Possible Negator Powers

The Union

• Top: He's shown to have a super speed power that he has trouble turning off stopping. Unstoppable would make sense with those abilities, and his name could be a pun like Void and Rip's (Uns-Top-pable).
  • Confirmed as of chapter 32.
• Isshin: He's shown to be able tank powerful attacks with no harm, such as Andy's finger bullet which previously blew straight through Void's head. It's possible Isshin is Unbreakable, and is using it on his armor to make himself extremely durable. We know that the Unbreakable Negator exists because they made Andy's katana, and since Andy stole said katana from the scarred Union hunter in chapter 1, and both the katana and Shen's Nyoi-Kinko Staff have the kanji for Unbreakable on them, it's very likely that Unbreakable is on the Union's staff. His Japanese aesthetic and the kanji signature on unbreakable items also match up.
  • All but explicitly confirmed in the Volume 3 extras, where one page has Isshin confirm that he created the Unbreakable Katana himself, which, as previously mentioned, was Unbreakable's doing.
  • Fully confirmed in chapter 31.
• Phil: Phil's abilities outside of his artifacts have yet to be reveled, though Victor suggests he has a risk avoidance ability. It's possible Phil is Unfeel, which would explain his status as The Stoic since he is never shown emoting even during battle, which would make sense if his ability negated feelings. Also, his name would be a pun as Phil sounds like feel.
  • Confirmed in chapter 35.
• Billy: Billy is blind, yet is able to aim his gun and hit his targets just fine, even when not facing toward them. Possible powers include:
  • Unmiss. His power could possibly be one that negates his own ability to miss things when he aims.
    • Jossed.
  • Unbelievable. Billy's firing ability would be considered Unbelievable by most people due to his blindness, so it's possible his power allows him to do things that others would consider impossible. Also, his name would be a pun (Un-Billy-vable).
    • Confirmed as of chapter 32, though later chapters imply it may be more complicated than that.
• Nico: Little about Nico's potential power is known, however it could be related to his intelligence. Unforget is possible, as his last name, Vorgeil, (フォーゲイル / Foogeiru) is likely a play on the German last name Vogel (フォーゲル) and the word "forget." Considering his job as the Union's engineer and his obsession with collecting data, having a power that negates forgetfulness would make sense. In chapter 30, he's responsible for erasing Ryo's memories of Chikara when the latter joins the Union, which links Nico to memory manipulation of some kind as well.
  • Confirmed as Unforgettable in chapter 113.

Under

• Latla: Her power causes attacks aimed at or firing near her to miss, which Rip uses to avoid powerful attacks. Her power only works on attacks she can see coming however.
  • Unpredict. She can make things go differently from how she predicts they'll go. This is why Rip hit the bodyguards in a different place from where she guessed on her first appearance, why sneak attacks or curving projectiles aren't affected by her power, and why she carries a crystal ball around.
  • Unfuture. Similar to Unpredict, her power allows her to negate future events affecting her if she can see them coming. Her power seemingly only works on herself since she makes an effort to step in front of attacks coming for Rip, which she wouldn't have to do if she could just negate anything she could see coming, and the fact that Rip keeps her so close by supports that idea.
  • Unharm/Unharmed. Her power simply negates her own ability to be harmed, but only in regard to attacks she can see coming.
  • Unattack. Her power simply negates attacks she can see coming, plain and simple.
  • Revealed as Untrust in chapter 179, with the ability to make any predictions she makes completely untrustworthy. This seems to even subconsciously apply to thoughts that a projectile is sure to hit her.
• Creed: He's shown to be able to fire his gun without any visible ammo clips and can pull grenades from seemingly nowhere. He could be Unlimit/Unlimited, which would negate an object's limit as long as he's using it.
  • Creed's power is Undecrease, which works as predicted except he has to fully use up the item first.
• Feng: In a single attack, he's able to crack Tatiana's mech, which was built specifically to withstand the pressure of her barrier.
  • Unendure. Perhaps his power allows him to negate an objects natural endurance, making it weak and frail.
  • Unlie. A counterpart to Shen's Untruth, Unlie would negate any lie by making it true. The truth is that Tatiana's mech is very sturdy, so the lie is that it is very fragile. By negating that lie, it becomes true for him, so he could crack the mech with a single touch.
  • Unfeign. To feign is to "pretend to be affected by" something, and to be unfeign is to be genuine/slash sincere. Feng can make any attack that would normally be ineffective for whatever reason super effective instead, which is why he could bust Tatiana's mech. His name would also fit, since "Feng" sounds similar to "feign".
  • Unage. Chapter 50 reveals that Feng revived Rip by using an artifact to de-age him by 15 years. the side effect of the artifact is that the user will be aged by 10 times the amount of time manipulated, meaning he would have been aged by 150 years, which would have killed him, but is seen alive afterward, meaning he may be unable to age. Cracking Tatiana's mech may just be the result of an artifact, (as he has been stated to collect them) or simply a martial arts technique that he has perfected over the course of his long life.
    • Extra pages in Volume 8 confirm that this is the effect of his power, though its name is Unfade instead.
• "Negator 7": Unburn. His head looks like flames and he keeps failing to light his cigarette.
  • Confirmed in chapter 128.
• Tella: Unheard. Tella was a communications officer before joining under. Going with the theme of negators getting powers that ruin their lives, a communications officer losing his ability to be heard would effectively end his career. Especially if it happened right when he needed to relay important information. Additionally, he has only been shown to speak through the device attached to his head, which may imply that he can no longer talk normally.
  • Revealed to be Untell in chapter 147, negating any conscious attempts at communication. He was able to extend it to preventing anything from being transmitted through his body, even bullets.

Other Negators

• Anno Un: While not confirmed to be a negator themselves yet, it's very likely that they are the negator Unknown considering that is the Pen Name they use on the cover of their manga. Since nothing is known about them, it's possible that the ability is one that makes others forget any information about them and this is the reason why they have remained so mysterious.
  • Anno is confirmed to be Unknown.

Future Characters’ powers

• Unnegatable. To balance this out, it will be a compulsory self-inflicted type of negation, so they are immune to things like Unluck but can’t actively undo powers being used on others.
• Unlock. Allows the negator to prevent doors from locking and closing properly.
• Unsoul. When UMA Soul fought with Andy, he has said "You are this strong, while you are not even my vessel". So there must be Unsoul, possibly the strongest Negator.

Billy's Power

Billy is seemingly confirmed to be Unbelievable in chapter 31 when Tatiana claims as much, saying that she was the only person who he told. While Tatiana's description of Unbelievable (That it allows him to ricochet bullets into targets so long as he aims away from them) is accurate to what has been shown before, later chapters showcase that Billy can seemingly copy other negation abilities as well. This had led to many theories about the true nature of his ability.

• Unbelievable is Billy's ability, but he lied to Tatiana about what his power actually does. Unbelievable is indead the name of his ability, but it has nothing to do with the ricocheting bullets. Instead, it's true power is to copy other powers and the bullet ricocheting is another power that he copied in the past.
  • Unbelievable might also be able to do things as long as they're believed to be absolutely impossible by an onlooker. Since Negator powers are one-per-person, having a copy of that power would be impossible, so he can copy it.
• Billy lied entirely and is not Unbelievable at all. Billy completely lied about his power and it is something else entirely, one that allows him to copy other abilities. Unbelievable is just an ability he copied in the past and has used as a Union member. Popular names for this ability include Unfair (Since members of Under often use that word to describe how the world treats them), Unoriginal, and Unsecure.
  • Confirmed to be Unfair- he negates the fairness of having only one ability.
• Billy is Unbelievable and his power works exactly like Tatiana claims it does. Billy never lied and actually is Unbelievable, and his ability to copy other powers is the result of an artifact of some kind, perhaps the spurs that are given focus at the start of chapter 31, the same chapter where his ability was first revealed.
  • The spurs are confirmed to be Union technology, but it could be a different artifact.

Other

Isshin's face is actually a helmet

Assuming Isshin's Unbreakable, they have to be an external-targeting Negator because they can use it on objects like the katana and Shen's staff. Since Isshin was able to take attacks to the face with no harm, it must be armor because they can't use Unbreakable on themself.

• Implied throughout chapters 31 through 34, where Nico and Top are trying to force the helmet off and seemingly pulling by the face at points, and fully confirmed in chapter 35, where Isshin's real eyes are shown peeking through the helmet's mouth.

Isshin is actually a woman

Isshin has never taken off his mask or spoken, meaning that while others refer to him with male pronouns, it is possible that they do not know his/her true gender. He is strangely insistent on not taking his mask off even though it would be easier to communicate to others without it, and continues to not let it come off even after he has been shot and Nico asks him to take it off so the doctor can operate. It's possible Isshin does not want anyone else to know about their true gender. His main weapon, the naginata, also happens to be the iconic weapon of the onna-bugeisha, a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese nobility.

• Confirmed in Chapter 85. She's the heir to the name of the first Isshin, an Unbreakable who lived in the nineteenth century.

Ragnarok is actually an Eternal Recurrence situation

Victor implies that he's lived to see multiple iterations of the Union and the Apocalypse/UMA situation. It's possible that Ragnarok resets the world from scratch and Victor is the only thing that lives through the reset due to being Undead.

• Confirmed in Chapter 35.

Unchange and Unavoidable will be seen again

Rip reveals in the Unrepair Arc that a Negator's powers is passed on to a new person when a they die. This means that Gina and Void's powers are up for grabs, so it's very possible that these powers will appear again later into the series, though the Negators who get them may use them in different ways.

• Semi-confirmed, as Apocalypse mentions that the location of the new Unchange is a reward for one of the Four Seasons UMA quests.
• Confirmed as of chapter 134. In fact, it's still a version of Gina and Void.

Nico's only number 8 in the Union because he spends more time doing research

Nico's been a Union member for over fifty years and he singlehandedly defeated a UMA. Since Round Table seating order is decided by "results," presumably the results of Apocalypse's missions, the best explanation for why he's at the bottom of the rankings besides people who joined recently is because he doesn't go on a lot of missions. Given that he's obsessed with collecting data and seems to control the Union's headquarters, he probably has a lot more conflicting priorities than someone like Shen, whose only job is fighting.

Victor will become a separate entity from Andy.

Hey, if Andy can somehow regenerate from any wound, what's stopping Victor from regenerating from a stop where Andy died? Its similar to that situation with Deadpool where his regenerating limbs formed another copy of him, perhaps that situation will come up sometime in the future, where things are really wrapping up and they're at the Final Boss and there needs to be a Back-to-Back Badasses situation.

God is trying to die.

Why would God make artifacts designed to kill themself, and keep creating Negators with dangerous abilities? It's because they don't have the ability to die otherwise, and are trying to create the circumstances possible for a Negator to arise who could kill them. It would also be a nice foil to Andy's quest for a permanent death.

God Was Once a Man.

Specifically, a powerful human from ancient times who was driven so far off the deep end that they transcended humanity and vowed to make them suffer, a la Dracula from Castlevania. It would at least explain why such a powerful being has that much beef with humans.

Sun and Luna aren't "God". They're just exceedingly powerful UMAs.

Sun and Luna may play the part of "God" and they definitely have God-tier abilities. It's possible that they in some way act as UMA personifications of God-tier concepts like "Order" and "Creation", or perhaps they are "God" as an abstract concept made manifest not unlike other UMAs and all other UMAs are extensions of their will, not unlike Vishnu and his avatars. Perhaps God did create them to test his creation, or maybe they just spontaneously appeared in the chaos of the universe and created patterns and laws by their mere presence. Who knows? This would make them something of a collective Demiurge Archetype; exceedingly powerful divine entities who have convinced themselves that they are Capital "G" God and they make bad things happen to all the lesser beings on the material plane just to prove it.

The Ten Master Rules

• The First Seat: Being the very first rule that was added by God to the universe, it would make sense for them to be something fundamental like Space or Time, but due to the themes of the manga and them acting as a de facto final boss, it would make much more sense for the first rule to be Death.
  • Jossed. He is UMA Soul
• The Second Seat: She looks like she's praying but the Third Seat comments on her smelling like blood and guts, alluding to a dark nature. Keeping in line with the Ten Master Rules reflecting Negators from the Union, she might be Justice, something that seems pure and good at first glance but can be used to justify cruel exactions.
  • In the flashback of chapter 188, Juiz comments on the fact that in her original world, sex and gender didn't exist, but that they are now part of the master rules. With that in mind, the Second Seat might be Sex, with her bloodier aspect being in reference to childbirth.
  • Given her nun theme, she might be Religion. On the surface, religion may teach morality and such but many throughout history have used religion to start wars and excuse the atrocities they commit in the name of it.
  • All jossed. She is the UMA Death.
• The Third Seat: Her hairs being braided in the shape of DNA, she might be Science or Evolution.
  • Jossed. As of chapter 187 we know she is the rule Gina negates: Change.
• The Fourth Seat: All but confirmed to be Luck. She is called "Dear Lucky" by the Second Seat and the halo above her head is shaped as the Wheel of Fortune.
• The Fifth Seat: They wear a medieval armor and wield a longsword. They may be History or Past.
  • Jossed. He is the UMA Justice.
• The Sixth Seat: He wears a military uniform and has half of his face skinless with the skull apparent. They are probably War.
• The Seventh Seat: He is an old man wearing a classic victorian attire and holding a pocketwatch. Very likely to be Time.
• The Eighth Seat: She is seen reading a book and her hat is shaped like a Ziggurat, likely in reference to the Tower of Babel, which would make her Language.
  • Confirmed in chapter 188.
• The Ninth Seat: They wear an animal pelt on their back and their crouched position evokes that of caveman. Might be Savagery or Wilderness.
  • Jossed in chapter 188. He is Beast.
