Spectral Body

**Spectral Body** (幽霊の体 (スペクトルボディ) , *Supekutoru Bodi*?, Lit. "Ghost Armour"), also been referred as **Spectral Armour** (幽霊鎧 (スペクトルアーマー) , *Supekutoru Āmā*?, Lit. "Ghost Armor") is an emitter-type quirk of Tengoku, capable of projecting an physical manifested body that serves as an defevensive and offensive quirk. This quirk has also been commonly called **Gashadokuro** (がしゃどくろ/ 餓者髑髏, *lit. "starving skeleton"*?).

## Description

As the name suggests, Spectral Bodyis an emitter-type quuirk that allows Tengoku to manifest an body around him, following the structure after his real body. As it stands, the quirk currently only demonstrates as an defensive quirk created by an type of fiery energy that acts as armour. The quirk shows melee capabilities and enhanced strength which Tengoku controls mentally.

Specteal Body is an unique quirk belonging to Tengoku. Currently it's stated by its sole user it goes through some form of stages and every use allows him to develop it much more. Upon being first manifested, around 1/3 of an skeletal ribecage formed around him when he was five years old, and by the time he entered the U.A. Entrance Exam he was capable of manifesting the entire ribecage which he used the strength of the robots against them, with their attacks resulting in their destruction, showing its defensive power. However the ribcage has an limit and could crumble overtime due to damage or fatigue. This shown again in the exam where three ribes broke with an strike from the robot.

After continously use of Spectral Body, he'd soon developed an upper human form, manifesting the torso of a human skeleton with arms and head. Research dictates the skeleton structure of the quirk is identical to the skeleton structure of Tengoku, and thus it's assumes the manifested form is taking the appearance of its user. With the upper body of the skeleton manifested, also comes with drastic increased in strength and power, allowing it to effectively capable lof destroying boulders with relative ease. The defensive aspects is also enhanced to greater levels, capable of using for extended use under stress and withstand other devestating forces if solely using the ribecage.

However during the Vanguard Action Squad's attack of the training camp, fellow classmate Gregory van Helsing was under emotional intense due the villains, causing him to activate Apotheosis and undergo an transformation of an four-five tailed red fox-like being. Under this condition, he was classified truly insane and went on an rampage, having killed two villains of the Vanguard. Under this predicament and the fact students where in danger when he appeared to Mandalay and Deku. Going beyond his very limit, he activated his Stage III Spectral Body form which became known as the **Armoured Titan** (装甲巨人, *Sōkō Kyojin*?, Lit. "Armoured Giant"). As the Amroured Giant, he gained access to greater capabilities of manipulating the flame that manifests with his quirk to tangile weapons capable of greater offensive power, defenses increased amost 10x greater then his Stage-II. He's capable of manifesting and shield and focus manipulation of the fires to battle against Tengoku's Apotheosis form which became an highlight with the teachers at U.A. due to the signifance of the fight. It was said he used this form for over 10 hours after the Vanguard left as Apotheosis was still activated, and used his flames to eventually calm Gregory down after pinning him with his shield. He has yet to remanifest this form since the Training Camp Incident.

### Weaknesses

One of the weaknesses with Spectra Body is duration and the fact it uses stamina with prolonged use. During the U.S.J. Incident, it's shown Spectra Armour during Stage I can take so many before it begins to falter, the nomu was eventually break the Spectral Body with its strength. When he temporarily gained Stage-III: Armoured Giant form, after having calmed down Gregory, he was left utterly exhausted and even close to death due to exhaustion and depletion of stamina.
