**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Thunderbolt:** Gilthunder's innate magic power which allows him to generate and control lightning for various purposes, both from his body and from the clouds above. Gilthunder can create thunderstorms, call down lightning and shape it into bindings for his opponents, imbue his weapon with lightning to enhance its strikes, and envelop himself in a cloak of lightning both as a defense and to boost his speed.

* **Heavy Armor of the Thunder Emperor:** Gilthunder uses the excess lightning channeled into his sword to form an armor and shield made of lightning. The armor serves both offensive and defensive purposes, protecting him as well as dealing damage to those who attack him physically.
	+ **Embrace of the Thunder God:** Githunder uses the lightning around himself to create a cloak of lightning around his enemy, dealing continuous electric damage around their entire body.

* **Iron Hammer of the Thunder Emperor:** Using his sword or fingers, Gilthunder summons a massive lightning bolt down on his opponent.

* **Purge of the Thunder Emperor:** Gilthunder performs a sequence of slashes with his sword before calling down an enormous burst of lightning on his target.

* **Pursuit of the Lightning Beast:** Gilthunder summons three lightning bolts from the clouds above and shapes them into lightning beasts as they come down. The three bolts strike successively rather than at the same time, making it difficult to counter them all at once.

* **Sword of the Thunder Emperor:** Gilthunder concentrates a large amount of lightning in his sword. The technique itself was never shown.

* **Thunderclap Strike:** Gilthunder cloaks himself and his sword in lightning and lunges at his opponent with extreme speed, hitting them with a powerful strike and releasing a large burst of lightning.
