Tamaki does not believe that anyone should undermine another person's hard work. He noticed that Class 1-A was unable to recognize the amount of work Mirio Togata put into honing his own power and even showed his face to comment on it.[4] He is also quick to point out when others are too optimistic in their pessimistic opinion and is unable to recognize his own achievements. His pessimism is a direct contrast to the optimism of his teacher, Fat Gum. Even after being complimented by Fat Gum, Tamaki often receives praise from his mentor as ridicule.[5]

While his physical abilities and Quirk are exceptional, Tamaki is very socially awkward and lacks confidence in his own powers and abilities, as shown when he belittled himself for manifesting extra wings while catching villains. He seemingly feels overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect and this has damaged his self-esteem, pushing himself to the limit in order to meet the expectations set by Fat Gum, Mirio, and others who believe in him. [6]

Despite his timid heart, Tamaki is fully capable of showing flashes of bravery and takes his job as a Hero and the responsibilities it brings seriously. Even though he has been shy and reserved since he was a child, Tamaki was able to hone his skills and rise into one of UA's Big Three. Mirio is a huge inspiration to Tamaki and their cooperation throughout their lives has led to Tamaki establishing his own set of stern beliefs that he will uphold and vocalize.

Mirio often gives Tamaki the inspiration to act even when he feels anxious. In the mission against the Shie Hassaikai, inspired by Mirio's bravery, Suneater shows a bright flash of bravery, taking on the challenge of taking on three powerful Yakuza just so the others can complete the mission. [7] Tamaki is shown to be calculating and intelligent, as in his fight he quickly analyzed his opponents' powers and was able to create different strategies until he defeated them.

Manifest (再さい現げん Saigen ?): Tamaki's Quirk grants him the ability to manifest the characteristics of anything he has eaten. The more of a substance Tamaki eats, the stronger his manifestation will become. Additionally, whatever he manifests is significantly stronger than normal, as seen by how his crab-like claws were able to easily crush metal weapons.

He can only manifest traits from substances that are still in his system, and he loses access to those traits once the substance is fully digested. He needs to replenish his Gift every day, and must decide what foods to eat beforehand.

After vigorous training at UA, Tamaki is able to use multiple manifestations at once, control the size of the manifestation, as well as be able to precisely choose the best characteristic of whatever he has eaten to suit any situation. Chimera Kraken (キメラ・クラーケン Kimera Kurāken?): Tamaki's arms transform into a pair of four incredibly large tentacles covered in suction cups, which he uses to strike across a large area, hitting multiple opponents.
Chimera Centaur (キメラ・ケンタウロス Kimera Kentaurosu ?): Tamaki transforms his lower body into the lower half of a horse, grows horns, and his hands transform into vines that hold various hard fruits on the end of which he uses to hit multiple enemies at once.[9]

Overall Abilities: Tamaki is one of the most powerful students at UA, alongside Mirio Togata and Nejire Hado who are known as the Big Three. It has been said that Tamaki has skills and abilities that far surpass that of most Pro Heroes.

Tamaki has mastered his Quirk through vigorous training. He possesses the ability to manipulate feature selection, size manipulation, and simultaneous manifestations. This gives Tamaki's fighting style incredible variation and unpredictability.[8]

Tamaki makes sure to eat plenty of Takoyaki and Clams every day because he believes that they are great for both offense and defense. He often uses his tentacle fingers to tie up his opponents and defends himself using a clam shell. [5] Tamaki also has a variety of other powerful combinations, including using chicken claws reinforced with octopus muscles or tentacle fingers reinforced with crab shells. Fat Gum firmly believes that Tamaki's skills are above his own and an entire team of pro heroes and students that included the rest of the Big Three, Ryukyu, Eraserhead, and Rock Lock. [6] Tamaki has demonstrated his strength on multiple occasions. He was able to effortlessly neutralize dangerous villains before they temporarily erased his Quirk. [5] Tamaki's mettle was proven when he faced Toya Setsuno, Yu Hojo, and Soramitsu Tabe of the Shie Hassaikai in a 3-on-1 fight and was confident that he could take on the Yakuza trio on his own.

In an Emergency Drill, Tamaki fended off Mashirao Ojiro's rapid attacks and momentarily trapped him without being able to move. Also in the Drill, he kicked Izuku Midoriya away with his guard down, and during the Paranormal Liberation War, he was able to quickly knock out several members of the Liberation Front with just one Super Move.

Improved Speed: Tamaki has incredible reaction time when using his Quirk to attack or fight. In his and Eijiro Kirishima's internships with Fat Gum, Tamaki was able to quickly get ahead of both heroes and easily defeat two villains who were fleeing from the police. Before facing the three Yakuza alone, Tamaki acted quickly to knock Toya, Yu, and Soramitsu into a wall before they and the Heroes present could take action.

Even with those injuries from his fight against the Yakuza, he was able to wake up from unconsciousness and carry an unconscious Mirio while stopping Chronostasis single-handedly.

Tactical Intellect: Tamaki demonstrates incredible tactical judgment during fights. He acted quickly to catch Toya, Yu, and Soramitsu at once to give the Heroes the advantage. After doing so, he declared that it was a bad idea for all the heroes present to fight the three Yakuza at once, correctly deducing that the villains were trying to hold off the heroes as much as possible so that Overhaul could escape with Eri. He noted that it is best for the rest of his companions, especially Eraserhead, to save their Quirks for when they go deeper into the Yakuza stronghold and need to be at 100% power to break the shifting walls caused by the Quirk's Quirk. Mimic.

During his battle against three of the Eight Bullets, Tamaki showed his ability to strategize in the midst of battle. Tamaki attempted to manifest the neurotoxin from octopus saliva into his arm, knowing that Soramitsu would not be able to move if she ate the appendage. Even when he became overwhelmed by the trio's camaraderie, Suneater was able to quickly develop an improvised strategy. He interrupted their teamwork by first obscuring Toya's vision, knowing that the item-stealing villain relies on sight to use his Larceny, then used Yu Hojo's crystal against him devouring them and creating a solid defense to stop Toya. Hojo. After defeating the trio, Tamaki removed their masks and kept them on hand as a precaution, having witnessed Toya reveal that he had a dagger hidden inside her own mask at the beginning of the match.
