Ribs Blades ( リブス・ブレード, Ribusu Burēdo, also called Open Ribs 露骨な肋骨 Rokotsu na Rokkotsu): Santana is able to control his ribs, each of them capable of spinning and moving in any direction.Due to the psychoactive toxin produced by the Pillar Man's cells during this process, those whose bodies are invaded by Santana describe the sensation as wonderful. Only those who use Ripple are immune as the cells recognize the threat the energy poses to them. Santana also displayed this ability through forcing himself into a person's body, controlling their movement while gradually eating them from the inside-out.



During his initial emergence from the pillar, he was seen using his nose to scout out the area. Enhanced Sensory: As an advanced being, Santana's senses are much higher than that of a human.While much younger and not as experienced, Santana has demonstrated several techniques similar to ones used by those in Kars' group, as well as some of his own. He began to threaten Joseph when he tried to impede his escape and only felt true fear when he was turned to stone by the sun.Īs a Pillar Man, Santana is capable of performing the most basic abilities of one. When Joseph exasperated him with his antics, he lost his calm and began to insult him. Like all Pillar Men, Santana is dismissive of humans, comparing them to primitive animals capable of using only tricks and games. Even when exposed to sunlight, Santana kept calm and used Stroheim as a shield against it. When he's exposed to Joseph's Ripple for the first time, Santana remains unfazed and experiments with it a little. Santana initially has a detached attitude toward everything around him, not caring for the humans and calmly escaping his prison. It is implied by Kars that his role in his group as a guard dog was to keep the power and origin of the Stone Mask a secret from future generations of humans. Also, like the other Pillar Men, he is shown to be very intelligent, capable of disassembling weapons far ahead of his time, and of learning other languages from only moments of exposure to them. Santana is, like his brethren, violent, and aloof. He has a painted or tattooed symbol on his right lower eyelid shaped like a gear. Santana looks like a tall and muscular man possessing long, fair hair and two small horns at the top of his head.
