Abilities[]
As a former Cross Paladin,[8] Tenma is an extremely powerful Exorcist and he is someone that even Cross Paladins tip their heads to.[9] Ten years ago during his Grand Cross Assessment Test, he was capable of surviving an encounter with Memmy, The Ferocious Beast of Memento Forest.[10]
Enhanced Strength: Tenma has incredible physical strength; he was capable of sending his former pupil, Yuda, flying a great distance with a single kick,[11] and the force behind his punches are strong enough to visibly injure the latter.[12]
Enhanced Speed: Tenma is extremely fast; he was able to instantly appear next to Yuda without the latter noticing until he was actually next to him.[13]
Enhanced Durability: Tenma is an incredibly resilient man; he received only minor injuries from multiple devil-enhanced attacks from Yuda.[14]
