It takes a special kind of skill to adapt to a whole new method of traversal. The Survey Corps trains its scouts for years on how to effectively use their gravity-defying Omni-Directional Mobility gear, but is it possible that some characters would already have the relevant skills or experience to pick it up without that training?
Traveling through the air like Spider-Man is no easy feat, but with the right set of experience or skills that can translate over, it's far from impossible. That might mean having the requisite strength to handle a mechanical augmentation, or it could also mean having superhuman agility.
10 Suzaku Kururugi's Kicks Would Gain A New Dimension (Code Geass)
Code Geass viewers knew that a few things were absolute about its story. Plot twists were bound to happen, and Suzaku Kururugi was going to perform gravity-defying spin kicks at every opportunity. The pilot of the Lancelot Knightmare frame is more agile than a cat, and likely spends more time in the air than on the ground when it comes to hand-to-hand battles. If anyone's natural abilities could be enhanced by the addition of ODM gear, Suzaku would be at the top of that list.
9 Hanta Sero Could Be Even More Like Spider-Man (My Hero Academia)
Hanta Sero's Quirk lets him expel sticky tape from his elbows, letting him capture his enemies or swing around environments like a young Spider-Man. With his hero training at U.A. High School and his unfortunate run-ins with the League of Villains during their attacks, Sero has had to make the best of his own abilities in a short time. As an aspiring hero who is already well versed in traveling through the air by swinging from rope-like devices, Sero could easily adapt to the intricacies of ODM gear.
8 Shoyo Hintata Can Reach For The Top (Haikyuu!!)
When it comes to a contest of height, Shoyo Hinata usually loses. However, when it comes down to his ability to jump, he might just be unrivaled. Hinata spends ample time flying above the volleyball net as he constantly jumps with all his might to reach heights that no one could reasonably expect from someone of his stature.
Such jumping ability would prove invaluable when maneuvering with ODM gear. Whether he's launching himself off the ground or off the sides of buildings, he would be making the best of his opportunity to reach newfound heights.
7 Joe Knows All About Movement Enhancing Gadgets (Megalo Box)
When it comes to using technology to augment one's one body, there might be no one more experienced than Joe. After climbing to the top of the Megalo Box world without a Gear, Joe learned exactly what it takes to be able to win against opponents with every mechanical advantage. Beyond that, he's an expert at using Gears to enhance his own strength in the ring and it's doubtless that his skill in doing so would translate perfectly into wielding ODM gear at its full potential.
6 Thorfinn Knows How Useful Aerial Combat Is (Vinland Saga)
Soldiers in the Viking era were not used to unusual styles of attack, and this is an area in which young Thorfinn specializes. The son of Thors made a name for himself as a vicious fighter wielding small blades and using his athletic ability to get the literal jump on his enemies. Whether that's jumping high to avoid the attacks of a giant like Thorkell, or jumping across a treacherous moat to surprise-attack foes where they least expect it.
5 Reg Can Explore Without Limits (Made In Abyss)
Not much is known about the small robot that emerged from the Abyss, other than the fact that he is beyond the understanding of most cave raiders. Reg's robotic body is extremely durable, and his extendable arm has been used to traverse dizzying heights on multiple occasions.
That's not all. He's also come up against gigantic foes that would rival the proverbial Titans in how terrifying they can be, meaning that Reg would understand the value of ODM gear when it comes to escaping.
4 Vivy Performs Feats Of Daring For Breakfast (Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song)
Vivy is an android tasked with preventing a cataclysmic future from occurring. Her metallic body and artificial intelligence allow her to instantly download the skills needed to adapt to any situation. That might mean martial arts expertise or using her durability to perform inhuman feats of strength such as jumping between crumbling buildings. Not only does she have high flying experience and physical durability, but her AI brain could analyze the knowledge needed to excel at using ODM gear.
3 Celty Uses Her Bike Like ODM Gear Already (Durarara!!)
No one quite handles a motorcycle like the headless rider herself, Celty Sturluson. The myth turned urban legend is often seen escaping from the law on her trusty ride, and even performing unbelievable maneuvers such as jumping over vehicles and riding up the sides of buildings. Someone so accustomed to high-speed chases and traveling around tall buildings would take to ODM gear without missing a beat, and her skill with handling her large motorcycle could translate over well.
2 Kirito Is Capable Of Anything (Sword Art Online)
Ever since he first put on that fateful NerveGear VR headset, Kirigaya Kazuto, aka Kirito, has proven time and again that he can adapt to almost anything life throws at him. Nobody thought it was possible to dual wield or to climb the floors of Aincrad as a solo player, but Kirito made a name for himself accomplishing the impossible.
With a new piece of technology like ODM gear at his disposal, there may be no limits to the creative ways that Kirito could find to attack his enemies.
1 Mumei Will Use Everything To Survive (Kabaneri Of The Iron Fortress)
As the leader of the hunters, Mumei is granted access to superhuman abilities that often see her being nimble enough to leap across rooftops and engage with zombie-like monsters in melee combat. With her augmented strength, she could handily manage the reigns of ODM gear, while her speed and reflexes would give her unparalleled control while traversing deadly locales. With ODM gear in tow, Mumemi could even be a match for Levi Ackerman.
