|-|Samurai Armor=
*The Samurai Armor is the armor worn by samurai that is formed from the "flesh" of their Key Holders. The Samurai Armor is used to increase their durability and protect them from things that would normally harm them. Their durability while covered in Samurai Armor varies between Samurai and Armor, but the most notable feature is the fact that it makes them invulnerable to conventional weapons such as ordinary katanas, requiring a Samurai Blade formed from a Samurai Soul to damage them.

*The Giant Samurai Armor is a more advanced form of the conventional Samurai Armor where the user covers himself with all the "flesh" of their giant Key Holder, turning the armor into a massive robot warrior. In this form, Samurai are able to use both their own abilities and the Key Holder's abilities in one body, essentially becoming a "fusion" between a Samurai and a Key Holder.

Intelligence: High, taught Ata the Kongou Yasha style.
Weaknesses: In cat form he can only operate in battle for a few minutes before requiring sleep. Regenerating his entire body can take potentially hours, but regeneration speed varies among Samurai and less damaging injuries can be healed much quicker. His princess was murdered, because of that he can't use even half the power of his peak. His original holder Makami was stolen by Ususama School.

This ability allows them to view the invisible souls of others and judge their purity, as well as sense the spiritual energy around themselves to detect people from far distances.

Samurai with a high proficiency in their Mind's Eye, such as Yasha, Daruma, and Ichigo, can even foresee future events, such as the destruction of objects or the death of others, whether in the near or distant future. The Mind's Eye is an ability that any Samurai can learn, but no one has been shown to have fully realized its true potential. Even a highly proficient Samurai like Yasha is still developing her Mind's Eye.
