Feats/Statements: Here is a blog page with Mai's feats and quotes.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Remodeled Body: Mai has thoroughly remodeled, developed and modified her own body in order to acquire the specs necessary to defeat Youkai with her own body. As a result, she displays superhuman strength, speed and durability, though she can hurt her own body if she goes all out. She can bypass Youkai and other supernatural beings' invulnerabilities to normal physical damage and kill them with her bare hands. Not only that, Mai carries a special kit disguised as makeup tools that allow her to repair her body to the point no trace of the injuries is left, such as perfectly reattaching her arm, sewing up her upper body together after being slashed multiple times or quickly healing broken legs. Also, as it was shown in the alternate future, Mai can retain her youth through the use of replacements for her body, as she explained when Shinobu questioned why she hadn't aged in ten years.
**Youkai Purification: Mai's body has the ability to purify Youkai inside her body, or to eat Youkai flesh and safely digest it. This ability protected Mai against Kawabata Megumi's ability to send her Toubyou inside the enemy's body.
*Other Techniques: Though her main way of fighting is using her own modified body and her weapons, Mai is still a skilled specialist. She can defend herself from curses, as seen when Saijou Ai's hundreds of Kosode-no-Te curses failed to affect her because Mai deflected them from her body into each other to cancel their effects. Mai claimed that in order to kill her Saijou would have to make the routes of the curses impossible to calculate or use an overwhelming amount of them like the Illness Magic User does. Similarly, Mai appears to have some degree of resistance towards mind manipulation and similar abilities, as in the alternate future Shinobu commented that the Succubus would not be as effective with Mai as she had been with other women and she managed to slightly resist Saiki Kazu's killing intent projection.
**Deadly Dragon Princess: A Shikigami (an artificial Youkai) put together by Mai, Deadly Dragon Princess can be summoned through the wooden charm Mai carries with her. With time Mai can repair the Shikigami and the charm if they are damaged or destroyed by the enemy.
**Concealing Technique: Mai can use a technique that erases her presence from the people she chooses, leaving them unable to see her or sense her in any other way, apparently until she attacks them. This technique is so effective that even Tselika, one of the strongest demons in the world and someone who can feel a soul's wavelength and desire, was unable to notice her. There are other occasions where Mai has been able to appear out of nowhere in front of or behind people, though it's not confirmed if it's the same technique.
*Yozakura: A Yozakura Ver. 3 made by Hishigami Biochemical Industries, with some of Mai's custom modifications added in. The Yozakura uses similar tech to nursing suits woven with flexible tape meant to extend one’s back muscles. The Yozakura provides some strengthening to Mai's body to prevent her from destroying her own joints when she goes all out. The Yozakura used to have the crest of the Hishigami Family on the chest area, but Mai ripped it off.
