Akiko may not have inherited Inumaki Curse speech technique, she did however has a 'new strand' of the technique. Satoru believes that Akiko has the protentional on becoming an extremely strong sorcerer despite the flawed in her techinque. Her technique showed a lot of similairities as to Toge's with her being able to command others by just speaking. However she needs direct eye contact with her opponent. Both her and her opponent must lock eyes in order for her technique to even work properly. Akiko has a good graps on which phrases and words to use that is strong or weak when battling. Akiko curse Technique comes with several downfalls. Though it being strong technique with able to command others, she can only control one person at time unlike Toge who is able to command anyone who hears him. Akiko needs that eye contact without any sort of barrier otherwises the technique won't work. This applies to eye contacts, sunglasses, glass etc as those all counts as barriers. Though Akiko finds that downfall as a upside as she uses it to speak freely by just putting on sunglasses without the fear of commandingn someone. Another few downfalls she has is that using too much of her curse technique her throat can become irritate to the point she's coughing up blood, she cher losing her voice leaving her completely useless. Also using it too much and screaming out her commands can make her dizzy and begin to lose her vision.

Immense Reflexes:Akiko's reflexes are above average which is where a her combate abilities mostly lie. She has the ability to react rather quickly. With this she can able to counter attack if needed in a battle.

High Endurance: Akiko curse technique requires a high amount of stamina to use. It causes extreme throat irritation nearly causing Akiko lose her voice, coughing up blood, dizziness, or losing her sight if overused. Despite this, Akiki continues to fight even after she reaches her limit and is able to make commands as she begins to lose her voice. .
