Powers and abilities

  • Basic Sorcerer Abilities, Kensei Swordsmanship & Mimicry ( Samura states that Akemura's swordsmanship is peerless, further iterating to Chihiro that his skill with the sword is unparalleled and he could instantly Master the unorthodox White Purity Style if he wanted to. Bested Samura in raw swordsmanship during their battle and with a single Iai strike cut down Samura. His swordsmanship is able to best the White Purity Style on equal footing. )
  • Superhuman Physical Stamina (Can move fine despite sitting still for 18 years on the most bare of sustenance)
  • Acrobatics (Performed a 360-degree flip mid-sword thrust to gain leverage and slice Samura.)
  • Greater Supernatural Willpower & Accelerated Development (Akemura's feat of wiping out the Shokoku island caused him to be regarded as insane as the power he suddenly demonstrated was deemed an impossibility. Insanity grants an immense boost in power as shown with Hagiwara, yet it is later revealed that Akemura was perfectly sane and the Malediction was a result of his immense willpower and conviction with a sane mind. His mental fortitude and beliefs are so ironclad that he sustained the "Malediction" on Shokoku even after 18 years, a sign that his bloodlust and conviction had not waned even despite being resigned to die in his imprisonment)
  • Shinuchi Abilities
  • Statistics Amplification, Energy Projection, Aura, Summoning & Animal Manipulation ( The Magatsumi's Spirit Energy reaction has been shown to take on multiple forms: a black ooze, massive butterfly wings, a centipede-like form, a spider-web, a field of flowers, etc.. Chihiro states the energy may take upon an infinite number of forms.)
  • Summoning (Similar to Yura, who was able to unwrap the seals of Magatsumi from a remote distance and summon his Enchanted Blade through its flowers, Akemura should be able to do the same.)
  • Passive Life Absorption via Aura and Death Manipulation (Organisms and Plants; The innate powers of the Magatsumi are to manipulate life itself. Any life including plants within Akemura's vicinity will rapidly be drained of life force and die, flowers will also begin to sprout from their bodies.)
  • Enhanced Statistics Amplification, Immortality (Types 2, 3 & 8), Regeneration (At least High-Low) & Statistics Reduction (The Magatsumi lets its users survive mortal wounds indefinitely. The stolen life force is bestowed to the user raising all their physical abilities and granting regeneration, granting proxy wielders sufficient fortitude to continue battling far longer than they otherwise would. Healed Yura's cut-through shoulder instantly.)
  • Power Nullification (The Shin'uchi's power causes an interference with the Core Station Barrier's making the Vessel unable to detect enemies within the barrier.)
  • Regeneration & Immortality Negation (Stated that his blade can take Samura's life in spite of Suzaku, nullifying his regenerative capacity by stealing his vitality directly.)
  • Layered Life Absorption, Biological, Plant & Death Manipulation via the Magatsumi's blade (Direct contact with the Magatsumi's blade bypasses Nishiki's protection which completely nullifies its Life Drain Aura. Yura uses contact with the blade to incapacitate Azami who could resist his own degree of the life draining aura.)
  • Black Power (The Magatsumi allows Akemura wield this form of spirit energy far greater than ordinary on a constant due to its ability to consume life directly.)
  • Flight (Akemura can levitate through the air)
  • Deconstruction & Telekinesis (The Black Power of the Magatsumi causes things within its surroundings to pulverize, alongside being able to suspend his blade, debris and even entire buildings in the air.)
  • Status Effect Inducement & Paralysis with Spider (Summons markings that cause the target to be immobilized)
  • Invisible Energy Projection with Dragonfly (Forms 4 Dragonfly wing-like shapes at the pointed end of the sword, firing an invisible blast that perforates through its target. Kyoura's usage spreads the range of the flower fields alongside it; Yura's usage allowed him to take out Azami's hands in projected slashes and later his arm in a perforating )
  • Greater Invisible Energy Projection with Bee (Summons a set of massive rings before launching a powerful piercing attack of concentrated force at a single point.)
  • Invisible Energy Projection, Spatial Manipulation & Durability Negation with Butterfly (Summons a single butterfly that quicker than even instantaneously cuts through the space in front of the blade's swing)
  • Shockwave Generation, Danmaku; Omnidirectional & Limited Durability Negation with Centipede (Creates a centipede-like structure that releases into a powerful blast around the user, creating shockwaves that run through target bodies.)
  • Enhanced Life Absorption, Biological, Plant & Death Manipulation with Malediction (The Malediction is the Magatsumi's lifesteal given direction using Akemura's Bloodlust, exponentially magnifying the effects to which Akemura used to wipe out the small nation of 200,000 inhabitants on Shokoku. Directed all of its power on Samura, forcing him to concentrate his Black Flames on himself to survive)
  • Greater Power Nullification, Regeneration & Immortality Negation (By aiming the Malediction solely on Black State Samura, he was able to nullify his amplified Suzaku leaving no power left to heal despite Black State Tobimune having a higher power output than the Magatsumi)
  • Biological Manipulation, Immortality (Type 6 via Possession), Mind Manipulation & Corruption (Type 1; Akemura can invade the minds and possess the bodies of proxies who wield the Magatsumi's power in a process called "Encroachment", either to consume both the individuals and their abilities or to commune with them. This invasion involves overriding the proxy's nervous system and can be halted at will. .)
  • Telepathy (He was able to converse with Yura about the outside world from his dungeon.)
  • Clairvoyance & Information Analysis (He was aware of Enchanted Blades moving about, and could sense the area around the Shin'uchi's sealed box. Yura can sense the area around Akemura, which Akemura should also be capable of)
  • Biological Manipulation & Shapeshifting (Upon completing the encroachment of the Magatsumi on its proxy wielders, Akemura is able to transform proxy bodies into his own as a means to escape confinement or cheat death for his own goals)
  • Body Puppetry (Controlled Yura's body like a ragdoll before fully possessing him.)
  • Self-Sustenance (Type 3; Has been stated to have sat in a single position for 18 years straight on minimal nutrition)
  • Resistance to Madness Manipulation (Akemura is also able to keep sane even after 18 years straight in a sensory vacuum, Yura deducts that any ordinary mind would have long gone insane under such conditions.)
  • Resistance to Power Nullification (His power continued to encroach upon Yura despite two Suzaku's from Chihiro and Samura further increasing the firepower and eventually completed the encroaching process.)
  • Resistance to Vibration Manipulation (Unfazed by the Shockwaves dispersing debris in the vicinity from Samura's Iai)
  • Resistance to Heat & Fire Manipulation (Can withstand the heat of Black Power Samura's Iai, which melted and vaporized steel and concrete debris in their vicinity. Stood in Suzaku's Maximum Firepower with no issue.)

Weaknesses

According to Uruha, Yura's Centipede shockwaves are weaker at a point behind the user and has an unknown cooldown interval. It is unlikely this limitation applies to the Sword Saint.

Ranked #1 of 20 in Kagurabachi by strength.
