Sakamaki Izayoi's powers and abilities
Gifts
Code: Unknown - Not much is known about his ability as the Gift Card, a fragment of Laplace, could not categorize his ability and so named it [Code: Unknown]. Despite this, he seems to know his power well, being able to gauge whether or not he can take an opponent. He can defeat those blessed with [Divinity] such as a water god and Weser, deflect a lance attack from the weakened Leticia, stop a sword attack from Laius, who is a descendant of the hero Perseus, with one finger and defeat the Kraken and Graea sisters, monsters that appeared in the legend of Perseus, with ease. Many people who have seen him fight have realized that his power is capable of destroying gifts. Black Rabbit also stated that his gift has the power to destroy heaven and earth, and later with a statement by Baron that it could even destroy the stars. This is shown during his battle with Algol and Black Percher, where he easily deflected their attacks. The force he emits behind his strength and speed is described in the Light Novels to be of the Third Cosmic Velocity or even faster than that.
Supernatural Strength: This seems to be the main function of Izayoi's Gift as it grants him immense strength. He uses his strength to throw objects at the 'Third Cosmic Velocity', run on walls by digging his feet into them, and even compress Leticia's lance into a ball by simply punching it. Back when Izayoi fought Baron La Croix before he got summoned to Little Garden, Izayoi could lift the entire building and throw it at him with no effort. In Volume 4, Izayoi easily defeated an army of Celtic Titan. Izayoi also could keep up with Saurian Demon King in Volume 5, as both of them neatly matched against each other though it was quite difficult for Izayoi because at that time he still didn't have martial art skills. When Izayoi knew His Highness was the one that injured Black Rabbit, in anger he beated him so violently that His Highness couldn't protect himself for a moment before his company came to save him. In Volume 7 both Izayoi and His Highness got a re-match at the Kouen City, His Highness admitted that Izayoi were stronger than him even though that Izayoi didn't feel any different from the powers of their fists. The punches of Izayoi were strong enough to destroy mountains and rivers, split the oceans or seas, on par with planetary crustal movement and even shake the stars. As seen in Volume 8 when he thrown hundred of punches which could shake stars on Azi Dahaka at the Third Cosmic Velocity, thus overwhelmed him for a short amount of time before he put up his Aurora Pillar.
Enhanced Perception: Izayoi possesses an exceptional sixth sense, easily signaled out Fores Garo's henchman in Episode 3 and Leticia's presence when she was hiding outside the window in Episode 4.
Supernatural Speed: His speed is said to be on par with Black Rabbit, who is mentioned to be part of the fastest species in Little Garden. However, his speed is different from hers as he is able to retain that speed as shown when he blocked an attack meant for Black Rabbit, returned her safely to a rooftop and proceeded to return to fight Black Percher. He was fast enough to leaves his afterimages, as seen in volume 5 when battling the Saurian Demon King and in volume 6, when chasing the Demon King of Confusion at Kouen City. If Izayoi were to put his full strength behind his every step, the residential structures that weren’t stable enough would most likely be blown away.
Supernatural Durability: Izayoi has been shown to be rather durable, being the only one out of the three problem children to not need a Gift of Protection to survive his fights and take on powerful attacks without being injured. It took Weser with double his power and possessing [Divinity] to only injure Izayoi and even then the injury did not even slow Izayoi down. However, his durability isn`t invincibile, he's shown to be rather weak against bladed weapons wielded by a strong enough individual, and he suffered quite a bit during his fight against Saurian Demon King. In his battle with Azi Dakaha, Izayoi was stabbed through his abdomen and had his organs punctured. It should be noticed that when Izayoi's Aurora Pillar made contact with Azi Dahaka's [Avesta], he barely survived the force of impact, though Azi Dahaka later explained that their powers canceled each other out so that Izayoi could survive the blast. After his fight against Azi Dahaka, all the bones and the muscles in his body were minced.
Supernatural Stamina: During the fight with Azi Dahaka, although Izayoi received a lot of injuries and therefore his stamina almost ran out after the fight with His Highness, he was still able to fight with every bone and muscle in his body almost completely chopped up and crushed. Izayoi was the first one that held back Azi Dahaka for the others to run away even though he was already on the verge of his death.
Supernatural resistance: Based on his ability that allow him to negate and destroy Gifts, Izayoi has resistance to supernatural powers. Several examples include when Izayoi was totally immune to Ratten's mind control music in volume 2, Baron placed a Death Curse on Izayoi but it never took hold on him in volume 3, and when Demon King of Confusion stopped time in all of Kouen City and its residents, but Izayoi was completely unaffected in volume 6.
Aurora Pillar (fanmade name) - A power that revolves around creating a light construct in the shape of a small pillar which then enlarges to the point of reaching skyward, he then swings it at his enemy. This is the true manifestation of Izayoi's power to destroy Gifts. Its power could defeat Divine Spirits, eliminate all of the stars in the night sky and annihilate everything in the material world. He has used it for four times: to destroy the pocket dimension Baron La Croix created, to destroy the huge dragon's heart, in his fight against Azi Dakaha - when the Aurora Pillar made contact with the [Avesta] created a vortex with power comparable to the collison between stars that could destroy All Creation and their clash reduced more than half of a volcano peak to nothing more than subatomic particles, the force unleashed from Aurora Pillar capable of absorbing the light of the stars and pierce through the veil of Little Garden, and finally in Volume 11 with the help from Baron La Croix, he erased Maxwell Demon Lord by his Aurora Pillar with only one shot. His Highness described it as a "Another Cosmology", the secret techniques of the pantheons of Gods to construct their own worlds - universes. Izayoi also made a compliment by himself that his Aurora Pillar is shape of a possessing cosmology of humanity. It has been hinted from Volume 2 when Izayoi managed to unleash his full power against Black Percher after she mocked Izayoi that he didn't have enough strength to destroy stars but Black Rabbit stopped him due to the plan and in Volume 5, during the fight between him and Saurian Demon King that if Izayoi used this trumpcard, he would not be able to control it enough to let Saurian survive the hit, it also should be noted that when Izayoi put up his Aurora Pillar even Azi Dahaka got shocked after saw it and he had to activated his [Avesta] to counter him, making the Aurora Pillar is extremely powerful and very dangerous even for the strong Demon Lords. Only the like of His Highness or Azi Dahaka in which they also possessed "Another Cosmology" like Izayoi could match against his Aurora Pillar.
Izayoi created the Aurora Pillar from his right hand in volume 3 to kill the Huge Dragon
Grass Bracelet - A bracelet made of grass. It gives the owner the ability to talk to griffins. Sala gave this to Izayoi to let him communicate with Gry during the assault upon the huge dragon in the Underwood arc.
Natural Abilities
Keen Intellect: Izayoi is incredibly intelligent. He has created plans to help the No Names in both battle and commerce. Izayoi has shown that he is knowledgeable in religions, fairy tales and mythologies, having easily identified the [Perseus] artifacts, solved the riddle of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, and identified constellations and asterims. When Izayoi is left behind to stall for time against Azi Dakaha, Asuka remarked that without him, they cannot even come up with a proper plan of attack.
Hand-to-Hand Combat: It has been stated that Izayoi is a very competent fighter and also has amazing reflexes and potential. Saurian Demon King once remarked that Izayoi had the potential to be an experienced martial artist with his skills. In Last Embryo 2, when Bull Demon King managed to smash Izayoi with a pole, Izayoi immediately blocked and kicked it off his hands timely. Izayoi also had shown an arm-locking technique when he tried to pin Bull Demon King to the ground and in near the end of the fight, he threw Bull Demon King away by grabbing his horns, making him crash into several maze wall layers, Bull Demon King remarked that he didn't expect Izayoi finally got some martial art skills. Up to now it's still unknown how Izayoi got them after 3 years of timeskip but its implied Kouryuu may have taught him.B.D.A: The Blood Accelerator Device in form of a glove created by Homura in order to extert all of the star particles inside Izayoi's body. By chanting "Override with Another Crown", Izayoi can turn himself into astral body and capable of limitlessly manipulating the One-second definition, thus allows him to dash at Sixth Cosmic Velocity casually. He used this to stop a rampaging Hercules and throw thousands of punches at lightspeed when fought against a Gaia-possessed Krishna, which could threatening even the like of Star Spirits.
Brahmaastra Replica:The Spear of Absolute Victory that originally belonged to Kuro Usagi granted by Taishakuten, now handed to Izayoi along with some part of her Divinity in order to participate the Sun Authority War. Capable of releasing infinite amount of energy, it used the Fate of Victory as a Gift and can surpass every concepts to defeat the enemy once pierced. Therefore, what needed to resist it is not the Gift that can resist fate, but an Impenetrable Gift or the ability to resist infinite heat.
