumstances. It is forged from a special high-strength aluminum alloy, making it immensely durable. The bat's length gives him a reach advantage and keeping enemies at a distance or target multiple enemies with sweeping motions.
- Gas Mask: Ace wears a futuristic, dark gas mask that covers the lower half of his face, featuring filtration units that enhance his respiratory and physical abilities. The primary function of the gas mask is to alleviate the asthma that plagued Ace throughout his baseball career. The mask is designed to withstand significant damage. It has proven to be resilient even against sharp attacks, such as when it was slashed by crows' talons. When the mask does sustain damage, it can be repaired. His partner Jia has demonstrated her ability to fix the mask, remaining functional and effective regardless of the challenges it faces.
