Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*Rakan Soyokaze Bakufūken (ラカンそよ風爆風拳 Rakan Gentle Breeze Tempest Fist): Creates twisters with winds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour to envelop a target. He has such fine control over these winds that the target may only feel a gentle breeze if Rakan wishes.
*Eternal Negi Fever: After a short series of ridiculous poses, Rakan emits an energy beam from his entire body.
*Zanmaken Ni-No-Tachi (斬魔剣・弐の太刀 Evil-Cutting Sword, Second Strike): Rakan uses his sword to bypass physical and magical barriers and cut the target directly. It also allows him to hit an intangible spirit without affecting the person being possessed by the spirit. Jack copied this technique from Eishun.
*Kiai Boukou (Willpower Defense): Raises his defense through sheer willpower and by cloaking his body in chi.
*Rakan Banretsuken (羅漢萬烈拳 Rakan Ten Thousand Fists): Unleashes ten thousand blows on a target in an instant.
*Rakan For The Hell of It Right Hand Punch: As its name would imply, he punches his target to the ground with enough force to shake an entire coliseum from the impact with his right hand.
*Rakan Hariken Shō (羅漢破裏剣掌 Rakan Spiral Palm): Digs his fist into his opponent's abdomen before twisting it to crush and damage the target's vital organs.
*Great Dimensional Smash: Jack creates a micro black hole for an instant, to shatter a magical pocket dimension. Jack copied this ability from Albireo Imma.
*Some Kind Of Giant Arm Made Of Chi Energy: Jack creates an enormous arm out of his chi energy which is strong enough to restrain Negi Springfield and throw him hundreds of kilometers away.
*Incendium Gehennae (奈落の業火(インケンディウムゲヘナエ), Hellfire Conflagration): A Fire and Darkness-element spell which creates a large explosion of black flames at the target area. It traps the victim in a tornado of black flames.
*Magia Erebea: A dark magic created by Evangeline A.K. McDowell, it allows the user to absorb magic and fuse it to their spirit to transform into a more powerful form. Jack copied this ability from a clone of Evangeline.
**Sim Fabricatus Ab Incendio (獄炎煉我, Hell's Refining Fire): After absorbing Incendium Gehennae, Jack transforms into a darker form that grants him enhanced durability, resistance to heat, and the ability to absorb magical power through physical contact.
*Pactio: Armiger Miliplex: The source of one of his many epithets, The Thousand Sword. Using it allows him to summon any weapon he can imagine, from a thousand swords, a greatsword the size of a skyscraper, to pieces of armor he can use as prosthetic limbs.
**Zankanken (斬艦剣, Warship Sword Cutter): Rakan creates an enormous blade as big as a skyscraper and can wield it as a sword, or throw it at his opponent. It has been described by himself as one of his finishing moves.
