| ==Power of the Verse==
| |
| '''Toilet-Bound Hanako Kun''' as a series, is known for their wide range of powerful and potent abilities because of strong supernaturals such as the 7 Wonders of the school, old apparitions that have existed for a long time, Exorcists which despell evil supernaturals, and the general public, which can shape reality with rumors and supernatural items. Weak supernatruals, such as Mokke, are around '''10-C''' in their base form but are able to [https://youtu.be/P9PDsaPqeAY?t=452 change their size when in danger] and [https://youtu.be/P9PDsaPqeAY?t=204 kill people and super naturals alike. They are able to steal your items with out you knowing, even when the person has enhanced senses]. They can also wither your soul away with an illness. Middle tier supernaturals are a threat to humans and unexperienced Exorcists. They can range from '''9-B''' to '''7-B''' from being able to affect an entire town with their power and have everyone fall under their abilities. The Confession Tree, which is a middle tier supernatrual, [https://youtu.be/34RdB0ygd_g?t=453 was able to affect the entire town with a charm spell, making everyone fall in love with random people]. Many of the middle tier supernaturals are able to do things like [https://youtu.be/34RdB0ygd_g?t=629 affect the weather, change reality around them, affect people with spells such as charm], [https://imgur.com/a/r6X1yT2 sleep, mind control,] and various others. High tier supernaturals are [https://imgur.com/a/ZK6cKIs unbound from the laws of the world and can act freely. They are usally spirits that have existed for thousands or millions of years on both the Near Shore and the Far Shore. These supernaturals are extremely powerful and are able to affect the laws of reality, resist things like getting their concepts erased,] [https://imgur.com/a/P5ZUFhj they are one of the only types of supernaturals that are able to not have rumors or follow them. Some of these supernaturals don't exist in any of the two worlds as they don't have rumors and are not known.] These supernaturals tend to be around '''6-A''' due to their abilities being able to affect the entierty of Japan. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inari_%C5%8Ckami Yako, in her pre-School Wonder state, exists as an Inari staute. Inari statutes are able to bless the entire country with good blessings for Tsuyu (The rain season of Japan).] Higher level supernaturals should scale to Yako in this form.
| |
|
| |
| Lastly, the School's 7 Wonders are the most powerful supernatural characters in the verse thus far. [https://imgur.com/a/G22na2q They are described as the pillars of the human world and the supernatural told.] While outside of their Boundaries, their tiers vary from '''10-C''' to '''9-B''' as they are capable of destroying trees and breaking walls causally. They are able to use abilites such as sealing, soul manipulation, conceptual manipualtion, use time manipulation that works on '''Extra-Temporal''' characters, and other abilities while outside of their boundaries. [https://youtu.be/P9PDsaPqeAY?t=1104 Hanako was able to seal Kou's weapon, which is an ancient exorcist tool that nullifies every ability from supernaturals. Hanako took away it's power by sealing it.] While inside of their boundaries, they become massively stronger in tier and their abilities become far more potent. [https://imgur.com/a/G22na2q In their boundaries, they are all '''4-A''' and scale to each other as they are have the highest amount of spirit energy in the school.] They can do things like copying the entire cosmology inside of their boundaries at will, completely ignore the laws of reality, ignore and restrict abilities of other characters, and more. Each supernatural, including the fodder spirits have '''Extra-Temporal''' speeds and have some degree of reality warping and soul manipulation.

| ==Terms==
| |
| * '''Rumors''':Rumors shape reality in the universe. Everyone in the verse is able to use or manipulate rumors, even normal people. Most supernaturals rely on them in order to exist in the human world and they can't normally go agaisnt them. They can manipulate the truth of the world and can rewrite history itself.
| |
|
| |
| * '''Supernaturals''':Supernaturals and ghosts are both used interchangeably and share many traits with each other. In other words, ghosts can also be referred to be a type of supernatural. Both need rumors in order to exist on the Near Shore, and can either originate from the Far Shore themselves or created out of someone's ideals in special cases.
| |
|
| |
| Ghosts and supernaturals can be forcibly severed from their tie on the Near Shore after a sacrifice is offered.
| |
|
| |
| Unlike ghosts, they can show themselves at will to normal humans. Despite being supernaturals themselves, Tsuchigomori can disguise himself as a teacher by hiding his spider-like appendages and long ears, in addition to Yako being seen by Misaki in her human-like and fox appearances (including his students catching glimpses of her and assuming the courtyard must be haunted). They are able to be touched and can interact with ghosts and humans. They are presumably able to age unlike ghosts, as signified by Tsuchigomori's older appearance and Yako's growth from being a child to her current adult like look.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Boundaries''':Boundaries 境界 (''Kyōkai''<sup>'''?'''</sup>) are the seas that connect the Near Shore with the Far Shore. They can be accessed in various ways. In said ''Boundaries'', life and death don't exist so nothing can be brought to life, nor can anything die in a boundary
| |
|
| |
| They were introduced in Chapter 4, when Kou described his older brother telling him about these boundaries that connect both shores.
| |
|
| |
| There is a stretch of water running between deserted buildings and telephone poles, and the sun can be seen descending in the horizon. Kou also mentions how forgotten objects such as used dolls, broken television boxes, and other vintage articles are discarded and have drifted to piles.

| |
|
| |
| There are two types of Boundaries. A normal boundary is a boundary that has no owner and is filled with random supernaturals. They hold no significant purpose in the verse and can vary in size. We can see one of these when Hanako, Nene, Kou, and Yako went to the Star Festival. The festival was located in a boundary that had no owner.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The second type of boundary is one owned by a School Wonder. These Boudaries are the personal domain of the School Wonder who owns it and is where their Yorishiro resides. These boundaries can not be destroyed unless the yorishiro is destroyed and they don't get erased forever as they comeback right after it's destroyed.
