CS
Name: Kazuma Kuwabara
Nickname:
Age: 18 (end of series.)
Gender: Male
Abilities:
Fighting style:
Brawler (with influences from Martial Arts)/Adaptable Weapons: Though Kuwabara is more of a brawler-type fighter who rushes in clumsily, he initially considers the greatest defense to be a good offense. In later battles he often wins (or at least counters) by using the versatility of his spirit blades, finding a unique application to it that would be most appropriate to the situation. His high sixth sense rarely plays a role in his battles, though he has used it to avoid foes and sense danger. As the moral core of the team, he is more prone to become stronger when his friends and innocents are present or in danger.
Abilities:
High Spirit Awareness: Kuwabara is stated as being able to hear and feel the presence of ghosts, but are only able to see them when asleep. As the series progresses, the usage and amount of his spiritual abilities and energy becomes stronger, enabling him to form increasingly powerful spiritual "swords" to fight his enemies. It seems to be that Kuwabara's energy only emerges at full power whenever he is close to death, in a very dangerous situation, or both.
Telepathy: Kuwabara has the ability to mentally read and project thoughts.
Precognition: Later on in the series, it is shown that Kuwabara is able to see visions of future events and of events surrounding circumstances
Superhuman Physical Strength & Endurance: Kuwabara possesses raw physical strength to a superhuman degree. Many times throughout the series he is shown to take the most brutal beatings out of all the main characters, yet continues to get up and fight on many occasions, such as with his fights with Byakko in the Demon World or his Dark Tournament battle with Rinku, where he left his opponent literally frightened at the sight of him standing. Kuwabara was able to withstand a kick from Rinku, which according to the latter was strong enough to break a person's neck.
Spirit Kick: Along with Yusuke, he is seen surrounding his foot with energy to strengthen his kicks.
Spirit Transfusion: Kuwabara is skilled at manipulating his spirit energy. He transfers his spirit energy into Yusuke's body so that Yusuke doesn't die, being able to transfer such a large amount that Kuwabara was knocked out as well. He also exhibits the ability to reabsorb small amounts of spirit energy released in maintaining his Spirit Sword after his battle with Byakko.
Spirit Sword: This is Kuwabara's signature attack, where he creates a sword comprised only of his Spirit Energy. Its strength depends on how much energy Kuwabara focuses into it
Energy Deflection: He can use the sword to repel energy-based techniques by swinging it like a baseball bat.
Spirit Sword Javelin: Kuwabara's power seems to be derived from a form of materialization; the act of manifesting his spirit energy into the shape of a blade. After gaining full control, Kuwabara can increase the length of his sword at will. Kuwabara is able to bend and lengthen his sword at will . This attack enables him to attack his opponent from a distance, and also act as a javelin or a pole vault in order to both leap great distances or survive falls from great heights.
Double Spirit Sword: Kuwabara develops this technique, where he can materialize two swords at once, one for each hand.
Spiritual Strike: Kuwabara extends his Spirit Sword and uses his advanced Spirit Awareness to manipulate the weapon's flexibility so that it exhibits a type of tracking feature in order to hit its target.
Spirit Sword Shards: This is a technique where Kuwabara produces small bolts of energy from his hands, similar to shuriken, and shoots the smaller spirit blades at the opponent.
Dimension Sword An enhanced version of Kuwabara's Spirit Sword that enables him to literally cut through dimensional barriers and psychic territory. An immense energy is concentrated into his spirit sword, improving its strength tremendously. Kuwabara is seen using the Dimension Sword to halve distances, effectively making a shortcut in order to stop a terrorist attack on the Spirit World, suggesting an ability to generate a space-time tear as a type of wormhole. It also appears to be able to seal itself up afterwards, suggesting that this technique does not scar reality.
Species: Human (Psychic)
Appearance(s):
From: Yu Yu Hakusho
Other: Kuwabara is extremely loyal to his friends and has a very strict code of honor. He would do anything for his friends and for love. He can be clumsy, reckless, and is also stubborn, persistent, and also has a great sense of humor. He doesn't give up a fight, even if he's injured. He has a temper, but not as bad as Yusuke's. He has a kind heart and an honest nature. He does not fight girls. Kuwabara is considered the kindest of the main characters. Kuwabara is also not a swordsman so his attacks with the spirit sword can be rather clumsy.
