Road to 2002, 25th anniversary
Overlap
He can overlap when attacking (Road to 2002 arc, chapter 25, page 13).
Pass
He can send a long feed forward (Road to 2002 arc, chapter 25, page 13), and can start a counter with a long feed forward (Road to 2002 arc, chapter 2, page 12).
Interception
His iron wall defense can prevent Torino primavera's n°9 from attacking (Road to 2002 arc, chapter 2, page 12), but may not be able to prevent Nitta from directly sending the ball to another forward on a long kick from the keeper thanks to his tornado kick (25th anniversary, part 2, pages 31-32).
