≪THE KRAKEN (THE RULER OF THE SEA)≫
When Kuuma fuses with Kraken (Karama), a magical beast, the ruler of the sea, and gains the extraordinary power of the squid. Kuuma can transform into a Kraken (Armor mode), a legendary sea monster of giant proportions that normally lives at great depths but has been sighted at the surface and has reportedly attacked ships. Regardless of the form, and the power he received from Karama (The Kraken) he can manipulate water as his spirit energy freely by releasing/spewing it to the tubes of his body giving him a boost of speed and moving fast when he is in the water.
Another feat of the Kraken's power is to regenerate tentacles in different parts of his body, from the back or his hands. Because of this tentacles are capable of regenerating faster when they cut. The squids have acetylcholine in their body, a chemical that helps relax the nerves of the body, and the squid can emit a light called luminescence their body, but this effect is much stronger and so bright it can blind the opponent in a split second. One factor of the squid is also rich in taurine, which helps in accelerating recovery from fatigue.
A Kraken power of also given a raw power of strength (Herculean Strength) that can destroy the opponent in one single punch, because of this Kuuma can withstand any injury in the battle because of the armor he wears when he transforms from human to Squid. As a squid, he can manipulate ink from liquid and gaseous (smoke screen) forms. Also, part of being animals changing their color called metachrosis, the downside after being transformed and using Kraken armor, Kuuma's body became aroused.
