As a consequence of having a body composed of animated sand, any user under the influence of this technique possesses phenomenal superhuman strength, able to lift over 90 tons under optimal conditions. His altered body composition and increased density enable him to compact or loosen the particles of sand that make up his form. Consequently, Rei can become as hard as sandstone, or disperse his body so that he becomes invulnerable to physical attacks. A favorite tactic of Rei is making himself slightly dispersed when an opponent punches him, and then making himself rock-solid again, entrapping his opponent's appendage.
