Powers and Abilities
God-like Wisdom Power:

Immense Strength:

Immense Durability:

Jigenikou (次元移行, Dimension Travel): The Outsider possessed the ability to travel to/from dimensions outside of the Amenokai, such as, , and the  with apparent ease. However, The Outsider was unable to travel to the domains and home-realms of the other Tenjin unless specifically invited, such as Tougenkyou and the Hall of the Reaper. Despite this limitation, The Outsider was able to travel to the Soul King Palace uninhibited and Tougenkyou at one point.

Hollow Influence & Control: The Outsider possessed the ability to subtly influence Hollows to do his bidding.

Taikoubutai (対抗部隊, Opposing Forces):
 * Tanjou (誕生, Creation): The opposite of Zetsumetsu, Tanjou was the light in the darkness of the Tenjin's power.
 * Saisei (再生, Rebirth):


 * Kizou (寄贈, Gift):


 * Zetsumetsu (絶滅, Destruction): The opposite of Tanjou, Zetsumetsu was the darker aspect of a Tenjin's power. Rather than create what was not there and rebuild what was lost like Tanjou, Zetsumetsu represented pure death and unhindered destruction on a scale some would call apocalyptic. Only a few of the Tenjin were proud of such power, but it was normal for them since it was already deeply ingrained into their jaded personalities. For others of their kind, it was a power the Tenjin reluctantly accepted, since it could potentially serve a noble purpose if used correctly. Zetsumetsu encompassed all that was deemed violent, especially abilities that dealt harm onto others.
 * Kamishini (神殺, God-Killing): Due to their mysterious origins, the Tenjin were considered immortal and were able to survive the most severe of injuries. Tenjins never suffered from permanent death and could easily revive and reform back in the Amenokai. In order to protect themselves from other Higher Beings of Power, the Tenjin developed the ability to permanently slay Divine Beings through unknown means. However, the power consequently extended to themselves as well, meaning a Tenjin could permanently end the existence of another Tenjin. The Tenjin were also highly susceptible to God-class weaponry and those blessed with immortality from Tenjin Gifts also become susceptible to Kamishini.

Soul Consumption & Absorption: Tenjin possessed the ability to consume the energy and essence of any entity for empowerment and sustenance, Tenjin included. In addition, they gain the memories and knowledge belonging to the victim. Generally, the ability was considered taboo by the Tenjin due to their small population. However, The Outsider ignored the decree and used this ability to consume the essence of fellow Tenjin, The Joker, killing him.
 * Tenryoku Absorption:

Kamigi (神技, God Art):

Trivia

 * Amongst the Tenjin, The Outsider represented Anarchy and Chaos, whereas The One represented Order and Statism. The Soul King, whose true name was The Balancer, maintained the balance between two Tenjin. With The Soul King in continuous dormancy however, The Outsider constantly attempts to subvert the balance by spreading chaos throughout the Real World and the Spiritual Realms.
 * Due to the actions undertaken by The Outsider, it can be considered to be the true mastermind and antagonist of Bleach: Tribulations and Bleach (Kenji Hiroshi), having been either responsible (indirectly & directly) for all major events in his quest to return the Greater Tenjin, namely The Mother, to power.
 * At one point, The Outsider assumed a female form called Lilith to seduce and corrupt his son, Tenshi God-King Lucifer, becoming his "concubine" and convincing him to rise up against Michael and The One so that he could fully ascend into Godhood and become the Supreme Ruler of Tougenkyou. This ultimately resulted in the Great Tougenkyou War.
 * The Outsider was directly responsible for the creation of the of, and the Fallen Realm of Kōhai Tochi. He was also the Creator of the First Arrancar, Averian, one of Kenji Hiroshi's most infamous rivals and enemy.


 * The Outsider was the creator of three Tenjin Artifacts: Heart of Hueco Mundo, Heart of Atlantis, and Heart of Soul Society.

Behind the Scenes

 * The Outsider was eventually revealed to be the mastermind behind many of Averian's actions upon the spiritual world at large, albeit his presence was more implied than felt; despite this he became one of two primary antagonistic forces in Bleach (Kenji Hiroshi). Despite this The Outsider was seen just once by the main protagonists, and this occurred near the very end of Bleach: Sun and Moon Chronicles, which was otherwise referred to as Part I. And even then his identity was a mystery until the events of Part IV. The chapter he appeared in was Kickoff of the First Spiritual War, and in this appearance he defeats Tadashi Kori and Shin Nagakura with swift ease, whilst releasing Averian from Shisō Kekkai. He disappears just as quickly however without uttering a word, whilst appearing amused.


 * The Outsider masterminded many of Averian's schemes; to the point that, sometime following The Collapse in-story, Kenji Hiroshi referred to Averian as little more than a side-show attraction. The Outsider, for example, was responsible for Averian's interest in Sōjirō Kusaka. Per the beginning of Bleach: Cataclysm Kenji no longer considered Averian his primary opponent and instead allowed his son, Kentaro Hiroshi, to deal with his old nemesis for the most part. Kenji shifted his focus almost completely from Averian to The Outsider, in order to protect Kei Yume.


 * The Hollowfication that plagued Kentaro was long thought to be caused by Averian, as explored in Averian Strikes Back: Kentaro attacks Kenji!?, though it was soon discovered otherwise. His Hollowfication was in fact caused through Averian's connection to The Outsider, which even the latter was unaware of for many years. Kentaro would later put this connection to use as it allowed him to land the killing blow against the Tenjin.
