personality

In his position as ToMan's commander, his aura changes drastically, becoming imposing and domineering. While the gang members respect him, they also hold a certain degree of fear towards him and his immense prowess. Mikey is also concerned for ToMan on an individual level, as shown when he decides to rally the entire gang to seek revenge for one of his member's friends. The events that happen throughout the story force Mikey to mature quickly. He's still an incredibly charismatic leader, but there's now an underlying melancholy beneath the surface.

Inside Mikey, there is a great darkness which Mikey calls Dark Impulses, when the dark impulses appear this Mikey no longer knows what he is doing, he is not aware of what is happening around him since it is as if another person took his place, once the dark impulses calm down this Mikey slowly notices everything he did.

Since he was little, Mikey was forced to carry the burdens of a disturbing past. He wavers between walking on the right path and succumbing to that darkness, since every time the dark impulses appear, Mikey feels a lot of pain throughout his body, causing him to fall and that darkness to completely take over his being.

Skills

As the leader of ToMan, Mikey has absolute control over his members. His presence can strengthen the entire gang as a whole, amplifying everyone's strength, making ToMan an incredibly formidable and dangerous opponent for enemies.

Fighting Powers
Manjiro is considered the strongest member of the Tokyo Manji and arguably the series from a fighting standpoint. His epithet, "The Invincible Mikey", is indicative of his strength and how he is revered among other delinquent groups. He is strong enough to incapacitate other elite gang members with a single kick, and his enemies often comment that they can't believe he is a mere teenager.

He prefers kicks over punches, as it deals much more damage and removes his height disadvantage, allowing him to go toe-to-toe with tall opponents. His punches are above average, but his true strength lies in his kicking abilities. His kicks have crushed cars, and even his "knockout" move involves a kick.

His lightning-fast reflexes make him impervious to surprise attacks.

Endurance
Sano has also been shown to have remarkable resilience. He has been attacked with blows that would have knocked most people out, but he is still able to shake it off and continue fighting. The few times he has been knocked out, he has come back to life fairly quickly.

Intuition
Due to his deep bond with his friends, Mikey has the unique ability to sense their wills. He correctly deduced that Mitsuya was going to do something on Christmas night and even his location, saving his friends from a tight spot.

Mechanical knowledge
As Shinichiro's younger brother, a skilled mechanic, Mikey possesses a wealth of knowledge about machines, motorcycles in particular. He can fix and assemble motorcycle parts well.
