“ | With the unlimited power of the Super Dragon Balls, I cast off my old skin. Here I stand, my mind in your stolen body, brimming with strength unimaginable! | „ |
~ Ruby Black to Ruby |
“ | I look down on existence from a much higher perspective than you do. I witness this world, this universe and the truth of all things. That yields deeper understanding. Wisdom. The realization that all mortals should be destroyed. The one and only mistake among all divine creations. That is what mortals are. And this mistake is egregious. To shape existence into the beautiful utopia it was always meant to be, the mistake must be corrected. I will purge all mortals from existence. In place of the gods who refuse to admit their failure! | „ |
~ Ruby Black |

Limited Resistance to:
- Soul Manipulation (People with Aura can survive with chunks of their souls missing, abilet it weakens them[25]. Additionally, attempting to transfer Aura to the Grimm instead causes them to attempt to drain it from the user. Someone had a good chunk of his soul absorbed by a grimm and lived[26])
All previous abilities massively enhanced, plus:

- Statistics Amplification (Magic is able to amplify the strength of a user's abilities)
- Subjective Reality, possibly Law Manipulation and Physics Manipulation (Magic from the Ever After "breaks the natural laws of our dimension and universe" - despite/due to being a UES and not existing in Universe 7 or the Demon Realm - thus allowing characters to maximise its utility and versatility by wielding their imagination, such as Penny using "Cold Fire" that is capable of neutralizing heat/fire or Ruby using magic to shrink down Crescent Rose when she was turned into a kid. Ruby even says she just thinks about what she wants to do and it happens with her magic)

- Electricity Manipulation (Raven is able to channel electricity into her strikes, and Amber launched bolts of lightning)
- Earth Manipulation (Cinder combined chunks of rock with fire to create a flaming rock sword)

- Crescent Rose: Ruby's weapon, a large Scythe/High-Caliber Sniper Rifle hybrid that she wields with expert proficiency. The Crescent Rose possesses a converting frame, allowing Ruby Black to transform from a compact storage mode, a rifle mode, and an expanded scythe mode. The weapon's rifle mode takes the form of a medium-length, bolt-action rifle. In this form, the absence of the scythe makes for more effective use of the rifle component. In its fully expanded scythe mode, Crescent Rose makes for a deadly mid-to-close-range bladed melee weapon. This form also doubles as a long-barrel sniper rifle for long-range shots without giving up the melee capabilities of the scythe. The Crescent Rose's rifle has a massive recoil, but instead of compensating for it, Ruby Black harnesses it to enhance her mobility in combat, firing shots to propel herself short distances, simultaneously attacking and evading opponents, and using it to launch herself through the air. In melee combat, Ruby Black can fire a shot immediately before a swing, using the recoil to increase the force and speed of her attack. She can also embed the scythe's blade into the ground to prevent the weapon's recoil from throwing off her aim with the sniper rifle component, allowing for rapid, accurate shots. If needed, the bottom of the shaft can unfold to add more cutting power in a close-range fight while also rotating the barrel of the rifle, enabling the recoil to rotate Ruby Black instead of launching her forward, increasing the slicing power drastically. After arriving in Atlas, James Ironwood has Pietro Polendina upgrade Crescent Rose, giving Ruby the ability to activate a trigger on the upper handle that will then rotate the scythe's blade 180 degrees, giving her more control and ease of use of the weapon in cramped spaces.
- Dust Ammunition: Crescent Rose is able to use different kinds of Dust ammunition, as first seen in the "Red" Trailer when she used Gravity Dust after reloading it with the said magazine, and later demonstrated again in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and Volume 4.
- Fire Dust: Shoots fire from the muzzle of Crescent Rose.
- Ice Dust: Allows Ruby to fire ice projectiles from Crescent Rose capable of encasing foes in ice.
- Gravity Dust: Increases the recoil effect when firing the Crescent Rose, propelling Ruby at increased speeds.
- Electric Dust: Fires an electric projectile that briefly paralyzes the target. The discharge from this type of round can also create chain lightning which spreads to surrounding targets.
- Dust Ammunition: Crescent Rose is able to use different kinds of Dust ammunition, as first seen in the "Red" Trailer when she used Gravity Dust after reloading it with the said magazine, and later demonstrated again in RWBY: Grimm Eclipse and Volume 4.
- Potara Earring: Allows her to fuse with another person, which Ruby used to fuse with Future Zamasu to become Fused Zamasu
- Time Ring: The Time Rings are accessories of the Supreme Kai which enable them to travel through time. They are normally used to observe future events in their main timeline.
Intelligence: Even before he stole Ruby's body, the Kai known as Zamasu was an abnormally skilled and powerful fighting prodigy who could put up a fight against Goku in Cannon. After stealing her body and beginning his crusade against mortals, Zamasu, now known as Black, rapidly began to grow in skill. After watching Ruby fight, she was able to accurately replicate her style, and she is able to quickly adapt to new circumstances in combat, learning to even make use of the explosive power Ruby gained from her rage in Ultra Synergy
Weaknesses: Incredibly arrogant and overconfident in her own abilities, especially against opponents who are not divine (as she looks down on all mortals). Due to possessing Ruby's Silver-Eyed Warrior blood, Ruby Black yearns for battle and will drag out fights in order to fight longer, and will also let herself get injured in order to increase her power
Notable Attacks/Techniques: | |
The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. A fighting prodigy, Black was once the strongest Kai to ever live, a race that already possessed immense power, and his power only grew once he stole Ruby's body and gained access to her Human Silver-Eyed Warrior physiology, turning her into an extremely dangerous opponent. Due to her divine nature, she has godly ki and cannot be sensed by mortal beings as a result.
As a Kai, Zamasu, and thus Ruby Black, should have some knowledge of magic.
Ultimate: The ultimate form that Ruby gains after having her potential unlocked by Old Kai's lengthy ritual, greatly increasing her power by unlocking her extremely high dormant strength. While this state must be maintained by steady, regular training, while Ruby has access to it, she can tap into its power by powering up, Its power eclipses that of her Kaio-ken multipliers by a significant margin, and in this state Ultra Synergy: Ultra Synergy is a state which grants Ruby Black god-like traits, by mixing her natural God Ki with Preservation Energy. By activating more of her godly ki, Ruby Black's power increases to a whole other level from what it was before. However it can let the user grow stronger with no limit so long as they think about their perception of good and lets the user use Preservation energy much better. Ultra Synergy fuels itself with Ruby Black's strong Ideals, becoming stronger as she fights for the Zero Mortals Plan as long as she focuses on this mindset without limit. Her power is based on confidence, and drive to do her perception of good. Although not as fast as Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego but has a greater control of movements and power distribution/control. Due to Ruby Black's corrupted sense of justice and natural God ki, her version of Ultra Synergy has red hair with black tips instead of golden hair with white tips like Ruby, Vegeta, and Light's version of Ultra Synergy |
