Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Natural Abilities
Expert Combatant: Having been trained by his mother to be her successor as an exorcist and fight on par with her, Kazuya possesses extreme talent in combat. While he lost this skill after getting his memories sealed, Kazuya would retrain after reuniting with Kiriha, learning new skills along the way while also recalling previous abilities used by both him and his mother. After regaining his memories, Kazuya appears to be at the level if not greater of that before his memories were sealed. As an exorcist Kazuya primarily fights together with a tsugumomo, being the most experienced in using obi tsugumomo. Even without a tsugumomo partner, Kazuya also possesses a great skill unarmed combat, capable of easily dispatching multiple armed exorcists by himself.
Curse Manipulation: Being born as a Taboo Child, curse naturally gravitated towards Kazuya. As a child, Kazuya quickly learned how to manipulate the curse, allowing him to freely create Amasogi at will. Given enough time and effort, Kazuya was also capable of creating a tsugumomo within a much shorter time frame of one occurring naturally. After having his memories were sealed, Kazuya still attracted curse towards him and without anything to keep it in check amasogi are more likely to appear around him. Kazuya has yet to reattempt to use this ability after regaining his memories, as he's hesitant to do so since he believes it is the cause of the incident with his mother.
- Heavy Touch: With his ability to manipulate curse, came the Heavy Touch, suggested by Ouna. This ability allows Kazuya to "fill" someone, human or tsugumomo, with spiritual energy. Kazuya is hesitant to use this because it needs some level of sexual intercourse, but he has demonstrated he will use it if the need arrives and has used the Heavy Touch a few times. Kazuya has used the Heavy Touch to "hide" the Ascension's weakness, with Sunao, and to power his tsugumomo, with Kyouka.
