Powers and abilities

  • Superhuman Physical Characteristics
  • Energy Manipulation (As the spirit energy that powers sorcery is basically life force, every human is capable of learning sorcery if one “work like a maniac at it”)
  • Acrobatics (Can jump the height of a 6 or 7 storey building, clashing with Chihiro along the way. Sojo performed a backflip off a multi-story building and landed on the road without sustaining any damage or injuries)
  • Extrasensory Perception (Sorcerers can sense the presence of others as well as their deaths. Stated that he could sense Chihiro’s bloodlust)
  • Master Swordsman (Sojo was highly proficient in the art of swordsmanship, easily keeping up with the attacks of Chihiro, a trained and seasoned swordsman himself, even being capable of blocking an attack from behind with his katana without needing to turn around and drove him back, surprising Chihiro. This was all done with only a week spent learning how to use Cloud Gouger, with Sojo himself stating he had yet to master the Enchanted Blade due to its significantly different performance in actual combat, making his bout with Chihiro, who had spent much longer learning how to use Enten, all the more impressive)
  • Enhanced Senses (Despite being distracted and not looking in the direction of the attack as it was coming from behind, Sojo was able to react to and block the incoming attack)
  • Accelerated Development (Within a week since he gain possession of Cloud Gouger, Sojo has hone his mind and body well enough to wield the enchanted blade, which is not something anybody can easily do even with three years)
  • Analytical Prediction (Despite Chihiro being able to move faster than him due to Nishiki, Sojo is capable of not only responding to his speed but even prepared a counterattack)
  • Supernatural Willpower (Even after being inflicted for a few seconds with a sorcerer’s sorcery that involves psychological induction that makes a person experiences several hours of trauma, Sojo was barely affected by it, even though the sorcerer stated that it is normal for those inflicted to be unable to stand up as was the case with Chihiro Rokuhira after 4 seconds)
  • Statistics Amplification and Energy Projection (The Enchanted Blade amplifies the spirit energy inside a person and whips it up into a hyper-concentrated form that the human body can no longer contain it. Once exposed, it takes on a shape, which for Cloud Gouger, it is a cloud shaped like Eastern dragon)
  • Reactive Evolution (Enchanted Blades are stated to have a true realm beyond the theoretical. This is because the limitations of its source material, Datenseki, can be completely transformed based on its wielder. As shown with Sojo, the more he utilize Cloud Gourger, the more he harmonizes with it, which resulted in the time limit after using a charged up Mei to be decreased. Sojo's knowledge of the "true realm" of Cloud Gouger allows him to remotely activate Mei from within a hundred meters by pre-charging Cloud Gouger before letting it go. Furthermore, Sojo's newfound knowledge allows him to use Mei as a lightning rod to draw himself to his stolen blade after having cloaked his body with electricity beforehand)
  • Electricity Manipulation (Via Mei. The attack is specifically stated to be a lightning bolt, as shown by it being able to transmit through conductors, such as water and metal, as well as be used for an electromagnetic blast)
  • Limited Durability Negation (His Mei are capable of inflicting damage to a person’s vitals)
  • Damage Boost (Uniquely, Cloud Gouger is also capable of 'charging' Mei through manifesting lightning around itself for several seconds before unleashing the attack, with more time spent charging corresponding to a greater buildup of power. Alternatively, Mei can be augmented by linking it with Kou, turning even a minimal Mei into a wide-ranging attack that is guaranteed to hit)
  • Light Manipulation (A full-powered Mei causes a blinding light to happen)
  • Statistics Amplification and Pseudo-flight (Instead of releasing the built-up Mei, Sojo applies the principle of Enten's Nishiki by cloaking himself in Mei, enabling him to perform tremendously powerful bursts of speeds akin to a lightning bolt. This technique also provides near flight capabilities)
  • Ice Manipulation (Via Yui and Ketsu)
  • Flash-Freezing (Upon stabbing his enemies, he can freeze them solid)
  • Damage Boost (By linking Yui with Kou, Sojo is capable of generating more ice than he would normally be capable of)
  • Water Manipulation and Smoke Manipulation (Via Kou)
  • Stealth Mastery (By using Kou, Sojo is able to conceal his presence and vanish from approaching enemies)

Weaknesses

It takes ten to twenty seconds for Cloud Gouger to recharge after a high-powered Mei. However, this period has been notably reduced after Sojo harmonizes with Cloud Gouger. After using Cloaking Amplification, Sojo will be rendered incapacitated, due to the strain it places on his body.

Ranked #11 of 20 in Kagurabachi by strength.
