### InsectsEdit

Insects: Shiki's Tao abilities revolve around the talismans he carries, which are used to charm insects. This is activated via verbal commands, beginning with "receive", followed by the name of the curse. He can use the insects to bind or attack his opponents, as well as to make a quick escape

* - Flying insects which serve as spies and which channel anything they see into a crystal ball, enabling him to keep an eye wherever his insects are patrolling.

* - "Puppet Bees" whose venom enables Shiki to take control of anyone they sting. Shiki mostly uses this insect to control his victims' body while they remain conscious, but he can turn his victims into mindless robots who will do nothing but obey his commands, even if it means killing or maiming someone. Apparently, those whom he controls to this point cannot feel pain.

* - Blue Moths which can secrete a powder, enabling those who inhale it to no longer feel pain.

* - Swarms of flying insects which he either launches at his enemies or surrounds himself with, in order to fly at high speeds.

* - Huge and powerful insects with sharp claws and fangs, which he uses as weapons and which he often rides in battle. These insects usually look like giant, mutated butterflies, mosquitos, wasps or caterpillars. Shiki can also uses these insects to bind his enemies and neutralize them, which he often does in the anime.

* - Flying Blade Insect : The strongest insect that Shiki can create with his mask on. This huge mosquito-like monster can fly at incredible speed and its stinger is sharp enough to slice a well built body in two without hitting its target full-on. When it charges at full speed it can even slice metal. The insect's body is hard as steel and as such, it can use its wings like a shield. By spinning around at full speed, it can even deflect back projectiles like bullets from a machine gun and possibly grenades.

When he removes his mask, Shiki releases his full might and his ki becomes so powerful that even those without a power of Tao can feel its sheer pressure. He can now create much more powerful and dangerous insects. He creates only one insect with his power at its maximum, but it's worth a hundred of Flying Blade Insects. Moreover Shiki is now able to resurrect the insects he created even if their body is completely broken. The insects are linked to Shiki's mind and as long as Shiki is conscious, they will regenerate themselves without end, meaning that knocking Shiki out is the only way to fully destroy them. Even worse Shiki can increase his insect's (already high) power, making them much bigger and stronger without even decreasing their speed.

* Setsuki is Shiki's most perfect creation. Setsuki, the Demon Insect of War is a highly powerful, humanoid hopper-like insect who somehow looks like Cell's first form from *Dragon Ball*. He is fully sentient, he has human-level intelligence, he can talk and he is blindly devoted to Shiki. Setsuki is incredibly strong, fast, and proficient in hand-to-hand combat, having fighting skills which rival that of a Chrono Number, no less.

### FudaEdit

Aside from his power of Tao, Shiki masters the Tao-based art of Fudas. (Pieces of papers with an incantation written on it.) By channeling his ki through the Fuda he can cast a spell. Shiki is only seen using Fudas with his mask off. (Aside from the anime, where he only uses it to summon his strongest insects.) He may be able to use Fudas to cast regular spells but he only uses them for battle.

Shiki can throw Fudas which cause a huge explosion whenever they touch something or someone, even when they are hit by bullets, meaning that they cannot be blocked. He was seen sending many of them one after another, to overwhelm his foes. Shiki can also use his Fudas to fire powerful beams of pure ki (including the fearsome Spirit Cannon: a star-shaped, five Fuda formation which hurls a gigantic beam of ki) or to create a spherical shield of ki around him.

Moreover, Shiki can shape several dozens of Fuda into a "magical" sword which he wields with immense proficiency. He can channel his ki to the sword to unleash higly powerful fire-based attacks, including "Hellfire" a gigantic and devastating fireball and his strongest attack "Homura no Orochi" The Scorching Serpent : a gargantuarian, dragon-like snake of fire which attacks as if it were alive and can reduce everything it strikes to ashes.
