Nande Nande no Mi/Version 4.0 techniques

Version 4.0: Centurion
Centurion is an extremely powerful transformation Dimitri developed after redesigning and upgrading his cyborg components, in response to the growing threats from the Shikarite. Reasoning that while his attacking power, strength and agility had all improved greatly with training and upgrades, his defensive abilities were still lacking. Reasoning that his existing armour could not be improved due to being inside his body, Dimitri created version 4.0 with the idea of changing this fact.

Overview
Version 4.0 moves much of Dimitri’s internalised weapons and armour outside of his body, whereby they take on heavier and more formidable forms. This effectively converts Dimitri’s cyborg components into an imposing powered armour, resembling a mecha-like transformation. Being outside his body, the armour can then be made much bulkier and denser, easily capable of withstanding sustained weapons fire and powerful attacks. The armour also contains much more powerful servos, based loosely on Jaito Ren’s exoskeleton and powered limbs from pacifista, which allows Dimitri much greater physical strength. This, combined with the overall greater mass of his armour, also enables Dimitri to produce and wield heavier upgrades of any of his weapons, resulting in increased firepower.

The drawback of the Centurion form, principally, is that it increases Dimitri’s weight greatly, much like his previous version 3.0 transformation. With the weight distributed evenly around his body and combined with its own support frame, he avoids the issues with balance, but nevertheless the bulky armour can be cumbersome when moving, particularly in enclosed spaces. However, the increased defence of the form makes evasion all but obsolete, and the boosted firepower and brute force make up for the relatively minor losses. As a result, this form is a valuable asset under many circumstances.
