A little backstory on Jack:
This thread will be divided into the following categories:
- Durability/Endurance
- Speed
- Strength
- Arms
Durability/Endurance
Jack gets sent flying by one of the Regalu brothers, who are werewolves, and is able to still fight afterwards:
In a (mostly) off-screen fight, Jack battles one of the Regalu brothers until the werewolf breaks his farming hoe (?), hitting Jack in the process. Despite the werewolf having possessing superhuman strength, Jack would still be able to fight:
Jack takes another powerful hit from one of the Regalu werewolf brothers, strong enough to make him cough blood and fly up in the air, yet he would still remain conscious and able to fight afterwards:
Jack is hit by Pano's Metal Ball right in the gut and basically shrugs it off, blocks her following attacks, and then is hit in the back of the head by her detached ball and is still fine:
During his fight with Korekkio, Jack is cursed by a darkness arm that binded his movements and made him frozen in place. He tried to break out bu raising his magical power, but because of this Korekkio could locate him (using the darkness arm made him blind momentarily) and hit him with his hammer, which shrunk Jack down to about the size of Korekkio's foot. Korekkio then kicks Jack away multiple times and even steps on him but still has the strength to get up and keep fighting:
Jack endures having his own Earth Wave reflected back at himself:
When fighting one of the Zodiac, the twelve strongest Knights in the Chess no Koma, Jack faces off against Vizal, another plant user. When Vizal uses an arm to summon a swarm of plants, Jack is confused because he's never seen these types of plants before. While inspecting them, he finds out that they explode on contact, however he isn't injured from the explosion one bit:
Jack isn't bothered by Vizal's leaf attack, which made the leaves in his tree sharp as blades:
Speed
Jack is able to block the attacks of one of the Regalu werewolf brothers for a short time despite the werewolf being superhuman:
Jack is able to follow three of the four parts of Pano's Ball Hammer after she split it up and is even able to dodge all but one of them:
Jack is able to follow and block all of Korekkio's attacks. Korekkio is a Bishop member of the Chess no Koma:
Jack's speed increased so much that by the last match of the War games, he was punching at speeds which looked like a blur:
Jack then dodges all of Vizal's Seed Cannon attacks:
Strength
Jack knocks out one of the Regalu werewolf brothers by bashing his snout in with his Battle Scoop. They were, however, just getting beat up by Ginta so that may have factored in:
In their rematch, Jack is able to catch Pano's Ball Hammer after it separated and aimed for his head, although the effort did hurt his hand:
Jack can actually use his Battle Scoop to help him scale cliff faces, like how he used it to climb up Korekkio's leg:
Jack is able to match Kandis' large rock ax and block it with his Battle Scoop, although he admits he can't beat her in a melee battle. Kandis is a Knight member of the Chess no Koma:
ARMS
Arms (not what you write or hold things with) are special items in MAR-Heaven that are enchanted to perform certain, specific tasks:
Battle Scoop
This was Jack's father's arm that was passed down to him. It's basically a shovel but it has slots for magical stones to empower the weapon to make it stronger:
With his trusted weapon, Jack was able to break the teeth of one of the Regalu werewolf brothers with one swing:
Earth Wave
A technique that Jack can use with his Battle Scoop, where he sends out a small earthquake in a linear fashion at a target.
In the early stages of the manga, Jack used this to defeat Gido, a Pawn level member of the Chess no Koma:
He uses this to completely uproot Vizal's exploding plant arm:
Earth Beans
These aren't an arm but literally just beans that Jack can plant. After he drops them, he uses his Battle Scoop to make then grow instantly and sends them after a target, which wraps them up and binds their movements:
Because they were fighting on ice this time around, Jack couldn't grow his Earth Beans out of the ground like he would have wanted, so when he was shrunk by Korekkio's Magical Hammer, he climbed up his leg, onto his back, and then threw his Earth Beans down his throat. By making them grow inside of Korekkio, Jack was able to incapacitate him:
Magic Mushrooms
Again, these aren't a different arm but just spores of mushrooms. Jack can throw these one a person and it causes mushrooms to sprout around their body, and only he can remove these mushrooms. They cause the target to see illusions and hallucinate badly. These make Pano hallucinate that nearby volcanoes are erupting, worms cover her body, and that jack now has a beautiful face:
Bean Shield
Jack can use his Battle Shovel to grow a large bean that he can hide in and protect himself from attacks. When Kandis tries to skewer him on sharp rock spikes, he uses this technique and is completely unharmed:
Mehitos
This is a different arm, however. Mehitos is Jack's guardian arm that takes the form of a venus fly trap. Guardian arms are protectors who are summoned through the black arts and are meant to be in the fight so that the user can stay out of it. While the guardian arms are out, however, the user has a very limited range of movement:
While fighting Kandis of the Chess no Koma, she was able to summon her guardian Gorgon, which turned whoever looks at it into stone. Jack looked at it, and began to slowly turn to stone himself. However, he realized this was the perfect time to bring out his guardian since he can't move anyway. He summoned Mehitos under Kandis and had it bite her, injuring her badly, and then had one of its smaller mouths destroy Gorgon's arm so that Jack stopped turning into stone:
Jack summons Mehitos in his fight with Vizal, one of the 12 strongest Knights of the Chess no Koma and someone who beat Jack's father six years ago. Vizal tried attacking Jack with two snake-like appendages from his giant tree, but Mehitos bite them cleanly in half:
Fire Demon Foley
This is an arm that Jack received from Kaldea when Team MAR visited the country. It summons a small fire demon that appears to wear Arabian clothes:
This Fire Demon is strong enough to destroy Vizal's guardian arm Blighting Bird with ease, because despite it's size, it was made out of wood. This guardian also completely burns Vizal's tree Yggdrasil, which was big enough to cover the entire platform the two of them were fighting on. The spectators even commented that it burned away "instantly":
Here's the size of the tree:
Fire Demon Foley then burns the tree on top of Vizal's head, as Jack realized that that was the source of his magic power. According to these cans, Foley only has to get near his target and then wave his hand in that direction and the target with catch fire:
