Attack Potency: At most City Block level (Can physically clash withKagurabachi Chapter 8 Sojo, although he admitted to being inferiorKagurabachi Chapter 9Scales to at most 20.5 tons of TNT.), City Block level with Kuro (Could easily slice through Sojo’s YuiScales to 20.5 tons of TNT.), up to City Block level+ with Nishiki (Nishki creates a cloak that imbues every action with high density spirit energy up to three times beyond what Chihiro's body would usually allowKagurabachi Chapter 10Kagurabachi Chapter 17Scales up to 61.5 tons of TNT.)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic (Sojo regarded him as being fast after they clashed.Kagurabachi Chapter 8Scales to Mach 652.35 as Sojo is comparable to the Kamunabi Agents who could react to Mei's lightning. Outpaced an explosion that detonated beneath him by jumpingKagurabachi Chapter 4), up to Massively Hypersonic+ with Nishki (Can cloak his body in high density spirit energy up to three times what his body normally allows which also increases his speed,Scales up to Mach 1957.05. allowing him to outpace Mei Cloaked SojoKagurabachi Chapter 17)
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Jumped the height of a 6 to 7 story buildingKagurabachi Chapter 9Scales to 2715.8 kilograms.) 
Striking Strength: At most City Block level, City Block level with Kuro, up to City Block level+ with Nishiki 
Durability: At most City Block level (Comparable to his Attack Power. Survived, but was heavily damaged by, absorbing the full brunt of Mei's lightning bolt which was powerful enough to vaporize a portion of the street on its way to him. Shrugged off an explosion that destroyed an entire storefrontKagurabachi Chapter 3)
Stamina: Superhuman (Capable of enduring a high-powered Mei from Sojo by acting as a lightning rod to absorb the electricity from the attack, only sustaining considerable burns, damage to his vitals and the muscles in the left arm being shredded despite the attack tearing holes in the road, and still having enough strength to keep fighting Sojo afterward.Kagurabachi Chapter 9Kagurabachi Chapter 10Kagurabachi Chapter 14 Ikuto Hagiwara, the leader of Kamunabi’s Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces, shows surprise that Chihiro was able to continue fighting Sojo armed with an Enchanted Blade in those conditions as those injuries should put him out of action for a month.Kagurabachi Chapter 11 After 49 hours waking up from his first fight with Sojo, still badly injured and in a lot of pain, Chihiro is capable of infiltrating a research laboratory guarded by several sorcerersKagurabachi Chapter 13 and later fight against Sojo in one last showdown.Kagurabachi Chapter 16 Even the guards at the research laboratory are surprise at Chihiro’s ability to move after taking Sojo’s lightning blast at full force.Kagurabachi Chapter 14 He barely recoil from the pain of having his arm severed in the last battle with Sojo, and endure the agony of using Nishiki three times as much spirit energy as his body would allow.Kagurabachi Chapter 17 This should be more painful than Sojo's two-amp Cloaked Mei, which was said to hurt more than any lethal wound.Kagurabachi Chapter 18)
Range: Extended Melee Range with Enten, up to Tens of Meters with Kuro (Can extend this far), Interdimensional with Clairvoyance (Can remotely activate Enten when it was stored in Sazanami’s storehouse, a subspace that extends infinitely above and belowKagurabachi Chapter 28)
Standard Equipment:
*Enten: Enten is activated by speaking its name and drawing the katana, which forms several water droplets on the edge of the blade.Kagurabachi Chapter 1 As with all Enchanted Blades, Enten amplifies the spirit energy inside a person to such an extent that it can no longer be contained inside the wielder's body, and instead concentrates into a giant mass of spirit energy which manifests in the form of giant goldfish which swim out of the blade of the katana.Kagurabachi Chapter 4 Every single slash performed using Enten is made of pure spirit energy which enhances its cutting capabilities.Kagurabachi Chapter 4 A limiting mechanism known as Lifelong Contract is built into all of Rokuhira’s blades, which means that once someone takes possession of an Enchanted Blade, only they are able to use it and no one else unless that person is dead.Kagurabachi Chapter 18
*Wakizashi: Chihiro carries a wakizashi of standard size and shape.Kagurabachi Chapter 6 It has a rectangular-shaped tsuba with 4 angular indentations. It does not seem to possess any special powers.
Intelligence: Above Average (Shiba notes that Chihiro is a prodigy, as he doesn’t let his hatred get the better of him and thinks through what he can do now and what he should do to choose the best option based on his principles.Kagurabachi Chapter 12 Chihiro has been trained in the art of swordsmithing by his renowned father, Kunishige. He is diligent and committed to learning this craft, which involves using a unique method to forge special katanas.Kagurabachi Chapter 1 As evidenced by the fact that Chihiro was well-prepared for Sojo to react to his Nishiki during their final fight because he had seen Sojo do so in their first encounter, and thus cancelled his Nishiki prior to his final attack in order to throw off Sojo's predictions, once Chihiro seen a particular tactic in action, it is less likely to work on him the second time.Kagurabachi Chapter 10Kagurabachi Chapter 17 He also has a knack for strategy, as seen in the way he uses his knowledge of the Enchanted Blades and even Sojo himself to help develop a plan for how the Kamunabi’s Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces should engage him. He predicted exactly how Sojo retaliates if the special force presses him and, after witnessing his combat skills, how he would improve since their first fight and took that into account.Kagurabachi Chapter 13 He is the type to risk bodily harm in order to survive a bit longer, as shown when he willingly sacrificed his arm to Sojo to change the trajectory of his attack so that he didn’t die right there and then.Kagurabachi Chapter 17 Chihiro is shown to be a left-handed swordsman,Kagurabachi Chapter 1 but even after he had temporarily lost the use of his left arm, he is competent enough to wield a katana with just his right hand.Kagurabachi Chapter 14 Additionally, he is capable of driving.Kagurabachi Chapter 5
Despite having no prior combat experience, Chihiro was able to train to be an accomplished swordsman within three years, something that impressed Shiba upon witnessing the aftermath of his battlesKagurabachi Chapter 2. Chihiro is shown to be quite ruthless in battle, brutalizing his opponents by slicing off their limbs, bisecting them, or simply just decapitating them to end the fight as quickly as possible, which was best displayed in the fight against Korogumi YakuzaKagurabachi Chapter 1 and the Puppet sorcerer and his dozens of puppets.Kagurabachi Chapter 6 Chihiro was able to use his wakizashi to quickly slice off a sorcerer's arm when he attempted to steal his Enchanted Blade.Kagurabachi Chapter 6 Chihiro can also use his Wakizashi as a projectile, throwing it at his targets to create a momentary diversion for him to get behind themKagurabachi Chapter 9. After deducing that the opening he saw on Hiyuki was a trap, Chihiro decided to spring the trap and outwit Hiyuki, who was planning to use Sword Grab to catch Chihiro’s Enten, by switching out Enten with his wakizashi, despite only having one hand at the time, taking advantage of Hiyuki’s brief moment of shock that her plan failed to then take to Hiyuki's blind spot.Kagurabachi Chapter 21
Weaknesses: The twelve-second time limit for Nishiki is mentioned, however this was during Chihiro's fatigued and hurt state.Kagurabachi Chapter 16 If Chihiro concentrates his spirit power usage on Nishiki, the duration he can utilize the technique decreases, therefore cloaking himself with double or even three times the energy would be reduced by that much.Kagurabachi Chapter 17
Notable Attacks/Techniques:Credits goes to the Unofficial Wiki 
*Kuro: Chihiro summoned the black goldfish, covering his arm and katana in a black liquid. This technique released a flying slash, greatly extending the striking range of his katana. The slashes were also significantly more powerful, instantly separating the torsos of guards and making deep cuts in the groundKagurabachi Chapter 1Kagurabachi Chapter 4 Its versatility combined with Chihiro's swordsmanship skill made it his most used technique and his typical opening move. 
**Scatter: An extension technique of Kuro that Chihiro created after grasping the "true realm" of Enten. This technique used the same amount of spirit energy as a regular Kuro but traded its power for the ability to release more rapid and compact slashes, which also lessened the load on Chihiro's body. Scatter could release up to 20 weaker slashes at the same time.Kagurabachi Chapter 15
*Aka: Chihiro summoned the red goldfish which swam around Chihiro to block him from any incoming attacks. Whatever attack the red goldfish blocked was absorbed by it. By saying "Aka" followed by the name of the opponent's attack, Enten was covered in a red liquid which then fired the same attack in the direction that the blade was pointing.Kagurabachi Chapter 4
*Nishiki: Chihiro summoned the three-colored goldfish which became a 'cloak' which he wore, causing colored streaks to follow the motion of his blade and body. This technique imbued every one of Chihiro's punches, kicks, and slashes with high-density spirit energy, resulting in significantly more powerful attacks. Nishiki also granted Chihiro greatly amplified movement speed and agility, allowing him to mow down a legion of clones almost instantly.Kagurabachi Chapter 6 After grasping the "true realm" of Enten, Chihiro can apply Nishiki in a manner that supports his body rather than grant a straight power boost, allowing him to fight with all its benefits even with a heavily injured body.Kagurabachi Chapter 16
