Medaka herself possesses an absurd amount of luck that surpasses even most abnormals, such as getting the same result when throwing multiple dices, getting past a door where a six digit code was changed randomly to the point where you'd need a chance of 1 in 1 million. Zenkichi further explains that Medaka is able to pull the winner out of a chance 1 in a million chances a million times in a row), Transformation, Rage Power & Berserk Mode (When Medaka is enraged enough, she enters War God Mode, her fourth trump card. When in War God Mode, she loses her sense of humanity and goes berserk), Power Mimicry (Medaka’s abnormality is called “The End” and it is the power to perfect and master any ability, skill, power, or technique she sees once. Not only can Medaka use other people’s skills perfectly, she can use other people’s skills at 120% capacity, allowing her to use them better than the original user. Later in the series Medaka’s “The End” evolves and improves to the point where she can instantly master any ability by only hearing information about it second-hand), Fear Manipulation (She was capable of making Unzen sub-consciously retreat by glaring at him), Pain Tolerance, Passive Plot Manipulation (Due to being a "protagonist", Medaka is protected by some sort of Plot-Armor, with the world revolving around her, causing events to flow somewhat analogous to a narrative; This can cause her to have enemy's attacks miss vital areas, be spared by the whim of enemies, and come up with winning strategies in a pinch. Her enemies in tournaments will go from weakest to strongest, she may be caught up in random murder plots, she will often run into friends and long-time enemies in unrelated circumstances, etc. Ajimu, who could literally turn-off all of Medaka's abilities, stated that she can't win agains't Medaka due to her possessing the power of being a main character. She further explains that if Medaka Box was the world of the Weekly Shounen Jump, no one would be able to defeat Medaka due to her being the main character, a type of hero that appears once every 1000 years)
Instinctive Reactions (Auto-Pilot skill allows her to attack purely on reflex), Dimensional Storage (Can use Munakata's skill which allows the user to store any amount of weapons), Healing (Copied Koga Itami's self-healing ability), Disease Manipulation & Death Manipulation (Copied Aoki's Five Fingers skill which allows the user to instantly induce any ailment, capable of causing anything from cancer or a heart attack to a light summer fever with a single scratch from her claws), Mind Manipulation & Electricity Manipulation (Weighted Words allows Medaka to control the minds of others using electrical signals that interfere with her target’s brain functions.

In addition to the straightforward uses for temperature, this skill allows the user to fly by creating a backflow of air by manipulating temperatures somehow), Perception Manipulation & Memory Manipulation (Copied the Mister Unknown skill. This ability causes everyone to avoid sensing the user completely because they subconsciously block them from their memories and senses. Even if the user is sitting in an empty classroom, alone, with the lights on, it is incredibly difficult to even notice it. If the user wishes not to be found, it is impossible to find them and people will completely forgot about their existence), Causality Manipulation (Copied All Fiction skill, which allows the user to erase cause and effect, undo the existence of past events, undo the reality in which the user was damaged and undo things that have been undone), Existence Erasure (All Fiction can turn people into "nothing" as if they never existed to begin with), Conceptual Manipulation (Type 4. All Fiction was shown to be able to erase the concept of time and colors from the universe), Resurrection (All Fiction passively resurrect the user if the latter happens to die somehow), Absolute Zero & Heat Manipulation (All Fiction can turn the temperature or heat of something into nothing), Law Manipulation (All Fiction could erase the laws of the Hero's Sword), Empathic Manipulation & Statistics Reduction (Copied Book Maker, which soils the heart, making the victim feel absolute despair upon being hit with it. Afterwards, Book Maker makes the user and the target equal in every way. Intelligence, strength, skill, talent, durability, speed, damage… Everything about the user and the victim are made equal and kept equal. When a difference emerges between them, Book Maker will even them out again, maintaining a constant equilibrium and essentially ensuring a draw), Sealing (Book Maker seals every ability the target has), Body Control, Pain Manipulation & Memory Manipulation (Copied Scar Dead skill, which gives the user the power to reopen any wound that the target has ever experienced. Bug bites, broken bones, muscle pain, bruises, cuts. Any wound the target has ever incurred in their life, no matter how much time has passed or how much healing has gone into healing it, it can forcibly be made as fresh as the time they received it. This extends to mental trauma and emotional wounds as well, regardless of whether the target has forgotten their trauma), Invulnerability & Damage Transferal (Copied Gagamaru's Encounter skill, which allows the user to transfer all damage done to the user to anywhere or anyone else in their surroundings. If they take a hit, than an object or person nearby will take the hit for them instead. This effectively makes the user invulnerable to all forms of damage as long as there's something nearby they can transfer that damage to, be it an inanimate object, the ground, or another person), and potentially a hundred more abilities from Ajimu
Resistance to Mind Manipulation (Can counter Mind Control by brainwashing herself back to normal), Electricity-Based Mind Manipulation, Sealing, Empathic Manipulation (Can use Ice Fire to keep her head cool to prevent suffering from mental damage) and hot and cold temperatures (By controlling her own body temperature via Ice Fire), Word Manipulation (only while in War God Mode), Memory Manipulation, Power Erasure (Only for Minus abilities), Power Absorption (Oudo Miyakonojou couldn't take away her abilities), Power Nullification (For her Supernatural Luck, common abnormals have their luck barely affected by an ability that makes nothing stray from its usual chances), Body Puppetry (Can resist Oudo's commands), Illusion Creation (While using Auto Pilot, that abnormality made illusions and feints not work on Takachiho's brain)

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Advanced Growth Rate: Medaka is incredibly gifted. By the time she was six months old, she had matured much more than her older siblings, progressing through infancy at an accelerated rate. Nobody was capable of teaching her anything because she could perfectly; learn, memorize, recall, understand, master, and utilize anything and any skill by experiencing or observing it, within seconds. She has a limitless capacity for learning and growth.
Superhuman Physiology: Medaka naturally possesses a bevy of superhuman skills: adaptability, agility, analysis, awareness, balance, calculation, charisma, cognition, combat, competence, coordination, deduction, dexterity, durability, eloquence, endurance, flexibility, instinct, intelligence, intuition, leadership, memory, meta-luck, mimicry, perception, persuasion, reasoning, reflexes, regeneration, senses, speed, strength, tactics, vitality, and willpower. Inhuman feats include: balancing on a small arm water wing, destroying a school building while constricted by tiny wires, and quickly moving three members of the Student Council into lockers in seconds before a giant explosion occurred. Although she rarely uses this skill, she possesses an ability called body supremacy; she is capable of near complete, precise control of the movements and functions of all her muscles, bones, flesh, blood, organs, nerves, hair, and veins, and she can control them with both conscious and/or subconscious command. This makes her immune to forced motor control by others and allows her to adjust or improve body functions.
- Intimidator/Alpha Presence: Medaka's raw power, which humans perceive as either as a supernatural charisma and eloquence which inspires them to follow her, or as an overwhelming fearful aura that forces them to obey her. This raw power when sensed by animals inspires only pure terror. Thus, although Medaka adores animals, they in turn are frightened to death of her and will avoid contact at all costs.
- Revised Echolocation Cannon Echo Counter Cannon: A powerful shout, it vibrates on a reverse phase that cancels out other sounds.
Combat Expert: Medaka is a Red Belt in Judo and is highly skilled in Kendo (even thought she just "tried her hand" at it). Using only the basics of what is taught, she could do the Replication Technique (stepping forwards and backwards so fast that she creates clones of herself) and steal things out of peoples hands without anyone noticing (bare hand disarm). Medaka has also learned to catch bullets in her mouth as a form of self-defense.
- Kurokami Rolling Savate: Medaka performs a Savate style reverse figure kick to the opponent's face.
- Kurokami Lariat: Medaka strikes her opponent's neck with the inside of her outstretched arm.
- Kurokami Climb: Using Yoshinogari's claws and Isahaya's spikes, Medaka can scale building walls as high as the fifth floor. Medaka doesn't seem to have much control over her momentum however, as she reached the fifth floor while only intending to climb to the third. This may have been because she was in a hurry however.
- Kurokami Dancing: Using Kunisaki's bicycle, Medaka can quickly maneuver around multiple people, even while moving up a staircase. Because of how quickly she moves, Medaka needs to tie up her hair before beginning.
- Kurokami Reflect: Borrowing Unzen's Super Balls, Medaka unleashes a barrage of attacks from several angles at amazing speed. However, Medaka claims that the angles are completely random, as she lacks Unzen's calculation abilities, at least for the quantity of balls she uses to attack. The actual effectiveness of this attack is unknown, as her opponent, Takachiho, was able to dodge every single ball.
- Kurokami Open Blow: In War God Mode, Medaka charges forward and attacks with a palm strike. The hit packs enough force to knock back Tsurubami, and caused him to spit up blood.
- Kurokami Hip Attack: While her body is being restrained, Medaka lifts herself with her stomach muscles, then drops herself on her opponent's chest with enough force to make them cough up blood. Medaka labels this as a "girly" attack.
- Kurokami Phantom: Medaka's signature move, she first jumps up and down, dragging out the noise so that the sound of her feet tapping on the floor isn't heard until after her feet have left the floor again. Once the sound lag is at its fullest, Medaka blows forward, producing a sonic boom that destroys everything in her front of and behind her. Because she moves faster than the eye can see, the opponent won't be able to react until after she has already hit them. Takachiho, so far the only person she has used it on, theorizes that she is faster then light, but Medaka claims that she just speed forward when he blinked. The aim of Kurokami Phantom is to forcefully break through the sound barrier.
- Kurokami Phantom: Proper Version: After witnessing Hinokage's Theme Song, Medaka becomes capable of using Kurokami Phantom without any physical strain or damage. However, to use the Proper Version, Medaka must be in Altered God Mode and can only use it three times in one day. The aim of the Proper Version is to, instead of break the sound barrier, work with it in order to create a less self-harmful attack.
- Kurokami Final: Kurokami Phantom's final form, only usable after Medaka enters End God Mode, wherein her blood flow is greatly enhanced through the use of vibrations. To use this technique, Medaka first creates a shadow clone in front of her in order to break the sound barrier without losing any of her own speed or power. Afterwards, she follows the slip stream created by the clone. Kurokami Final utilizes blind spots; Medaka hides within her opponent's shadow while optimizing her speed. In the case of Iihiko, who dodged the attack, Medaka made a U-turn and attacked him from behind.
Supernatural Luck: All Abnormals have this to an extent, but as a "Hero" Medaka exceeds them by a far margin. Easily manifesting one in a million chances and guessed the next combination of the door which has a 1 in a trillion chance of happening, stated to be able to pull it off a million times in a row, far superior to all other abnormals who pass through the same door on a daily basis, causing all dice she rolls to stack on top of each other, and helping her to win elections. This can also cause her to have enemy's attacks miss vital areas, be spared by the whim of enemies, and come up with winning strategies in a pinch. The world revolves around them, causing events to flow somewhat analogous to a narrative; Their enemies in tournaments will go from weakest to strongest, they may be caught up in random murder plots, they will often run into friends and long-time enemies in unrelated circumstances, etc. However, depending on the kind of "Hero," they can lose this status by performing sufficiently 'unheroic' deeds.
Abnormality
The End: Medaka is capable of learning Abnormalities and completely mastering them, to the extent that she can use them to one hundred and twenty percent of their capability, becoming more skilled with them than even their original owners. This ability allows her to learn any skill quickly, from simple skills like baseball to the impossible feats performed by the members of the Thirteen Party. Medaka has learned:
- Auto-Pilot: An Abnormality copied from Takachiho that allows Medaka to effectively put her brain on auto-pilot, reacting to, dodging, and countering attacks without thinking about it. However, this ability has its limits, as it cannot defend Medaka against things she would be unable to perceive normally.
- Hidden Weapons Specialist: An Abnormality copied from Munakata that allows Medaka to conceal any weapon of any size on her person, even if its dimensions vastly exceed her own size.
- Reading Minds: Can read people's minds, or to be exact, can read their emotions. Medaka can receive the electrical signals both machines and people release. This Abnormality is more like a transceiver than actual telepathy.
- Weighted Words: An Abnormality that allows her to manipulate the electrical signals in one's brain with verbal commands, making it exceedingly difficult to resist them for as long as Medaka remains complete and utter concentrated on her target. This ability also extends to machines, allowing her to crush or lift them by manipulating the electricity inside of them.
As her Abnormality has developed, Medaka can now learn abilities based on information or word-of-mouth and can now copy Minuses, successfully learning such as:
- Five Focus: A Minus that allows Medaka to inflict or remove any diseases she wishes from those she scratches with her nails, ranging from a slight fever to cancer. As it can heal ailments, it can also be used to fix wounds, injuries, and fractures.
- Encounter: An ability copied from Gagamaru Chougasaki that allows her to push away all damage inflicted on her, including all physical, emotional, and mental damage, elsewhere. No matter how fast or numerous the attacks, she will take no damage from any assault. The location is specified by her and can range from structures to other people. Even if there is no opening, Encounter will still push any damage away. It is also speculated that Encounter would be able to push away Medaka's own death.
- Scar Dead: A Minus that allows Medaka to reopen any wound someone has ever received, no matter how old the wound is. This ability extends not only to physical wounds, but to mental wounds as well, allowing her to destroy her foes' minds by reopening all of their mental wounds and traumas at once, ignoring their physical durability.
- Ice Fire: An ability that allows Medaka to manipulate her own body temperature. She can lower her temperature to create and manipulate ice around her using vapor in the air. She can also instantly seal wounds by freezing her veins and skin, and well as keep her head cool to prevent herself suffering from mental damage in the midst of combat.
- Unknown Hero: An ability copied from Hinokage that prevents Medaka's foes from noticing her presence unless she wills it. Even then, if she wishes herself to remain hidden, no one, not even those as observant as her, will be able to acknowledge her presence.
- Mother's Task: An Abnormality copied from Hitomi Hitoyoshi that makes Medaka exceedingly skilled at anything considered "motherly", such as gardening, cleaning, and cooking. When applied in combat, Medaka would be able to able to easily tear apart plant life when armed with any set of gardening tools.
- Book Maker: A Minus copied from Kumagawa, allowing Medaka to impale her foe with a special screw that brings the target's body, spirit, technique, intellect, and talent down to Kumagawa's level. Although the attack itself does virtually no damage, the screw "soils the heart", which can destroy the ambition and drive of most individuals. Given the fact it was copied directly from his arsenal, it should possibly be able to replicate its durability ignoring effects, although this is uncertain.
- All Fiction: A Minus that allows her to deny aspects of reality; to make anything "nothing". Because of this, she can undo anything that has been damaged. However, it has been stated that once she removes something with her Minus, she cannot return it, as it has become "fiction". This ability can even automatically reverse her own death as well as the death of others.
- Raff-Rafflesia: A Minus that allows to corrode and dissolve anything she touches. Though her power only works through her hands, it is powerful enough to corrode anything from concrete to the air around her. She can control its intensity, area of effect, and other aspects of it.
- Raff-Rafflesia Twisted Version: Raff-Rafflessia can be channelled into the ground, causing the earth to rot beneath her. Doing this creates humus, causing plants to grow rapidly and out of control. The growth of plants can be controlled via this ability
- Observation: Very similar to Maguro's Analysis, it is the method through which The End copies other abilities. In Altered God Mode it is "perfected" and allows her to see the processes of actions broken down to allow easier observation and copying.
- Zapping Study: An ability to control intelligence, Medaka could use it to decrease or increase a target's intelligence at will. Ajimu said that she may teach this to Medaka, but it's unclear whether that actually happened or not.
- Erotic Pierrot: An ability to control lust, Medaka could use it to decrease or increase a target's libido at will. Ajimu said that she may teach this to Medaka, but it's unclear whether that actually happened or not.
And a portion of Ajimu's quadrillion skills, of which she has demonstrated one hundred Trample Skills. However, The End does have its limits; Medaka cannot copy feats done through sheer physical ability, only if that feat is achieved through use of a skill, and she is unable to stop herself from learning an Abnormality when she experiences it.
Styles
Language User: After learning the basics of a style, Medaka is able to read an opponent's feelings to automatically counter their attacks, although she can only counter with a punch. Medaka can also use sound to pump her blood and move her muscles after her heart has stopped. On top of increasing her physical characteristics, this has the side-effect of causing her whole body to vibrate, repelling physical contact.
Proof Of One's Worth
- Preaching To The Lesser Mortals: Medaka's most well known trump card, she preaches to "pitiful" people who need help. She says out loud her views about them, saying they can be saved and that something horrible must have happened in their pasts for them to have fallen so far in life.
- Strict Girl/Cute Girl Switch: Medaka's second trump card, she changes abruptly from her usual personality to a softer attitude, adapting her expression and mannerisms to appear more cute.
- Over Flowing Love: Medaka's third trump card; she used it so much in class that almost everyone lost their first kiss to her until Zenkichi put a stop to it when they started elementary school. When using this ability, Medaka first makes her face look cute and then gives a kiss to the other person showing that they are loved.
- War God Mode: Medaka's fourth trump card; when Medaka is enraged, she goes into War God Mode. When in War God Mode, she loses her sense of humanity and goes berserk, while her hair turns a lighter shade of purple (fluorescent red in the anime). Medaka's presence becomes so ominous and evil that even Abnormals can be unnerved by it. Her physical strength and healing rate both increase drastically, allowing her to deal out devastating attacks while shrugging off horrific injuries. Medaka only assumes War God Mode when her friends are threatened, and even then, only when she is under heavy emotional stress. Amusingly, Medaka will also assume War God Mode when being harassed by Maguro. During her fight with Tsurubami, Medaka gains the ability to enter War God Mode at will, without losing herself to her anger. Because Medaka does not hear words when she is in War God Mode, she becomes immune to the effects of styles when she assumes this state.
- Altered God Mode: Altered God Mode is an upgraded version of War God Mode that Medaka achieved by mastering the numerous Abnormalities of the Thirteen Party and attempting to brainwash herself with Oudo's Weighted Words. Unlike War God Mode, she retains her thought process, doesn't go berserk, her hair turns black instead of light purple, and her eyes grow a darker shade of red. In this mode, Medaka is able to control everything about herself, and is capable of overwhelming Oudo and resisting his Unreasonable Taxation. In Altered God Mode, Medaka is also able to use an improved version of Kurokami Phantom that utilizes the speed and power of Hinokage's Theme Song. Though Medaka has mastered this new form, she will still revert to War God Mode if angered enough. Altered God Mode falls under the classification of martial arts, rather than as one of Medaka's skills.
- Forsaken God Mode: Created to serve a similar purpose as Kumagawa's Book Maker, Forsaken God Mode makes Medaka weaker than her opponent. No matter how weak her opponent is, Medaka will be weaker than they are; she labels it as an ability that allows her to forget about strength and skills and just go all out. Forsaken God Mode was developed as a byproduct after Medaka's fight against the Minus. With it, Medaka can intentionally make herself weaker so as to better understand people who are weaker than she is. But the aspect of understanding her opponent doesn't exist due to her complete lack of empathy. In this form, Medaka's hair turns completely white, and her eyes become a lighter shade of red.
- Hybrid God Mode: A combination of Forsaken God Mode and Altered God Mode, Medaka labels this form as "matching strength with weakness". The exact capabilities of this mode are unknown; however, it was useless against Tsurubami's style. In this form, the left side of Medaka's hair turns black, while the right side becomes white. Her right eye also turns a lighter shade of red.
- End God Mode: In this form, Medaka's hair turns black and increases in volume drastically. With her increased blood flow, Medaka is able to move at supersonic speeds and create shadow clones in front of her. These clones have enough speed to break the sound barrier, creating a slip stream to remove the obstructions to Medaka's power.
