Snatch「
Description[]
According to King, Snatch allows to "rob" objects, as well as the abilities of others, without making physical contact, as it is an intangible attack.[1] This Power can become extremely dangerous if used correctly, as it bypasses any obstacles in its path, which can include magical barriers, armor, or combat equipment.[2]
"Robbing" an object appears to have the effect of stopping its movement, and also allows Ban to grab and pull it; such a Power can be used to prevent the use of the object during combat.[3] A drawback is that if the weapons themselves become unusable, attacks that do not require movement are not limited.
Ban is also able to rob an opponent's physical energy, namely their strength, speed, and endurance, and add it to his own.[4] When this occurs at Ban's maximum potential, Melascula comments that his physical level roughly surpasses Galand's. The amount of physical power Ban can "rob" is limited, otherwise the backlash will eventually exhaust him to the point where he can no longer move.[5]
Despite the advantages that Snatch gives him, Ban can easily be countered by those who possess a physical level beyond what he can "rob". Ban also needs to know where something is located in order to take it, as shown in the fight against Melascula where Ban attempts to rip out her heart.
After spending 60 years in Purgatory unsuccessfully trying to "rob" the strenght of the Demon King, who had used The Ruler to reverse the effects of his Snatch, Ban begins to feel the sensation of "being robbed" instead of "rob" himself, and apparently becomes able to "have his own physical energy rob" as well as his life energy, to heal or strengthen others. With his Immortality, Ban normally runs no risk of depleting his own life energy.[6] However, after having his life energy "robbed" by Elaine to resurrect, Ban is forced to "share" his Immortality with her and can no longer have his life energy "robbed" from him infinitely.
Techniques[]
- Physical Hunt「
身体狩り , Fijikaru Hanto; lit. "Body Hunting"」: Ban temporarily "robs" all of the opponent's physical abilities, such as strength and speed, and then adds them to his own.[7]- Hunter Fest「
狩りの祭典 , Hantā Fesu; lit. "Hunting Festival"」: Ban "robs" the Physical Energy of everyone around him within a radius of several hundred feet around him. However, as noted by Melascula, there is a limit to how much Physical Energy Ban can "rob" from a single opponent, as seen in his fight against Galan. Once the limit is reached, Ban is unable to deprive the opponent of any more physical energy, as it puts his own physical health at risk.[8] After reaching his limit, Ban becomes so tired that he can no longer walk. - Gift「
贈与 , Gifuto; lit. "Donation"」: Ban has his own life energy and strength "robbed" from someone else. Since this requires him to "share" his Immortality, the limit of life energy he can have "robbed" is still uncertain.[9]
- Hunter Fest「
- Fox Hunt「
獲物狩り , Fokkusu Hanto; lit. "Prey Hunting"」: Ban uses a weapon, or not, to "rob" an object with extreme precision, seemingly bypassing any obstacle.[10]- Crazy Hunt「
乱獲 , Kureijī Hanto; lit. "Overfishing"」: Ban "robs" vital organs from multiple opponents simultaneously.[11]
- Crazy Hunt「
- Banishing Kill「バニシング・キル, Banishingu Kiru」: Ban gains momentum over a distance, then propels himself in a whirlwind to instantly deliver a near-fatal attack to the opponent, as he is propelled in front of them.[12]
- Zero Sign「
絶気配 , Zero Sain; lit. "Death Sign"」: Ban becomes virtually undetectable, perhaps by "robbing" the opponent's perception of him, allowing him to easily slip past the opponent unnoticed. Even Monspeet who was able to sense the gazes of several people through a crystal ball from hundreds of miles away, could not sense Ban's presence.[15] When Lancelot asks to learn this technique to hide his already imposing magical aura, Ban explains to him that beyond worrying about the five senses of the adversary, he must learn to silence all of his emotions, and especially the desire to kill and the fear of being killed in turn.

Trivia[]
- The aspect of "robbing" physical objects and abilities conforms with Ban's title as the "Sin of Greed", being an inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value.
