Fighting Style[]
Ankoku Karate, while not clearly defined, appears to be a perversely evil and forbidden form of Karate, granted by the demonic forces of darkness upon selling one's soul to evil. Ankoku Karate and Grant's attributes are suggestive of classic villainous traits within martial arts fiction and stories, with a focus purely on "hard" styles that utilize head on countering and direct confrontation, sheer brute strength, explosive speed, and to focus on pure physical attributes and "satsujinken", or "fists that kill", being the approach of instilling fear and tension to open weakness into one's foes to destroy them in a single hit. With such terrifying strength and might, due to its occult origins, such a martial art also has a mysteriously subtle but eldritch power or a netherworldly ki to its practitioners, almost making them more demon than man and whose power must even be carefully tread by other masters and experts of martial arts that face its style.
Grant is a power character with strong physical attack attributes. His normal attacks have long range and his special moves will take off a sizable chunk of the enemy's lifebar. In terms of his karate-style, he utilizes a focused-stance with a variety of ki-based attacks and with sudden bursts of speed.

Trivia[]
- According to the fan Q&A for the game, Grant has green eyes and white hair.
- Kain and Grant, while not brothers, were inspired by the Biblical Cain and Abel.
- Though the existence of demons and devils are definitely possible within the SNK Universe, it is possible Ankoku Karate could be granted by Orochi or specifically Those from the Past, who were also feared as devils and seek the destruction of humanity.
- Him taking a bullet to the heart is suggestive of the idea of the "price" or terms of conditions if one makes a deal with the devil, where in the devil's usury and twisted irony, the seller will always suffer unusual and cruel circumstances for their gain.
- Grant's reputation as a devil within urban legend due to the unusually high violence and terror that occurs due to his presence is further evocative of real world legend about demonic and satanic activity; it is believed unusually malevolent phenomena occurs if the presence of demonic or spiritual evil is around. Devils, or at least the enforcers of hell, are correlated with monstrous beings like ogres and giants, whose savage strength and indestructibility strikes terror by their imagery of their wrath easily mauling and ripping apart mortal men.
