He didn't always have intentions on learning Mantis Shrimp Sage Mode, but a few years after creating his signature Mantis Shrimp Style, based off the study of the Mantis Shrimp, be bacame interested and had asked his father if such a sage mode existed, to which Kana replied Yes, so he went in search of it where his father instructed him to go. The Master Shrimp decided to teach it to Ace because the others were away at the time, and plus theres nothing like learning from the best, ya know?

He never knew Sage Mode, but has heard of it, and is familiar with Natural Energy, so he decided to learn a unique form of it.
