After witnessing Saitama's power during his fight with Tatsumaki, he nervously postpones the rematch and begins to respect Saitama for his immeasurable strength.[3]

Abilities and Powers
As an A-Class hero, Forte is a skilled and powerful fighter. His fighting style is based around the rhythm of his music.
However, his weakness is that he's not always aware of his surroundings due to playing music with his headphones on. His volume was loud enough to make car honks unnoticeable.
