Powers and Abilities
Lugh as stated by his master Ogata is either the strongest or second strongest disciple in YOMI. Lugh has been shown to defeat other high class disciples such as Siegfried and Thor with ease. Lugh has had training from Ogata Isshinsai in his personal style of Ancient Martial Arts and his specialization is locks, which gave him the nickname submission man. Lugh is blind and is strong because of his handicap. He can sense the Ki being released from muscles and has learned to predict where attacks will come from based on his opponents muscle movement. Lugh’s hearing is superhuman and he has admitted he can hear sound from one kilometer away.
Beyond his fighting Lugh is an intelligent and perceptive combatant who can get inside his opponents head. Lugh can psychological manipulate his foes often making them lose their cool in a fight. Siegfried and Niijima have both commented on this. Lugh is able to dicern his opponents fighting style and how best to counter it. Lugh can even copy or intergrate his opponents moves into his own ahown after he copied Takeda’s Warp Punch as his Utsusemi Kyokushi technique.
Lugh’s greatest talent and what makes him so strong in YOMI is his level of Ki. Lugh has the highest level of Ki and even though he cannot control it yet, if he did he would be the closest to master level according to Ogata. Lugh ki is strong enough that when Miu Furinji felt it she instantly assumed a defensive stance, Takeda lost his cool and began to fight wildy, even Shigure (a grnad master class fighter) went to the Shinpaku Alliance’s aid since she thought Lugh was a danger to all the disciples present.
