*Returner: As a Perfect Returner, Kouu is always in his transformed state. Like other Returners, Kouu's throat releases several petals while his power is active. As a Sinner-type Returner, Kouu's returned talent comes from a criminal. In his case, his returned talent "Omnireceptacle" comes from Xiang Yu, a famous Chinese warlord of the late Qin dynasty.
**Omnireceptacle: Kouu's talent's true nature is dominance, it allows him to control all creation with his battle aura to use them as weapons. This includes lifting pieces of the ground and rubble and throwing them as projectiles and even taking over Touya's Lord Impaler's spikes and turning them back on him. Kouu's battle aura takes the form of a black aura that Kouu can extend from him into the object he wants to manipulate. Since his talent is required to be used as a weapon, he tends to use his nails to make a small cut on the cheek of others when he uses it for other purposes, like teleporting himself and his allies around or when showing someone his memories.
***Teleportation: Kouu can teleport over long distances, and he can also teleport his followers to him.
***Intangibility: Kouu can turn intangible at will, allowing attacks to pass through him harmlessly.
***Memory Insertion: By extending his aura into a person Kouu can allow them to see his memories.
***Reinforcing: Kouu can extend his aura into objects to reinforce and turn even a regular wooden branch into a combat staff.
***Earth Golem: By extending his aura into the ground Kouu can create a large earth golem.
***Black Death Harmony: The Omnireceptacle's barrier technique, Kouu needs to meditate for a short while to prepare this technique. Once his preparations are done the enemy and Kouu are surrounded by a black spherical barrier. On the inside, the enemy appears to be surrounded by infinite darkness, with Kouu appearing as a white phantom that cannot be physically harmed and can depart whenever he wishes. Everything inside this enclosed space is subject to Kouu's will on the molecular level. Kouu can break matter down by elongating it or compressing it, incandescence is created through extremely high movements and collisions of matter and extreme magnetic and gravitational forces act on it in tandem. Kouu says the technique is "like a miniature Big Bang".
