Akabane Hayato's speed in the 40-yard dash, which is the standard for measuring foot speed in American football, is 4.5 seconds. The average high school student's speed is about 5 seconds, so it can be said that he is much faster than average. Furthermore, Akabane Hayato is a technical fighter who has a special technique called "Spider Poison" that allows him to pinpoint the moment when his opponent shifts their weight and knock them down.

Kaitani Riku can run 40 yards in 4.5 seconds, which is the same as Akabane Hayato's time.
