Notable Attacks and Techniques:
*Hyōi Gattai: This shamanic technique enables the shaman to integrate spirits into their body, forming a "unity" of both, their spirit and that of the ghost. The shaman would enter a special trance which enables them to synchronize their spirit with that of the ghost, allowing the ghost to possess their body and enabling the ghost to interact with the physical world. Furthermore, once integrated, the shaman takes on the knowledge & wisdom of the ghost as well as their personality.
*Oversoul Spirit of Fire: Hao's primary spirit, showcased throughout the manga until the KanZengBang edition chapters were released, where Hao replaced it with the Great Spirit. It is one of the 5 "Elemental Spirits", which are the spiritual representatives of Earth itself, and therefore considered second only to the Great Spirit itself in potential and versatility. Hao stole it from the safekeeping of the Patch Tribe in 1498 A.D, to reincarnate along with him and to have it as his signature spirit. Its spirit medium is oxygen present in the air. It can be activated at the speed of lightning.
*Maguma Appa (Magma Upper): The S.O.F extends it's arm forward and lava fires out, drenching the opponent with a temperature exceeding 1200°C.
*Kazan (Volcano): The S.O.F launches a large amount of fire into the air as a defense.
*O.S Supiritto Obu Faia: Kurobina (O.S Spirit of Fire: Black Fowl): Hao's armor-O.S of the S.O.F, "Kurobina" is the perfect synchronization of offense and defense, enabling Hao to be extremely maneuverable in the air, all the while consuming a minimal amount of energy in the process. It takes the form of a minimized S.O.F, the entire torso being reduced to a jet-pack, enabling Hao high-speed flight, while it retains a pair of arms, tipped with razor-sharp claws to tear apart opponents, as well as a pair of cannons for shoulder-blades, which allows for extremely accurate and destructive lasers to be fired. Its spirit medium (oxygen) remains the same.
*Onibi (Will-O'-The-Wisp/Jack-O'-Lantern): Hao fires an extremely destructive blast from the pair of cannons jutting upwards from "Kurobina".
*Onmyōdō (Yin-Yang Technique): A technique devised and mastered by Hao, during his original life as an "onmyōji" (a type of magician or divinator in the art of "onmyōdō"), it allows Hao to freely manipulate the Five Divine Elements, as depicted by the "Five-Pointed Star" (fire, water, earth, wood, and metal), allowing him to transmute his spirit(s) into any one of the elements at any interval. It can also be used to influence and control various types of spirits to his will, such as "oni" and "shikigami" (in with this method that he captured Zenki and Kouki).
*Kinji Jusatsu: A killing curse that can strip the soul from the body for an instant kill.
*Reishi (Reading the Heart): A demonic power accidentally inherited from Ohachiyo when he fused with Hao, it enables the shaman to read the thoughts of surrounding beings, or to be more precise, the emotions behind said thoughts.
*Ritual of Taizan Fukun: A special ability obtained by Hao during his original life. Through a contract with the god of death, Hao can reincarnate his body at any time, at will. With this technique, Hao is physically immortal, and can only be killed if his soul is encountered and destroyed.
*Resurrection: Using his furyoku, Hao can restore a person's soul and body to perfect health, even if they are deceased. The best example of this ability's use was his mass revival of the entire navy he had just previously destroyed, as a promise to Yoh Asakura.
*Curse Reflection Hao can automatically deflect magical assaults back at the caster, in some cases without him even paying attention.
*Fumon Tonkou: Hao can read the flow of energy from the opponent's movements, and duly react before the attack hits (a form of pre-cognition, basically).
*Furyoku Nullification: Hao, using his energy as an invisible barrier, cancels out the offensive energy cast by the opponent.
*Mu-Mu-Myou-Yaku-Mu (The Absence of Ignorance): The offensive version of "Furyoku Nullification", Hao can eradicate his opponent's energy reserves with an attack, "purifying" them in the process.
*O.S Great Spirit (Oversoul): Hao's final and ultimate spirit. The physical and combat-oriented manifestation of the Great Spirit, it is the most powerful spirit in the entire Shaman King-verse, bestowing incredible prowess on a cosmic scale. It is a collective of all the souls that inhabit the Universe, great or small. The O.S takes on a futuristic and alien appearance, being larger than even the titanic "Elemental Spirits", having a metallic shell enclosing what appears to be a core of wires, that illuminates a bright, bluish-white light. It is unknown as to what exactly is the Great Spirit's medium, or if it even needs one.
*Taiyou Men Bakuhatsu (Solar Flare): Shaman King Hao imitates an authentic solar-flare, generating extremely high-temperature winds and radioactivity simultaneously, to a wide-ranging and deadly effect.
*Kurenai Honoo (Prominence): Shaman King Hao replicates the giant billowing pillars of gas, tens of thousands kilometers wide, towering above the Sun, and launches them straight at the opponent(s), dealing enormous heat and radiation. He can further enhance the effects of "Solar Flare" in this manner.
*Suisei (Comet): Shaman King Hao fires a large comet of ice and rock from the O.S Great Spirit's hand, utilizing its "tail" like a whip, to lash at the opponent(s).
*Insei (Meteor): Shaman King Hao has the O.S Great Spirit open up its limbs, to reveal components to which it fires out a shower of meteors against the opponent(s).
*Choushinsei (Supernova): Shaman King Hao has the miniature star that the O.S Great Spirit generates between its shoulders to go into meltdown, creating an illuminating light that shines through the entire galaxy and an explosion that destroys everything in its wake. Even with its reduction in size, Yoh comments that if it had been real life, it "would have disintegrated the Earth".
*Burakkuhoru (Black Hole): In the aftermath of "Supernova", Shaman King Hao manipulates the leftover energy into forming a black hole, drawing in gravity to its center. Even light cannot escape its pull. The attack itself absorbs anything present within the surrounding area, trapping it inside forever with no possibility to return.
*Soul Suck: Hao can instantly suck out the souls of anyone in the physical world.
Note: While Hao has not shown all the abilities in the series, the Great Spirit has been stated numerous of times to be an archive of all souls and contains the memories, knowledge, and history of every single one of them. Hao has even demonstrated to create versions of characters that have the same exact personality and abilities of characters easily inside the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit is also the creator of the 5 Grand Elemental Spirits, which are all God class spirits. Every soul, no matter how big or small comes from and ends up back to the Great Spirit. So it stands to say that Hao would possibly be able to replicate abilities of every soul that is recorded in the Great Spirit.
