*Pyrokinesis: Teppei is capable of producing flames from his body and is able to use it for various purposes, such as producing a ball of fire in his hand to illuminate dark places, or to infuse his fists with heat energy.However, if he uses his flames too much, he risks overheating his body and needs to cool down. His Iron Skin has been shown to melt and fall off under this heat.
*Iron Skin: Teppei's partially and fully transformed states have iron skin, which grants him both increased offense and defense. In his full Goblin form, he was able to take a direct hit from Kirio's wind attack with absolutely no damage sustained, and only took slight damage from Numazawa's acid, which would have dissolved any other substance almost instantly. He is also shown to be bullet proof and managed to withstand a direct hit from a grenade launcher with no visible damage.
