Nube is a powerful exorcist. He uses other spiritual artifacts for his battles. The Sutra Book of the White-Robed Goddess (白衣観音経 Byaku E Kanon Kyou), a white paper-like sutra, is used by he to surround and seal certain yōkai phenomenon to either hold them down or exorcize them without the need of the Oni no Te. He also possesses a crystal ball which can make certain spirits and phenomenon visible to the human eye, and a set of prayer beads he can attack with or use as part of his summonings.

He also eventually creates his own kudagitsune, a product of another kudagitsune he borrows from itako-girl Izuna and his Oni no Te, and has mastered several spiritual techniques such as the "Youshin no jutsu, 陽神の術" (a technique where he can create a separate spiritual body that moves about by itself whenever he is asleep or meditating), and the separation of his physical body and spirit in order to transcend into other realms.

He exudes powerful mental powers when trying to protect his children, which can be translated into spiritual abilities., and he will demonstrate remarkable survival and resilience.

Nueno's most powerful tool, Oni no Te

He is trained as an exorcist to have many means of facing his yōkai or ghosts encounters. The most powerful of these tools, though, is the "Oni no Te (鬼の手, Hand of Demon)", the result of a battle with a powerful oni from hell, leaving him forced to seal its power within the stump where his left hand should be.

Nube is unsealing Oni no Te on anime

This grotesque appendage, usually sealed within a black glove on his left hand, allows him to use his own spiritual energies combined with the powers of the oni both to attack evil opponents and for other means, such as communicating with other yōkai or freeing spirits. While he typically is able to control the power, he is usually only able to use a fraction of its true powers and abilities, for the oni is so powerful and hard to control it. The oni is actually being held by Minako, who died being consumed by the oni when trying to save young Nube. She was a powerful exorcist and the reason Nube wanted to become a teacher.

In the sequel, Jigoku Sensei Nube Neo, due to Bakkii and Minki going back to the hell, Nube lost his ability to uses Oni no Te. Nube meets a yōkai who lives in a mountain, Daitengu, as his master in order to regain Oni no Te without having Baki. After Nube completed his training, not only he regain Oni no Te ability, but also received a new power, namely "Oni no Te Neo" (鬼の手Neo). Unlike the original Oni no Te, Oni no Te Neo uses his spiritual energy and releases the power like a blaster, which causes massive damage against both yōkai and the mortals, but it will costs almost all of his energy after he used it.

Story Events[]

Five years ago, Nube saved Yukime from a hunter who feared the legend of Yuki-onna. Also, he saved Kyoko in a skiing accident.
