# Sosuke — Anime Apocalypse Ability

> Inspired by **Bleach — Sōsuke Aizen (inferred from in-game name; not yet Discord-attested)**.

**Tier:** B · **Rarity:** mythic
**Credibility:** verified · **As of:** 2026-05-13

## Kit

Signature: Kyōka Suigetsu-style illusion cuts. Skills — m1: 5/7 hits · z: 50×2 = 100 · x: 50 · c: 35+20 = 55 · g (mastered): 33×11 = 363 · v: not yet documented. Reliable mid-tier main for general progression.

## Notes

**Sosuke** is a B-tier general-progression ability with clean mid-range damage — solid for grinding from level ~50 to first Mythic roll, but eventually outclassed by the S-tier kits.

## IP attribution — pending Discord confirmation

The in-game name **Sosuke** is widely assumed to reference **Sōsuke Aizen** from *Bleach* (the deuteragonist captain who orchestrates the Soul Society arc), but this is **not yet directly attested** in the Discord channels reviewed for this site (`❔ faq`, _Best Traits on Abilities_, _Title Database_).

The Foong _Ability Base Damage_ thread (2026-05-12) documents Sosuke's complete 6-slot stat profile, but does not pair the in-game name with an explicit anime IP. This page treats the Aizen attribution as **inferred** until a Discord-attested IP confirmation appears.

## Base damage (Foong, 2026-05-12)

| Skill | Output |
|---|---|
| **m1** | 5 hits → 7 (mastered) |
| **z** | 50 × 2 = 100 |
| **x** | 50 |
| **c** | 35 + 20 = 55 |
| **g (mastered)** | 33 × 11 = **363** |
| **v** | Mastery-100 V-skill (not yet documented in Discord) |

Sosuke's `g` (33×11 = 363) sits comfortably above Nen Prodigy (300) and Zorro (200) — confirming the B-tier consensus placement (above starter abilities, below the A/S-tier offensive kits like Destructive Fists/Pride/Coyote).

## Recommended loadout

- **Mid-game progression**: Trait **Hunter** or **Reaper** · Pet Igris (Mythic) · Cosmetic Battle Suit when farmed
- **Title**: World Five > themed bonuses

## When to roll past Sosuke

Use Sosuke through Mastery 50–75, then transition to S-tier Mythic rolls (Pride / Shadow Monarch / Coyote) once you start farming for them. Sosuke is not a long-term main but is a clean stepping stone past starter-tier Zorro.

## Meta positioning

`docs/04-tier-list.md` §2.3.1 lists Sosuke as **B-tier** with the note "Reliable main" and verification from Beebom + FRVR + Tier 1 base dmg. Foong's three Meta Build tables (`docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.1.1 / §1.1.2 / §1.1.3) — Raid, Survival, Infinite — **never name Sosuke** in any mode's optimal weapon column. Rolasyum's trait-pairing matrix (`docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.2) does **not** assign Sosuke to either the Reaper Raid slot or the Flash Survival/Infinite slot.

The conflict log in `docs/04-tier-list.md` §3 explicitly separates Sosuke (Bleach Aizen ability, g = 363) from "Sasuke" (a trait named under the Per-Trait Upgrade Path in §1.6, where Foong / AE recommend "Goku & Sasuke: full damage upgrade"). Tier 2 sources sometimes write the names interchangeably; Tier 1 is consistent — Sosuke is an ability, Sasuke is a trait. Per `docs/04-tier-list.md` §5, the post-SBR+AOT meta has pushed Spin / Cid / Naoya past the B-tier band, so Sosuke remains a progression piece, not a long-term endgame slot.

## Trait synergies

The Tier 1 weapon-upgrade table (`docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.3, Lunatic 2026-05-05) flags Sosuke as one of the **two high-CD abilities** that retain a CD-leaning upgrade path even when traits are stacked:

| Trait | Recommended DMG / CD allocation |
|---|---|
| Base (no trait) | 4 DMG / 3 CD |
| [Reaper](/traits/reaper/) | 3 DMG / 4 CD (CD-leaning) |
| [Flash](/traits/flash/) | 5 DMG / 2 CD |

Per §1.3 Tier 1 regularity-extraction notes, **"Nen Prodigy / Sosuke 始终偏 CD"** — these two abilities are the only ones where the Reaper allocation tilts further toward CD (not damage) than the base allocation. The mechanism: Sosuke's kit relies on the c-slot (35 + 20 = 55) and z-slot (50 × 2 = 100) bookending the g-slot rotation; with CD bottlenecks unresolved, the high g-slot (363) sits idle. Flash's -20% CD baseline lets you afford a 5 DMG / 2 CD allocation; Reaper without enough CD slots is wasted on Sosuke.

## Synergies & comparison

- **Versus [King of Curses](/abilities/king-of-curses/)**: Sosuke (g = 363) edges King of Curses (g = 350) on the g-slot but lacks the title +5% DMG match. Both are roughly equivalent in raw output; King of Curses spams CD faster, Sosuke hits harder per cast.
- **Versus [Nen Prodigy](/abilities/nen-prodigy/)**: Sosuke beats Nen Prodigy (g = 300) on the g-slot and on the c-slot too. Same upgrade profile (Reaper CD-leaning, Flash DMG-leaning).
- **Versus S-tier upgrades**: when you roll [Pride](/abilities/pride/) (g = 910), [Shadow Monarch](/abilities/shadow-monarch/) (S via summon DPS), [Coyote](/abilities/coyote/) (g = 550 + Mastery 100 Cero), or [Saiyan](/abilities/saiyan/) (g = 1170 + revive passive), retire Sosuke.
- **Pet pick**: [Colossus Titan](/pets/colossus-titan/) (Foong's universal pick per `docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.1.4) provides +20% DMG and +25 HP — the DMG line directly multiplies Sosuke's g-slot.
- **Trait + title combo**: [Flash](/traits/flash/) trait + the ability-spin title for whichever Mythic you eventually roll. Sosuke does not have its own +5% DMG ability-spin title (the +5% list in `docs/04-tier-list.md` §1.4.2 names six abilities; Sosuke is not one of them).
