Power Systems

Superpowers within a setting that usually goes by a universal term by the characters who are bestowed and use them. The powers may come in the form of martial arts, magic, psionics, part of their biology, or other kind of superpowers. Each person has a power(s) that is normally unique to them, yet ironically, the people's powers are classified into a group occasionally under a name. The individual superpower(s) of the person may have a title from the user that can help describe what it can do. Depending on the media, a setting can have characters that have one power or a combo platter of powers. The trope can be found in most Eastern media such as anime, manga, and light novels while rarely found in Western pieces of media.

Anime and Manga

 * Nen from Hunter X Hunter is a technique to use one's aura in different applications. To gain a proper grasp of Nen, one would need to practice the Four Major Principles. Ten is concealing the body with aura where it can give basic defense from emotional and physical attacks. Zetsu is the suppression of aura to the point of transparency. Ren is outputting aura on a high level to increase physical strength and durability. Hatsu is the release of a person's expression of Nen that follows six categories and based on the users' preference. The six categories of auras are born with one of these types, which are Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Emission, Manipulation, and Specialization. Enhancers can empower their bodies and items, and Transmutors can change their auras to match qualities of known matter or an imagined matter. Emitters can project their aura in different ways, and Manipulators can control living organisms and inanimate objects; Specialists use aura unique from the other five categories. One person is born with one category, but one is not the limit. An Enhancer can show compatibility with Emission and Transmutation. Conjurers and Manipulators can learn Specialization sooner than the others while also showing compatibility to Emission and Conjuration, respectively. Enough Time and training can lead to a combination of powers based on the user.
 * Quirks from My Hero Academia are superhuman powers that usually manifest around the age of four or even when a person is born. They can gain genetically whether from parents and even can have a fusion of the two while also gaining one unrelated to genetic lineage. Quirks fall into three types called Emitter, Transformation, and Mutant. Emitter types can release matter or energy or alter matter in a certain way. Transformation types can make a temporary alteration of their body, whether hardening their bodies or growing into a giant. Mutant types have to a passively active physical mutation that appears on their bodies such as a tail, vine-like hair, or invisibility.
 * Devil Fruits from One Piece gives a certain power to whatever eats it and falls into three types. Paramecia gives an individual to a physical superhuman ability from creating shock waves to having a rubber body. Zoans can transform into an animal, an animal hybrid form, and their original form. Logia has the power to transform themselves into a certain element like fire, light, ice, or smoke.
 * There is also Haki which is a mysterious power that every living being has in the world of One Piece. Most people may not notice it or fail to awaken the power. Haki can be separated into 3 types which are Kenbunshoku Haki, Busoshoku Haki, and Haoshoku Haki:
 * Kenbunshoku Haki can give a user a sixth sense around them which can be used to sense the presence of others. This method of sensing others can help sense their strength, emotions, and attacks. The more advanced users can even gain limited precognition.
 * Busohoku Haki uses one's spirit as either a defense or a means of offense. This involves using Enhancement, Hardening, and Imbuement. Enhancement can give more power to a person's attacks and durability on their body part or body while also being able to bypass Logia and Paramecia Devil Fruit users. Hardening is the advance step of Enhancement where there are more power and durability. This technique is more distinct due to the coloring on the user's body. Imbuement is another advance technique to Enhancement used on an object the user can imbue in order to increase their offense and durability. This can also be used on Logia and Paramecia. Emission is also another advance form of Enhancement that projects their Haki at a short distance. The more advanced form of Emission is Internal Destruction that can be used to destroy Haki in a person's body. There is also how the techniques of Enhancement and Imbuement can be used in combination with Devil Fruit powers either by their attribute physically or object created from them.
 * Haoshoku Haki is a rare form that cannot be gained from training and one in several million people are born with. This type allows a user to exert their willpower over other living beings. Domination is the technique used to dominate another's mind, which can intimidate until frozen with fear and forcing them to obey commands from the user. Disabling is another technique where a user releases a strong burst of Haki that can cause those with a lower will to fall unconscious. Pressure is the method of using an extreme amount of Haki on an object, which results in the breaking of an object.


 * Sigils from Darwin's Game are a power granted by the titular phone app to its players. The app grants a unique yet randomized ability, which means no one would have the same Sigil.

Telekinetic involves a Sigil that can manipulate matter or even people. Metamorphic is a power that can make a user's body change an attribute or even the form of it. Mind Control types are Sigils that influence or manipulates a target's mind. Scientific Engineering is a power that can create chemical substances. Sense Expansion can increase the five senses or use their sixth sense.
 * Stands from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure which is usually humanoid Guardian Entities that have a unique power related to the user's personality.

 * Justu from Naruto is supernatural arts ninjas use in battle by using their chakra. The technique would require a person forming hand seals while also releasing physical energy and spiritual energy that makes up chakra. Jutsu comes into three categories: Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu. Here explanations of three:
 * Taijutsu is martial arts or the enhancement of physical abilities. It does not typically need chakra, but techniques can be boosted by it and do not require hand seals. They are executed by directly accessing the physical and spiritual energies that depend on the user’s resilience and strength.
 * Genjutsu are sensory illusions a ninja can cast on a victim by using chakra. The user influences the chakra flow of a target’s nervous system, which affects their five senses to cast an illusion.
 * Ninjutsu are techniques that do not fall into the other two categories. Most ninjutsu requires chakra and hand seals while also having many sub-categories such as weaponry, medical ninjutsu, sealing jutsu, and summoning jutsu. Ninjutsu uses two forms of chakra control to use called Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation. Shape Transformation changes the form and movement of chakra to use a technique where the energy can manifest. Nature Transformation is a technique that can alter the properties of chakra in order to use techniques. The ninjutsu is based on the Five Basic Natures that define chakra natures. The five elemental natures are Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water. It is one technique requiring two components necessary for creating or altering a technique, and the second part is Shape Transformation. There is also Kekkei Genkai, which are jutsu that are inherited from parents and are part of a ninja clan’s technique.
 * Kekkei Genkai are unique techniques based on the wielders' DNA and hereditary within ninja clans. They passed down from generations in a clan and followed three types. Dojutsu is eye powers that can enhance perception or give a certain type of vision, like seeing a person's chakra. Advanced Nature Transformation combines two basic chakra natures to make a new one to use ninjutsu, such as fire chakra and earth chakra making lava chakra. The third type is the manipulation of one's body, such as fusing two bodies, manipulating their bones, or absorbing energy all around them.
 * PSI from Psyren is the ability that Psychicers have that manipulate one's thoughts by over-clocking the brain into three basic types: Burst, Trance, and Rise. Burst is the ability to manipulate the world in a certain way such as telekinesis, pryokinesis, healing, and creating constructs of compressed air. Trance is the ability to manipulate the minds of others and can read minds. Rise is the ability to manipulate the body where one can enhance the five senses, physical strength, speed, endurance, and regeneration from damage.
 * Unique Skills from That Time I Got Reincarnated as A Slime are skills that certain individuals can possess. They are unique even if they have similar or the same names, but each has subtle differences from each person. An Otherworlder which reincarnates or summoned usually gains such as skill. Another is by evolving an Extra Skill through training or combining it with another Extra Skill.
 * Abnormalities or Skills from Medaka Box are superhuman abilities possessed by a few humans and categorized as Abnormals. Individuals who possess such power know a Skill Holder. They manifest internally, and user's bodies rarely project them.
 * Minuses are Abnormalities that are warped because of mental negativity. Unlike regular Abnormalities, projection outside of the body is possible and relate to the mental state. Unlike Abnormalities, scientific analyzation for such abilities isn't possible because of how they defy logic and physics.
 * Branch of Sin from Deadman Wonderland are blood manipulation powers that Deadmen are granted due to a parasite in their bodies. Each Branch of Sin uses blood in a different way with creating and firing a bullet of blood, scythes of blood, and even bombs.

 * Breath Styles from Demon Slayer Yaiba are styles of swordsmanship taught and practiced in the Demon Slaying Corp. Demon Slaying Corp. uses them to fight Demons while using Nichirin Blades in order to slay demons. They are all derived from the Breath of the Sun, which is the first one created. There are six derivative Breaths which are Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Stone, and Moon, in which each Breath gains further derivatives as well. The swordsmanship styles are named after elements to reflect on the way a user would fight using it. Examples are how the Breath of Water shows fluidity, the Breath of Fire use powerful strikes, and the Breath of Thunder utilizes quick movement. The styles can make use of specific and concentrated breath patterns that increase lung capacity and the amount of oxygen in the blood. The increased oxygen allows for increased physical ability and mental concentration to match a Demon's power. Each style has a different application with a Nichirin Blade. Examples would be how a user's sense of touch enhanced, increased leg strength, and boosting flexibility along with speed. There are drawbacks to using these styles of swordsmanship as the techniques take a toll due to the limits of the human body.
 * Demon Slayer Marks are markings that can unlock and appears somewhere on a strong Demon Slayer's body. They look like a scar, birthmark, or a tattoo and each is unique to a Demon Slayer's Breath Style. The precondition to unlocking one involves an individual related to the Breath of the Sun being born with one. It then spreads to other Demon Slayers through some form of resonance. Demon Slayer Marks can give different abilities such as enhanced physical capabilities and breathing techniques compared to an average Breath Style user. It can also allow the user to see the blood flow, muscles, and joint movement of living beings which can be used tor predict their movement or analyze their health. The final ability is to change the color of their Nichirin Blade to a crimson red which gives the weapon the ability to restrict the regenerative powers of a Demon.
 * Blood Demon Arts are spells that demons can use and are unique to each demon. A demon would usually gain such power by consuming humans while also gaining strength. The spells can be developed, which gain more potency and different techniques when using them. The Blood Demon Arts can come in the form of making illusion, making portals to a pocket dimension, and turning blood into flames.
 * Powers (or Magic Powers) from The Seven Deadly Sins are mysterious abilities based on an individual 's will, beliefs, and experience. These magical powers can weaken if the user loses control of their emotions, which can be solved by training. They can also be measured by Power, Strength, and Spirit in the form of numbers and summed in a Power Level.
 * Spells are another magical power that can be used inherently or by the use of Incantation Orbs.

They come into five types of Elemental, Negation, Utility, Enchantments, and Curses.

 * Territories from Yu Yu Hakusho are powers that certain humans have due to being in the vicinity of the Demon's Door. The powers can be used within a certain range. It depends on a person where they can extend to 100 meters or just their bodies.
 * Darker Than Black Contractors have one from a wild variety of quirky abilities, with bare minimum of Required Secondary Powers, plus even more varying (and more often obviously personalized) remunerations. So e.g. we have seen two teleporters in the first season — but their powers worked very differently.
 * There are powers that appear to be exact duplicates, but this seems to happen very rarely: Book Ends of the first season got similar gravity negators (there were other gravity manipulators with different specifics), Dash and Goran had super speed, Hei and had the same (as far as anyone can tell) power. Curiously, in all cases the Contractors who had those first were not alive by the time we see the second instance (Hei's case is weird: while he is of course alive, his power was "inherited" from Bai — who may or may not count as truly "dead", but she's not among the living either). Of course, few Contractors lived on-screen very long either way.
 * The Euphoria Virus from Speed Grapher is a disease that can usually kill a person when contracted. One can survive if they have a Euphoric Factor and gain a superpower based on their obsession, desires, and fetishes.
 * Space Pheromones or SPH from ēlDLIVE are pheromones secreted by aliens and are not found by any organism on Earth. They can be used to send signals to other organisms and even for an offense. Each alien has its own unique scent that cannot be changed which allows for tracking through SPH. Space Pheromones can be used in different ways such as a combat form or enhance their body with equipment. Humans cannot use SPH unless they have an organ transplanted into them or by having Monitalien makes you its a host like the main protagonist.
 * Minimum from Hamatora are unique abilities that a small percentage of the population has called Minimum Holders. These abilities manifest in different ways like transforming into a beast, manipulate electricity, analyzing muscle structure, increased durability, regenerating from damage to the point of resurrection, and turning oneself into sound waves. Each Minimum has a trigger to activate it such as removing glasses or putting on headphones. The powers are embodiments of a person's motivation that can be projected on to others.
 * Exceeds from Black God are abilities that Tera Guardians if they have a contract between a human and Tera Guardian. Each Exceed is unique to a Tera Guardian and used the human's Tera which requires a large amount of it. The abilities come in the form of increasing offensive power, split into clones of equal power and mass, or even transform into a horse.
 * Ignition Ability from Fire Force are abilities that allow Third Generations to make fire from their body parts. Different from Second Generations to control existing fire, they can produce it from their extremities such as their feet, head, hands, and even their eyes. This ability can be combined with certain objects such as a sword hilt, cards, matois, and even bubblegum. These abilities can be used to increase strength and speed while others have found other applications such as defense as well.
 * Skills from Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? are abilities, magic, and actions to those who receive falna. They appear regardless of a person's level and are rare while there are even ones where Skill would have effects that no one has heard before. Skills can be gained by during a level up or by methods involving activities like training and smithing.
 * Development Abilities are special abilities that appear after leveling up to level 2. They are different from Skills as they specialize in a specific area such as expertise or personal attributes. From Level 2, a person would have a chance with every level up but may not get even one. Examples would be improving magic, increasing luck, and giving special abilities to an item created by the user. Like Stats, Development Abilities have a rank from I to S and are hard to rank up while also not resetting to I when a person level up.
 * Gates from Gate Keepers are doors from another dimension that gives an ability to a GateKeeper. A gate has different powers and can give a user elemental powers, physical augmentation, healing, or even manipulation of time and space. The gates, however, have a cost on the user such as absorbing their happiness which leads to misfortune in their lives. There also other costs such as halting their age or even absorbing their body parts.
 * Authorities from Campione! are divine powers or attributes of monsters, demons, heroes, and gods related to their myths. They can also be gained by a human if they managed to kill them and become a god slayer known as a Campione. They surpass magic used by mortals but requires an incantation to use their full power. The power, when usurped from a god, will change itself to match the Campione's personality. Authorities can be shared between individuals but have different ways of using them. Multiple Authorities can be held by a god while Campiones can do the same but with a limit. If a Campione kills a god with multiple Authorities, then it will combine into one Authority with conditions and limits. A Campione can, however, have multiple Authorities if they slay different gods thus giving them different powers.
 * Osore (translated to Fear) from Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan are unique skills and traits that each yokai related to fear. They related to the fear of the unknown when a yokai displays themselves as something monstrous. This act is due to how yokai existed as beings that induce fear in humans.
