Attack Potency: At least Small Building level (As a Hunter, Basho should have went through many physical challenges in the Hunter Exam vastly beyond that of any normal human capability.

Weaknesses: If the haiku he composes is bad then the effects of his ability are significantly weakened. Zetsu involves keeping one's aura exclusively in the body, it makes a Nen user more vulnerable to physical and Nen attacks, because one doesn't have any aura on the outside of one's body to protect oneself.

Nen: Basho is a proficient Nen user being able to at least use the four basic techniques.
*Great Haiku (流離さすらいの大俳人グレイトハイカー The Wandering Haiku Poet): Basho has an ability wherein he writes a haiku on a strip of paper. According to him, whatever is written on it becomes real. However, if the poem is bad, the effect will be significantly weakened. Both times he displayed his power, Basho's compositions allowed him to summon flames, using a punch as the trigger on the first occasion and the act of lying on the second.
