Abilities
Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Due to Tsukune's kindhearted and rather naive nature, he initially possesses no combat skills at all. After gaining the Holy Lock he would rely solely on the temporary burst of vampiric strength and simple attacks to win his early fights. Though well-trained and experienced fighters like Hokuto Kaneshiro, the Phantom Thief, and Akua Shuzen are able to easily outmaneuver him while noting that his movements are amateurish and like a wild animal/beast due to his initial lack of training and lack of fighting experience. After his training with Moka and Ruby, Tsukune drastically improved his hand-to-hand combat skills to the point of defeating several armed gangsters in the human world without assistance or much effort. After training with Touhou Fuhai, Tsukune proved capable enough in his combat skill alone to compete with Kuyō and fight on the same level as Akua Shuzen for some time before needing Moka's help as he noted that if Moka wasn't fighting with him then he would have been killed several times over by Akua. Later on, during his duel with Gyokuro, Tsukune exhibited greater hand-to-hand combat skills and was able to overwhelm Gyokuro in a one on one fight. During his sparring match with Issa Shuzen, Tsukune managed to last against the elder vampire for 30 seconds which Moka counted as an impressive feat for Tsukune before being ultimately defeated.
Indomitable Will: He is virtually unstoppable in his drive towards any given goal, such as saving Moka or any of his friends, it doesn't matter if it will cost his life or not. He will go on regardless of any danger, even when he faces great physical and emotional pain he will refuse to surrender no matter how much the odds are against him, and he will push himself past any limitation he might have. By his own free will, Tsukune sacrifices his humanity and becomes a true vampire due to his love for Moka.
Negotiator: Tsukune has shown numerous times to be a skilled negotiator, being able to sway others into rethinking their actions. This combined with his kind heart and charisma makes him the perfect candidate to replace Mikogami as Yokai Academy's headmaster.
Youjutsu Expert: Tsukune originally relied on yōki-enhanced physical blows should he ever needed to fight himself in regards to using his vampire powers. After Tsukune had his body reconstructed by Touhou Fuhai in order to use Yōkai techniques, he began an intense training regimen under Fuhai to control and utilize his new power. He can now use yōki attacks of much greater power than before, rather than simply using yōki-augmented punches and kicks. Tsukune even became capable of performing Youjutsu, as shown when he uses what appears to be a "barrier" based attack in order to escape from the meeting of the Fairy Tale divisions listening to Gyokuro Shuzen. His knowledge of Youjutsu is also noted, having been trained by Touhou Fuhai in methods to counter the Jigen-Tou.
