Intelligence: Gifted in Combat (Ryu demonstrates keen observational skills and strategic thinking in battles. He carefully assesses opponents, identifies their strengths and weaknesses, and adapts his tactics accordingly. He showed astuteness by recognizing factors influencing Dhruv's defeat, understanding Yuta's cursed energy output, and deducing Yuta's unique ability to copy cursed techniques. Ryu's intelligence is highlighted in his ability to analyze complex situations, make calculated moves, and adjust his approach based on evolving circumstances in jujutsu sorcery clashes.) 
Weaknesses: None Notable 
Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*: Binding Vows are contracts created through cursed energy that an individual can make with one's self or another person. The act of abiding by the rules and restrictions agreed upon in these contracts can result in a greater power or the achievement of a goal, but breaking a binding vow has uncanny repercussions.
*Highest Cursed Energy Output: Ryu holds the record for the highest cursed energy output in Jujutsu history, recognized by Kenjaku. Yuta's cursed energy output falls short, and Ryu, unimpressed by Yuta's Output. Ryu reinforces his body with cursed energy to enhance physical strength. His attacks release potent bursts of cursed energy, surpassing the toughness of individuals with more overall cursed energy, like Yuta and Rika. He is hailed as having the Highest Cursed Energy output of all Culling Game players.
*Veritable Cannon: Ryu's Innate Cursed Technique makes him create cannons from any part of his body and fire cursed energy blasts. 
**: Ryu's pompadour-styled hair is also in the shape of a cannon, with a distinct opening at the front. His cursed technique allows him to take advantage of his high cursed energy output by firing cursed energy beams from his hair. He can fire several at once, and each beam carries incredible destructive force. Furthermore, his energy discharge maintains its full strength even after releasing a Domain Expansion, a trait nobody else has.
**: Ryu's signature move is Granite Blast, a focused beam of highly concentrated cursed energy. At maximum strength, it has the destructive force to obliterate multiple city blocks.
**: Ryu demonstrated the ability to initiate a domain expansion, but specifics about his innate domain and its unique features, including a "can't miss" function, remain undisclosed. During a joint attempt with Yuta and Takako, the barrier disintegrated before any of their domains could fully manifest, leaving mysteries surrounding Ryu's abilities.
Note: Kenjaku's acknowledgment of Ryu's prowess, although significant, should be approached with a degree of skepticism, given the lack of direct verification on his part. Healing and Transformation abilities are not applicable in combat for anyone except Sukuna and Angel, as Ryu & others have already utilized these powers once. This capability can only be employed once on the vessel.
