## **Technique(s):**

**Sunlight Heart:** It first was believed to be Kakugane LXX, but Kazuki came to discover he was actually in possession of the Black Kakugane III, with the actual Kakugane LXX being in the possession of Dr. Butterfly. Seeing as the Kakugane doubles as his heart, his Buso Renkin plays a unique and critical role in Kazuki's survival. Once invoked, his Buso Renkin, Sunlight Heart, takes the form of a spear-lance with a large decorative cloth attached. He was told his personality fit as a spear so his Kakugane took that form, because he liked to poke his nose into other people's business.

* **Energy Manipulation:** The cloth is turned into an energy force when it resonates with Kazuki's willpower.
	+ **Propulsion:** The cloth's energy can be used as propulsive kinetic energy for forward charging.
	+ **Minor Gravity Manipulation:**  The cloth's energy can be used for dissipating the gravitational forces of a fall.
	+ **Sunlight Slasher:** Formerly named the "Jousting Slasher," is a straight charge attack under the propulsion of cloth's energy at full capacity, and it appears to be his quickest attack.
	+ S**unlight Flasher:** Formerly the "Jousting Flasher," uses a burst of bright light from the cloth to blind the enemy.
	+ **Sunlight Crasher:** Formerly the "Jousting Crasher," is his strongest attack, which wraps the cloth around the lance and uses its energy force to increase the overall speed and destructive force of the charge.
	+ **Unnamed Energy Attack:** During his fight against Kawazui, when Kazuki first discovered the energy abilities of his Buso Renkin's cloth, he used an unnamed energy attack that incinerated all of his mini-frogs. Presumably, this is Kazuki's only ranged/area-of-effect attack, but he hasn't used it since.

**Victorization:** When Kazuki's Black Kakugane III awoke it transformed him into a Victor giving him glowing white hair (light green in the anime), red eyes, and tanned skin with an outline of the Black Kakugane on his chest. Kazuki was only in Stage 1 of the Victorization which meant he could revert back to his human form. The transformation was usually triggered when Kazuki was angry as it sent him into a beserker rage when he first fought Victor. Afterwards he would normally transform in response to his normal fighting spirit. This transformation grants greatly increased physical powers (i.e.. strength; durability; stamina; speed; reflexes; agility)

* **Evolved Buso Renkin:** Kazuki's Buso Renkin permanently evolved after his Victorization,
	+ **Sunlight Heart Plus:** Sunlight Heart permanently evolved into this form shortly after Kazuki's Kakugane resonated with Victor's Black Kakugane and revealed itself to be Black Kakugane III. In this form it has a smaller, sleeker design. It's also much more powerful.

* **Energy Drain:** A Victor's primary ability is a 'vital body function' which absorbs people's life force; it's possible to kill a person by draining his/her energy. As it is a vital body function, it is impossible to stop or shut off. Because of this however Kazuki is capable of surviving without oxygen as shown when he fought Victor on the moon.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** The energy drain ability allows Kazuki to heal wounds and regenerate lost limbs almost instantly, having even more vitality than a homunculus.
