Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Multi-Skill (多才能力 (マルチスキル) Tasai Nōryoku (Maruchi Sukiru), lit. "Versatility Ability"): Having been the one to teach Kiyama Harumi about brainwave tuning, Gensei created his own Level Upper Network by kidnapping espers in order to obtain a collection of powers for his plans. He has admitted that his network is smaller than the one Harumi made.
**Mental Out (心理掌握 Shinri Shōaku (Mentaru Auto), lit. "Psychological Control"): Through having tuned Exterior to his own brainwaves, Gensei can use Shokuhou Misaki's ability without registering as a user of Exterior. Like her, Gensei carries several controllers to aim and use the versatile mental power and can block other mind-control espers. However, he lacks the limiter release code and thus can't access the boosted version of her ability.
**Clairvoyance (透視能力 (クレアボイアンス) Tōshi Nōryoku (Kureaboiansu), lit. "See-through Ability"): Clairvoyance is an esper ability that allows its user to see through any physical obstacle. However, using it makes it harder to grasp things like distance and direction.
**Aero Shooter (風力使い (エアロシューター) Fūryoku Tsukai (Earo Shūtā), lit. "Wind Power User"): An esper ability that controls air, it allows Gensei to alter the trajectory of flames, suffocate people, compress air to create footholds and send bursts of air as an attack.
**Ice Beam: Gensei can fire a small beam that produces ice on the point of impact.
** Unknown ability used to create circular holes in reinforced shutters and walls.
** Unknown ability to resist electrical shocks.
*Cyborg Prosthetics: Due to his aforementioned bad habit, Gensei has been in a number of accidents that have almost killed him. According to him, his body is practically a trade fair for prosthetic technlogy, as shown when he detached the hand that had been caught in one of Misaki's traps.
