Saiki Kusuo/Abilities

Psychic Powers

 * The current list of powers Kusuo has displayed thus far.

Apport

 * The power to pull something from somewhere else and have it appear before you. Works in tandem with teleportation. Anything teleported needs to be exchanged using Apport with something of exactly equal value or within a 10% difference. Kusuo can cause trouble if he isn't careful, as the item that Apports takes the place of the Apported item. On one occasion, he accidentally destroyed school property after swapping a ball with a umbrella.

Astral Projection

 * The power to separate his or someone else spirit from their body. He can fight ghosts in this state
 * Possession: When astral projecting Kusuo can take over someone's body by switching his spirit with theirs.

Bilocation
Related article: Saiki Kusuo's Clones
 * Kusuo can use this power to duplicate himself. It is one of Kusuo most difficult powers for various reasons. He cannot control how the clones look or act, he needs to remove his limiter to use this power, the clones have all his powers and can feel anything he feels, including the removal of his limiter, which means they could cause serious damage if left unchecked.

Clairvoyance

 * Without having to move, this power allows Kusuo to view objects or people anywhere that are obstructed from his view by crossing his eyes.

Cryokinesis

 * The ability that allows a person to create and control ice with their mind.

Curse

 * The ability to create misfortune to others and can be done by touch. The course of the curses can be changed at Kusuo's discretion.

Electrification

 * The ability to manipulate electricity.

Flight/Levitation

 * The ability to fly/float.

Hydrokinesis

 * The ability to freely use water or create water. Also the ability to create sweat on the body.

Hypnosis

Invisibility

 * The power to turn himself invisible for 10 minutes. It is canceled if someone touches him while he's in that state. When the time runs out, or if someone touches him, he has to wait 1 minute before turning invisible again.

Mediumship

 * The power to see and communicate with spirits. This is not a power Kusuo typically possesses and seem to work exclusively with Takeuchi Riki's spirit. This can also be used with Psychometry when he is with Toritsuka Reita

Memory Alteration

 * Delivering a strong impact to someone's head to eliminate the desired memory. In the anime a wacky yellow bat resembling TV Tokyo's mascot must be used. In the manga anything that causes an impact (ex: crowbar) may be used.
 * Memory Supplementation: The drawback of this power as Kusuo uses restoration on the brain of the person, the memory is filled with a random different memory on each person.

Mind Control

 * The power to influence the minds of every single person on the planet - this can even change the laws of nature and human ecology itself, making it one of his most powerful abilities. Kusuo also considers it his most dangerous power as he could wipe out humanity with a single thought.
 * Genetic Manipulation: With mind control, Kusuo is able to alter humanity's DNA. He used this a few times, at a young age, to make unusual hair and eye colors commonplace, major injuries to heal faster, and among other things.

Petrification

 * The power to turn a living being to stone by looking them in the eye. This happens automatically unless he is wearing his glasses. It takes a full 24 hrs for an affected being to turn back to normal. This is one of Kusuo's ability that he can't control and one of the few not to be affected by his limiter.

Precognition

 * The power to see events that will occur before they actually happen, usually accompanied by a headache. This can happen when he is asleep. Kusuo has no control over his ability and can misinterpret or even cause what happens.

Psychic Hold

 * The ability to throw an electric current to the opponent to bind him.

Psychokinesis/Telekinesis

 * The ability to bring forth a physical energy just by thinking it, which you can use to do things like move or break objects. It's one of his most commonly used powers.
 * Full Force: Without any precaution, Kusuo's power increases every time he attacks.
 * Assist: When full force is applied, there is a great increase on the power and speed of the object/person the psychokinesis in being used and is possible to continue until exhaustion
 * Psycho Bit: One of the main techniques Kusuo uses which allows him to move multiple rocks and inflicts damages to someone regardless of his/her distance.
 * Limit Released Psychokinesis: The ability to create a ball of energy in the air. It's power was able to destroy a whole island.

Psychometry

 * The ability to receive information stored in an object if he touches it without his gloves. When Kusuo touches a person, he experiences their senses, including those that are impacted by psychic abilities, as if they are his own. This power by extension allows him to see and communicate spirits when he is in physical contact with Reita.

Pyrokinesis

 * The ability allowing a person to create and control fire with their mind. He can use this power to make other people blush.

Restoration

 * The power to revert a person or object, and everything it touches, by 24 hours with the restriction of reviving the dead and undoing petrification. May only be used once a day per a target.

Shrinking Power/Size Augmentation

 * The power to shrink down his body to small sizes. It takes 1 hour to return to normal size. Later it's revealed that he also has the power to grow huge, but it's basically useless. Shrinking = fast, growing = slow.

Song Cancellation Laser

 * A laser beam from Kusuo's eyes cancels the song on the karaoke. It would seem invisible on human's naked eye.

Super Strength

 * The ability of having extreme strength, beyond what is believed to be normal. It is easily one of the powers he has the least control over, though he has gotten better at throwing balls at a human levels. He also can't control this power when he is in a non-human form.

Sweating

 * The ability to secrete sweat freely. Kusuo uses it mostly to give himself the appearance of being tired out even when he isn't in reality.

Telepathy

 * The ability that is used the most, due to the mode of Kusuo's communication. The power to read and talk through minds. It works on humans and animals, but Kusuo can't turn it off. It doesn't work on an idiot like Riki or bugs.
 * Angel Whisper: The ability which telepathically speaks of the crime on the doer to stimulate guilt.
 * Brain Lullaby: The ability that sends a lullaby to the opponent's brain to put them to sleep however this may differ to whom it was used.
 * Bug News: A pseudo "foreboding" that feeds telepathic advice or call for help.

Teleportation

 * The power to send back himself and something he touches to a faraway place. But he can only teleport once before needing to wait three minutes until he can use it again.

Thoughtography

 * The ability to create picture perfect photos just by thinking it.

Time Travel/Time Leaps

 * The power to escape the flow of time by jumping to either the past or future. It also activates itself randomly, getting Kusuo stuck in a loop, and the only way to get time to go back to normal is for him to completely empty his mind of all thoughts.

Transformation (Shapeshift, Morph)

 * The ability to physically transform his body into anything. It takes two hours to fully transform. When he takes on a non-human form, it's hard for him to control his physical strength.

X-Ray

 * The power to see through things you normally couldn't like underside of a face-down card, or the contents of an airtight box. Like his telepathy he can not control this power. The permeability to view through things increases every seconds: 3 seconds the clothes and 5 seconds the skin. When the limiter is removed the rate increase, being able to see bones near instantaneously. Because of this he often sees through the skin of other organisms and views their muscular and skeletal systems making other humans and living creatures unattractive. The ability is reset whenever he blinks or closes his eyes.

Other Powers

 * Kusuo can magnify distant objects in his vision so he can see them clearly. This ability can be considered another form of Clairvoyance.

Weaknesses
Uncontrollable Powers: When the limiter devices on his head are removed, even for a second, Kusuo himself is knocked unconscious and even after waking up, he is unable to control the muscles in his entire body. Worse, his mind control powers are not controllable either. He states that his powers will wreak havoc onto the entire world and cannot be stopped by even him. It should be noted that there are times where Kusuo himself is shown to remove his limiter devices in order to use some of his more powerful powers, but he is not shown suffering afterwards from any of the setbacks mentioned above. One such time was when he used mind control to make it so that PK Academy students can work part-time jobs. He also had one limiter device removed at the beach by Teruhashi while he was asleep, but was able to fix the trouble his Bedpsyching caused, seemingly moving properly without issue even before he got the limiter device back. As Kusuo is shown to be able to use repetitive practice/training in order to learn to be able to control his excessive capabilities (like his ability to throw balls that exceed sonic speed), it can be assumed that if he trains hard enough, he might become able to control his powers better as well. Unfortunately, it can also be easily assumed that he relies on his Control Devices instead because the world will be destroyed by his powers first before he can master their control through repeated practice. A proof of this case is when he took more than 16,000 tries to master using his powers (at a limited state) while his mind is empty, due to being stuck in a looping time leap during one of his usual days. He also uses his powers unconsciously when frightened.

Bedpsyching: The ability to use psychic abilities while sleeping. This abilities were one of Kusuo's problems before when he still haven't got any control devices. According to Kurumi, his bed psyching continued until 4th grade. Though it will come back if someone removes his control device while he's sleeping.

Allergies: Saiki's powers are affected by allergies and will cause stuff to blow up when he sneezes. He also has no way of curing allergies with his powers.

ESP-Related Objects
Colored Glasses: The glasses Kusuo uses to stop his eyes from petrifying people he sees. When Kusuo transforms into other life forms his glasses stay on but may take on a different appearance.

Control Devices: Devices used to take control of Kusuo's psychic powers. The devices were first made by Kusuke when Kusuo was still a 5th grade student. Kusuke intended for the device to suppress Kusuo's powers entirely, but failed. It's original shape would be an antennae but it is referred as a "hairpin" due to Kusuo's hypnotic powers. When the device is removed, Kusuo's full psychic power goes out of control and multiplies by the amount of time his powers were limited. Removing his limiters were shown to depict the world destruction. When the control devices were reinstalled, it would take time before his powers stabilizes. The control devices cannot stop the growth of Kusuo's power and before the device was used by Kusuo, he said his current limited power matches when he was just five years old. The device also does not effect all of his powers, such as his Pyschomotry and petrification.

Gloves: Kusuo always wears a pair of very thin gloves that are invisible to the naked eye. These gloves are used to seal his Psychometry, which cannot be turned off. If the gloves are ripped, his Psychometry has no restraint.

Germanium: An element that makes Kusuo unable to use his telepathic powers when in contact with it. However, due to this he is unable to react ahead of time to peoples actions. This is shown when he wears a germanium ring that was left by a salesman. As soon as he wore the ring in public he was instantly unsettled and considered everyone around him a Nendou-like being while wondering how "regular" people were able to walk around without knowing if the person next to them was a murderer.
