Bullet Time is a skill awakened by focusing, where the opponent appears in slow motion.
Usage[]
Bullet Time's vision.
When the user enters a state of full concentration, they can move so fast that their opponents seem extremely slow. The idea of Bullet Time is that the user's body and reflexes are so fast that their eyes and senses register every movement as if it is happening in slow motion. This leaves the opponents vulnerable to precise counters which can be thrown before they realise they've been hit. This raises the effectiveness of the user's blows as they could land out of an opponent's blind spot, causing both high mental and physical damage. The user moves faster than the opponent can visually track which makes it seem like the person "vanishes" within the ring itself. Mamoru Takamura said it's like looking out from inside a high speed vehicle, everything else is in super slow motion.

Bullet Time is dependent on the user's stamina and most importantly their concentration. Despite its speed, this skill can be disrupted by static given off from switching styles making it weak to Switch Hitters. Seeing this ability, Ryō Mashiba commented that Manabu Itagaki's speed is equal or greater than Ichirō Miyata. In Itagaki's match against Takuzō Karasawa, he rose up to his second gear after focusing on little to big objectives making himself seem like he's teleporting when he was swaying back and forth really fast.
