Thunderbolt

is the power of the Holy Knight, Gilthunder. It grants him the ability to generate and manipulate lightning.

Description
Gilthunder is highly skilled at utilizing Thunderbolt, using the power to greatly increase his physical capabilities and allow him to move at extraordinary speeds.

The power is remarkably versatile and can be used in a number of ways, allowing him to perform such feats as creating rings of lightning that bind and paralyze his opponents or imbuing his sword with lightning and stabbing it into the ground to seal off an underground water source. By imbuing a weapon with lightning, its destructive potential vastly increases. In addition to being able to channel lightning through weaponry, he can discharge large amounts of it from his body.

Thunderbolt also grants the user a degree of control over the weather, allowing them to call forth large thunderstorms.

Techniques

 * Gilthunder slashes his sword through the air in a specific sequence before pressing his hand to the blade. The target is then engulfed by a huge burst of lightning.
 * Three lightning bolts in the form of rabid beasts are summoned from the sky to strike down an opponent. The attack is delayed, allowing each lightning bolt to strike in succession from multiple directions.
 * By thrusting his sword or pointing his fingers toward his opponent, Gilthunder can evoke a colossal lightning bolt to strike the ground with tremendous force.
 * While engulfed in lightning, Gilthunder lunges at his opponent with extreme speed and delivers a devastating strike with his sword.
 * Gilthunder discharges lightning from his body and concentrates the amassed energy into his sword. The effects of this technique were never shown.
 * As Gilthunder channels lightning into his weapon, he uses the surplus power coming off of it to cover his entire body in lightning while also creating a lightning shield with his free hand. The lightning surrounding his body acts like offensive armour, effectively eliminating Gilthunder's blind spots.
 * Gilthunder discharges the electricity surrounding his body, engulfing his attacker in a ferocious burst of lightning.
 * Gilthunder uses electricity to enhance his body and allow him to move at lightning fast speed.

Combined Techniques

 * An enormous and devastatingly powerful black tornado is created. The attack is brought about by the union of Gilthunder's Purge of the Thunder Emperor technique and Howzer's Rising Tornado technique.
 * A triple combined attack in which Griamore traps the opponent in a six-walled cage while Howzer and Gilthunder unleash an electric tornado on them.
 * Howzer's Crazy Wind and Gilthunder's Raitei no Tettsui combines causing the lightning to be dispersed by the rippling wind, thus increasing its range of effect.

Trivia

 * Gilthunder's ability, Thunderbolt, is very similar to his father's ability, Great Thunder, although the latter seems to be more powerful.
