Ryu performing the Hadoken technique

Background

Energy Manipulation is the ability to manipulate energy. This results in different capabilities, allowing the use of energy for various purposes, including attack, defense or performance enhancement. Energy Manipulation Includes manipulation of internal and external energies.

Applications

Energy Projection

Energy Projection is a subset of Energy Manipulation in which the user is able to emit concentrated bursts of energy, most frequently for offensive purposes. The power and flexibility of this ability varies between media, ranging from simple destructive blasts to far more complex usages. Normally the beams are powerfully concentrated blasts of energy that can cause great harm to an opponent hit by it. The beams can also have other abilities along with it, a common on being disentergration.

Users

Chi Manipulation

Chi Manipulation is the ability to shape and manipulate the life energy that exists in all living things, referred to as Chi (also Ki or Qi depending the place). This energy is a pervades through all that is considered living and is often portrayed as being relative to martial arts aura. In different cases, the user can produce chi by channeling the energy through the physical body or by using the natural energy of the planet or cosmos.

Possible Uses

  • Energy Manipulation/Projection: Often times, users are capable of channeling their chi in the form of energy projection or even being able to mold that energy in the way they desire
  • Enhanced Senses (Chi Sensing): Users can often detect other entities through the emanation of their Ki, whether it be across long distances or for some, on a global to cosmic scale.
  • Chi Masking: In addition, some works have Chi Manipulators who are able to suppress the Chi that naturally flows off their bodies to render themselves virtually invisible to Chi Sensing techniques.
  • Chi Emission/Aura: Some users of Chi can emit their Chi in the form of auras or attacks. Some medias have shown one can do things like create Chi constructs, projectile Ki in an elemental manner or even emit it in a magical manner.

Limitations

  • Ki is usually in reserves, meaning that it can deplete if the user is not careful (Depends on media)
  • One might need intense training and concentration to use their Chi, or even use it to it's max potential
  • For those who can sense Chi, it is generally easier to sense those who have larger amounts. Thus becoming a more powerful Chi manipulator may also make you a bigger and easier to find target.

Users

Cosmic Energy Manipulation

Cosmic Energy Manipulation is the ability to create, shape or manipulate cosmic energy that's drawn from stars, planets, galaxies, and even the entire universe. This ability can extend to allow them to manipulate other forms of energy within the universe as they are essentially controlling energy on a cosmic scale.

Dark Energy Manipulation

Dark Energy Manipulation is the ability to create, shape or manipulate dark energy, a hypothetical energy that permeates space, similar to dark matter, and makes up for about 68.3% of the universe. Users of this ability may even be able to control Black Holes as black holes are a potential source of dark energy. One would have universal control with Dark Energy Manipulation as dark energy is believed to be the reason for the universes constant expansion.

Kinetic Energy Manipulation

Kinetic Energy Manipulation is the ability to create, shape or manipulate kinetic energy, the energy possessed by any moving object. As kinetic energy is gained through the acceleration of an object, users of this ability can effectively control how strong or weak attacks are as they are controlling the acceleration and mass of the attack. This allows users to effectively increase the energy of their own attacks or decrease the energy of an enemies attack depending on their full control over it. They can also do things like transfer kinetic energy from one to another, increasing the power of their attacks more. This can even reach into Velocity Manipulation as they can control one's motion altogether, making them unable to move.
