**Intelligence**: Extraordinary Genius: Even at an early age Akuto could be considered serious. When witnessing being left, he looked as if he was brooding his next move. By the age of 5 he had already reached his mental peak and had an astute understanding of the world and great self-awareness. This is most notable in academics, having excellent grades. Junko was even surprised he passed the Constant Magic Academy entrance exam since is so difficult that there are many years when no one can pass. He also isn't a slouch when it comes to combat even early in the series, being able to keep up with Junko, who is one of the most skilled students in the school and trains to become a ninja. In Volume 1 he defeated, and basically tortured, Takeshi and several of his goons. While usually his mana control isn't the best, when he becomes serious, he can use it to defend against rockets, different magical explosions, chains and much, much more, all of that while focusing both on defense and offense. In his second fight against Junko, he managed to defend against her clones and choose the best course of action while making sure Keena was safe. He even managed to escape most of the students chasing him towards the end for a while, until teaming up with Junko and Korone and defeating them. To not cause unnecessary damage, Akuto was given an incantation gun, and not long after attaining it, he had amazing aim with it from the get-go. He was also able to utilize the air magic inside the bullets to bring it out and increase their destructive power. Also, if he ever needed more precise aim, he could simply redirect the trajectory of the bullet, so they hit the target. Later when going on a treasure hunt, Lily had instructed for the other student council members to ward off anyone trying to locate an underground graveyard where Peterhausen was sealed, and yet Akuto managed to defeat all 3 student council members, or at least force them to retreat, and all 3 were considered among the strongest and most skilled in the entire school, from abilities that allowed one to control bats and appear practically as a mist, transform into a large wolf, or even control a powerful suit of armor. When going on a field trip where Hiroshi's hometown was located, he ran into one of the CIMO-8 members Mister X. He could use powerful Sound and Vibrational attacks in the form of music to weaken and practically nullify any attempt his opponents made at even trying to stand, let alone fight. Yet, Akuto figured out how to counter his abilities by creating his own inner sound and vibrations, which continued to be effective even after Mister X ramped up the intensity of his attacks. Akuto defeated him quickly and easily with raw physical force, and each punch was dedicated to all the awful things Mister X had said or done. He also increased the sound of his own soul to cancel out Mister X’s attacks. Akuto often reads a lot of scientific books and ancient religious text, thinking about how to improve the world and how the information he just gained could benefit him and others. Even at an early age he could argue, and debate grown-ups about religion and their flawed thinking process, although it didn't amount to much besides devoted believers become mad, and the teachers at orphanage instructing him to not say the things he did even if he was right and pointed that out. When arriving at Junko's village Akuto was the only one who could locate Yuko from the start, a feat no one, even Junko or other ninjas have been able to perform. Later, after meeting Yozo, Akuto stated that he would change the outcome of his illusions after briefly examining his style. Dodged surprise spear attacks from expert ninjas after he was suddenly attacked from the ground, walls and ceiling. Fought against Yozo, an experienced ninja, and defended against his attacks and faints. When Akuto encountered Boichiro he stated that he can sever dimensions with his technology, yet Akuto figured out how it worked after seeing it once, and grabbed the space he had cut, and then proceeded to punch the other spatial attacks. Akuto fought against Brave and found different ways to defend against his attacks, from stopping Particle Cutter with his Mana, to canceling out his Plasma Ball before it could do any real damage. He also deflected his lasers with the aura surrounding himself. Disposed of 5 expert ninjas attacking him perfectly from all sides without any difficulty. He can also skillfully use his opponent's momentum against them, and ward off their attacks. Defeated countless Liradans firing countrless arrows, and trying to attach themselves to Peterhausen while he was attached to the God Tree. Kazuko called Akuto quick-witted compared to all of the previous Demon Kings, which includes Zero. Could teleport 30,000 people at once which was described as if focusing on every single grain in a box of sand, and then moving each one individually to another box. Nigh-Omniscient (consciously created all information in some of his worlds, has access to the data logs of the computer gods, has spent millennia studying all kinds of different worlds, can perceive everything and anything in the afterlife ). Omniscient (created every possible story and should be comparable to the likes of the law of identity in his void body)

**Standard equipment**: None Notable

**Weaknesses**: Akuto can have difficulty controlling his magic output, which usually leads to his opponents, or even friends, being injured far worse than they should have, however, this weakness was largely overcome by Volume 4. After Akuto's limiters are removed he loses the control of the torrent of power and his emotions which leads to creating heat that can melt Suhara's Pseudo Space and potentially hurt those he didn't intend to.

## Other Attributes

List of Equipment: Wooden practice sword (In Volume 1 given to him by Junko), An incantation gun (In Volume 2 given to him by Fujiko), Robe of the Fire Rat

Notable attacks/techniques:

All stories: All of the existence are stories. From the inside, these stories appear to be true and from the outside to be fiction. Akuto created all stories that can be described. This includes stories with higher dimensions and without, with time and without time, where the occult exists and where it doesn't and all other sorts of different concepts. Some of these stories contain stories themselves and people like Sai Akuto that can freely create stories. These stories can be called stories of higher story density and can form infinite hierarchies with infinite cardinals.

Anti–universe : In Dkd , each anti– universe which was created at the very end which exists beyond everything and anything that include existence and nonexistence, possibility, causality, dualism and non-dualism, the concepts of life and death, and their analogues at every level and , every empty above( also known as nothingness ).

Hua jin: A type of martial art or a fighting style that he learned from the principal. This allows Akuto to control every single muscle in his body. What's more, this fighting style works well with his magic type and because of that he can lift gigantic structures such as the Genkaku, a ship 350m in length. This also allows Akuto to deflect other's attack as to avoid vital spots, like he did in his fight against Boichiro.

Immortality: After the world was destroyed and Akuto arrived in the afterlife brave attempted to travel into the past to prevent the world's destruction. He attempted this many times by, amongst others, preventing the development of magic and killing Akuto, but when he returned to the afterlife of the future nothing ever noticeably changed. That was due to the law of identity having predetermined the fate of Akuto and the world. No matter what brave changed in the past, history would always realign itself to keep the end result the same. Akuto could, for example, later on be revived by someone else, as demonstrated in act 8. When Akuto tried to crush the afterlife and by that erase himself, the law of identity stopped that as well, as this wasn't an ending it would allow. In conclusion, while one can kill Akuto in the world of the living, sending him to the afterlife and by that winning against him, it will ultimately make no difference for the fate of him or the world. Furthermore, any action that would even destroy his afterlife self would be prevented by the law of identity.

Void body: The void body is a state Akuto archived during the final ritual with the law of identity. That ritual brought both the stories and Akuto's body down to zero and created a void. During this ritual, Akuto and all souls in him are taken into the law of identity and together with it they enter the infinite anti-universe, the place where all or entire stories end.

Extra info: The void body only existed during a very short time during the end of the story and as such not much is known about it.

## ***Note(s):***

"God suhara arc" is a fan-given name for the first arc of the series, which covers volume 1-5, which would be episodes 1-12 for the anime. This is done for the sake of conveniency.

The "Empress kazuko arc" key covers volumes 6-9. Volume 6 is a slice of life type of story, which can be interpreted as a fun standalone read where the characters are trapped inside of a videogame. Volume 7 revolves around vps (virtual phase space) and the ending introduces us to new trouble that will revolve around empress kazuko and zero from volume 8-9.

"Formless power arc" covers volumes 10-12, with volume 10 being a more casual read centered around student council but not much happening. This also includes volumes 11-12 which are centered around the one, an alien from an outer universe and his civilization invading the main world which is known as the "formless power". The void body only existed during a very short time during the end of the story and as such not much is known about it

ただし、彼のいる詩宇宙論層は彼の宇宙論を処理できません (彼の宇宙論レベルが非常に高く、層も高いため (層が多い層 0))。

そして、同一性の法則の助けを借りずに、ヴォイドフォームを作成することができました。

そのため、彼は一人で現実世界に侵入することができ、何らかの理由で彼を作成した作者を殺し、彼は魔王ディアモ小説全体（小説内の無限の無限の詩を含む）の作者になりました（それが、0^inf レイヤーとして無限に定義されている理由です)。
