Immense Reiatsu: Eldridge possesses an immense amount of Reiastu. It is intense enough to strike fear into those possessing a high amount, slowing them down, and completely paralyze those possessing only an average amount if he wills it. When he exerts his Reiatsu it can cause a shockwave strong enough to push back weaker individuals. He demonstrates great reserves of energy, capable of delivering multiple high level, high Reiatsu consuming techniques before tiring.
Genius Intellect: Arguably, the most fearsome trait of Eldridge Kumori is his tremendous intellect. He is well-versed in the history and proceedings of the world and is privy to knowledge unknown to many, such as secret methods. He easily grabs the concepts of subjects completely new to him and masters them quickly. Even in the most complex and dangerous of situations Eldridge can rely on his calculating intellect to figure out the best course of action. His assessment of a situation is swift, ad-hoc and accurate, allowing him to deduce the nature of other people’s abilities and countering them, often only requiring a few instances of observation.
Gifted Manipulator: Eldridge has shown himself to be a cunning man. He is able to deceive and manipulate others around him in different ways for a variety of purposes. He has a talent for analyzing and observing people in his presence, allowing him to understand a person's pattern of thinking and better manipulate them. His plans for others often include gentle hints, true or false, to get people to do what he wants. He is also a good provocateur, very adept at finding people’s mental weak spots and then provoking them with petty discussions and word plays. Despite this he is capable to hide his true demeanor, hiding the truth about him from other people.
Master Strategist & Tactician: With his vast experience as a commander and a warrior, Eldridge is a man of great tactical acumen. His tactical insight is proven by his preparations for the battle; which includes setting traps or leadings his enemies along complex battle plans. He can seamlessly adjust to new developments and make quick decisions accordingly. He understands the strengths, weaknesses and mannerisms of his enemies and uses them to his advantage. His sense of stratagem goes unopposed when he expertly moves large hosts onto the battlefield. Like this Eldridge can prepare victory many steps in advance and even incorporate his enemies and their plans into his grand scheme. Regardless of his own powers or those of others, Eldridge always remains a tactically cautious.
Keen Scientist: Eldridge is a gifted inventor and scientist, having created a number of clever devices and techniques to aid him in battle or otherwise. His intellect in this field is evident, as he is able to create and invent devices on her own and further sophisticated research. He is an asset to any development bureau as his work can help accomplish the developmental goals. He knows chemistry, being able to work with chemical formulas and combined them to make new ones. He can also repair advanced machines, sometimes needing to improvise on materials.
Immense Strength: He is strong enough to stop even powerful attacks, when the opponent is weakened even stopping their releases with a single hand and likely end the fight with a single swing. Likewise he can also inflict tremendous damage with his bare hands, even to releases of weaker opponents. His strength is described as being ‘scary’, a fearsome weapon in its own right which can dictate the conditions of battle. He can fend of huge weapons with only one hand and easily cleave highly durable armor with a single strike.
Immense Speed: Eldridge is deceptively fast in combat, even when just leaping. His legs can propel him fast enough to surprise even fast opponents. He can instantly close huge gaps relying on his innate speed alone, appearing to disappear from sight completely. He is fast enough to react to most surprise attacks and masterfully deliver a counter to them. In battle, he can strike with incredible speed in rapid succession, making it highly difficult for his opponents to find an opening and counterattack.
Immense Endurance: Eldridge seems to be tirelessly energetic in combat. No amount of physical maneuver can tire him or slow him down. Likewise he can also ignore heavy injury to his body and is generally hard to slow down. Even when being riddled with otherwise incapacitating wounds, Eldridge can just shrug it off and continue fighting without any sign of being hindered.
Immense Durability: Eldridge's body is incredibly durable and resistant to damage. He can take tremendously heavy blows and stand up undaunted afterward without significant consequences to his body. Even when being attacked with powerful weapons it requires great power behind their strikes to wound him.
Advanced Growth: As a fast learner Eldridge is able to grasp the basic control of advanced techniques in days where it would take other gifted Shinigami months. As such, he is able to reach the level of development required for Bankai at a much faster rate than the norm. With this being the case, he also tends to have a natural kind of affinity to be able to communicate with his Zanpakutō. Eldridge shows an uncanny level of adaption when fighting opponents he has fought before, provided that they are of the same level of power.
Hohou Master: Eldridge is highly proficient in evasion in close quarters, as well as from a distance, thus making hitting him almost impossible for all but the most advanced combatant. He moves so fast that opponents commonly do not know of his movements until after he has made them, and is skilled enough in his movements to evade at high speeds, even when being attacked from behind.
Zanjutsu Master: His skill with his sword has been honed to a masterful level, letting Eldridge strike multiple times with changes of attack type (from slash to pierce) without any difficulty. His skills and immense might with his sword allow him to always fight with one hand free, only using both hands when facing opponents he feels will beat him otherwise, which is an unlikely occurrence in its own right. He would have no problem fighting two masters simultaneously, and he might still come out on top.
Kidou Master: Eldridge knows every spell in the books, since he co-authored a lot of them himself. Kido holds no secrets to him and he can masterfully cast every spell using only a name to do so. Up to #89 he can also make the spells appear from thin air, all the while still retaining great potential. He can manipulate Kido energy in such a way that powerful attacks are stopped on his body without there seemingly being a cause which stopped them, or instantly produce tremendous aimed explosions. The speed by which he can string up spells makes one wonder if it weren't two or three masters, who were hiding somewhere, doing most of the work.

- Utsusemi (空蝉, Cicada, referencing their molting): Allows for a movement at great speed leaving an after-image behind. The after-image may even appear to have taken damage. One can also exit a haori in one fluid move, leaving it behind in the air.
- Bunshin (分身, Alter Ego): A Shunpo technique where the user shunpoes from one place to another in rapid succession without halting. Multiple after-images might be created like this, all of them translucent and sharing the user's voice and Reiatsu pattern. Though these speed-clones cannot attack or suffer attacks like Utsusemi can, they do a better at hiding the user's true position and are far greater in number.

- Hiraishin (飛雷神, Flying Thunder God): Hiraishin is a Kidou spell, which allows the users to transport themselves to a given marked location instantaneously. To activate this spell, the user places a special seal or "technique formula" to mark an intended destination. After this is done, they can at will enter a dimensional void that instantaneously transports them to anywhere near to the location of the seal (within a one meter diameter). The mark can be applied to almost any area through brief physical contact, including an opponent or other surrounding feature. Because this spell is able to affect anything that is in contact with the user or somehow connected to their spiritual pressure, they can also use this spell to teleport other objects or people, though the size of the object dictates the amount of reiatsu required. As Eldridge also noted, the marking formula never disappears from a marked target unless he wants it to disappear. Hiraishin is a unique spell, because unlike any of its other counterparts, its spiritual pressure usage is directly proportional to the size of what's being teleported and indirectly proportional to the user's familiarity with the shape of the target, not to how far it's teleported. Unlike Shunpo, Hiraishin is faster and untraceable because of the fact that there is no movement involved, but instead teleportation.
- Hiraishin: Goshun Mawashi (飛雷神・互瞬回し, Flying Thunder God: Mutually Instantaneous Revolving): If a person is marked with the spell or given the reiatsu of the user of the technique, this grants them the ability to switch their positions at any point in time during a battle.
- Hiraishin: Ni no Dan (飛雷神・ニの段, Flying Thunder God: Second Step):The user throws his weapon with Flying Thunder God mark at his opponent. Then he teleports to it, attacking his enemy from his back or blindside.
- Hiraishin: Rasen Senkou Chou Rinbukou Sanshiki (飛雷神・螺旋閃光超輪舞吼・参式 , Flying Thunder God: Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three): This technique employs the use of Flying Thunder God spell with Eldridge's Air Manipulation. Eldridge throws several Flying Thunder God Kunai around the enemy, and teleports to them simultaneously. After teleporting to each Kunai, Eldridge uses Air Manipulation to repel the enemies with great force and hit them from different angles. It is a technique that was initially developed to create an opening for an attack. However, with the usage of the Air Manipulation it was shown to be enough to defeat an entire platoon of Shinigami.
- Hiraishin: Jikuu Shippuu Senkou Ren no Dan: Zero Shiki (飛雷神・時空疾風閃光連の段・零式, Flying Thunder God: Space–Time Hurricane Flash Sequential Steps: Style Zero): Eldridge sends all six of his Flying Thunder God kunai at his opponent, and then teleports to each of the kunai as they fly near his opponent. After slashing his target several times with his sword, Eldridge ends the combo with an energy blast, that either being a Hadou spell or his own technique, Kazekiri.
- Hiraishin: Dourai (飛雷神・導雷, Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder): The Guiding Thunder is a space-time barrier spell, based on it's parent spell; Hiraishin. The user creates a transparent barrier of various sizes. This barrier spell incorporates the use of the Flying Thunder God formula to erect a barrier space capable of warping away anything which comes in contact with it. Once erected, the barrier has proven powerful enough to warp away destructive techniques. Once warped, the subject of the spell can be directed to another location marked by the formula.
- Shin: Kokuukai Koutan (神・虚空界降誕, literally meaning "God: Nativity of a Void World"): Placing his right arm is above the left while making his right palm face down and left palm face up, Eldridge makes an “X” sign. Then he releases his spiritual pressure to its maximum capacity in a way that it creates great spiraling threads of energy, which are centered on his location. They seem to enclose him, but are actually amassed at a focused point (i.e. the palm of the hand). Eldridge turns this into an energy ball that is many times greater than a normal person in size. This spell combines vast amounts of energy by using Eldridge’s entire reiatsu. The great size of the attack makes it harder to avoid. The sphere is also incredibly dense, but despite how heavy it is, it travels rapidly once fired, enough to hit a target in only a few moments. This makes it quite fast once it is thrown. It is also very destructive, able to create an explosion that is visible from far away. The spell results in a tremendous explosion upon impact, and is also very destructive. It sends shock-waves in all directions that are visible from far away.
Hollowfication
Hollow Mask: Eldridge's Hollow mask manifests as a white mask with a purple lightning symbol over the right eye. It also has a thin red slit across the mouth. Eldridge can hold his mask for a total of 26 turns.
Hollow Mask: Eldridge's Hollow mask manifests as a white mask with a purple lightning symbol over the right eye. It also has a thin red slit across the mouth. Eldridge can hold his mask for a total of 26 turns.
Power Augmentation: While Eldridge is wearing the mask, his Hollow powers supplement his Shinigami powers, giving him a strong increase in Reiatsu which is enough to surpass most Shikai on its own. Coupled with his own Reiatsu he becomes a very formidable foe to his peers while relying on his Hollow powers alone.
- Hyperspeed Combat: His Hollow powers drastically increases his combat speed. This enhancement unlike that of Shunpo alone allows Eldridge to create dozens of speed clones to confuse his opponent when involved in ranged combat. In closer combat, Eldridge is able to move more quickly even around those who are more advanced at Shunpo than he is and potentially make a critical blow against them. Against someone of similar skill he will seem to gain more mastery over techniques and surpass them while the ability is actively being used. He can close massive gaps instantaneously and surprise even those with the most well-trained eyes. He is quick enough to evade and counter surprise attacks while surprising his attackers and his strikes are faster than most warriors can perceive, leaving very minuscule openings, if any at all.
- Cero: Eldridge can fire a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at a target. He can fire a standard Cero, taking the shape of a projectile or a beam. It requires considerable loading time, making it unwieldy in a direct confrontation. His Cero can deal heavy damage to anyone even when not completely loaded, capable of pulverizing large objects in the way. As an explosion however, it can deal greatly enhanced damage when suffered point blank..
- Kidō Augmentation: When masked Eldridge is able to cast Kidō at a much faster rate than normal. The speed increase of his casting is only over shadowed by the additional power that each of his spells gains. The combination of increased spell speed and power make him a deadly foe while using Kidō and his mask simultaneously. Kidō won't tire him as easily when masked, meaning more spells can be cast in a shorter amount of time. Wearing his mask doesn't change is general knowledge of Kidō, but instead allows him to use his previous knowledge of Kidō to ravage foes.
- Extended Duration: After having achieved domination of his Hollow, Eldridge has the ability to hold his Mask for an extended duration of time. This allows him to fight Masked for much longer amount of time than normally possible!
