Powers and Abilities
Reiryoku Absorption & Manipulation: Aoshi primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with his or own spiritual energy to form weapons. He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of spiritual particles, such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo. To Aoshi there is no difference between spiritual particles and spiritual energy as a source of power. He can also manipulate spiritual energy for offensive purposes. As a Quincy he most commonly reshapes spiritual particles into various types of bow and arrows, but can also concentrate spiritual energy into the form of swords, Seele Schneider, or Gintō. Quincy Seal: This power allows Aoshi to use his Quincy cross in a different way, he places it on the target or on the ground and once the seal is on the opponent their power is taken from them and placed in the Quincy cross. When he seals the power of another person away he can then use their powers as if it were his own by activating the Quincy cross. He has also shown that he can fuse the abilities of those whose powers that have been sealed away and use it for his own purposes.
 * Quincy Bow & Spirit Arrows: All the Quincy have the ability to create a unique spirit bow, and subsequently generate spirit arrows for the bow by using a Quincy cross or pentacle. The bow and arrows are made up completely of reiryoku from the users surroundings and last as long as the wielder's stamina and reiryoku reserves allow.
 * Spirit Shield: Aoshi can create a force field around himself and others by using his own spirit energy or the spirit particles that is around him.
 * Spirit Chains: Aoshi can use the spirit particles around him to form them into chains that binds the opponent, he can even drain an opponent's spiritual energy using this technique.

Quincy: Letzt Stil (滅却師最終形態（クインシー・レツトシュティール）, Kuinshī Retsutoshutīru; Japanese for "destruction sage: final form, Quincy" Aoshi has found a way to use this power without the use of the glove, and can access its power without losing his abilities after using it.

Spiritual Awareness: As a Quincy, he can sense Hollows and other spiritual beings at a significant distance or tell in what direction they are in. Aoshi can even detect an enemy even if they are using an advanced technique to hide their presence.

Ransōtengai (乱装天傀; lit. "heavenly wild puppet suit", "disheveled paradise puppet" in the Viz translation) — This is a high level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of spirit energy controlled by their brain, forming lines or strings out of countless spiritrons. By using this technique, the user can control their body as one would a puppet, allowing them to move freely despite paralysis, broken limbs, or any other force that would impede normal movement.

Immense Spiritual Power: Aoshi has demonstrated a great amount of spiritual energy. He has obviously mastered the Quincy ability of Reiryoku absorption, taking in spirit particles and spirit energy alike; This on top of his own energy reserves lends him plenty of strength in combat.

Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: During his fight with Dangai, Ahoshi uses Seele Schneider as a sword expertly. Even though it is really an arrow, and his main prowess lies in archery and Quincy techniques, it is clear that Aoshi has some ability with the sword. He also engages his Seele Schneider against multiple hollows and successfully blocks their attacks.

Excellent Intellect & Athleticism: Aside from his Quincy powers, Aoshi is well-trained in both mind and body, having substantial athletic abilities and a genius intellect. He uses his intelligence to find weak points in his opponents, even overcoming disadvantages he has through thinking on his feet. Due to keeping his physical prowess at its peak, Aoshi can easily hold out against all but the most resilient opponents during a battle.

Gintō Expert: He is able to use the spiritual energy stored in the silver tubes to create similar effects to Kidō. Aoshi can even use his own energy rather than the energy stored in a silver tube.

Hirenkyaku (飛廉脚; lit. "Flying Screen Step/God Step", Viz translation, "Flying Bamboo-Blind Leg") Aoshi is highly skilled in the use of the technique. He was even able to keep up with captain level shinigami using this technique.

Grand Falcon : This bow has the shape of a falcon in the middle while the rest of it has an appearance of a regular bow.The bow can fire up to 2000 arrows, it also has the ability to cause any thing that it hits to explode on the users command.

Seele Schneider: The Seele Schneiders were not created solely for the ability to cut through spirit pressure impacts. On impact, the union of spirit particles in whatever has been cut loosens. This is merely a tool which makes them easier to steal away. For a Quincy, absorbing spirit particles from the environment to strengthen one's weapon is absolutely imperative and the Seele Schneider is the strongest embodiment of this process. It's much longer than a standard arrow and functions something like a chainsaw and the blade is composed entirely of reishi, which is constantly revolving around 3,000,000 times per second.

He is willing to go out of his way to do Miu a favor since he has special feelings for her ever since she lost her captain.

He also does favors for Kito since he helped his father get over a disease, he was even willing to go into hell to help Kito accomplish his task.
