Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- King Engine: Villains feel a chill that runs from their spine to their feet as they feel the strong rumbling of the King's Energy. As they gaze into the hero's cold eyes, they feel the bloodlust and power building up, hidden beneath his stoicism. Instantly, they surrender in fear. In reality, though, the King’s Energy is just the hero's strong, rapidly increasing heart-beats, an indication of the panic that King hides beneath his expression.
- King Style: While his intimidating appearance and presence usually scares off potential opponents, King has to rely on this style, if his opponents aren't scared and still ready to fight. It is not a fighting style in the traditional sense. King mostly bluffs himself out of battles or runs away.
- Ultimate Hellfire Wavemotion Cannon (煉獄無双爆熱波動砲, Rengoku Musō Bakunetsu Hadō-hō): A bluff technique of King, which he doesn't know. He is simply shouting its name loudly to intimidate his opponents. It appears to be an incredibly powerful energy blast in King's imagination. The "technique" seems to be well known within the Hero Association, as Child Emperor demanded King to use it to defeat the dragon level Monster Association member.
- Ultimate Fleeing Technique: Backwards Dash: King simply runs away from his opponent. Kuroi Seishi mistakenly took it as a kind of trap, thinking King is chanting a curse and luring him.
