Presence Concealment D: Since he was not a Servant of the proper "Assassin" class, this was not a class ability, but rather the "Presence Concealment" he possessed as the state of a Martial Artist he had attained. This was not a skill for sneaking around and hiding, but a spiritual technique through which a Martial Artist emptied himself and blended into his surroundings. Since it had not been honed for assassination, it fell short of the Presence Concealment possessed by Hassan. In truth, Sasaki Kojiro with his presence erased was an opponent even Servants found difficult to detect. It was exceedingly difficult to notice Kojiro's existence upon first meeting him. However, because his range of movement was limited to the vicinity of Ryuudou Temple's gate, those who knew of his existence should have found him comparatively easier to spot. Even so, due to Kojiro's personality, he usually revealed himself in battle, exchanged names with his opponent, and only then fought. As a result, this ability was rarely used for its intended purpose.
Possessed Skills:
Mind's Eye (False) A: A danger-prediction ability belonging to the realm of premonition or a sixth sense. Unlike the crisis-avoidance ability possessed by Emiya, which was based on "predictions supported by experience," it was founded on innate talent. During the Holy Grail War, when he fought Saber, he used this ability during several clashes with her invisible sword to grasp the blade's length and even its width and shape. He also saw through the existence of the Noble Phantasm attack she had never used due to insufficient mana. His discerning eyes, capable of seeing through an opponent's weapon and fighting style after only a few exchanges, ranked among the finest of all Servants.
Translucence B+: An ability generally called "Mirror-Still Water." More precisely, it referred to the spiritual state attained at the end of rigorous training. Having learned this skill, Kojiro always maintained a serene and lucid heart, remaining unmoved by any situation—even his own death. In battle, he could completely nullify mental interference, such as magecraft that induced confusion and panic, caused by his final opponent.
Monohoshi Zao B: A special skill that prevented the accuracy of the same technique from declining no matter how many times it was repeated against the same opponent. In other words, it was an ability with the effect of making his attacks impossible for the enemy to see through.
Noble Phantasm: Tsubame Gaeshi
Anti-Person Demon Sword
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A sure-kill sword strike in which blades closing in from three directions simultaneously cut down the opponent before him. Strictly speaking, this was neither a Noble Phantasm nor a phenomenon borrowing the power of magecraft.
One slash flashed through the real world, then two more flashes overlapped it in complete simultaneity, disregarding the concepts of time and space, producing slashes from three directions. It was a "multidimensional refraction phenomenon (Kischur Zelretch)" that transcended such factors as speed, finesse, and feints. An unnamed Martial Artist who knew neither magecraft nor magic had, despite certain limitations, reached the lofty realm of the "Second Magic." This technique had a range of roughly 3 meters.
