summary

There are quite a few xenopathy battles, but I get the impression that the number of works that deal with supernatural abilities or special abilities that lean towards super powers is decreasing.
Works based on special powers are a fascinating genre in which the ingenuity of each character can be enjoyed, so I hope that this number will increase in the future!
