Tabe, as well as the other members of the Eight Expendables, is a hopeless people who have lost his dignity and no longer see any purpose in continuing to live, thus he is completely devoted to Shie Hassaikai and is not afraid of giving away his lives for the group.

Trivia

 * Soramitsu's name is a homonym for the stem of the Japanese verb "to eat", "taberu".
 * Soramitsu seems to represent a corruption of the sixth tenet of the real eight precepts of Buddhism: only eat at the proper time (that is, after sunrise, but before noon).
