Weaknesses
Uncontrollable Powers: When the limiter devices on his head are removed, even for a second, Kusuo himself is knocked unconscious and even after waking up, he is unable to control the muscles in his entire body. Worse, his mind control powers are not controllable either. He states that his powers will wreak havoc onto the entire world and cannot be stopped by even him.

Germanium: Even though Kusuo does not consider this a weakness, he is unable to use his telepathic powers when in contact with the element germanium. However, he is unable to react when wearing a germanium ring he found, which unsettles him because everyone turns into a Nendou-like being to Kusuo where he is unable to read their minds and figure out their actions.
