Overall, Taro is among the most experienced and masterful Shirogane in the world, having awakened earlier on in life, and then spent time continuing to hone the techniques he learned from his past life before the founding of the White Knight Order. As a result of his past life, as an assassin, he showed himself have completely mastered such stealth and assassination techniques, enough to have become known as "Invisible", an infamous person capable of kidnapping a vast number of Saviors without leaving the slightest hint of his presence, capable of kidnapping A Rank Saviors, even bypassing the numerous techniques of Charles Saint-Germain. As a testament to this, Moroha has considered Taro to be scariest opponent to him, different from Sir Edward Lampard, and the duo of Shiba and Nelly, making it difficult for Moroha to defeat or hurt him. Same as both Jin and Elena, during the final battle against Andou, he was considered comparable to S Rank.
