Thunderbolt雷帝サンダーボルトSandāboruto; lit. "Thunder Emperor"」 is the power of the Holy Knight, Gilthunder.[1] It grants him the ability to generate and manipulate lightning.

Description[]

Gilthunder is highly skilled at utilizing Thunderbolt, using the power to greatly increase his physical capabilities and allow him to move at extraordinary speeds.[2]

The power is remarkably versatile and can be used in a number of ways, allowing him to perform such feats as creating rings of lightning that bind and paralyze his opponents[3] or imbuing his sword with lightning and stabbing it into the ground to seal off an underground water source.[4][5] By imbuing a weapon with lightning, its destructive potential vastly increases.[6] In addition to being able to channel lightning through weaponry, he can discharge large amounts of it from his body.[7]

Thunderbolt also grants the user a degree of control over the weather, allowing them to call forth large thunderstorms.[8][9]

Techniques[]

  • Raitei no Shukusei雷帝らいていしゅくせいRaitei no Shukusei; lit. "Purge of the Thunder Emperor"」: Gilthunder slashes his sword through the air in a specific sequence before pressing his hand to the blade. The target is then engulfed by a huge burst of lightning.[10]
  • Raiju no Tsuiso雷獣らいじゅう追走ついそうRaijū no Tsuisō; lit. "Chase of the Lightning Beast"」: Three lightning bolts in the form of rabid beasts are summoned from the sky to strike down an opponent.[11] The attack is delayed, allowing each lightning bolt to strike in succession from multiple directions.[12]
  • Raitei no Tettsui雷帝らいてい鉄槌てっついRaitei no Tettsui; lit. "Hammer of the Thunder Emperor"」: By thrusting his sword or pointing his fingers toward his opponent, Gilthunder can evoke a colossal lightning bolt to strike the ground with tremendous force.[13][14]
  • Raimeizan雷鳴斬らいめいざんRaimeizan; lit. "Thunder Slash"」: While engulfed in lightning, Gilthunder lunges at his opponent with extreme speed and delivers a devastating strike with his sword.[15]
  • Raitei no Tsurugi雷帝らいていつるぎRaitei no Tsurugi; lit. "Sword of the Thunder Emperor"」: Gilthunder discharges lightning from his body and concentrates the amassed energy into his sword.[16] The effects of this technique were never shown.

  • Raitei no Jugai雷帝らいていじゅうがいRaitei no Jūgai; lit. "Heavy Armor of the Thunder Emperor"」: As Gilthunder channels lightning into his weapon, he uses the surplus power coming off of it to cover his entire body in lightning while also creating a lightning shield with his free hand. The lightning surrounding his body acts like offensive armour, effectively eliminating Gilthunder's blind spots.[18]
