Summary

An unnamed passive ability that allows Giriko to cause the chain associated with his chainsaw weapon form to appear upon specific parts of his body to act like a sort of chainmail armor. As the chain is constructed much like its real life counterpart, it is highly reinforced and durable; this means it is capable of completely preventing the damage inflicted by even high-level attacks, including those conducted by a death scythe such as Justin Law's Holy Jūji-Shūtō.

It appears that the chain itself acts according to Giriko's will, rather than being completely independent, resulting in it requiring time to wrap around the intended section of his body. Even though this process only takes mere moments, during that time large quantities of Giriko's body are left largely undefended, leaving a slight opening for opponents to cause damage.

Giriko can also release the chains off his body to direct along the ground at his opponent. Due to the current circumstances involved with the ability's demonstration, it is unknown if the chain is continuously in motion or not when on his own body. However, when directing the chains off his body, and should the chains pass his opponent, Giriko can redirect the chains to come back to hit his opponent from behind.[1]
