Gaijou Hoshizora/Non-Canon

Gaijou Hoshizora (星空・凱情 Hoshizora Gaijō lit Victory Passion of Starlight) is a powerful being who settles in Amanogawa City after suffering a nasty case of amnesia. She is called the "crisis from the sky" (空から来た厄災, Sora kara kita yakusai, Disaster which came from the sky) by others, for unknown reasons. What should be noted that although Gaijou appears feminine its gender is ambiguous at best as it is an extra-terrestrial lifeform—though for simplicity, she is referred to with female pronouns; while there have been hints toward Gaijou's sex in both directions, nothing definitive has been presented. She is considered a dark god by early mankind; while she was not actually the evil god of Zoroastrianism, her experiences in her past turned her into All the World's Evils.

Appearance
Gaijou has long silvery-white hair and blue eyes, with frayed bangs that are somewhat messy in appearance. Her hair is subtly splayed out in all directions at the ends, reaching down to her waist; several large clumps of hair stick out, some curling away horizontally. Her bangs frame her face, though they have two 'layers', with the behind layers falling to rest upon her chest. There are a few locks of hair kept in the middle of her forehead, there is a slim curled forelock of hair at the top of her head. Gaijou's skin is also said to be so white and smooth that it appears almost like she's made of porcelain; her facial features are very child-like. She also has heat radiators and various sensors on each side of her head; these appear as her hair accessories.

For attire, Gaijou wears a dress that resembles a cross between an apron and a sweater, with loose sleeves and a frilly bodice. Inside, her inner suit has an upper garment that is designed to look like a tube top.

Gender
Gaijou is presented as having an ambiguous sex, and although hints are given to identify the gender, nothing has ever stated it exactly. It is important to note that Gaijou refers to himself/herself with male pronouns; and Gai and his friends, with the exception of Kagirinai Nagareboshi, do the same. Also, Kazuma, as the Soul King, refers to Gaijou as "my child", never referring something more specific as "son" or "daughter". For simplicity's sake, all information regarding Gaijou on this article refers to him/her with female pronouns.

Personality and Traits
While seemingly quiet, Gaijou is rather snappish and can be quite the cynic; though over time, her personality has become calmer, mature, and philosophical. She often acts in a fashion which would best be described as being that of the reluctant hero; this is due to Gaijou not viewing herself as a leader type, being a mere warrior, often leaving leadership decisions to others. She is also level-headed when it comes to fighting. Even in disastrous situations, she does not seem to lose her cool and can think of a strategy. In conversation, on the rare times that she participates in it, Gaijou has extreme difficulty reading the atmosphere in situations and usually just speaks out what comes to mind in her usual deadpan tone, sometimes making others surprised at her actions.

Gaijou often misinterprets what others say and takes some things literally; this usually results in others becoming briefly alienated and Gaijou feeling ashamed for her horrible social skills, which she constantly attempts to improve so that she can feel the same as everyone else. She is also able to forgive easily. Gaijou generally attempts to keep her cool under most circumstances, and no matter what her enemies ever do to her, she can sometimes come up with a retort to it of questionable quality. Gaijou can seem at times to be uncaring or even callous, but actually has a very strong sense of justice and prefers to fight fairly; though she is not afraid to take the law into her own hands.

With a devil-may-care attitude in terms of recklessness, she can be rightfully selfish on occasion, but is selfless enough to do what's right. Throughout the series, Gaijou is presented as the type to not just let things happen, to twiddle her thumbs and wait when there's something about herself she doesn't comprehend. She constantly rebels against what he's told is her "place" and is a strongly independent individual. On the other hand, Gaijou tends to be ironically melancholy and stoic, solemn and distracted, especially as she comes to realize the truth about herself, and in other points when she's confused and lost.

Gaijou is also a dishonest wildcard and a whimsical individual who, although knowing the basics of the modern era, does not seem to know about social norms. She has little regard for most beings, seeing them for their flaws, with her friends being some of the few exceptions. She also believes that she has the right to get whatever she wants and vehemently detests having to give something away if there's no benefit for her. However, she can become cunning, ruthless, and pragmatic if the situation requires. She will go to any length to ensure that she comes out the victor in anything that interests her, even going as far as to demand "a second round" constantly. Despite this, she is slothful and childish, due to the nature of her upbringing; and she knows nothing of the world or how to interact with others, being likened to an "internet troll".

However, Gaijou does indeed have a darker side; she dislikes her friends close to others, showing signs of extreme clinginess, masking her darker side that is of a ruthless and cold woman who has little if any problem in using others for her ends, and will resort to cruel and mostly violent methods that most of the time end in bloody deaths. However, underneath all of this, what Gaijou values the most of all is love, being fixated on receiving romantic and unconditional love. Once she receives even a small amount of attention, she makes damn sure that she can keep the attention of the person who gave her such a thing; to the point of being obsessive and clingy. If it weren't for the fact that she can dish out for worse, one could say that love makes Gaijou masochistic.

She additionally enjoys fighting, shown when she sometimes doesn't fight at her full potential so she can toy with her opponent or make a fight last longer. At times, Gaijou gets bored with fighting weak opponents and finds entertainment in fighting strong opponents who will give her a challenge. Even so, Gaijou can incredibly flippant, casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of opponents, and she generally enjoys rubbing people the wrong way. Gaijou can be serious when the situation calls for it, but she still maintains a fairly laid-back demeanor during such situations and is never without a witty taunt or comeback. It is amusing to note that even though Gaijou does mature as time goes by, but never really loses her attitude. Even despite her seriousness, she does show off as, on several occasions, she performs exaggerated and over-the-top moves.

History
Gaijou was originally created as the finest and most powerful of a series of synthetic warriors that could copy abilities of others, more than four thousand years prior to the series by an ancient civilization of aliens, with the purpose of aiding them in conquering the ancient world. During her brief time yet meaningful with this ancient civilization of aliens, Gaijou had managed to acquire immense amounts of data on combat and the weaponry of that age, using it to become transcendental.

With her creation however, the aliens had become so powerful that they caught the attention of a supposed 'god', who transported the entire race and warrior army into an alternate dimension, supposedly to be never seen again. Gaijou however, somehow managed to escape imprisonment, being the only one from the group to do so. As the aliens faded into legend, history came to regard Gaijou as the one who destroyed that civilization, and Gaijou was lost in space.

Approximately two thousand years before the main events of the story, Gaijou's first form landed on the planet, having traveled through space on a meteor. The impact created a giant wound on the surface that would come to be known as Amanogawa City by the current timeline. This beast emerged from the crater and approached the original race using its mimic abilities to destroy them. Those who were taken victim were infected with the beast's cells and mutated into monsters. The beast would take the form of the fallen beings, and so get close enough to destroy their loved ones.

The beast destroyed most of the original civilization. Their descendants, the humans, hid from the beast while the original race were nearly wiped out, wherein the few originators who survived banded together to defeat the beast and quarantined it inside the crater where it would lie dormant for thousands of years. Despite their victory over the "Calamity from the Skies"' the original civilization was lost, and their numbers dwindled down to almost nothing while humans spread over the world. As time wore on humanity forgot about these events; as the beast slowly regressed into its current form; the Gaijou Hoshizora seen currently.

After this, she slowly intermingled with society once more—ancient, however. She lived peacefully, until one day, she used her fantastic powers in public by accident when attempting to save a young girl in a robbery, and she was accused of being a witch. Because of this, she forced to reveal her true form—leading the villages to label her as the source of all evil in the world, leading her to be tortured and sacrificed in the following rituals. The villagers believed that from the moment humans are born, there is evil in them. Since it was impossible to be freed from malice just through clean, righteous living, the only way to realize the true goodness of human beings was to force all the evils of the world onto one person and blame her as the true source of any human evil. If one person embodies all the evils of the world, the rest of the people cannot be evil, no matter what; this was the foolish logic they loved.

So they continuously tortured her until she went insane. They captured her, beat her, carved every word that cursed mankind onto her body, forced every sin imaginable upon her, took out bits and pieces of her slowly, defiled her mind with absolute evil, and held her responsible for all of it in the world. They would not allow her to die until she succumbed to old age. She had a curse put on her as a result, one made of the great evil that she was to represent. She was shocked at first at the senselessness of it at all. Eventually she started wondering who it was she should hate. However, Gaijou herself only felt anger and hatred towards the world and the people that mercilessly executed her. Her forced sacrifice eased the confused minds of her people, which despite being unintentional, made her something resembling heroic.

She only despised mankind of her own accord during the first few years, but after that, the hate became a natural function for her rather than an emotion; hate was the state she was always in, so it was only natural for her to continue hating everything without any other reason. By that time, she forgave and tolerated humanity for whatever sins they may cause while hating them. The world is worth hating. The imbalances were evened out by her hatred, so the people could be absolved of all guilt and live freely. But that kind of "forgiveness" is also the same type that validates any evils that humans may perform.

Yet as the time passed by and she saw many rises and fall of generations, she realized that while she still hated humans for what they did, she still loved the world. Of course, the people that put her up there, her family, her loved ones, the people she hated, died long before she did. The village changed over the generations, expanding, declining; people reviled her, people feared her, people scorned her, and yet they revered her as the sign of their salvation. But she could do nothing but hate, since that was the only thing she could communicate to the world. In the end, she accepted her role for humanity, even if it meant to be the blame for their wrongdoings.

A helpless sacrifice—a retired beast—that transformed into exactly what they wanted, that was determined to be and came to represent all evils of the world. And thus, hated by everyone and losing herself, the current Gaijou Hoshizora eventually returned to life after three days, leaving unbeknownst to anyone to retreat into the edges of the world to live peacefully; only rising to the occasion in that she would be needed to protect this world once more; not as a sacrifice this time, but as a defender of mankind.

Equipment
Rosary of Oblivion (忘却の念珠, Bōkyaku no Nenju): The Rosary of Oblivion is a special item that the original race crafted using thunder-bolt iron, nethicite, and energy-suppressing stone; the reason for its existence is to seal away Gaijou's horrifying true form—and indeed, a portion of her power. The rosary works by using the Rosary to bestow upon her several levels of restriction and seven corresponding states, with lower numbers meaning greater levels of power. Under certain circumstances, Gaijou can release some of her greater powers herself; by temporarily breaking the restraining issue the rosary forces upon her. Gaijou often declares what level she is releasing in combat, which is a requirement of the release mechanism; additionally, it unnerves her opponents as she enters battle with them. Even without any levels released, Gaijou is capable of shredding highly powerful opponents effortlessly; with the strongest of warriors being the only people able to threaten her.

Clarent (幻想大剣天魔失墜 (クラレント, Kurarento), Japanese for Phantasmal Greatsword, Downfall of the Sky Demon): The Clarent is Gaijou's weapon of choice when trying to hide her true nature as an extraterrestrial being. It is a two-handed, golden greatsword with a green jewel embedded in the hilt that boasts a magnificence and enormity possible only for weapons tended to by inhuman hands. The blade of Clarent is reinforced by a powerful alternating current and resonates at extremely high frequencies. This oscillation weakens the molecular bonds of anything it cuts, thereby increasing its cutting ability. Striking, cutting, and thrusting attacks are performed with the blade, with the sharpened edge and point used for lethal attacks, and the blunt edge used as a clubbing weapon. It can also be superheated from friction to be hot enough to sear anything that it comes into contact with. Clarent was able to cleave through diamond and even energy blasts effortlessly; and on one occasion, she was capable of using the cold steel of the sword to absorb an energy blast before returning it to sender via another swing of the blade. Despite this property, it is confirmed that Clarent is indeed merely just a powerful sword and nothing more, nothing less. When using the rifle as the sheathe, it can launch from its "sheathe" at the press of a trigger, making her strikes ten times more deadly, and can also be linked to its sheathe via chain so it can swing through enemies and come back to Gaijou.
 * Sheath-Gun of Clarent: The sheath of Clarent is in the form of a powerful-looking rifle; the rifle's lock and barrel is gray while the stock is a dark red. The stock itself is rather longer when compared to the barrel and lock. As the sword covers and blocks the barrel of the rifle, it is unable to fire normally unless the sword has been unsheathed. Although it is small and light weight, the rifle component is capable of fully automatic fire. The sheathe of Clarent has the slightly more mundane use of making its cutting force even higher at the press of a button due to pressurized air in the sheathe.

Hand-to-Hand Combat
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Obviously, the art of hand-to-hand combat is not Gaijou's forte—being a sword girl and all—but notably, she at least has a fair amount of skill in the area. Her incredible skill in the art is drastically enhanced by her inherent immense strength, giving her the ability to unleash devastating blows with ease. Noticeably, Gaijou's favoured manner of close combat is by using powerful kicks to devastate her foes; Gaijou's fighting style is freestyle and improvised; it follows no particular code of honor at all, and so if necessary, she will actually attack women, hit below the belt, attack even if her opponents have their backs turned on her or are otherwise unprepared or unsuspecting, use opponents as human shields or even bite her opponents. While fighting, Gaijou can also think on the spot, and come up with creative counterattacks against her enemies. Most of Gaijou's combat moves focuses on using graceful and delicate movements, similar to ballet moves, to strike precise and hard blows at her opponents. When attacking, she tends to use her feet when launching physical blows. Gaijou's strength originates from her psychic powers and relies heavily on their execution. By using her psychic powers in conjuring with her moves, Gaijou can create unique and dynamic attacks that deal destructive damage on her targets, making her a fierce force to be reckoned with in combat. Her fighting style is mostly based on breakdancing -it's something only her mind could come up with - taking bits and pieces from all forms of martial arts and making up the rest as she fights her opponents, make her a force to be reckoned with although it resembles capoeira. Gaijou also has a tendency to parry attacks with the crevice within her high heels; her moves become increasingly erratic and unique as her opponents are more powerful. The strikes come from the outside to the inside, the swinging arms changing direction using the elbow as the fulcrum to strike from impossible directions. She can easily strike the back of the head from a very close distance completely unbeknownst to the target. With her fighting style, she is capable of dealing a blow to the temple that would crush a man's skull.
 * Avalark Ryūsei Ken (アヴァラーク流星拳, Avalark Meteor Fist): Her signature technique; taught to her by Gai Nagareboshi; Gaijou changes the passion of her courage into light that surges in her firsts; this expands outwards in the form of light that surround her fists, becoming visible through the sheer amount of energy there is, which intensify exponentially to the point that it appears that it has taken upon the form of a phoenix's head. The high concentration of light produces a sound that is similar to that of a scream of an eagle's cry. There, she suddenly makes the position of the stars of the phoenix constellation. She then delivers a series of fierce punches, which move at speeds which they can no longer be seen, leaving only jet streams in their place—the punches are shining by her courage, so much so that it appears as if they were miniature meteors, capable of striking the foe over a thousand times a second, and they are capable of attacking the foe over long distances. If Gaijou has a full amount of energy, more fists may strike, until they reach the speed of light. The fists land so fast that, after a volley, they seemingly connect simultaneously. The massive circles of air bursts from the punches surrounding Gaijou resemble actual meteors.
 * Avalark Suisei Ken (ペガサス彗星拳, Avalark Comet Fist): A variant of Avalark Ryūsei Ken; Gaijou concentrates the force of a hundred meteors in her fist, manifesting a comet of immense power; and there, she throws herself against the opponent before swinging her fist forwards, releasing the comet in the form of an enormous pulsating and highly powerful sphere of energy that also has the likeness of a comet, blasting her foe with extreme force. Avalark Suisei Ken has the potential to deal overwhelming damage; as it reacts with the energy generators in a foe's limbs and counter-spins them, thus causing their defenses to weaken at the moment of impact. Despite it's tremendous power, Gaijou rarely, if ever utilizes Avalark Suisei Ken, saving it for times of extreme hardship and despair.
 * Avalark Ryūsei Ken Kiseki (アヴァラーク流星拳奇跡, Avalark Meteor Fist: Miracle): Avalark Ryūsei Ken Kiseki is a divine-powered version of the regular Avalark Ryūsei Ken; undergoing the normal movements for the technique, Gaijou delivers a series of incredibly powerful and fierce punches, with her fists moving so fast that they reach the speed of light, appearing as miniature meteors. The punches' power is so gigantic that they release an energy similar to the explosion that gave birth to the universe, the Big Bang. Hitting the opponent millions of times, the opponent is helpless to Gaijou's fierce onslaught. Avalark Ryūsei Ken Kiseki focuses solely on overwhelming offense, and it is achieved by combining dark and light elements combined with the other five elements (Fire, wind, thunder, earth, water). What should be noted that the meteors of the technique are a roaring bright orange instead of the regular light blue—this is Gaijou's ultimate technique.
 * Hōgetsu Jigentō (崩月次元刀, Moon Crushing Dimensional Sword): Gaijou's main offensive technique; to use it, Gaijou utilizes her hand by flattening it out with all fingers next to each other leaving no gaps between them. The hand is then used like a sword and is slashed towards the intended target. It allows Gaijou to postpone the dimension in which she exists and enables her to go through all matter and create the "ultimate blade". This technique is like a saw, moving back and forth between dimensions, which means that it cannot cut if it cannot move. Defensively, this technique can be used to postpone the dimension of her entire body, allowing her to pass through walls and nullify an enemy's attacks. Gaijou has perfected this technique to the point where making contact with the target is unnecessary to make a hit. All she has to do is slash in the direction of her intended target and the cut travels the distance to it at lightning speed, with the same end result.
 * Senshōha (旋衝破, Spinning Break): Senshōha is a unique countering defensive ability that Gaijou utilizes against projectile projectiles, along with several other abilities such as elemental constructs. This is done by Gaijou utilizing her latent psychic powers to accelerate it more rapidly until it becomes a point. Then she uses her hand-to-hand combat prowess in addition to her psychic powers to "guide" the attack and redirect it. Essentially, taking an attack, but its power is accelerated into a drill that he then guides with her hands, spinning around and returning it the velocity of an projectile just as it contacts with her, before clutching it in her hands. Twirling it around, Gaijou throws it back at her opponent at twice the speed and force. However, Gaijou is still subject any secondary effects the attack could have. Furthermore there is always the danger that the attack could explode upon deacceleration as well. It is a "catch-and-throwback" ability that does not break the opponent's attack. Senshō, literally "spin-thrust", is a rarely-used kanji phrase for "spinning".
 * Bakunetsu Finger (爆熱祢津フィンガー, "Erupting Burning Finger"): Through continuous energy compression and the spinning loops of her gauntlet rotating at astounding speeds, Gaijou compresses energy around her fist, intensifying the energy by convergence and acceleration, turning her fist a shining golden. This attack promises absolute destruction, which is granted by causing friction with the hydrogen in the air by the sheer ferocity of the blow, generating a medium-sized explosion upon impact. The resulting resonance of the energy-imbued fist can crush the target and is particularly dangerous to supernatural being. It is capable of tearing through diamond and even through weak defenses. Visually, this technique is a reference to the infamous Shining Finger utilized by the Shining Gundam in Mobile Fighter G Gundam- To further hammer this fact in, Gaijou has often declared while utilizing this attack, "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power. It's burning grip tells me to defeat you! Now here I go, Erupting Burning Finger!" (この私の手は、圧倒的なパワーを点灯します. それの書き込みのグリップを敗北するよう指示 ！ここに行く今、爆熱祢津フィンガー！, "Watashi no kono te ga hikatte unaru! Omae wo taose to kagayaki sakebu! Hissatsu, Bakunetsu Fingā!"). After Bakunetsu Finger, Gaijou can subsequently discharge the remaining energy in an attack called "Blazing Finale", where the energy flies off her fist in a wave of energy towards her foe.
 * Tsunotōkage (角刀影, Shadow of the Horn Blade): Gaijou immerses energy around both her fist and forearm and uses it to strike the target, to perform a devastating blow. The one inch punch is a skill which uses explosive power to generate tremendous amounts of impact force at extremely close distances. When performing this one inch punch Gaijou stands with her fist very close to the target (the distance depends, usually from 0–6 inches). A quick movement of the wrist produces the force needed, the wrist is held with the knuckles facing out on a horizontal axis, the wrist is then moved up and a strike is produced with the bottom two knuckles. This blow is severely augmented compared to a regular one inch punch due to being infused with Gaijou's energy, which focuses at the very tips of her knuckles in the form of darkness surrounding her forearm.

Swordsmanship
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: For one reason or another, Gaijou is naturally skilled with wielding a sword. However, she became fascinated with the art of Japanese swordskills, training herself with her sword and studying in various Japanese swordsmanship abilities and the samurai code, and even going as far as to watch samurai movies; even so, she does not strictly follow the code, only merely utilizing the bushido style of swordsmanship at times—though her style is also noted to be very freestyle and self-taught, preferring an off-hands style that is best suited for her own tastes, relying on a combination of power, strength, and speed, always on the offensive, attacking with wide, fast, and powerful swings, performing amazing feats of acrobatics, such as somersaults and backflips, not only for attack, but also to evade the slashes and strikes of her opponents. Running, jumping, and spinning are all emphasized in her style, allowing Gaijou to move at high speeds and rain strong blows, jumping and attacking through the air. Powerful and quick spinning attacks are utilized from all angles, either from ground or air, appearing like a blur to her opponents, attacking from all directions—the front, the sides, overhead, or behind. As evidenced, her style is truly aggressive, discarding defenses in favour of intense speed and overwhelming strength. Befitting her pacifistic ideals, Gaijou often purposely avoids striking the foe's vital parts (those that can cause severe damage). Instead she only incapacitates them or otherwise prevents them from continuing a fight. The moment that Gaijou enters a battle; the terrain around her becomes an extension of her sword, Clarent; from a single sweep of the powerful blade in her hands, tremendous winds surge forward as incredible tornadoes rip apart the landscape, a simple stab into the earth is capable of causing tremendous earthquakes, upturning entire sections as fissures and chasms spread outward. Her swordsmanship is a force of nature itself; turning even the surroundings into a raging maelstrom of death and oblivion.
 * Iaidō (居合道, Way of Iai): Most of the time, Gaijou uses Iaidō, a sword style where the user quick draws the blade extremely fast to strike, then re-sheathing it after every attack. Gaijou's speed is so fast that she prevents opponents from reciting incantations, making it highly effective against energy specialists, however, if one has no need for incantations or have short release commands, then they could hamper Gaijou's advantage. Gaijou is able to strike so fast that the opponent does not realize they have been cut until she sheathes her weapon. The speed and precision of Gaijou's strikes are able to inflict a lethal blow on her opponent without staining the blade with blood, and even slice open the head of a large monster. Despite this being her most used style of Kenjutsu, she has shown personal distaste for this area of swordsmanship; noting it to be "too flashy", hence why she more often than not utilizes Iaidō as a technique which is supposed to surprise the foe, before using a more practical swing to obliterate the opponent with ease.
 * Ken'atsu (剣圧, Sword Pressure): A basic ability which can be learned by almost everyone and their mother, but it sure is deadly if utilized properly. Gripping her blade with both hands, Gaijou unleashes an almighty slash, releasing a powerful blade of pressure that appears as faint ripples of wind at her foe at high speeds; this attack enables Gaijou to assault things which are out of her sword's range, sending slashes which fly through the air itself; and can even remain floating in it until the right moment to slash. These blades of wind possess incredible range and devastating power; and Gaijou has mastered this ability to the point that it can cut through barriers of energy.
 * Gyakuzan (逆斬, Reversal Slash): A special sword technique that has odd offensive/defensive properties; it is renowned as one of the strongest assets in Gaijou's arsenal. When she uses it, Gaijou manifests a circular glyph in front of herself that whirls around at high speeds; timing is key the moment that she summons it. If she has cast it at the exact moment that any of the foe's attacks is about to strike her, the special ability takes place—upon the moment of impact, the glyph releases a pulse of energy that reverses the opponent's blow in the span of a few seconds while she slashes forward with Clarent, carrying the pulse on her blade; quickly counterattacking by reflecting the foe's attack at high speeds; often more than enough to absolutely overwhelm them in a single blow; such is its power.
 * Mabaku (呪爆, Spell Blast): Gaijou's special magic-sword skill; it is mostly utilized to take powerful projectiles out of the equation. Focusing energy into the tip of her sword, Gaijou slices at opposing attack while releasing the energy coated upon her sword with perfect timing, accurately targeting the tiny buildup of energy in the dead center of the middle of the attack, causing a chain reaction where the energy disperses in an instant, essentially destroying the opposing attack. Because of Mabaku, Gaijou is known to be extremely hard to overcome for long-range fighters—especially users who devote their entire life to unlocking the secrets of the energies, as Gaijou can just effortlessly destroy their powerful attacks with a single swing of her sword.
 * Jump (ジャンプ, Janpu): This is one of Gaijou's most powerful attacks; where she leaps into the air, stunning the foe if they are struck, and descends to attack her foe. It takes longer to execute than any of her normal swings, but does greater damage and makes her immune to attacks while in the middle of the jump. While in the air, Gaijou gathers stray energy upon her sword as well as her feet, which condenses to its utmost limit and shapes itself on the end of her blade, giving it a sharp cutting edge. As she descends, the speed at which she moves at quickly increases until she reaches the speed of sound; when she impacts upon the foe, the result of her sword striking the opponent causes a sonic boom; releasing all of that built-up energy for incredibly destructive results. What is notable is that when using Jump, Gaijou can cancel the descent; allowing her to attack from the skies. In addition, Jump can be charged for horizontal and vertical range, also delaying the time between Gaijou's leap and the descent. Finally, Gaijou can descend past her initial altitude to a set limit if the opponent is on lower ground than her.
 * Reiraku Byakuya (零落白夜, Midnight Sun Faded Glory): An original and extremely powerful technique; Reiraku Byakuya is prepared by Gaijou assuming an unusual stance; dropping into a partial crouch, both knees bend, right arm drawn back and left extended forward while Gaijou winds up her sword arm. Focusing her energy into her feet to get a better foothold as well as her left wrist to augment her strike, Gaijou waits for her foe to draw close, before instantly breaking out of the stance and thrusting at her foe while releasing her sword arm, creating a drill effect with extreme force at high speeds, piercing through many an obstruction and tear through the air itself. The technique is considered quite deadly, as the Reiraku Byakuya has only a precious few blind spots to be exploited. Despite the apparent inflexibility of using one attack repeatedly, it has many useful applications.

Magic
Powerful Magic User: Due to the experiments performed on her, Gaijou has highly advanced knowledge of magic and the flow of magical energy to the point that she can mix magic with other fighting techniques. Gaijou is capable of using any type of magic; thus making her a powerful Red Mage (赤魔道士, Akamadōshi, Red Magic Adherent) of sorts. Augmenting her latent skills in magic is the knowledge she obtained from centuries of studying and practicing until the point that she could cast high-leveled spells without incantation, and she can apply powerful protection spells to her person while in battle as to make sure she is never surprised. What is known is that she commonly uses low-level spells to bind her opponents, no matter their strength, before employing incantation-strengthened magic to destroy them outright. However; she is known to rarely employ magic because of their nature to be indiscriminate. Because of her immense knowledge in the art of magic, she can, with merely a small amount of dedication on her part, transform her weakest spell into something overwhelmingly lethal, augmenting it to an attack of incredible power thanks to manipulating the construction of the spell with her mind—this is why she favours low-level spells, especially her trademark Ziodyne spell, thanks to its great potential and surprisingly high power. Her favourite method of utilization of magic is offensive, which enables her to destroy anything that irks her in her path. Additionally, she is highly proficient in elemental spells. Being a master, Gaijou is capable to weaving spells together; and her magic is noticeably more stable than most others with magic abilities, and therefore it doesn't breakdown at all and is not easily deflected; it can be said that Gaijou's spells are almost unstoppable.
 * Incantation-less Casting: Gaijou, due to her incredible skill, is able to cast spells up to the high #80's range without the need for an incantation without any loss of power. Well, it can be said that she didn't achieve it by herself, but the experiments performed upon her body in her early years enabled her to achieve this skill quicker than most.
 * Chaining of Spells: Because of her immense mastery of magic, Gaijou can chain up to a maximum of fifteen spells together by applying her great mind and concentrating; focusing to her utmost limit—because of this connection, the special effect of the casted spells are sprung into activation instantly after the spell before it, or at the exact same time as one another. This enables Gaijou to unleash attacks in swift succession and effortlessly overpower her opponents quickly.
 * Magi (魔技, Magic Skill): Magi is a special magic conversation spell developed by Gaijou; this enables her to break down the basic elements of various spells and then focus them upon her blade or her limbs; this essentially combines magic with her sword skills and hand-to-hand prowess in order to cause various effects, in addition to merely strengthening blows. Magi generally allows Gaijou to swiftly deal elemental damage, compared to regular magic, which requires incantation time but covers wide areas. Gaijou's spells fired from her feet have a fluid motion, while spells launched from her arms have a fluctuating motion. Gaijou sends magical power from her ribs to her limbs and expels it in its complete form from her arms and legs, making her limbs look like rocket burners. It should be noted that Gaijou's spells when using Magi are erratic in their motions; meaning that they could strike from anywhere no matter how far her foes are away from her.
 * Ziodyne (ジオダイン, Jiodain): The basic attack that Gaijou possesses. Gaijou gathers and converges magical energy in her palm, compressing it to its utmost limit, before it takes upon a tangible form as a pure white sphere composed of nothing but light. From there, Gaijou hurls it forward in a flash, shooting the orb towards her foe instantly. Upon impact with the foe, Ziodyne grinds into them with powerful force, before decompressing instantly and releasing a powerful explosion of white light. This tends to launch the target backward after being hit or, if the target is lying on the ground or being launched to the ground, the destructive force is enough to form a crater. Gaijou can also use Ziodyne in a wide-range applicant; she creates a circle of energy, before firing blasts of green light from its center in a cage-like formation. This is Gaijou's favorite spell to use, and she has created many variants. Gaijou can modify the properties of the blasts, causing them to inflict piercing penetrating damage, explode violently upon contact, ricochet upon impact with any surface which is not Gaijou's target, as well as manually control their flight path. Gaijou can take her mastery of this spell further, converging into one, enormous all-devouring wave of green light which obliterates anything in its path.
 * Karyūshōha (火龍焼破, Burning Destruction of the Fire Dragon): Gaijou gathers heat and light within her hand, compressing it to its utmost limit, and subsequently releases them towards the opponent. This generates an extremely large and destructive sparking blast that possesses explosive penetrative power, which produces an immense amount of light and is capable of travelling for great distances, wreaking havoc wherever it passes. This spell leaves a huge strain upon Gaijou's body. It has two settings; the first form emits a higher-velocity beam with enough momentum to breach defenses. However, the damage dealt to the target without penetrating an defense is significantly reduced due to its lower energy transfer. The second mode is like a classic beam attack: the magical particles have less velocity and, while less penetrating, quickly transfer their energy to the target upon impact, reverting back to pure heat and destroying the target from within. The attack requires about 3 seconds to travel a few ten thousand-kilometer distance, and Gaijou can immediately fire the next attack after confirming a miss, but after 10 attacks, she will run out of magical energy. The immense power of this beam makes it the most powerful attack in the series upon it's full début, and it would not be rivaled for decades to come.
 * Orion Devastation (三翼竜・白光斬 (オリオン・デバスタシーオン), Orion Debasutasīon; Japanese for Three Winged Dragon: Slash of White Light): An extremely destructive, wide-range spell, widely considered to be among the most powerful lightning spells in existence. At its weakest point, it is capable of vaporizing half of a floating boulder 100m long and reduced the rest to melting slag. Because of its wide area of effect, typically Orion Devastation is reserved for use against entire armies at once unless focused. It is an extremely powerful lightning elemental spell, which involves creating a creature entirely made up of lightning by directly drawing power from the thunder clouds above the sky and controlling it with her magical power. Gaijou at first raises both her arms to the heavens and then summons the necessary power and shapes the lightning using her own magical power into the form of a demonic lightning creature with visible teeth and large claw-like hands. This allows her to channel the lightning down on her target. Because she is merely channeling the naturally created lightning, she is able to use a power greater than what anyone could create with their own magic. Because this is also natural lightning, it will travel more quickly than many warriors could dodge. Orion Devastation on the other hand is a trail of carnage carved by brute force. Gaijou can also create a much smaller version of the technique by drawing in less power from the thunder clouds than she usually would, this decreases the power of the technique but in doing so, allows her to use it several times in small amounts. The creature appears much smaller when used in this way. Because it requires open access to the sky, Orion Devastation cannot be used underground and due to its destructive properties it is best not used in a crowded area since anyone within the vicinity will be affected by it. Additionally, Orion Devastation can be focused into a stream to attack a single target, as seen in her semi-finals match. However, such focus requires immense proficiency with the spell beforehand.
 * Rumbling Mt. Fuji (鳴動富嶽, Meidō Fugaku): An extremely damaging offensive technique which strikes a large area near Gaijou after the latter joins her hands together before herself. As she does so, the area immediately in front of her is struck by an immense release of energy surging from the ground, which wreaks havoc on anything it finds, rising up several meters in the air and shattering the earth it emerges from reducing it to small pieces. Upon contact with a foe, Rumbling Mt. Fuji subjugates anyone and anything in its blast area to a fierce assault of downward forces, making it seem as if gravity had intensified to the point that it could kill someone just to make a single step before unleashing it's original effect, dealing tremendous damage. Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan, as well as an active volcano; something which makes this technique somewhat resemble the phenomenon of an explosive eruption.
 * Chiyukō (治癒功, Healing Achievement): A healing spell; Gaijou amasses magical particles on her hands and then touches them, grabbing ahold of the body area where wounds have been inflicted, as the magical energy transfigures into life energy, which flows into an open wound upon the target. This life energy flows into the target's system to purge it of all wounds; but the time of healing varies from person to person—and even the severity of the target's wounds. However, since Gaijou is using her own magical power to fuel the spell, that means that she is technically putting her own health at risk. It grants Gaijou the ability to automatically revive from being knocked as long as the status in effect. However, she can use it on others than herself; as she can use it to revive an ally from being knocked out with their health and stamina revitalized. Once upgraded enough, it becomes one of Gaijou's most useful spells; it is one of the most effective but costly ways to revive her allies. When used, a giant glyph appears under the entire area, healing all allies significantly at a fixed rate. This is one of the most effective healing spells to exist, but because of this, the casting time and amount of magical energy used to utilize it are very high to prevent its constant use.
 * Eishōrai (鋭招来, Sharp Invitation): Eishōrai is a special support, which enables Gaijou to increase the power of her offensive blows. She points a finger in the sky and gathers energy onto the tip of her finger, before spinning around, causing the energy to scatter around her; this generates a bonus effect, increasing the strength, speed, and potential she possesses tenfold, allowing her to take on even foes much more powerful than herself; entering a state of enhanced awareness and peak physical ability. This makes Gaijou become cloaked in intense magical energy. While in this state, Gaijou demonstrates heightened reflexes and extremely quick information processing, and it amplifies the powers of her magic without exhausting herself. However, this ability is a double-edged sword; it has a ten minute time limit, which, if passed, has serious consequences for both Gaijou and her magical energy. This additionally generates a bonus effect that raises her chances of scoring a critical hit upon her foe; as well as enables her to regain a small amount of stamina and energy.
 * Hanshakōshiki (反射公式, Reflectance Formulae): A unique spell that Gaijou learned. Mere seconds before an opposing projectile attack lands, Gaijou expels her magical energy and erects it in the form of geometric shapes that connect to form the overall shape of tessellating hexagons. Spinning around at high speeds, these hexagons gather magical energy by drawing it from Gaijou and the surroundings for a split second, before quickly counterattacking by reflecting said projectile at such a speed that it seems that Gaijou has access to the opposing attack. This spell is capable of bending the opposing projectile away from her, as well as some physical attacks. However, the technique is difficult to use has it can only manipulate so many magical particles at a time and it required precise timing. Thus, this grants Gaijou immunity to most attacks, and can defend other allies with it. Gaijou had mentioned how difficult it is to use it and the chances of successfully using it are near impossible and that she would never use it unless she had no other choice.
 * Flare (フレア, Furea): Flare is one of Gaijou's most powerful Black Magic spells; it is a counterpart to the White Magic Holy, inflicting heavy non-elemental damage. It deals very high non-elemental damage around Gaijou, and additional damage over time. The form that Flare takes is one of a powerful chain reaction akin to nuclear fission; as the magical energies upon Gaijou's hands will rumble violently as they quickly spiral outwards before manifesting as a crimson sphere of energy which collapses in on itself then expands outwards rapidly towards the enemy; a flare is a contained release of energy, which fully exposes the enemy to the source rather than blow them away from it after a while. Additionally, this spell lowers a foe's resistance to the Water element for a brief duration. It has a more powerful version which is known as Megaflare (メガフレア, Megafurea); it is the upgraded version of the Flare spell; it is a very damaging spell deals heavy non-elemental magic damage to all targets; when used, Megaflare takes the form of a long, powerful beam of crimson energy which Gaijou fires from her hand at her opponents. This beam covers a wide range, almost five kilometers in diameter while creating a massive firestorm over a large area to do heavy damage to all enemies. This attack creates an enormous explosion upon contact and leaves a huge mushroom cloud; similar a nuclear bomb; this effect spreads out to a fan-shaped area. What is notable though, is that Megaflare can quite easily vaporize weaker species, and even an abyss of darkness. This spell is known to be the strongest black magic spell normally cast-able by a human without amplifying his or her magical capacity; one shot can level a mountain or even a small city. It is also highly effective against astral beings such as demonic entities. It is advisable for Gaijou to put some distance between herself and the target, as she can be easily caught in the explosion as well.

Darkness Step
Darkness Step Master (ダークネスステップ, Dākunesu Suteppu): A speed-enhancing technique that is unique to Gaijou; when utilizing Darkness Step, Gaijou continuously recycles energy in the atmosphere and sends the gathered energy through her feet in a permanent cycle of revolving, giving her feet a scorching black glow and enabling Gaijou to utilize a constant version of high-speed augmentation, giving her the ability to skate through the ambient energy particles which are dispersed the atmosphere without anything impeding her progress; moving at such speeds to the point that it almost impossible to catch her via one's eyesight, rendering her very much unable to spot, no matter how hard one tries to. In addition, activation of Darkness Step turns Gaijou into a highly destructive projectile when she accelerates to extremely high speeds. The use of Darkness Step also allows Gaijou to defy gravity if she wishes, zipping about at insurmountably tremendous velocities; while using extremely skilled acrobatics that make even the fastest of opponents unable to keep up with her. Her control over her use of Darkness Step is to the extent that she create dozens of afterimages to confuse her opponent as she waltzes around with impunity. She is stated to move at a speed which nears breaking the sound barrier, and she often augments her physical blows by the velocity at which she is moving at. Even without Darkness Step, she is speedy—but with it, her speed is overwhelming; constantly closing in upon her opponent in order to lay down the hurt upon her opponent effortlessly. When using Darkness Step, Gaijou rarely, if ever, puts a foot wrong in a clash of titans; effortlessly linking together her blows—armed and unarmed—together due to her reflex speed, which is further enhanced by this art.
 * Homing Attack (ホーミングアタック, Hōmingu Atakku): The Homing Attack is a powerful technique that Gaijou derived from Darkness Step; Gaijou allows the energy that she is recycling to trail up in order to cover her entire body, before compressing to its utmost limit, enabling it to temporarily manipulate her limbs as if she were a marionette. There, she curls up into a ball, and ascends into the sky; before decompressing the energy that surrounds her rapidly, unleashing a powerful sonic boom that destroys everything around her as the force of the sonic boom launches Gaijou forward, homing into the nearest foe with a target-seeking midair seeking spin attack; the force of the Homing Attack enables her to bounce off targets, giving her the ability to chain multiple Homing Attacks to attack her foe over and over, or assault multiple opponents at high speeds. The aftereffects of the Homing Attack generate a miniature tornado that can flip foes over to reveal a weak spot, or to blow away their defenses, leaving them vulnerable.
 * Spin Dash (スピンダッシュ, Supin Dasshu): The Spin Dash is a grounded variation of Gaijou's Homing Attack which allows her to instantly launch herself forward into a high speed rolling attack from a stationary position. To activate it, she crouches and curls up into a ball, allowing her energy to coat her body and enhance the proceeding attack's power, then dashes off in a high speed rolling attack. The Spin Dash is used to attack enemies or break through walls, as well as dash up steep slopes without having to build up running momentum. It should be noted that Gaijou can hold herself in her spinning sphere form while stationary in order to build up speed and power, though she can only hold it for fourty-five seconds before she automatically boosts off. The fact that she allowed her energy to coat her body drastically enhanced her power, enabling her to bust through many a foe with sheer force effortlessly.
 * Shukuchi (縮地, lit. To Shrink the Earth): The highest speed that one can achieve; it is often touted as the "supreme form of ultimate speed"; and can be used by any master with any sort of speed-enhancing technique. This speed is noted to be something completely different than mere speed-enhancing techniques; in fact, it is called an ancient form of teleportation. On rare occasions, Shukuchi is misguidedly compared to the likes of light-speed, though this is completely inaccurate. By using the gathering energy method of Darkness Step, Gaijou gathers additional energy within her legs in order to enhance her already tremendous speed, drastically boosting her movements exponentially. The movements of Shukuchi make it seem that the positions of Gaijou and her targets have been shrunk through her light-speed movements, hence the name of the technique. When utilizing Shukuchi, Gaijou releases a fair amount distinct noise like distorted lightning as she moves and on the ground she leaves craters in her wake with every step, and midair the region of the air around her ripples as though from waves of heat with an occasional discharge of electricity; leaving afterimages as she moves. Each of these afterimages are accompanied by powerful slicing winds that possess concussive power.

Demon Blood
Haemokinesis (血能力) (ハエモキネシス), haemokinesisu, Japanese for "Blood Power", English for "Haemokinesis"): Also known as Demon Blood; this is merely the specialized blood that is running through Gaijou's veins due to her nature as an alien. Because of her current form, while normally, the Demon Blood would continue to corrode her soul with insanity which is triggered through her remembrance of her horrific past—due to the Rosary of Oblivion, the rosary suppresses these urges, merely and imbues her with great power. It can solidify, heal wounds, and can be used as a weapon. Unlike most users of blood, Gaijou's blood has a physical form used for destroying objects, blocking enemies' attacks and picking up objects. Normally, she shapes her attacks into the form of ghostly apparitions, which she can use in various ways. Gaijou is also able to fade herself into blood on the ground to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks. But, if she is caught while in a tangible form, she is then vulnerable to attacks. The main purpose of the insanity is to erase all fear in her, which prevents hesitation or weakness of will during battle. The insanity of the Demon Blood can be potent, but with enough strength of will, it can be controlled. Gaijou has full control of the abilities the unique substance offers. Gaijou can also control the state that blood is in; enabling her to solidify blood though forming a seal of sorts around it with her energy to form powerful tools and weapons as a substitute for her blade as well replicate herself though an (so far) unknown method, making carbon copies of the one and only Gaijou Hoshizora for diversions. Despite its supernatural qualities the blood also fulfills all the properties of real blood cells; as Gaijou's blood is Demon Blood, showing that it can carry oxygen through the body.
 * Blood Manipulation: One of the Demon Blood's properties is that it can hyper-densify to her will. When she is cut and the Demon Blood bleeds out of the wound, she can will the Demon Blood to harden and take on the shape of sharp objects, such as blades or needles. This is used as a counter-attack. It can also take on the form of a protective armour for the body. However, without Gaijou's will, the Demon Blood does not harden, meaning that this property is not an automatic function of the blood.
 * Enhanced Durability: The Demon Blood also grants Gaijou almost complete invulnerability; it hardens the entire body, making her impervious to slashing or crushing attacks. If Gaijou is wounded, the blood can harden and staunch the wound, preventing it from bleeding and healing the wound incredibly quickly. A great amount of strength is needed to break through Gaijou's Demon Blood, but it is possible to do so.
 * Enhanced Physical Parameters: Gaijou's speed and strength is also enhanced by a great deal merely by having this blood within her veins; while she appears frail and rather unathletic in appearance, she can move incredibly swiftly and can stop strong physical attacks with one hand.
 * Bloody Needles: If Gaijou has drawn blood or spilt it anywhere, then at a moment's notice, she can infuse that blood with her power, causing them to transfigure into the form of droplets before expanding and hardening, turning them into razor-sharp needles which extend towards her foe, with the malicious intent to pierce them. As Gaijou's blood can be spread easily and quickly during a particularly intense fight, Bloody Needles is mostly used to surround her foe, able to exploit any available opening at a moment's notice. Due to this, Bloody Needles possesses the additional effect of being able to surprise the foe no matter how much they have witnessed the technique as it is easily adaptable. It should be noted that activating this technique costs little to no power, and thus, Bloody Needles is easily one of Gaijou's most useful techniques.
 * Bloody Slicer: Slicing her own wrist, Gaijou exposes her own blood to her opponent. With a simple flick of her wrist or a single swift movement of her arm, Gaijou releases the blood, sending it shooting towards her foe. Utilizing her energy, Gaijou sends out a small modification wave, which forces the small pooled blood to transform and harden, becoming a crescent shaped arc of blood. If in close combat, Gaijou slices her wrist, and then in the arc of her arm's swing, uses her energy to harden the blood into a blade that remains affixed to her arm, enabling numerous follow-ups. The true advantage of Bloody Slicer's close-combat variant is that it can liquefy at a single thought, enabling Gaijou to negate her foe's attempts at defense upon impact; and Gaijou, immediately afterward, can follow up with another attack, such as Bloody Needles. Both variants of the technique can be utilized in swift succession; since most of the time, the opponent is forced to focus on blocking the first blast, rarely figuring out that the second blow is coming up immediately.
 * Black Dragon (黒龍, Kokuryū): One of Gaijou's most powerful techniques; to unleash the technique, she gathers immense amounts of energy from all around the vicinity, collecting it and converging it upon her figure until she cannot take any more; at this point, she releases the energy in a powerful burst which scatters the energy around her body, taking the form of a dragon extending from Gaijou's back, complete with two large wings. In this form Gaijou's attacks are all enhanced, shown when she used Screech Alpha to destroy a skyscraper with just a single blow. She also gains flight capability, which is fast enough to give even Gai keeping up with his light-speed.

Psychic Powers
Psychic Power (超能力, Chō Nōryoku): Also known as Psychokinesis (サイコキネシス, Saikokineshisu) is an ability to move (-kinesis) matter with the mind (psycho-) without exerting physical forces on the objects. Gaijou possesses heightened mental awareness; with a sixth sense. She is capable of telepathically detecting others, and is sensitive to the hostile intentions directed at her by others, allowing her to uncannily react to her opponents even before the offender carries out their intended action. Seika also exhibits psychokinesis, amplification of will, reproduction of thought, transplantation of emotions, the ability to control memories. Psychokinesis is an ability to move matter with the mind without exerting any physical force upon the items. Gaijou uses this ability to manipulate physical objects; she is able to grasp an object and hurl it at her targets great distances with tremendous force. She can also project energy blasts that can bring harm to others and she is able to stun her targets by materializing a sphere of psychic energy around herself. For movement, she is able to manipulate herself by levitating in the air to fly at tremendous speeds which are comparable to the highest speeds. Gaijou usually extends her arm in order to remotely pick things up, and push or pull things, including living things. She tends to use this ability frequently, even once using it to throw a mook against a building. She can also perform limited telepathy, but all she can do at the moment is give someone a headache and talk with another telepath inside her head, but the latter leaves her with a migraine. This particular skill can be enhanced while using specialized equipment though. She can also teleport short distances. One of her favourite tactics is to create telekinetic energy appendages to move an item, giving it a vector, making it easier to move and more effective than normal telekinesis. She can create large blades of psychokinetic energy called that can be launched at her opponent or used as swords as her main attack, and she can confuse her opponent's sense of direction.
 * Grab All (すべてをつかん, Subete o Tsukan): Gaijou's basic psychic skill; when using Grab All, Gaijou grabs everything around her with her psychokinesis and throws it away. Gaijou uses her psychokinesis to pick up any objects or stun enemies that can levitate within a certain radius, and she will begin to levitate as well. At this point, Gaijou will be rooted on the spot where he is floating, but she can turn around in 360 degree angle, thus allowing her to face any direction enemies come from. When Gaijou throws an object she has grabbed with Grab All, she slightly crouches herself together and charges up psychokinetic energy with a small grunt. She then quickly folds herself out and releases the charged energy in a small wave which throws the grabbed objects away with great force.
 * Hold Smash (ホールドスマッシュ, Horudo Sumasshu): When using this move, Gaijou charges her Psychokinesis to push multiple objects over longer distances. When Gaijou performs this move, she must have grabbed one or more objects and/or enemies with her Psychokinesis. With multiple objects now grabbed, she charges up her psychokinetic powers. Once it is charged up, Gaijou will release all the objects she has grabbed in a burst of energy which will fling everything in the direction she's facing and cause a fair amount of damage to any enemies or blow away obstacles.
 * Telepathy (テレパシー, Terepashī): With telepathy, Gaijou is able to mentally communicate over small or vast distances with other individuals, which she usually employs only to read the states of minds and engage in silent conversations. For it to be able to be used, Gaijou must be able to sense the presences of those she wishes to contact. However, communicating with non-magical beings becomes nearly impossible over distances greater than ten meters, and the limit for magical beings is one-hundred meters. Gaijou can only exchange short ten-word sentences to those that she is attached to. Eye contact allows Gaijou to have less difficulty in focusing on a target's thoughts. Moreover, telepathy also gives Gaijou an advantage in combat, being able to easily predict the next movement of an opponent, and furthermore to taunt and confuse opponents by echoing her voice in their head in every direction, masking her position.
 * Demon Brand (魔烙印, Marakūn): Gaijou is able to telekinetically manifest invisible demonic arms which appear similar to the arms of a demon. They, like the rest of Gaijou's powers, are psychic in nature and origin, and only demons are able to observe them. The quantity of appendages that Gaijou can summon at one time varies on her emotional state, and they can be between five and ten meters long. These arms are magnitudes more fearsome than 'normal' arms. They can shatter almost anything except the most powerful defenses, they can throw objects with enough force to impale any target at long range, they can block many a projectile, and brutally rip or precisely slash any body apart with ease. It should be noted, that Gaijou can only manifest these arms when in a shattered mental state.

Anki
Anki (暗記, Memorization): The method through how Gaijou obtained all of her power sans her Accelerated Gear—Gaijou is capable of learning any ability and completely mastering them, to the extent that she can use them to one hundred and twenty percent of their capability, becoming more skilled with them than even their original owners. This ability allows her to learn any skill quickly, from simple skills like magic to the impossible feats performed. She can learn abilities based off of information or word-of-mouth and can now copy humans, successfully learning swordsmanship from only a secondhand description. However, Anki does have its limits; Gaijou cannot learn skills that exceed her physical limits, and she is unable to stop herself from learning an ability when she experiences it. In battle, Gaijou can observe any combat techniques, fighting styles or even unique abilities, in action, store them as data within a short time and then execute them with unnerving accuracy and precision, allowing her to grow exponentially stronger for each battle she participates in. This apparently extends to all aspects of a target outside of its physical form, enabling Gaijou to mimic running styles, jumping abilities, stances, voices, attacks, abilities and even appearances. However, she cannot copy multiple acts at one time. Gaijou can then mix and match the techniques and abilities she has copy to suit her taste, giving him a vast and nearly unpredictable fighting style in combat. If Gaijou is not physically capable of performing a technique, she mimics it in another way. Gaijou's copying abilities are not only limited to the combat skills or special abilities of living beings, but also to all forms of weaponry and machinery as well, be it weapons from 4000 years ago or the modern day technology, allowing her to manifest all kinds of technology. She is able to "absorb" weaponry and use it as her own, literally making her a shapeshifting weapon arsenal.


 * Observation (観察, Kansatsu ): Observation is the method through which Anki copies other abilities. This allows Gaijou to see the processes of actions broken down to allow easier observation and copying.

Immortality
Immortality: As a being of darkness, and therefore one of the eternal forces alongside light, Gaijou is completely immortal and can therefore never truly be destroyed, as her presence is needed to preserve the world's balance, giving her a vaguely-defined form of immortality; this is due to, in her past, she, as the beast, managed to devour hundreds of thousands of souls, giving her enormous power boosts. When Gaijou is significantly damaged by an attack that could kill her, the damage is redirected to her reservoir of souls. Because this ability does not really grant her true immortality, it can be considered as pseudo-immortality; however, Gaijou, as part of her unknown race's powers, does not seem to age. She is able to survive fatal wounds and regenerate in mere moments. The downside is that while she can survive any form of harm, she is still capable of feeling pain. Due to years of experience however, she has a high threshold for it, barely noticing or flinching when faced with incredibly powerful attacks. Her immortality also prevents physical deterioration due to aging. She has been shot fatally a number of times, been crushed by water pressure, burned at the stake, subjected to the guillotine, placed in an iron maiden, and stabbed by spears all of which she recovered from. Because of this, she can never die, although she still experiences pain and injuries, mortal wounds result in her becoming unconscious until injuries are tended upon, but her body will never rot, age or grow old, as long as she keeps at least two souls within her body; one to endure the blows, and another to continue living.
 * Immunity: Gaijou is immune to diseases, poisons, and gases that can paralyze or kill both humans and other normal creatures as well as weaker beings. However, there is one specific weakness she has- holy damage such as star power can nullify this and actually can kill her on the spot. Most human attacks cannot harm Gaijou, unless she is severely weakened from a prior battle and cannot defend herself from the attack.
 * Advanced Regeneration: Because of her soul count, Gaijou's capacity to regenerate is considerably greater than many other beings. Her healing rate is so fast that, after getting stabbed in the stomach, she lifted up her shirt only seconds after and showed everyone that the wound was already closing itself up. She has regenerated from a pool of blood and from being decapitated, blown to shreds by gunfire, incinerated completely, etc. When damaged to an extreme extent, her body simply turns into a shadow-like substance and reconstitutes. Extremely powerful attacks have been shown to incapacitate her for a time, but even then, it is highly difficult to damage Gaijou for long periods of time; her wounds are never permanent. It automatically heals her wounds; however, it takes her own energy to heal her wounds—but because of her energy working as a energy-generation factory, this is of very little problem—it normally takes a number of minutes to heal from grievous harm, however, there is one downside: if the foe destroys her head or heart, it will result in immediate death. Its abilities are potent enough to heal critical and fatal wounds rapidly and restore Gaijou's health. It allows for large missing portions of the body to be restored, the regeneration of destroyed organs, even including the heart, and minor injuries such as cuts to quickly heal.

Strength
Incredible Strength: Gaijou possesses phenomenal strength and superior hand-eye coordination, and can break free from almost any attack that binds her and prevents her from moving. She has vast amounts of superhuman physical strength, so vast that it enables her to accomplish incredible feats, such as shattering boulders to smithereens, punch holes through thick steel and lift objects several times her own size and weight. She is strong enough to break an enormous tree in half; and she can upturn huge portions of rock floor with a single strike at the ground with her sword. Gaijou also has enough power to break diamond with her bare hands, and break through barriers; her inherent immense power is only amplified by the momentum at which she moves, making her strong enough to cut through enemies (though not all shields), burrow through the ground, smash through surfaces by stomping, or break down walls. However, it is debatable whether the attack's main power comes from her immense speed or her superhuman strength, or a combination of both. A lot of moves Gaijou involve her feet and legs more than her hands, which suggests that her legs are more powerful than her arms. This does not mean that Gaijou's arms are not powerful as well, as she has been shown being able to tear parts from robots' bodies with brute force alone. She is able to lift and press 100 metric tons, and she is able to split the hydrogen in the air by punching, strike out with her fists or throw objects through air with such force that she can make them ignite fire and punch the ground with enough strength to cause fissures, tremors and even kick up small volcanic eruptions over a wide area.

Durability
Notable Durability: Several times, Gaijou has been shown to have great resilience to physical damage. She can survive getting caught in the crossfire from all angles by heavy machinegun fire, and is only knocked out briefly by it. She can smash several robots with her fist without showing any sign of pain or injury. It is also worth noting that, for nearly all the battles Gaijou has endured, she has never been crippled, nor has she displayed any serious injuries. Additionally, she can survive free-falls from extreme heights, bordering at the edge of space, falling face-first from a high point in the atmosphere twice, merely shaking it off after landing, and additionally, she is able to survive atmospheric reentry unharmed. Gaijou can, when necessary, expand her muscle areas to enhance her speed, agility, and strength. She is strong enough to forcibly move a pair of turrets, lift a giant building with little effort, and even temporarily halt a warship in its tracks. She can take a lot of major punishment in battle before she starts to wear down. Even after receiving major damage, Gaijou displays a remarkably fast recovery rate from damage, allowing her to quickly re-enter a battle after just a few moments. Gaijou is unaffected by both physical and energy skills; rather, she seems not to notice when skills are used against her. After Gaijou sees an attack once, it will not work against her a second time, as she will no longer recognize it as an attack. If she is penetrated by certain projectiles, the internal pressure could be utilized to propel them outwards from the body, as demonstrated by Gaijou against throwing knives.
 * Defender (ディフェンダー, Difendā): Defender is an advanced technique that grants Gaijou inhuman defensive and offensive capabilities. By making energy flow directly into her blood vessels, Gaijou is able to drastically increase her attack and defense power. However, despite the significant danger this potentially presents to her opponents, Defender possesses one major flaw in that the independent forms of the technique for attack and defense operate using two different reason systems, meaning they cannot be employed simultaneously. The defensive form of Defender grants Gaijou inhuman durability, represented by a faint pattern tracing the veins beneath the surface of her skin, which is only visible on the afflicted area when struck. However, despite the considerable defense afforded by this technique, it seemingly isn't absolute and can be torn using sufficient power. The offensive form of Defender grants Gaijou inhuman attack power. This technique is the only thing capable of ensuring that her attacks are able to significantly damage an incredibly powerful opponent. Amusingly, despite her skin hardening, it has little to effect on adding defensive capabilities to her clothing—more often than not, her clothes are shredded beyond recognition in all of her fights.

Speed
Immense Speed: Gaijou has shown to be immensely fast, befitting her small size and waifish build. Thanks to her tremendous raw power, Gaijou's leg strength allows her to more than make up for her lack of speed-enhancing magic; allowing her to move fast enough to instantly close a huge gap of space between her and the opponent and even seemingly disappear from sight in the span of a millisecond. She can effectively use her agility to use the battlefield to her advantage, jumping from wall to wall to keep her opponents unsure of her attack patterns. Gaijou moves at such a speed that her foes more often than not can't register her movements, until she's made them; she's also skilled enough to dodge at tremendous speeds, even if she's assaulted from behind. It should be noted that a burst of crimson is emitted from her feet with every step she takes, augmenting her speed even further. When launched into the air, she can perform several tricks before finally landing on ground. She has also shown on several occasions that she can jump incredibly long distances, up to several hundred meters by applying speed to her jumps. She is capable of moving so fast that she can decapitate an entire army of foes without them even having time to react. She often only appears as a black shimmer of energy, with only the fastest foes even catching sight of her true figure during a battle. This incredible speed gives her an edge in battle against slower or close-range fighters. Excelling in hit-and-run tactics, Gaijou has been shown to be able to evade many a combatant in both long and close-range; her movements are so tremendously swift that few would be likely to see an attack take place—this enables her to attack almost a multiple of ten times in a row per second. Not only that, but her movement is fluid and precise, and rarely will she exert effort in movements.
 * Enhanced Reflexes: Gaijou is amazingly well coordinated, as she is able to catch bullets in mid-air; her tremendous reflexes, agility and speed usually enables her to dodge many a powerful projectile while balancing herself on one hand. She is also able to skillfully and acrobatically dodge a barrage of blasts; even by performing a side jump, and if the foe knocks her off a building, she is able to launch herself off of a few small falling rocks back towards her foe with ease. She is also incredibly precise, as she is able to remove small objects from a person's skull without damaging the person's brain in any way. Due to being so small and spry, Gaijou is highly flexible in battle- able to perform one-handed backflips, somersaults, and mid-air cartwheels with little effort in terms of physical strain. Gaijou is also known for rolling around on the ground to evade foes' attacks, as well as being able to perform multiple spins and tricks in mid-air.
 * Afterimage: A side effect of her extreme speed, Gaijou can produce afterimages of herself in order to confuse opponents who are unable to follow her movements. While she does have control over afterimages, Gaijou usually moves so quickly that she creates afterimages inadvertently. In nearly every fight she's been in, she has used an afterimage to fool her opponents into thinking they have killed her in one blow, only to appear unharmed somewhere else and land a decisive blow.
 * Kokugenei (剋幻影, Victory Phantom): A original technique, Gaijou first jumps up and down, dragging out the noise so that the sound of her feet tapping on the ground isn't heard until after her feet have left the floor again. Once the sound lag is at its fullest, Gaijou leaps forward like a bullet, producing a sonic boom that destroys everything in front of and behind herself, propelling herself into her opponent at inconceivable speeds. Because she moves faster than the eye can see, the opponent won't be able to react until after she has already hit them. Onlookers theorize that she is faster than light, but Gaijou claims that she just sped forward when they blinked. After it, Gaijou will then fall back on the ground and start running normally with streams of air released in her wake. While active, Kokugenei gives Gaijou increased speed and invulnerability, allowing her to damage enemies and opponents simply by running into them. This move is based upon the Sonic boom phenomenon.
 * Meikyō (明鏡, Soul Mirror): Gaijou creates single or multiple illusions from heat through her speed. The illusions are completely indistinguishable from the real thing to the naked eye and simple sensors, however, they are easily dispelled. Several types of illusions can be created, but Gaijou's favorite are copies of herself, used to confuse her opponent as well as attack them. Still, it is a very taxing technique that requires considerable amount of energy and mental focus per image created, making impossible to sustain it for long periods of time. The duplicates formed by this technique function as if they were Gaijou herself, even able to bleed. After sustaining enough damage, they become miniature phoenixes and rise to the heavens before turning to ash. Gaijou often makes use of these puppets to utilize some of her stronger attacks and to act as diversions or support in the heat of battle. Meikyō is by far, Gaijou's most useful technique. These puppets also carry a shocking twist- when defeated, they let out a small explosion which can burn or paralyze her foe in an instant. A fun fact about this technique is that any experience the illusions gain during their existence in attacking the foe is transferred to Gaijou once they are dispersed. It's also useful for training purposes, since the total amount of experience Gaijou gains is multiplied by the total number of illusions being used to train. On a side note, stationary illusions are easier to maintain than moving ones.
 * Meikyō: Sakura (明鏡桜, Soul Mirror: Cherry Blossoms): A drastically augmented and enhanced Meikyō; unlike the regular Meikyō; Sakura allows Gaijou to alter the foe's perception in order to force them to believe that there are several dozen duplicates of herself before her foe. The number is dependent upon the amount of energy Gaijou exerts, so at peak condition, it could be a few hundred duplicates. They think and attack independently of Gaijou, or if Gaijou so wishes, they can work at her word. These replicas have many things in common with the real deal; including sharing the exact same energy as her, so in most cases, it is near impossible to distinguish them from Gaijou. They possess all of Gaijou's abilities, allowing Gaijou to launch small-scale assaults on her foes. This ability can be utilized in tandem with Gaijou's insane speed, creating a chaotic volley of charging attacks which are random in movement.

Intelligence
High-Level Intelligence: Gaijou has shown herself to be intelligent, analytical, perceptive, and deductive. Gaijou appears to be able to determine the pattern of her opponent's battle methods and correctly deduce a proper counter-strategy to defeat her opponent's attacks. Gaijou's intellect is one of the key skills of her fighting style; though by the time she decides to focus on physical skills, Gaijou has taken up a habit of enduring her foe's blows while analyzing and breaking down the structure of the techniques, which grants her the ability to quickly overcome them the second time around. Gaijou is a recognized genius; though this only applies to certain subjects, i.e. the things that interest her; which isn't very much due to her narrowly defined interests. She has a great talent for analyzing and observing everything in her presence, allowing her to quickly understand a person's pattern of thinking and better manipulate them. She is well-versed in the history, strategy, tactics of the worlds, and is privy to knowledge previously unknown to many, such as knowing of the existence of the Dark Brand, as well as the obscure method in which to make one. While it is obvious that her intellect does not extend to her piss-poor knowledge of behaviour of other beings -either because she possesses horrible social skills or everyone around her needs to see a shrink- in regards to minor things such as little bits of trivia about the most random of subjects. Lastly, she has also shown herself as a powerful and flexible tactician, capable of adjusting seamlessly to any given combat situation, if not plan out events well in advance. She understands the strengths, weaknesses and mannerisms of her enemies and creates strategies to achieve victory.
 * Multilingual: Gaijou is fluent in six languages, including French. Although she was unfamiliar with Czech, she was able to recognize the term "Matka Pluku," when somebody told her of Doktor Z's wife's alias.
 * Pop-Culture Savvy: Gaijou is somewhat knowledgeable about popular media, having partially named an alias from the character Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, comparing (albeit sarcastically) the method of the Next-Generation Special Forces creation when Mizuzu told her to Jurassic Park, and once referenced Star Wars by describing Juanita's ship as her very own Death Star.
 * Highly Perceptive Combatant: Despite her supposed disregard for strategy of any kind in her battles and her self-admitted aversion to thinking during battle, being given the name "battle maniac" because of it, Gaijou is a very insightful person, regularly showing more understanding of many a situation than anyone would ever expect from a person like her.
 * Advanced Growth Rate: One of the major reasons why Gaijou is such a deadly foe is because she possesses a high amount of perception when it comes to training, despite loathing participating in training and becoming sick at the very thought about it. Gaijou learns through her body; usually, she doesn't understand any explanations, so her tutors more often than not decide to force her to experience the technique she is meant to learn first-hand by smacking her around with it. This way of learning has proved extremely effective, to the point that she can learn even a master-levelled technique after being smacked across the head with it ten times.
 * Clairvoyance (透視能力, Tōshinōryoku): Due to her keen intellect and enhanced eyesight; Gaijou is capable of utilizing a variant of clairvoyance based around observation; this enables her to avoid her foe's blows; though only barely, before following up by utilizing not much effort which allows her to achieve the perfect position to attack not less than a second after the foe's blow misses—neatly tying into her fighting style, unarmed or not, utilizing attacks that take two steps to ensure that her foes are thoroughly beaten into the ground.

Energy
Tremendous Amounts of Energy: Being what basically amounts to an alien, Gaijou possesses a grand amount of energy. Gaijou has natural control over the exertion of her energy, keeping it contained to the point where it is virtually impossible to detect her by normal means, though the constant effort can be taxing. The presence it exudes is completely at odds with her personality and appearance; the spiritual pressure itself is a vibrant crimson, crackling intensely when Gaijou focuses; when Gaijou's power is at it's peak, it transforms into the frightening visage of a Chinese dragon which surrounds her, striking fear into the hearts of her foes. It is so great it can be felt from a great distance and it has the tendency to make people perspire in fear. Her skill and control at using manipulating her energy aura allows her to perform a variety of abilities. Additionally, the sheer aura radiating from her person has the additional effect of affecting entire areas to the point of disrupting energy attacks from enemies, as well as affecting others from seemingly miles away. Gaijou's energy is called an Energy Core, which is a fundamentally different from those of any other being. While any other being's body can be considered a machine which creates energy, hers acts as a factory which creates energy. It functions as an enormous energy core with tremendous capacity that generates energy independent from her body simply through breathing. This allows for a case where she herself is so out of energy that she is unable access the energy without a proper "starting key" get the extra energy flowing.
 * Energy Absorption: As her way of combat, Gaijou can draw in energy from the surroundings, merging the collected energy with their own in order to manifest powerful weapons in a fight. Due to her experience, Gaijou is capable of drawing in energy from the atmosphere; as it is similar to how the principle of her Hyper Beam attack. In Gaijou's eyes, there is no difference between energy particles and regular energy as a source of power; she is highly powerful with both. All of the time, Gaijou manifests the energy as well as particles into gauntlets, allowing her to fight hand-to-hand with even more strength. Gaijou is also able to suck energy particles from inanimate objects via an unknown method.
 * Kidōtai (鬼道耐, Resistance of the Demon Way): Gaijou's immense power grants her extremely strong resistance to any type of magic; it is capable of completely neutralizing magic of any type. This Kidōtai is capable of allowing Gaijou to charge in without fear to quickly determine the outcome of the battle with a slash. This is especially true against those who dedicate their lives to practicing and unlocking the mysteries of the essence of magic, putting her at an overwhelming advantage and giving them little chance of victory should they face her directly, as spells instantly disappear simply from touching her, and even the greatest master of magic's spell are ineffective on her to the point where even Gaijou looks down on her abilities.
 * Seventh Sense (セブンス•センス, Sebunsu Sensu): The Seventh Sense is the sense beyond the Sixth, which has been achieved since Gaijou has fully mastered her power—it enables her to perform miracles. The power of this sense is able to overcome the loss of the other six, reaching her true potential, surpassing all energy limits, and enabling her to move at the speed of light. Such an act is known as a miracle. Most deities hate that regular beings are capable of performing miracles, because once this power was once exclusive to them. With the Seventh Sense, Gaijou is completely capable of sensing the environment around her with her energy, not depending on her other senses.
 * Maryoku Hōshutsu: Yami (魔力放出（闇）, Magical Power Burst: Darkness): As the embodiment of all the world's evils, Gaijou's true element is darkness and shadows. Gaijou is capable of transforming her body into a shadow that cannot be touched by normal means. Since she is a physical manifestation of darkness, Gaijou can draw power from the negative energy in the world and the night itself, allowing her power to grow stronger, which is necessary for her to reach maturity. Combined with her status as an energy being, she is unwillingly capable of creating various dark and destructive monsters that are capable of possessing people, causing negative and erratic behavior. Within the darkness, all of the other elements are deprived of their effectiveness; making Gaijou inherently superior to many other elemental users. The darkness cannot be practically used in any way, as it cannot be reshaped or anything of the sort. It stains anybody it touches with a strong curse and melts them as if they were being digested. The pain and fear felt before death remains as energy and becomes the next curse to seek out living people. It will kill anyone it touches unless they can remove it from their body before they are melted away. Those who are not dissolved will be assaulted mentally by "All the World's Evil", eventually going insane or left cursed by its after effects.
 * MP Haste (MPヘイスト, MP Heisuto): MP Haste is an inherent skill of Gaijou's; which enables her to gather magical energy much faster than many other mages; especially when she has been recently drained of power, allowing Gaijou to get back to casting powerful spells easily.

Other Skills
Enhanced Smell: Gaijou has enhanced senses, outright stating her nose is as sharp as a dog's. This can work in her favour; as she is able to sniff out "darkness" and people with evil intentions; but it also means that her nose is ultra-sensitive as well.

Accelerated Gear
Starlight Gear ( 星の光の籠手(スターライト･ギア) , "Sutāraito Gia"), also known as the Gauntlet of the Light of Stars, is the name of Gaijou's Accelerated Gear. In its usual state, Starlight Gear resembles a large gauntlet that covers up most of her left arm that also possesses shield-like qualities and is crimson and azure in colouration. This fist attachment possesses multiple spiked protrusions, appearing rather similar to a drill which can inflict piercing, penetrating damage upon her foe. It has multiple exhaust ports on the sides; and by utilizing them, Gaijou can add fourty additional tonnes to the power of her punches. What should be noted is that Gaijou's Accelerated Gear is completely unique from any others; while it is indeed materialized from her soul, due to having no reincarnation cycle—indeed staying the same in any and all timelines, the Accelerated Gear has no "Holy" nor "Demonic" Forms to speak of; instead always being at its top strength from the very beginning. However, there is a downside; its Complete Form takes much more time and effort to rouse than any other Accelerated Gear, which can lead to unfortunate losses against powerful foes.

Starlight Gear Special Ability: With Starlight Gear, Gaijou is able to manipulate and alter matter, whether it be energy or physical by using her own energy; this technique is noted to be composed of both science and sorcery. Such an ability was once known as Alchemy (錬金術, Renkinjutsu) in ancient times. With this, Starlight Gear allows her to utilize nearly anything in the environment to supplement her abilities in battle. The most powerful constructs can be transmuted from materials where the ley lines over the world lie; these constructs are touted as some of the best weapons to exist. Despite the sheer power of this ability, Starlight Gear requires Gaijou to be in physical contact with what she touches in order for it to work. However, to achieve such wondrous skills, Gaijou must first understand the structure and properties of the energy makeup of the material to be transmuted, before using her energy to break down the physical structure into a liquid state, before reforming it into a new shape. Thanks to her keen eyesight and knowledge, she has a near omniscient understanding of her surroundings at all times.
 * Hyper Beam (ハイパービーム, Haipā Bīmu): Hyper Beam is Gaijou's signature attack; it is a special and incredibly powerful beam; to use it, Gaijou concentrates her energy into her left index finger and releases it in the form of a long line of shifting rainbow colors that travels at very high speeds towards its target. The Hyper Beam blast can range in size from a small shot, to a full-sized cannon blast, to a near atomic-explosion. Gaijou's tremendous speed allows her to move faster than the Hyper Beam itself, allowing her to fire multiple blasts from different directions; it is a powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large-scale damage and destruction with high penetrative power. Gaijou is also able to charge-up this technique to produce considerably more damage. Interestingly, Gaijou has the ability to shoot the Hyper Beam with virtually unlimited ammo; and she can deliberately weaken the attack so that it merely stuns the opponent rather than kill them. It has two settings; the first form emits a higher-velocity beam with enough momentum to breach any defense. However, the damage dealt to the target without penetrating the defense is significantly reduced due to its lower energy transfer. The second mode is like a classic beam attack: the energy particles have less velocity and, while less penetrating, quickly transfer their energy to the target upon impact, reverting back to pure energy and destroying the target from within. The Hyper Beam is an energy collection attack and thus becomes far more powerful the later it's used, and it is Gaijou's most powerful attack. It is most useful when activated towards the end of a battle between high-level opponents, since the area will be saturated with excess energy from their attacks. It is a recycling of the energy particles just used and spread over the battlefield. Therefore, even though Gaijou has been exhausted from energy, the ability can still be invoked.
 * Shotgun (ショットガン, Shottogan): Gaijou gathers energy into Starlight Gear and then swings it in an arc, releasing the energy in the form of an enormous multitude of blasts which function similarly to shotgun fire. While this technique is nowhere near as powerful as the regular Hyper Beam, one of it's major advantages is that the blasts are more widespread than the continuous torrent of blasts that Hyper Beam usually is; this makes it rather effective against swift or invisible opponents—or even large crowds of enemies. The attack of the Shotgun is capable of striking multiple opponents at high speeds; the blasts often veering off wildly in all directions in order to hit those difficult-to-find opponents.
 * Shinsei Ibukishō (新星一颯晶, Nova Whisper Mirror): With this ability, Gaijou's power is increased for every time she has utilized Hyper Beam one-handed; and the skills of multiple fortes are dampened; lessening the damage slightly. It should be noted that the residual energy of Hyper Beam that is left upon her gauntlet from each blast scatters off her fist and becomes absorbed into Starlight Gear; causing a faint golden glow to surround her entirety. This small aura releases a miniature electrical discharge every few moments; enhancing her power as the battle progresses; this is done by applying her energy energy to the very core of Starlight Gear, causing a chain reaction which multiplies its power exponentially. In return, her psychic powers can interact with her energy and physical power, amplifying that as well, making Gaijou far faster, stronger, and more resilient as the battle progresses, in addition to increasing her skill parameters sans her energy output. Additionally, Gaijou can transfer the amplified power to any being or object she desires, granting her a decent support role. Doing so strengthens and augments the target of her choice, granting them Gaijou's boosted power; though at the time Gaijou's power is transferred to her target, her own powers are drained to the point that it seems as if she never received these boosts. The transfer is initiated by forming a thin line of energy between Gaijou and the target; however, it should be noted if utilized against a foe, Gaijou can use the lines to swing her target around.
 * Ibukishō Nagare (一颯晶流れ, Whisper Mirror Stream): Instead of utilizing this force to assault her foe, Gaijou can project the accumulated power of Shinsei Ibukishō outwards in front of her figure in the form of a seven layered shield in the shape of an iridescent flower with seven petals. Each layer has the defensive power of a fortress wall, and Gaijou cannot personally recall any attack that would be capable of penetrating even the first layer. It is necessary for Gaijou to provide constant energy to form the shield, and if it is damaged, she will feel pain and receive damage in accordance. Once projected outwards, this shield nullifies the foe's next attack if the attack has more power than Gaijou's own; immediately after nullifying the foe's attack, Gaijou can resume fighting.
 * Restoration: Gaijou is capable of the restoration of objects and organisms. Able to repair damages and heal injuries, she can also revert an item back to its original components (i.e. reverting a table back into its component lumber). This ability allows Gaijou to perform a range of interesting feats, including trapping the enemy (by restoring pieces of a broken crate around the target) and tracking (restoring a torn piece of clothing, which will seek out and reattach itself to the original article of clothing). However, she cannot resurrect the dead, and if her ability is used when Gaijou is in a foul mood, the item will warp and be improperly restored.
 * Softening: Gaijou is able to soften any material, even the hardest of diamonds. This can provide a cushion for a softer landing, or create a backlash when the object returns to normal (like a catapult when it is pulled and released). It can even soften moving objects like bullets.
 * Thunder in Heaven Great Vigor (雷天双壮, Raiten Sōsō): Gaijou integrates her ability into her flesh and fuses it her body. In doing so, she becomes a mass of electrically charged particles. Once she has become a mass of charged particles, she separates positively charges particles from her body and positions them to create a certain extent of an electrical field. The charged particles and electrical field can be changed at will from a latent state to an active one, and vice versa, by Gaijou, who has taken the ability into her body. When the electrical field becomes active, its powerful electric potential difference draws the negatively charged particles that make up her body toward the positively charged particles of the field with tremendous force. Thus, Gaijou can move at high speeds via the electrical discharge, traveling at 150km per second, because that is the average progression velocity of the advance discharge when lightning strikes; this is alternately called Raisoku Shundō (雷速瞬動, Lightning Speed Instant Movement). Due to the velocity in which she attacks, Gaijou's attacks are enhanced drastically; however, her attacks become more predictable the more that the battle drags on, and when transporting herself, she can only transport to one point of a place per transport, changing a point in space is next to impossible during transport. Because this form is changing Gaijou's body into actual particles of lightning, she faces the risk of losing her body structure and ceasing to exist as a person.

Complete Form (全式, Zenshiki; Expressions of All): Forbidden Armour of Khronos (覇時間神の聖来臨, (フォービドウン・アーマー・オブ・クロノス, Fōbidoun Āmā obu Kuronosu): Also known as the Holy Advent of the Supreme Time God, this is the manifestation of her Complete Form; black slashes form under her eyes, which then thicken noticeably and merge with the shadows formed on his face, which become stylized black; her skin tone also becomes much darker. Gaijou's entire body turns a horrific pitch-black, with crimson markings around her chest, arms, as well as under and above her eyes. Her hair spikes on end and grows out as twin chains manifest upon her arms. Additionally, her Complete Form grants her massive wings of darkness, which have galaxies and stars imbued in them erupt from her back which enables flight. This visage likens Gaijou to the Seraphim of Judaism, who were said to be the highest ranking angels, and this was signified by their six wings. For a weapon, Gaijou can summon an enormous broadsword with nine orbs engraved in a zigzagging pattern on the blade and a red orb on the cross-guard. On the sides of the cross-guard, there are golden angelic wings. It has an even brighter trim around the blade, and around the orbs, there are crystals. This form increases her powers, abilities, speed and defense drastically. The Forbidden Armour of Khronos greatly augments the user's power; giving Gaijou enough strength to effortlessly deflect a collect-and-use beam attack. Additionally, she is granted the ability of flight, as she would fly above the ground at maximum speed, and take to full flight when her power reaches her peak. The Forbidden Armour of Khronos also enhances and increases the abilities and skills unique to Gaijou, such as her darkness being granted a boost in power, and additional abilities as well. Gaijou's powers include the traditional flight and invulnerability abilities, as well as an enhancement to her darkness. She also receives a significant increase in speed and strength; her speed is enhanced to the point where she is able to keep up with a transcendental being, and she is strong enough to send them flying with a single uppercut.

Complete Form Special Abilities: In her Complete Form, Gaijou's special ability is Chronokinesis (時能力 (クロノキネシス), Kuronokinesisu, Japanese for Time Power, English for Chronokinesis); it enables her to control the essence of time itself. She can manipulate the flow of time of a general area or a specific target in various manners, the basics revolving around accelerating, slowing, stopping and even rewinding or looping. The range of area affected is proportional to the mastery of Gaijou, with top levels can affect the entire space and time continuum. Since "time" exists and flows within "space", the two are interrelated, and by manipulating time, one is basically distorting space proportionally. It can be even used to stop an object's "time" by freezing it in midair. Gaijou can also rewind a damaged object's "time" to restore it to its original state, just like turning the ice back into water; and she produce 'bubbles' of time that show the various potential things that the item could do and then pick one of the timelines whenever she wants to. The effects of this relative distortion can vary, such as controlling time of a mere object or person may not affect the space she resides in, but to twist the time-stream of a region of space can cause the area itself to warp. Due to time existing in one space, manipulating it cannot affect another dimension.


 * Hakugeki (白激, Rage of Whiteness): In her Complete Form, Gaijou is capable of sensing and gathering natural energy around her; essentially drawing the energy of nature inside of her and blending it with her own regular energy, adding an entirely new dimension of power to her regular energy, resulting in the creation of golden energy, which cannot be seen by anyone other than highly powerful beings. This new energy drastically increases all of her parameters and all of her techniques sevenfold, allowing her to take on even foes much more powerful than herself; entering a state of enhanced awareness and peak physical ability. This also grants her the ability to detect and identify other people's energy even from very long distances away. This ability also enables her to predict the movements of her enemies for easy retaliation. Hakugeki enables Gaijou to manipulate the golden energy to encase her body as an aura of pure energy, which is able to act as an extension of her body and cannot be seen by anyone other than highly-powerful opponents. By using the aura, Gaijou is capable of drastically enhancing the range and power of her unarmed and armed attacks; meaning that strikes that would seemingly or normally miss will actually be able to strike the target with relative ease. At its strongest point, a single blow has enough force to cripple and completely finish off her foe easily. The enhanced speed and perception of energy pressure gained by releasing combined with the skillful body movements of Gaijou's usual fighting style, allow her to evade the attacks of her enemy at the last possible moment.
 * Enhanced Hyper Beam: In her Complete Form, Gaijou retains her Hyper Beam, and it can be used in the same manners, but can be used in an enhanced form, with explosively augmented power and speed. Before firing it, Gaijou intensifies the energy used to compose it by convergence and acceleration. With a movement of her fingers, Gaijou unleashes a brilliant white jagged arc which has two angelic wings on each side that flows out of her fingers and fires at an opponent in a swift movement; capable of destroying massive amounts of architecture in one shot. The power of this technique creates a one hundred and fifty meter diameter of extremely high heated energy, and also an electromagnetic field effect- akin to a nuclear explosion.
 * Ultra-Speed Combat: The Forbidden Armour of Khronos enables Gaijou to perform ultra-speed combat, moving at a speed faster than the human eye can comprehend. Even if someone could detect her trajectory, it is near impossible to catch her. Gaijou's speed appears to create up to eight doubles of herself while in motion. These doubles are not illusory; she is moving at a speed between different positions that is faster than the speed of sound. As such, were all the doubles to attack at once, it would mean that Gaijou is attacking from all those positions simultaneously, giving her incredible destructive power. Similarly, because of this same speed, attacking the doubles would be futile as Gaijou would have moved long before the attack even reaches her. Gaijou also becomes fast enough to outrun the Hyper Beam, allowing her to strike and enhance them or launch simultaneous attacks at the opponent from various angles. Her attacks also become so swift that the opponent cannot even perceive them until after they are hit.
 * Ijigoroshi (意地殺し, Spirit Killer): Due to her Chronokinesis; Gaijou is also capable of seeing the mechanics behind each composition of energy that shapes all attacks. So, with every strike that she unleashes with her sword, Gaijou can sever the bonds between all collections of energy, causing them to regress into nothingness. The moment that the energy particles are broken down, Gaijou utilizes her psychic powers once again to transform her energy pressure into a "positive magnet" to draw in the energy particles dissolved by this ability as she allows her decimating energy to accept the foreign energy, converging it at a single point and consuming it, adding it to her own energy reserves. Once the Forbidden Armour of Khronos absorbs the energy, it becomes Gaijou's to use against her opponents as she chooses. It's during this state of disruption that Gaijou can actually physically touch or grab the foe as well as slash it, negating and disrupting it, rendering it useless for a few moments.
 * Armour of the Time God (時間神の鎧, Tokijin no Yoroi): Armor of the Time God is a special defensive technique; using it, Gaijou covers herself in energy which then hardens and compresses, giving her an enormous boost in offense and defense; it surrounds her body in a continually rippling manner. Aside from providing unparalleled defense in battle, the Armour of the Time God has a strong anti-energy effect, which weakens all incoming energy projectiles and slowly erodes binding technique cast upon Gaijou. Surprisingly, this is a rather unorthodox form of armour; as it merely takes upon the form of undulating energy which is flowing in defense form and jagged in offense form. It increases physical attacks to the point where the shockwave from a single punch can destroy five houses in a row; and it is capable of protecting her from a full-power Kurohitsugi with relative ease. This also gives her a form of hyper-speed combat which is compared to even the highest speeds. This compressed energy is also able to be released momentarily in large bursts which work similar to powerful shockwaves.
 * Time Freeze (時間結, Jikanketsu): Gaijou is capable of stopping time, albeit only for roughly three seconds. When using this ability, Gaijou often seems to be teleporting or moving at impossible speeds; so it was debunked that Gaijou cannot move at light speed, but merely, he is subconsciously using Time Freeze to move. This ability seems to be extremely exhausting, and the intervals of stopped time that Gaijou is able to maintain decreases throughout his later appearances. The nature of the time stop follows the flow of time in the real world, as shown when the duration of time Gaijou was capable of stopping was drastically reduced when a foe accelerated time. This ability can last for a maximum of five seconds; though it will not increase beyond that.
 * Slowing Time (時間鈍化, Jikan Donka): This is a special technique which enables Gaijou to slow down her opponent by employing a time-affecting blast which affects the opponents' perception of time. With her opponents' delayed reactions, Gaijou can move in and attack freely before the opponent has a chance to counter it. However, the range of this jutsu is limited, which means that only people and objects within a certain range of her are affected by this technique. Anything outside the range is unaffected by the jutsu and the people inside of the range, view things outside of it as moving extremely fast. In addition, anything that originated from outside of Gaijou's area-of effect will retain its normal speed even if it enters her area-of-effect afterwards.
 * Time Erasure (時間削除, Jikansakujo): With this technique, Gaijou is capable of erasing time, in which everything except herself suddenly changed to be in the state they would have been a short time later (at most ten seconds). Time still flows normally for Gaijou, who can interact with the time-erased objects for the amount of time that would have normally intervened (to Gaijou this appears in the form of the would-have-been intervening objects' states being superimposed on each other). The nature of the time erase is such that, for example, a bullet that would have hit Gaijou will suddenly be shifted to be on her other side as where it would be seconds later. The ability to erase time also is relevant to Gaijou's own stamina, as she admitted that in the weakened state her body was in from the lack of iron in her blood, she would only be able to erase time for barely more than an instant.
 * Time Travel (時間旅行, Jikanryokō): A plot-essential ability of Gaijou's; it has its roots in time travel. Her usage of it is limited to localized individual time travel, but others cannot believe that is the true nature of the ability. She uses it to make herself into the "completed Gaijou Hoshizora" of ten years later, but it is only a side effect of the ability. The concept of time travel revises records and rewrites events, operating parallel worlds in other worlds. Using it, she gathers all of her energy within her body and focuses it in a single point—her soul. This causes her soul to absorb and expel the energy within her body, which has undergone a unique evolution. This energy heats up exponentially, until it appears that she is bathed in a glowing light. Her voice echoes across the area, causing cracks to run across the space itself and a creaking sound to echo throughout the surrounding landscape like that of a collapsing cathedral. Stopping time to shut away the light, she submerges herself in her own darkness, to the vast canal of stars where everything other than herself has died out. She manipulates the time of the universe, enabling her, now filled with energy, causing a dramatic change in the area. The earth around her feet disappears, and green grass shows through. It is not from the effect of earth growing, but rather that it is rewritten to a different landscape. As if to criticize the it, all the factors come to erase her actions. Her discharging power won't tolerate her, and as if to say that the miracle will destroy the world, the world moves to eliminate her to protect itself. She burns with pain throughout the cells in her body, but it is all the same as the pain and isolation of reaching the her wanted time in flesh and blood. She causes a blue tornado to swirl up, and begins her swindling of the world. Time turns back, shifting the landscape through a variety of seasons, as the primal scene is rewritten; being transported to the exact same place that she is standing, only in a different date and time; any time that she wishes. This Time Travel gives Gaijou a brief degree of choice in quickly traveling backwards or forwards in time and to another location as well.
 * Khronos Execution (時刻執行, Jikoku Shikkō): Gaijou's most powerful technique; where she thrusts her left hand forward and condenses energy within it, compressing it unto it's utmost point. There, she adds in the Chronokinesis values which intermingle within the small sphere, turning it a void-esque pitch-black in colouration. There, she punches the sphere forward towards her opponent with tremendous speed and force, tearing through the atmosphere, releasing overwhelming amounts of energy from anything it touches, that somehow affects the immediate vicinity and brings the whole area to a complete halt. The vicinity freezes, sans for Gaijou and her opponent. Any and all projectiles that the opponent utilizes are brought to a complete stop, essentially working as a time stop ability. Upon contact with the opponent, or if it impacts within the foe's vicinity, the black sphere creates anomalies in time, and detonates in the form of an immense dome of destruction that expands outwards for ten meters, freezing anything within the dome to a complete stop until the dome dissipates, returning things to normal, sans the destruction the attack has caused. Anything hit by this attack begins to age rapidly, as a devastating side-effect. Along with its astounding destructive power, the attack has a delayed effect if the initial blast should fail, wherein the target will be blasted by residual effects left over by the beam. While not as overwhelming as the initial blast, the after-effect can catch foes off guard. The attack requires about half of a second to travel a few ten thousand-kilometer distance, and Gaijou can immediately fire the next attack after confirming a miss, but after 10 attacks, she will run out of energy. The immense power of this attack makes it the most powerful attack in the series upon it's full début, and it would not be rivaled for decades to come. This attack relies on the indiscriminate targeting of her energy to track down the opponent's energy. Gaijou can move the attack in any direction, or stop it in mid-flight, and with a snap of her fingers, detonate it any time she wishes, making it even more deadly. In order for Khronos Execution to fire, a significant amount of charge time is needed and limiting this attack to a single shot in battle. However the strategic value of that single shot is not to be underestimated, though it must be used carefully, for even Gaijou's sturdiness can only protect herself from the edges of a nuclear explosion.
