Appearance

Personality
Reiner is calculating, pragmatic, and highly focused on acquiring useful templates rather than seeking fights for their own sake. He considers compatibility, physical attributes, stamina costs, and battlefield roles before creating or merging Undead. 2 14 57 161
He is ruthless toward threats and betrayal, pre-empting an ambush in Loguetown, killing Kurok's group, and immediately incapacitating Squard at Marineford. 19 206 He also taunts opponents freely, especially when confident that he has already identified the limits of their abilities. 176 358
Despite this, he is capable of consideration toward allies and civilians. He handles the Straw Hats' supplies, buys Chopper cotton candy, assists Hiyori's rescue effort, and shows mercy to the Marine brothers after the war. 9 62 228 354
Abilities & Skills
Human-Human Fruit, Necromancer Lord Form
Reiner possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit identified as the Human-Human Fruit, Necromancer Lord Form; an earlier account calls it the “Necrolord Form.” It enhances his physique and grants three transformation stages. 2 220
- Can collect a target's physical data through touch, represented by azure flame. 2
- Creates Undead with the target's physical statistics and template; they can retain characteristics and techniques, but not the target's Devil Fruit ability. 2
- Cannot collect data from individuals significantly stronger than himself, and stronger targets require more time to record. 2 26
- Summons and recalls Undead through spatial rifts; recalled Undead can be repaired and re-summoned. 9 10
- Uses lesser Undead for ship maintenance, supply management, cleaning, and other logistical work. 9 140
- His own Undead can act as extensions of himself; those based on his own templates can summon his wider Undead roster without delay. 221
Template Fusion and Awakening
Compatible templates may be merged into a single Undead. Fusion does not stack attributes; it retains the superior applicable attributes of each template. 14
- His awakening improved his physical strength, Undead control, and access to template-derived talents. 57
- Merging Ace and Crocodile's templates produced sand-and-fire elemental manipulation, though it lacks true Logia transformation and the originals' specialized techniques. 57
- The Mage Undead later incorporates Enel's template, adding lightning-based offense to its arsenal. 99 126
- Sukuna was reinforced by Golden Lion's template, granting flight and elevating it above the Mage Undead. 168
- Demon Oars combines Oars' body with the Blue and Red Ogre templates, gaining their strengthened combat techniques without Oars' excessive size. 161
Necromancer Lord Transformations
Reiner's transformations draw directly upon the traits of his Undead.
- In his transformed state, each physical attribute can match the strongest corresponding attribute among his Undead. 9
- The Nation-Moving Demon form grants the strength to lift and overpower opponents of Urouge's scale. 176
- The full Beast Form is an amalgamation of all controlled Undead, allowing Reiner to employ their abilities and Sukuna's swordsmanship through his own body. 372
- The form does not experience pain and can recover rapidly, but its construction requires most of his Undead to be recalled. 371 420
- Seastone and certain special abilities can restrain the form; otherwise, it must be exhausted into collapse. 371
Haki
Reiner possesses all three known forms of Haki.
- Conqueror's Haki — First displayed against Bellamy's crew, incapacitating the surrounding pirates. He later receives Rayleigh's instruction to master Conqueror's Coating. 78 228
- Observation Haki — Awakens after Marineford and is used to assess threats and show mercy to the Marine brothers. 228
- Armament Haki — Reinforces his body, sand constructs, and attacks; it allows him to block Kid's metal weapons and Law's Gamma Knife. 127 358

- Necrotic Form and Black Bone — Used alongside teleportation, Dark-Dark Fruit, and Phoenix Fruit abilities against Garp and Sengoku. 421
Soul Imbuement
Reiner can imbue an Undead with a soul, making it autonomous while preserving his absolute authority over it. 354
- Soul-infused Undead can understand commands and act without Reiner micromanaging every movement. 354
- The process does not remove Reiner's soul, but costs him lifespan. 354
- Hawk and Gluttony Linlin are among the Undead granted souls. 354 361
Principal Undead

- Sukuna — Ryuma-based swordsman Undead later fused with Golden Lion's template. 149 168
- Demon Oars — Oars-derived warrior created from Thriller Bark assets. 161
- Gun Ghost / Death Gun — Four-pistol Undead gunman whose performance convinces Reiner to improve its firearms. 161
- Undead Army — A force of mutated beasts collected for large-scale conflict and first deployed at Marineford. 162 207
