Stamina: High (Fought continuously for eight hours against Pixie-Bob's Earth Beasts)
Range: Standard melee range, up to Tens of meters with "Navel Laser"
- His Hero Costume: Yuga's hero outfit, though it may look like it was meant to only look flashy, is actually made of high tech so that he can channel his laser beam to other lenses across the costume, thus allowing him to shoot his beam from other parts of his body, such as his knees and shoulders.
- Sparkle Shades: This equipment has the role of preventing Yuga from being blinded by his own shine.
- Sparkle Inner: This is a high-tech equipment, because it is designed to send the energy emitted by its navel lasers to the shoulders and knees, which have transmitters similar to his belt.
- Sparkling Emitter Gear: This equipment is divided into five "sparktacular" sparkle items that focus the sparkling energy transmitted by his "Sparkle Inner" into a single sparkling sparkle beam.
- Sparkle Belt: This is a simple but very convenient, equipment, belt that Yuga wears every day.
Intelligence: Above Average (Yuga is one of the members of class 1-A, meaning that he's presumably one of the top students in his school. He is also very proficient in using his Quirk)
Weaknesses: He is overly flamboyant and somewhat cowardly. If Yuga uses his "Navel Laser" Quirk for more than a few seconds, this will cause him stomach pain. Using Navel Laser Buffet Move can cause even more severe stomach pain.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Navel Laser: Yuga's Quirk allows him to shoot a powerful sparkling laser cannon from his navel. This Quirk was later revealed to have been given to him by All For One.
Super Moves
- Navel Buffet Laser: Yuga fires successive beams not only from his navel but also from his shoulders and knees, which are equipped with beam openings just like his Sparkle Belt. As a result, this technique puts more strain on him than when he usually uses his Quirk.
- Navel Saber: Yuga concentrates the energy of his Navel Laser and shapes it into a cutting light blade attached to his bellybutton.
- Can't Stop Twinkling: Supernova: After charging his Navel Laser for 5 seconds, Yuga can unleash a much more powerful laser that surpasses his normal beams. This move is a giant laser beam with a significantly wider diameter.
