| “ | Because it couldn't be anyone else. Signs that prove it's my handiwork can be found all over him. It's a scientist habit. Just like how an artist leaves their mark on a piece they create. It's the same with his Kāma. I can instantly tell if it's one I reconstructed or not. For some reason the special Kāma containing Akebi's data is on Kawaki's palm. These phenomena completely contradict my memory but...in light of this physical evidence I must conclude...that at least part of my memory...has been altered. That's the only explanation. Not to mention that memories are no more than ambiguous figments of thought. As a scientist there is no proof...stronger than physical evidence. I don't know who did the tampering, but I can say this much. My only priority is the Kāma containing Akebi. And it isn't Boruto who possess it. it's Kawaki. | „ |
| ~ Amado revealing that he'd known the truth about Omnipotence to Sumire |
Amado Sanzu is a supporting character in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations as well as one of the few people who figured out the truth behind Omnipotence on his own in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Amado is a former member of Kara and was the head of the R&D until his defection to Konoha, with his extraordinary intellect and deception he used a mix of bluffs to gain the protection of Konoha. Eventually he settled down in Konoha at their own R&D and Sumire Kakei became his adviser. Although his goals remain a mystery, but he made it clear that he means no harm to Konoha and only wants to revive his deceased daughter.
He is voiced by Akio Ōtsuka in Japanese and by Greg Chun in English.
Appearance[]
Amado has white hair as well as his beard, a trimmed moustache, and thick glasses with orange lenses, and light green eyes. He wears a black collared shirt and matching pants. Later, when travelling to Konoha, he would dress in a beige jacket with a green collar and pants and green sandals and gloves. Beneath his travel attire, Amado wears a green-coloured open collar shirt and white pants. He also has a golden chain necklace around his neck. After the three-year time skip Amado is seen wearing reverting back to his black attire.
Background[]
Amado daughter Akebi, died with an unknown disease 12 years ago prior to Isshiki assault on Konoha. Thus Amado tried to revive his daughter by cloning her numerous times, however Amado noticed something with the clones; that although they looked like Akebi but they lacked her personality. Much later Delta despite having the same appearance and memories as Akebi, were completely different individuals, with this Amado hopes of reviving his daughter has completely crushed and he entered into a mental breakdown state. This wasn't until Jigen (who at the time was already the vessel of Isshiki) approached the scientist and promised him he would reunite him with his daughter if he helped him with his plans, and Amado immediately agreed.
While he was in Kara he eventually became an Inner and the head of the Research and Development division, and used Scientific Ninja Tools to augment all the other Kara members. He also analysed the remains of Shibai Ōtsutsuki, transplanting his DNA to imprint his abilities onto other Kara members. Eventually, he learned a lot about the Ōtsutsuki clan, discovering Isshiki's true motive which would destroy all life on the planet, making Akebi's resurrection moot. He switched his focus to destroying Isshiki, but didn't give up on resurrecting Akebi, having realised that Kāma resurrection was able to accomplish the restoration of personality he failed at. During this time he also created cyborgs with a level that surpass Jigen such as Ada and Daemon, however Jigen ordered their disposal. However thanks to Ada entrancing ability Boro was unable to dispose of her and her brother as ordered and has both of them preserved instead. At this point Ada came to hate Amado for robbing her to feel love.
At some unknown point, Amado created an alternate scheme to kill Isshiki, which to create a clone of one of the Legendary Sannin Jiraiya; Koji Kashin, who became his one and only secret ally in Kara, who's only and main goal was to kill Isshiki. During his time within the organization, Amado has gained complete knowledge of Kara and the Ōtsutsuki clan. Because of this, Jigen had forbidden him to ever leave headquarters; to do so would amount to treason that could well result in Amado's execution.
Amado would then assist Jigen in various experiments most notably to assisting him to transfer his Kāma into various children however the only survivors to receive Isshiki Kāma were Kawaki and Code, however in Code's case he would gain a White Kāma failing to become a vessel for Isshiki, while Kawaki had successfully become fully functional vessel. Amado then modified Kawaki's body to extreme measures turning his whole body into Shinobi-Ware with various cybernetic enhancement and regenerative abilities, but he did not put a shutdown command code on Kawaki as Jigen has forbade it. Amado would secretly feed Kawaki some Byakugan weakening drugs pills behind Jigen back.
Despite Code's failure in become a complete vessel for Isshiki, Code White Kāma granted him a might-well beyond that of Jigen, but due to his loyalty to the Ōtsutsuki and complete and utter devotion spared him from being destroyed and thus Amado had to put limiters on Code to weaken him so that Jigen can have the leadership.
Personality[]
Amado is a very stoic and detached individual. He is very blunt with his views, willing to speak his mind despite what others think of him. He is a regular smoker. While he was in Kara he didn't care for the various children that died during Jigen experiments, as when a project shows no improvement after a certain period of time, he believes that it should be abandoned for an alternative one. Much of this stems from a broken heart at losing his daughter and failing to help her. With his failed attempt to recreate his daughter Akebi in Delta, he sees her violent and destructive tendencies as annoying, berating her for needlessly kicking open the lid of her spare body's containment unit. He did, however, look at her solemnly and longingly when Jigen mentioned that every member of Kara's wish would be granted, apparently still seeing Delta as his daughter in some level.
He is a very composed and never loses his calm, even when he was taken in as prisoner in Konohagakure, he maintains his calm demeanor, even when he is surrounded by Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru and Sai. Amado remained undeterred, having established a variety of factors to maintain leverage in succeeding in his goals, showing a very methodical and intuitive nature. He is also very business-minded, as even while he apologised for his actions, holding Shikadai hostage with an explosive collar, unwilling to waste time or remove the collar before completing negotiations. He is shown to be very manipulative, able to use simple baiting and mind games to accomplish his goals. In order to secure his position, Amado will create problems to which only he can offer a solution. He views himself as one who plays the odds, taking advantage of the situation to the best of his ability. He openly admits that he is weak to torturing and will break very easily. and is capable of showing fear despite his otherwise calm demeanor. When placed at Code's mercy as was forced to remove his limiters, he quickly begged for his life, stating he sees no value in pride when dealing with survival. The only time Amado became agitated is when he told Shikamaru not to kill Kawaki prior to Omnipotence being casted as he has a shutdown command code on him.
Originally, like other members of Kara, Amado's loyalty to the organization was purely due to self-interest, expecting Isshiki to revive his daughter Akebi as part of their deal, however upon realizing Isshiki true plan on destroying the planet and having increasing doubts that he would even hold up his end of the bargain, Amado reneged on his part, and conspired with Koji, intending to eliminate Jigen. Which in the end he succeeded in doing so. Realizing there was no point in getting his daughter back if there is no planet to live on, Amado became determined to do away with the entire Ōtsutsuki clan. Viewing their actions throughout history as vile and parasitic, he even risked his life to defect to Konoha and offered all of his intel on Kara, Jigen, the Ōtsutsuki, and their Ten-Tails.
Even after allying with Konoha, Amado remains a schemer such as he planted a Kāma on Kawaki's without his knowledge moreover revealing that the Kāma has Akebi's DNA. He took advantage of Kawaki's desire for power to manipulate him into wanting a Kāma back, playing on his desire to protect Naruto, having already secretly reapplied it so Kawaki's desire could reactivate it. After the three-year time skip it is revealed at some point he also planted a microscopic camera into Kawaki's eyes.
According to Isshiki, Amado looked up to the late Sanin Jiraiya who bore a mighty fate, and his desire to cling onto that fate was the reason he cloned the late Sannin to create Koji. Per Isshiki's declaration that all beings have their fates determined by their genes, Amado may also share this belief, hence his choice to create another Jiraiya.
Although always a serious man, Amado does have a twisted sense of humor, as shown when he said that killing Kawaki would be an option to prevent Isshiki revival even though he had already taken several steps ahead to make sure that won't be necessary. He also smirked around Shikamaru when he demanded to disarm the bomb around Shikadai before revealing it was just an ordinary collar and not a bomb.
Biography[]
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations[]
Kawaki Arc[]
Amado is seen inside Kara headquarters when Jigen brings a young Kawaki and inquires if that's the last child, Jigen tells him he is and to treat him courteously in Kawaki flashback. In the anime when Victor had plotted to take the Vessel for himself, Amado was impressed by Victor stealth blimp but was wary of Victor actions of transporting the Vessel so he had Koji in secret blow it up and had the other Kara Inners put the blame on Victor. This also allowed Kawaki to escape however Jigen wasn't that much concerned. He also placed coordinates to Isshiki Ten-Tails in the blimp so Konoha could find it.
Later after Koji kills Victor for his betrayal. Jigen was concerned about Victor statement of a third-party involved in the blimp crashing and ordered Amado to find who the real traitor is, Amado then called all the other Inners for a check-up maintenance. He revealed that the system check on everyone revealed no signs of treachery. Delta however pointed out that Amado could have been using the situation to hide his own treachery. While Amado insisted he had nothing to gain from clearing the innocence of others if he really is the traitor, Delta remained wary of him.
After Jigen gave Delta permission, Amado questioned Jigen about letting her go check on the mission's progress herself only for the latter to respond that it didn't matter. Amado stated it could make it difficult if people were moving freely and had plans he needed to attend to. However, Jigen reminded Amado that it didn't matter and told him not to let anyone near him for a while which Amado complied and watched Jigen leave. Later, Amado asked Code to get Boro to come in for his maintenance check. While Code stubbornly said he wasn't allowed to leave the base without Jigen's permission, Amado assured him he would vouch for Code's actions, insisting that it would be of good aid to Jigen.
Amado checked on data from his desktop and noticed Delta's still intact drone's arrival at the Kara base. Once it connected to one of Delta body's terminals, he entered a few commands and watched her kicking open her containment in anger after she had awakened. Amado complained of Delta breaking the lid of the containment all the time, but he was told off by her that if he has time to complain, he should do his job. After Delta left, he commented on her mouth. Amado was later attending the meeting with the other Inners and he was informed that Boruto Uzumaki had his own genuine Kāma.
Later after Jigen defeated both Naruto and Sasuke in battle, sealing the former away, he returned to Kara headquarters with his body breaking down Jigen was hooked up by Amado to treat his body. The man voiced his disapproval of Jigen being so reckless with his body, noting that it would take at least two days to fully recover. Jigen voiced that he couldn't help but get excited after seeing how far and quickly Kawaki's Kāma was evolving and him synchronising with it. He theorised that it was because of his exposure to Boruto's own Kāma, also believing that Boruto was going through similar development. From this, Jigen strongly believed the two of them would become "perfect Ōtsutsuki" and form a God Tree to consume the planet. He also assured Amado that everyone would get what was promised, which left the bespectacled man looking away solemnly.
When Jigen was recharging his body which was at 10% after his battle against Naruto and Sasuke. Koji returned. Knowing that Boro was safeguarding the sealed Hokage and Code was watching over the Ten-Tails, Amado realised that Koji would use this opportunity to kill Jigen. Deciding to make their move, Amado gathered the essential tools to continue his work, believing that he could complete the rest of his research with the scientific equipment that Konoha had in disposal. However they were approached by Delta but Amado quickly used a shutdown command code on her and all of her drones. Koji summoned a toad and then reverse summoning Amado in the outskirts of Konoha while Koji went to deal with the weakened Jigen. Amado then met with Team 10 as they were training and clapped at the new Ino-Shika-Cho formation when Team 10 find Amado suspicious he uses various Scientific Ninja Tools in his arsenal against them. He then took Shikadai hostage with a collar around his neck as he demanded to speak with his father. After Inojin contacts his mother, Amado is pleased to find out that Naruto is safe and sound which he felt made his attempt to defect to Konoha more worthwhile. In exchange, he was willing to share his intel on Kara, Jigen, their Ten-Tails, and the Ōtsutsuki.
Amado was detained, where despite his claims of seeking asylum, was very bold while being interrogated. After Naruto gave his word as Hokage he would not go back on his deal, Amado began explaining all he knew. He revealed that how the Ōtsutsuki have since before recorded history been travelling from planet to planet, harvesting its chakra for the sake of evolving themselves while destroying the planet in the process, using the Ten-Tails for the process. He also revealed that Jigen himself was turned into an Ōtsutsuki from being branded by his Kāma of Isshiki. Amado also revealed to have sabotaged the blimp to free Kawaki and likewise ensure that Sasuke would get the intel of Isshiki. Amado's glasses then began beeping. His glasses were taken off, revealing a holographic projection of Jigen talking with Kashin. They learned that Kashin and Amado were working together so that Koji could kill Jigen.
As they watched Koji continue to reveal his true nature and intentions against Jigen, Amado continued revealing his secrets, on the grounds that Naruto formally accepted Amado's request to officially join Konohagakure with full amnesty and protection. He explained that Jigen was but an empty shell of his form self, fully controlled by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. He revealed that Isshiki was once partners with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, but there was a falling-out which left Isshiki mortally wounded. He found Jigen and made him his vessel. It was also revealed that the Kāma is a condensed recreation of an Ōtsutsuki, designed to help them cheat death by using the mark to resurrect themselves with the branded target becoming the new body. Insisting that neither Isshiki nor Momoshiki can be allowed to return to this world, he said he knew how to properly kill an Ōtsutsuki and would show them.
As the battle began tilting to Jigen's death, Sasuke wondered if Kawaki would be taken over, as Isshiki's remaining vessel. Kawaki rushed into the room and attacked Amado, but was blocked by Sasuke. Amado explained that upon death, those branded by Kāma are instantly turned into Ōtsutsuki, something even the Ōtsutsuki themselves have no control over. However, as Kawaki's Kāma hasn't finished extracting Isshiki's data, Isshiki can't resurrect through his body yet. When Koji killed Jigen, it forced Isshiki's resurrection on the imperfect vessel, which caused Kawaki's Kāma to disappear. Amado theorised this is a security feature of Kāma to avoid the creation of duplicates. This led everyone to realise that Isshiki has no Kāma left, and thus vulnerable to a permanent death. Soon after, the paperwork was completed. Amado was officially recognised as a citizen of Konohagakure and even allowed to work with the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team.
After accepting these terms, he revealed the bomb around Shikadai was fake all along, he also noted that Isshiki resurrected in his imperfect state and as such he only has one goal; to brand Kawaki with another Kāma as he would die in few days. After the fight with Isshiki is over. Amado was worried about Kawaki as Naruto, Sasuke and Boruto have returned from the other dimension.
Later, Amado was able to restore Kawaki's proper arm by cultivating it from Kawaki's cell samples. He considered asking Kawaki something but chose not to. Afterwards, he spoke with Naruto and Shikamaru about the remaining threats on Earth of the missing Ten-Tails seed and the last Inner, Code. He assured them there are other means for Space-Time travelling besides ninjutsu to find the seed and that the defeat of the last active Inner will cause all Outers to cease functioning. He also warned them of Code's tremendous might and limiters implanted on him, along with Code's fanatical devotion to Isshiki would make him seek out and kill all who were responsible for the Kara founder's demise. He flatly noted that if captured and tortured, Amado would not be able to resist removing the limiters. Taking to heart on Amado's warnings.
Naruto approached Amado on how to handle Boruto's Kāma. Amado sympathised with the Hokage, having been a father himself years ago. He could tell that Naruto had yet to give up hope on saving his son. Amado gave Naruto a supply of pills that were designed to weaken the visual might of Byakugan users. He theorised that as the Hyūga had heritage from the Ōtsutsuki, it should help slow down or even suppress fully the advancement of the Kāma, but noted that it is still only a temporary solution. He also warned of potential side-effects from overusing these pills on Boruto.
Code's Assault Arc[]
When Code's Claw Marks appeared near Konoha, Shikamaru assigned a guard to keep an eye on Amado, since Amado was the only one capable of removing Code's limiters. Amado himself admitted that if Code captured him, he would easily break into undoing his limiters, claiming he wasn't a shinobi who could endure torture, and urged Shikamaru to protect him at all costs.
Later, as Kawaki awoke following another checkup, having a nightmare about Code, proudly saying he was no longer a Vessel, Amado corrected him. He reminded Kawaki that even with the Kāma gone, his body remained partially modified into Isshiki's being. While Kawaki was angry at the statement, Amado revealed he already knew about Kawaki's idea of branding Code with a new Kāma based on Boruto to save Boruto's life. However, he reminded Kawaki that Code already had a different Kāma, so it might not work. At the same time, he noted that that with Kawaki's body already essentially housing Isshiki's body and Isshiki's spirit truly gone, Kawaki would have access to Isshiki's power without fear of being possessed by the man if Amado rebranded him. While Amado pointed out that Kawaki desired power to protect the Hokage and that Naruto, now void of Kurama's power, would probably lose against Code even with his limiters, Kawaki refused and stormed off.
Afterwards, Sumire spoke up, asking why Amado was so insistent on rebranding Kawaki. As Amado noted that Sumire should have kept quiet if her goal was to spy on him, Sumire still asked what Amado's true goals were. Amado assured her that her fears were baseless and he truly intended to help the village. He also revealed that his newest project, a container near him, housed a powerful new ally for the village that he was working on with Katasuke.
Later, Amado reported to Shikamaru, who still voiced his lack of trust towards him. He assured Shikamaru that his manipulations never accounted for the most recent of events, openly surprised to see how close and loyal Kawaki has become to Naruto. When Shikamaru was notified that Kawaki had evaded surveillance to leave the village, he and Shikamaru wondered how and why Kawaki did it. Sai reported that Kawaki was most likely fighting Code. Amado found it strange that Code found him so fast, knowing he had no sensory abilities. He considered Sumire's suggestion that he might have employed an Outer, but found it unlikely, not knowing any that skilled. He became lost in thought, ignoring Sai, and praying to himself for Kawaki not to ruin everything they managed to achieve so far, especially after he secretly reapplied a Kāma to Kawaki.
Omnipotence Arc[]
After everyone returned to Konoha, Amado listened to Boruto's explanation about his resurrection through Momoshiki's Kāma. Despite Momoshiki no longer being able to resurrect, he remained concerned with his consciousness taking over Boruto again, though Boruto felt different, claiming he was better able to channel Momoshiki's power now. He ran tests, and confirmed Boruto's situation to Shikamaru, who became rough as he questioned Amado. He claimed that he didn't get Kawaki's consent to restore the Kāma because Kawaki would never give it due to his loathe of it, but he nonetheless craved the power to protect Naruto, and since his intent was ultimately required to manifest it, this was something Kawaki wanted himself.
He pointed out Shikamaru was alive because of it, but Shikamaru remained focused on why Amado was so fixated on Kawaki's Kāma. Code emerged from a Claw Mark he had placed on Shikamaru, knocking him aside. He seized Amado, who informed him his intrusion would be detected, and was surprised by Code's knowledge on how the lifting of his power limiters worked. Shikamaru revealed he went to see Amado alone as a bait to Code, Amado looking over the cyborg case, realising his intent. Shikamaru commanded it awake, a reprogrammed Delta, who pinned Code down. Amado was shocked when Code brought Ada forth through a Claw Mark. He pointed out Shikamaru was alive because of it, but Shikamaru remained focused on why Amado was so fixated on Kawaki's Kāma. Code emerged from a Claw Mark he had placed on Shikamaru, knocking him aside. He seized Amado, who informed him his intrusion would be detected, and was surprised by Code's knowledge on how the lifting of his power limiters worked. Shikamaru revealed he went to see Amado alone as a bait to Code, Amado looking over the cyborg case, realising his intent. Shikamaru commanded it awake, a reprogrammed Delta, who pinned Code down. Amado was shocked when Code brought Ada forth through a Claw Mark.
Amado was terrified by Ada's presence, which Shikamaru noticed. Having realised something was amiss with Ada's presence, Shikamaru asked Ino to link him up with Amado, and asked about her abilities. Amado explained how her allure worked, and counselled him against resisting her, warning it might damage his mind. After Shikamaru broke released his Shadow Imitation Technique, Code began torturing Amado for his compliance. He was surprised to learn Ada liked Kawaki, and by Shikamaru's offer for her to join Konoha to tell him how she felt.
As Ada considered the offer, and voiced knowledge of the measures taken against her ability, Amado informed Shikamaru of her Senrigan through Ino's jutsu. Code continued to torture him, but when Ada revealed Kawaki was approaching, he revealed that Ōtsutsuki aren't affected by her allure. Amado and Shikamaru kept arguing until Code sent Amado back to their base through a Claw Mark. There, Amado begged to be spared, and removed Code's power limiters.
Despite Amado's compliance, Code still chose to kill him. However, Amado appealed to Ada's interest in Kawaki. He reasoned that her best chance of developing a relationship with Kawaki was to accept Shikamaru's offer to join Konoha. Her consideration of it led to a dissolution of her alliance with Code, as she had Daemon stop Code from killing Amado. After he retreated, he explained that Kawaki was his ace in Konoha, as no one was strong enough to stop him, while Amado applied a secret shutdown command, forcing them to rely on him to keep Kawaki in check.
Daemon pointed out he could deal with Kawaki, and while Amado considered it, his goal was different, and required Kawaki's Kāma. Explaining it would take a long time, and he suggested they go to Konoha, as he'd have to explain it to them as well, assuring the siblings he'd mediate their alliance as well. He called Shikamaru on the phone and updated him on what happened with Code, explaining the removal of the power limiters, and the dissolution of the alliance with Ada over her acceptance of his offer. He warned Shikamaru not to make Ada and Daemon into enemies.
After the call, Ada was displeased with referring to them as game pieces, and warned him to keep his word on helping her with Kawaki, otherwise Daemon would kill him. On the train to Konoha, he noticed her spying on something, getting progressively more flustered and finding Shikamaru's ideas interesting.
Upon arriving in Konoha, Ada quickly flew off with Daemon, surprising Shikamaru. Amado told him to expect Boruto and Kawaki to display the ability soon. Later, having contacted everyone at the house, Naruto joined Shikamaru as he intended to question Amado about everything he was still keeping from them. Amado detailed Ada's and Daemon's abilities, including their origins as transplanted shinjutsu from the remains of Shibai Ōtsutsuki. When Shikamaru asked how such an alleged god could have died when he had access to Kāma, Amado confessed he didn't know, and theorised that Shibai achieved a higher form of being that didn't require a physical body, choosing to discard it. He explained that his main motivation all along was the resurrection of his daughter, and revealed that he added her data to Kawaki's Kāma, so all he had to do was apply a Kāma to a cloned body he would provide.
Amado was offended when Shikamaru consulted Katasuke on the plausibility of his technological claims, and asked Ada to verify the story about Akebi. Shikamaru confirmed Akebi's personality with Ada, and found Amado's goal anti-climactic, but understood his motive as a parent. When Kawaki asked if the process would turn Akebi into an Ōtsutsuki, he admitted he didn't know, as there was no precedent for it, being his last resort.
When Kawaki was responsible for Naruto's and Hinata's disappearance, Sai updated Amado on the events as he learned about it, concerning Amado when Kawaki's noncooperation was brought up as a reason to use extreme measures. Amado tried to assuage the reactions against Kawaki by revealing to Shikamaru his installation of a shutdown command on Kawaki. Angry that Amado was still keeping secrets, he refused, stressing that Kawaki had done too much, and would be considered an enemy of Konoha if he didn't surrender. Ultimately, most of the world's memories of Boruto and Kawaki were swapped by Ada through Omnipotence, forcing Boruto to flee the village.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex[]
Over time, Amado came to notice discrepancies between reality and his memories. Despite remembering Boruto as the wielder of his daughter's Kāma, he recognised it in Kawaki's palm, along with his own scientific ninja tool work, deducing that someone had altered his memories and that Kawaki was the one whom he needed.
After Boruto's brief return to the village to protect it from Code's assault, Sumire asked why Amado wasn't more concerned about Boruto's well-being as he needed him to revive his daughter. Amado explained his theory about how his memories were altered. Sai, who had been ordered to monitor Amado, reported this to the Eighth Hokage.
Later, when Jura and Hidari attacked the village and Kawaki was swiftly defeated, Amado was monitoring the events and was wondering what are these humanoid God Tree beings. Later, after Boruto was captured during his aid to protect Konoha from the sentient God Trees' assault on the village, Amado listened in on the interrogation. Boruto explained what the man-like God Trees, intriguing Amado at how much the Ten-Tails can deviate from its primary and instinctual goal of harvesting a planet's energy to create Chakra Fruit.
After Boruto's escape from his interrogation, Amado eavesdropped on his conversation with Kawaki from the monitors via Kawaki's left eye. Amado was surprised when Boruto revealed to Kawaki that Amado was hiding the latter's abilities from him. As he wondered how Boruto knew this, Amado recalled how the toad Kawaki destroyed the other day was Koji's. Impressed that Koji was still alive, he wondered what the Sannin clone's motives were.
Abilities[]
Although a former Inner of Kara, Amado has no combat abilities whatsoever, unlike the other Inners, nor he is even a ninja. But instead he is a man with a very advanced intellect like no other in science and technology, his talents being large source for all Kara members, Inners and Outers. He does however have some skill in Yin Release, able to project an image of himself to talk with people from vast distances — even across dimensional planes.
Intelligence[]
Amado is extraordinary genius (Amado is an exceptionally intelligent man with exceedingly advanced knowledge in science and technology, with Kawaki describing him as a technological genius. His brilliance was even recognised by Isshiki, who sought him out for help in his plans. Even Katasuke Tōno, Konoha's lead scientist and a recognised genius himself, openly acknowledged Amado's talents as well beyond his own. While his true capabilities remain unknown, Amado is shown to be a very methodical and knowledgeable man. Well-prepared, he skilfully uses a variety of technology to prevail. He is also shown to be a proficient tactician and deceiver, planning several steps ahead, such as pretending to plant an explosive collar device on Shikadai to use him as a leverage to fool Shikamaru and Konoha. He also came up with a successful plan to force Isshiki Ōtsutsuki to reincarnate in Jigen's body and simultaneously remove Kawaki's Kāma, which even earned him Isshiki's praise. Likewise, Amado is adapt in seeing through deceptions, able to notice details that are out of place in a situation and determine the truth.
Scientific Ninja Tools[]
As head of Kara's research and development division, Amado has been credited with the development of all of its fearsome Shinobi-ware and cyborgs, including weapons that could counter an individual's regenerative abilities, devices that could absorb, store, and release absorbed ninjutsu, a powerful virus capable of incapacitating those who are exposed to it, and was even able to modify Kawaki, Delta, and Code down to the circulatory and nervous systems, implanting an extremely high level of Shinobi-Ware in the form of microscopic scientific ninja tools throughout their entire bodies. He single-handedly greatly augmented the various abilities of the Inners and likewise created cyborgs whose power exceeded Jigen, prompting him to order their immediate disposal. Amado managed to transplant Shibai's DNA to graft his shinjutsu onto others. With these capabilities, he also provided Jigen with the means to improve the chances of candidates being compatible with Kāma. His understanding of the Kāma even allowed him to recreate Isshiki's Kāma to implant on Kawaki after the extinguishing of Isshiki's soul. He could also clone humans. Using Jiraiya's DNA, he created a perfect clone the legendary Sannin in his prime in Koji Kashin. He also created a drug that weakens the Byakugan in the hopes of defeating Isshiki, and was useful in stopping Momoshiki from reincarnating in Boruto's body.
Trivia[]
- Like the rest of the Kara Inners, his name translates to "shutters" and might reference to Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., which is commonly abbreviated as AMD, the first three letters of his name.
