Urahara is quite possibly the greatest genius in Soul Society's history, having invented numerous creations such as numerous Gigai variations, Tenshintai (which allowed a capable individual to achieve Bankai in a mere three days compared to the usual ten year period), and the infamous Hogyoku. Even the incredibly manipulative and calculating Aizen considers Urahara to be his intellectual superior. Aside from his incredible intellect, he is also a master of Hakuda, Zanjutsu, and Kido, the Shinigami hand-to-hand, sword-based, and magical combat styles. He can easily incapacitate an entire prison full of Soul Society's most dangerous criminals with his bare hands and comfortably clash with other Shinigami Captains and the Espada in a swordfight. His mastery of Kido is so great that he's invented several spells and has opened barriers that Shinigami Captains could not. He is also a master of deception and strategy, admitting to Aizen that he planned and prepared for virtually every scenario within reason and hiding his intellect underneath a facade of frivolousness and cheery eccentricity.

**Weaknesses:** His sealing technique requires the target to be weakened for it to take full effect.
