Business Ninpo: Caltrops (ビジネス忍法・撒火紙, Bijinesu Ninpō: Makibi Shi?, lit. Business Ninja-Art: Handing out Fire Papers) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Business Ninpo: Caltrops
Answer throws a business card like a shuriken with his front hand, aiming it diagonally towards the floor.

The Slash card is indicated by a (, Ichi?, lit. One) on the back of it and travels for 1/3 of the screen, while the Heavy Slash is indicated by a (, Ni?, lit. Two) and travels a little over 2/3 of the screen.

The card then glows with a green aura while stuck in the ground for 12 seconds, unless another card is set while the respective ones are still active, or if Answer uses either of the below follow-up attacks:
  • Business Ninpo: Under the Rug (ビジネス忍法・雲隠れ, Bijinesu Ninpō: Kumogakure?, lit. Business Ninja-Art: Vanishing into the Clouds) - Answer disappears into a puff of smoke, then reappears while holding his scarf in front of the screen like a cape.
  • Business Ninpo: Under the Bus (ビジネス忍法・覇権射忍, Bijinesu Ninpō: Haken Sha Nin?, lit. Business Ninja-Art: Hegemon's Sneak Shot) - Answer does a hand seal that summons a shadow clone with a ninja sword, jumping up a small distance for a rising slash before disappearing.

While both follow-ups can be used without needing to use Business Ninpo: Caltrops, their effects will not occur;

  • Under the Rug will have Answer disappear on the spot.
  • Under the Bus will only have Answer use the hand seal.

Savvy Ninpo: Request for Approval (インテリ忍法・麟技の書, Interi Ninpō: Ringi no Sho?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Shining Art of Calligraphy) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

While still on the phone, Answer swings his front hand down to create a seal on the floor, summoning a pair of glowing green scrolls that hover in the air. Where these scrolls go depend on the button pressed:
  • Punch - Both directly above Answer in a row.
  • Kick - Both in front of Answer in a row.
  • Slash - One in front of Answer, one slightly up.
  • Heavy Slash - One directly above answer, one in front of the opponent.

If Answer jumps into one of the seals, he takes its place, hovering in midair with a green glow - this becomes Savvy Ninpo: Seal of Approval (インテリ忍法・凡虚待, Interi Ninpō: Han Ko Matsu?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Common Empty Dependency).

While in Seal of Approval, Answer cannot move freely and can only stay in place for 2 seconds, though he can drop down by inputting DownDown, or by using the below follow-up attacks:
  • Savvy Ninpo: Data Logging (インテリ忍法・空蝉, Interi Ninpō: Utsusemi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Cicada Shell) - Answer hops up and creates a green glyph behind him for a brief moment. If hit during that time, he substitutes himself out, then drops down feet-first atop his opponent with his arms crossed.
  • Savvy Ninpo: Down the Ladder (インテリ忍法・雨降り, Interi Ninpō: Amakuderi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Rainfall) - Answer rapidly drops down feet-first. This pushes the opponent back on a normal hit, and causes a hard knockdown during a combo.
  • Savvy Ninpo: Stepping Down (インテリ忍法・疾脚, Interi Ninpō: Shikkyaku?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Quick Legs) - Answer disappears into smoke, then drops to the floor to do a slide kick with his front leg, tripping the opponent up.
  • Savvy Ninpo: Into my Office (インテリ忍法・迦汰蛇滝, Interi Ninpō: Ka Ta Da Taki?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Weeding out the Heavy Drinkers) - Answer leaps forward, swiping his rear hand down to slash his opponent overhead with a business card to push them back.
  • Savvy Ninpo: Safety Net (インテリ忍法・武者鎖火, Interi Ninpō: Musha Sabi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Warrior's Chained Fire) - Answer launches himself forward. Can be used to traverse between Seal of Approval points, and can be aimed with directional input.

Resshou (冽掌, Resshō?, lit. Cold Palm) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Resshou
Answer steps forward while thrusting both hands to either side of him. Unlike Chipp's version, Answer doesn't have ki infuse his front hand, nor does he use his whole palm - rather keeping his index & middle fingers up while curling his other fingers into his palm.

Furthermore, Answer's Resshou doesn't have the follow-ups like Chipp, but this version is marginally faster.

Savvy Ninpo: Data Logging (インテリ忍法・空蝉, Interi Ninpō: Utsusemi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Cicada Shell) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Savvy Ninpo: Data Logging
Answer hops up and creates a green glyph behind him for a brief moment, while holding the ends of his scarf in a circle. If he gets hit during that time, he substitutes himself out with either:
  • A wooden caricature doll of himself.
  • A sealed action figure of himself.
  • A plush doll of himself.
  • A tanuki plush that's wearing his spectacles & white tie.
  • A wooden caricature doll of Chipp.
  • A black log with a white tie and his spectacles.

After substituting out, Answer drops down feet-first atop his opponent with his arms crossed, pushing them back a small distance.

Savvy Ninpo: Tax Write-off (インテリ忍法・螢灯落とし, Interi Ninpō: Keihi Otoshi?, lit. Intellectual Ninja-Art: Firefly Lantern Drop) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Answer goes to grab his opponent. If he's within throwing range, he kicks his opponent up with his front leg while bending down, still on the phone. While his opponent's airborne, he teleports up to grab them by their waist, turns upside-down with them and rapidly spins around as they fall, driving the opponent head-first into the ground, burying them up to their waist before bursting out - all while Answer gets back on the phone.

When used in the air, Answer skips straight to the grab. Although neither version can be combo'd into, the aerial version of Tax Write-off can be done after Savvy Ninpo: Safety Net.

Dead Stock Ninpo: Firesale (デッドストック忍法・婆羅撒, Deddosutokku Ninpō: Baramaki?, lit. Dead Stock Ninja-Art: Brahman Strewing) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Answer throws his phone into the air, then takes out 10 of his business cards, setting them in a circle in front of him before summoning a Ryo-shaped shuriken that launches the business cards like bullets - which then launches itself towards his opponent as well.

Firesale can also be done in the air, though it skips the cinematic and the projectiles are aimed diagonally downwards.

Additionally, Firesale has a Burst version, which increases the damage output.

Business Ultimate Ninpo: All Hands (ビジネス奥義・塵芥旋術, Bijinesu Ōgi: Jinkai Senjutsu?, lit. Business Secret-Art: Trash-Turning Technique) was first introduced in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Answer charges at his opponent. If he connects, he spawns 3 shadow clones that all link arms to make a shuriken-shape, then spin towards the opponent as such, striking the opponent 11 times before disappearing off-screen for a moment, only for the real Answer to teleport back into the middle of the screen.

Summoner: The Basilisk (口寄せ・大型神陣, Kuchiyose: Ōgata Shinjin?, lit. Summoning: Large-Scale God Array) is Answer's first and only Instant Kill, first - and last appearing in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2.

Answer starts by summoning a red toad with a shuriken pendant on its chest, licking upwards to attack. If it connects, Answer bites his thumb to make it bleed - activating his summoning contract to a giant red snake with a white tie, which Answer summons via seal by slamming his thumb to the floor.

As he rides atop the snake, it bashes their opponent up 4 times. Once they reach apex, the snake launches itself up with its maw wide open, eating the opponent whole before disappearing.
