Miscellaneous Personality Traits She is also quite sharp-tongued and is known within the Kaientai as the "Razor Lieutenant." She understands Sakamoto deeply and has sworn never to act against his way of life.

On the other hand, she treats him quite roughly, such as pointing a gun at him without hesitation, telling giant alien creatures to focus their attacks on his crotch, dropping him from the Kairinmaru in mid-air to crash into the ground while using him as a footstool, or repeatedly kicking him in the groin. However, this ruthlessness can be seen as a sign of her deep trust in him. She is highly respected within the Kaientai, and many members address her as "Mutsu-sama." She responds to Tatsuma Sakamoto's idiocy with biting sarcasm.
