**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **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.
* **All Stories:** All of existence is stories. From the inside these stories appear to be truth and from the outside to be fiction. Akuto is capable of creating 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 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 :** Anti-universe which was created at the very end which exists beyond everything , anything and every empty above( known as Nothingness )
* **Void Body:** The void body Akuto is a state 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 stories end.

**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.
