</tabber>
Attack Potency: Varies (His power depends on how much of demonic power that left in his body at that time Normally, a demon ceases to exist the instant it enters the human world, as the particularly thick miasma of the demon world is nonexistent there, but Neuro uses a tremendous amount of demonic power to forcefully maintain a body, making him weaker and weaker each and every moment. A demon's power above ground is likewise considerably weakened; it is just 1/10,000th of what it is below. His tools and weapons are also considerably less effective. After using Evil Aqua and being disappointed by its power, Neuro makes this clear. Even so, the majority of his feats were utterly and thoroughly casual. As a result, his statistics should not be considered accurate representations of his actual power; he is certainly, much stronger than what he has demonstrated.), At least Town level (One-shot thousands of Electronic Drug Criminals), to City level+, likely Mountain level (Should be comparable to his own durability), higher by consuming Evil Diversey. | At least Large Island level+, likely Small Country level (Should be 10,000x stronger than himself.

Stamina:
<tabber>
|-|Within Human World=
Superhuman (His stamina is solely dependent on demonic power,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 13; Chapter 107 and he uses a tremendous amount of demonic power to forcefully maintain his body at all times. Even with this handicap, he could fight for days without receiving any demonic power against enemies like HAL and Sicks, who were specifically inspecting and targeting his weak points. Even ignoring his usage of demonic tools in those time frames, he single-handedly fought hundreds, if not thousands,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 80 of electronic drug criminals at the same time, who were all getting stronger and strongerMajin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 81 each and every moment, and similarly fought members of New Bloodline back-to-back with little to no rest, with minor demonic power recovery. He was savagely beaten by Sicks,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 22; Chapter 191 summoned Evil Metal,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 23; Chapter 198 and then pushed demonic power into Sicks,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 23; Chapter 199 despite the pain of his body breaking down, with no visible reaction)
|-|Within Demon World=
Physically Infinite (The source of his physical power, miasma,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 13; Chapter 107 exists just like how oxygen exists within the human world. As such, Neuro didn't even need to sleep in the demon world.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 4; Chapter 34 However, he can still run out of demonic power)
</tabber>
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, higher with his abilities and tools
Standard Equipment: More than a few Evil Diverseys. Can summon 777 Tools of the Demon World and 7 Weapons of the Demon Emperor.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. (Stated that he solved all of the mysteries in the demon world and left so he could feed on more "puzzles.". After coming to the human world, he mastered knowledge equal to Yako's academic studies which is also described as a hospital patient factory due to the breadth of range and difficulty level being so bad that it destroys a student's mind and body, in the first twelve hours.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 7; Chapter 60 Blitzed HAL's labyrinth, which was made by straining HAL's intelligence, at his full potential with all his might.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 88 He has shown to have the great tactical ability, foresight, and even small detailed knowledge that can be used to create successful plans.)
Weaknesses:
* Miasma is what holds demons' bodies together. And as the particularly thick miasma of the demon world is nonexistent within the human world, demons normally cease to exist the moment they step foot into the human world. This forces Neuro to forcibly maintain a body using a tremendous amount of demonic power,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 13; Chapter 107 which results in him constantly losing power each and every moment. If he is critically low on demonic power, his body will begin to break apart.
* While Neuro is a master manipulator, he doesn't truly understand human emotions, often speaking very bluntly and crudely to others (usually the grieving families of murder victims). While this protects him from abilities that aim at human nature, it also leaves him unable to sympathize with, and, as a result, understand humans.
* Evil Metal has a sizeable charge time, which can leave Neuro open to attack and use up an excessive amount of demonic power.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|777 Tools of the Demon World=
* Evil Friday: Neuro reveals his demon-form face and spits out a large sphere made of demon world insects. The insects detach and scatter around the area in order to search their environment with utmost care. Neuro links his vision with that of these insects, and he utilizes them like cameras, extra eyes for himself.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 1; Chapter 1
* Evil Script: A tool that lets him turn his body or body parts of his choice into data,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 8; Chapter 66 directly interact with data, bypass firewalls,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 1; Chapter 2 and send his consciousnessMajin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 88 into virtual spaces.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 8; Chapter 70 While doing so leaves him vulnerable in the real world,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 9; Chapter 71 he cannot be killed within 2D space,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 83 as his true formMajin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 9; Chapter 71 is still in the real world.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 9; Chapter 72
* Evil Javelin: Neuro turns his arm into a halberd-like weapon and uses it to "cut". Matter is not sliced by this blade. Instead, every time the Evil Javelin goes through something, its edge acts as a sensor and examines the raw materials of whatever it passes through.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 1; Chapter 5
* Evil Blind: A tool that lowers the resolution of the existence of Neuro and anything else of his choice within a 10 meter radius.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 2; Chapter 8 In their place, Evil Blind leaves an extremely shallow after-image, similar to a duplicate, and completely eliminates specifics of their existence, rendering them virtually undetectable, as evidenced by the fact that even military radars could not detect Evil Blind. As indicated by Neuro, this tool was originally used by demons for assassination.
* Note: Although Evil Blind can only lower the resolution of things if they're within 10 meters, it was later confirmed that by pouring more demonic power into it, that range could be adjusted, as shown by how Neuro was about to lower the resolution of an entire helicopter, and couldn't do it only because of his lack of demonic power at the time.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 87
* Evil Stalker: An insect of demon world that Neuro uses to keep track of people; functions as a tracking device.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 2; Chapter 10
* Evil Stringer: A figure with a drill on the bottom that punches a hole into the head of a victim. It is then transformed into a "Bat" with a thin bass without strings, so instead, it uses the nerves that are drilled out from the victims head to play. Once tightly strung, with its wings the bat then plays screechy music directly into the victim's head. This process of torture, however, cannot be seen by bystanders.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 2; Chapter 13
* Evil Low Beams: Neuro reveals small lenses on his fingertips which shoot high-temperature light. When looked into, Neuro can burn an image into the victim's retinas so that whenever they open their eyes they will see it.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 3; Chapter 17
* Evil Canceller: Neuro ejects a liquid that emits a color that cancels out the difference between the color and the background, an "invisibility fluid," so to speak. As there is no limit to its effective range, it is well-suited for tailoring. It cannot, however, conceal sounds.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 3; Chapter 19
* Evil Cocoon: A tool that grants others an aura with a single dab. Said aura appears to warp the user's atmosphere. Causing illusions as a result.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 3; Chapter 22
* Evil Drop: An eye drop that grants the user the ability to shoot "Destructive rays" from their eyes.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 4; Chapter 29
* Evil Badger: Neuro summons an insect with an unbalanced diet directly into the target's body, replaces their tongue, and manipulates the brain inside their stomach, creating an unending desire for a one-and-only type of food. The victim is guaranteed to cease breathing if they stop eating that specific food.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 5; Chapter 35
* Evil Sticker: A small sticker that is placed on a fingertip; the closer the user is to their objective the stronger the finger will stick up.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 5; Chapter 37
* Evil Full Face: Neuro sends out a demon head from his hair that acts as a smokescreen bomb to allow for quick escapes.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 5; Chapter 39
* Evil Diversey: A Demon World battery, which Neuro fills with demonic power. He braids his hair with these batteries and can release a large amount of demonic power when consumed.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 6; Chapter 44 Neuro generally uses these when he needs a boost in his demonic power.
* Evil Station: Although it is a part of tools, it is more of a game system from the underworld that projects "solid images." You can feel them, but they are not there, making the game 3D for the player. If turned off too quickly, some residual images may remain, said images can cause harmMajin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 6; Chapter 49 Neuro demonstrates a dating-sim game using this tool, though it produces holograms of tortured monsters (the Demon World's version of dating-sims).
* Evil Butterfly: A surveillance bug from the demon world; its ability is similar to that of a microphone and receiver. A strange little butterfly shaped like human ears functions as a hidden microphone. This is paired with a set of earphones shaped like a human face, where the speakers are in the mouth. The former receives sound waves, and the latter perfectly mimics the exact same sound. While this tool seems normal at first, the user risks having their head pierced by the speaker, which extends out like a drill when the face sneezes.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 7; Chapter 53 
* Evil Ampule: A needle full of potion that doubles the revolution speed of the neural transmitters in the user's brain, making them more intelligent.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 7; Chapter 61
* Evil Fumble: An enhanced version of Evil Ampule normally used by demons that increases mental capacity by ten times, though it is too strong for humans and causes fever over 40 degrees along with food poisoning, making the victim hospitalized.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 8; Chapter 62
* Evil Reflector: When activated a woman's head within a mirror shell reveals itself from ground, then hexagonal mirror discs begin floating all around Neuro. Anything that flies towards the discs will be reflected in the opposite direction with the same force and same speed.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 9; Chapter 73
* Evil Surrounder: A capsule ball which breaks into little seeds. When the seeds attach to a surface, a plant from hell that feeds on metal will grow instantly to protect its territory.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 9; Chapter 79
* Evil Rapid: A train-like tool that reaches Mach speeds in seconds.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 9; Chapter 79
* Evil Blizzard: A device that is capable of flying across the sky and scattering snow. The snow looks like real snow, except that it is acidic and capable of easily melting the human body.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 88
* Evil Centipede: A tool that looks like a gigantic centipede made out of shoes rises from his shadow. It is used to demonstrate how many times a person has entered a specific area by replacing their footsteps. The more they step into the area, the darker the footsteps become.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 11; Chapter 94
* Evil Lavender: Neuro's hand becomes something that resembles a purple drill, and is used to stab through objects. Once it has punctured the target, it will bloom into lavender flowers; upon closer inspection, the "flowers" are really small, demonic hands curved into the flower shape.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 14; Chapter 118
* Evil Pressure: Out of Neuro's nape comes a machine that sends a demonic electrical current that tears apart muscle and tendons.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 14; Chapter 119
* Evil Taster: A demonic tongue-cover that switches the wearer's taste around, making sour foods taste sweet, bitter foods taste spicy, and vice-versa.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 15; Chapter 132
* Evil Carpenter: A giant demonic construction worker with several man-sized workers sprouting from its spine. Neuro used this tool along with Evil Mud to reconstruct the collapsed places in certain parts of the city.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 16; Chapter 137
* Evil Torture: A weapon that senses the user's intent and acts accordingly. It consists of multiple pairs of wings. The first pair serves to prevent the opponent from attacking, and the second pair penetrates and tears the opponent's flesh from within.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 16; Chapter 138
* Evil Gauntlet: A pair of hands surface from the earth that will grab a person's legs rendering him incapable to move.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 17; Chapter 147
* Evil Surfacer: Neuro does not mention its ability, but it is shown that the tool coats the intended target with a shiny surface and prevents the target from being destroyed.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 17; Chapter 151
* Evil Stole: Neuro takes off his blue suit coat and puts on a black jacket.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 18; Chapter 152 The longer he stays without moving, the more energy he regains by scraping together and absorbing bits of demonic power in the air.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 18; Chapter 153
* Evil Shooter: A spring-like chain resembling a spinal cord covered with skulls. Neuro does not mention its ability, instead uses the tool like a slingshot to send Yako away.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 22; Chapter 191
* Evil Time Machine: As its name would imply, it is a time machine.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 22; Chapter 196
|-|7 Weapons of the Demon Emperor=
* Evil Aqua: Neuro summons 7 fish-like cannons, 6 which are smaller support cannons, and blasts a huge laser onto the target.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 10; Chapter 81 Neuro notes that the power of Evil Aqua is considerably weaker in the human world than the demon world. Neuro transforms into his demon form when using this move, sporting his demon face and wing-like arms.
* Evil Tree: Neuro summons a massive tree that travels underground, causing earthquakes along the way, and emerges at a predetermined location.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 11; Chapter 96 It is seen with a large green bud in the center with about 12-13 long monstrous heads emerging from the base of the plant. The tree can be used to attack and support. It is also shown to be able to form wooden dummies of people or things.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 17; Chapter 149
* Evil Mud: Neuro summons a giant cyclops-like creature. Evil Mud has a star-shaped symbol at the bottom portion of its body. Although what it does is not elaborated upon, Neuro describes it as a tenacious golem with enough power to destroy a city. During Valentine's day,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 17; Chapter 143 Yako's chocolate was secretly mixed with some of the Demon World mud which can give a nourishment boost and comically enhances a body with physical strength for a while.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 16; Chapter 142
* Evil Flyer: Neuro summons a pair of grotesque wings. Using these, he was able to catch up to a full-speed fighter jet, and while the jet had a significant lead,Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 22; Chapter 196 its speed is most likely determined by how much demonic power Neuro is pouring on it.
* Evil Metal: It is a blade that skips the process of cutting, and produces the result, the cut itself, making it virtually unblockable and unavoidable, as there is nothing to block or avoid.Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro; Volume 23; Chapter 198 It is Neuro's self-claimed strongest attack; he claims it can even kill the Demon Emperor. Its drawback is the enormous amount of demonic power it requires.
