Abilities

As the curator of the 4PM Bookstacks, he has access to the entire body of knowledge surrounding the school, along with the present, past, and future. He seems to know everything about every student that has ever attended the school.

Even after his yorishiro and boundary were broken, his powers still allow him ways to retrieve the books in the library.

He mentions that because of his position, it's possible for him to alter the future, but he does not plan to do so because any curator who does will be erased from existence.

Trivia

His favorite snack is bekko candy.

His latest concern is how hard it is to live a double life as a teacher and a Supernatural.

His name is a reference to the yōkai Tsuchigumo/Earth Spider (土蜘蛛) but with the phonetic 'go' (five) substituted in as a nod to his school mystery number.

He hates loud noises, so he doesn't take too well to lightning. The same can be said for his fear of cars, noting them for their fast speed.

He absolutely hates snowy weather, and is very weak to cold.

His favorite festival stall is yo-yo fishing.

Abilities

Wavelength Control

Stein is described as having a flexible well as powerful soul wavelength with highly advanced levels of control over it, enabling him to use a variety of capabilities with only his wavelength. Stein displays rare and extreme mastery of his own wavelength thanks to his flexible soul and can match his wavelength with another's to nullify their wavelength attacks or wield Weapons that usually require great wavelength synchronization.

Genius Meister

A very capable genius meister, Franken Stein's talent enables him to master most any weapon to a certain extent. He is considered to be more talented and skilled than even Maka's mother.

Scythe-Meister

Franken Stein is known to be an extremely skilled scythe-meister and normally employs Death Scythe as his main weapon of choice. He's very adept at handling a scythe, enough to spin and twirl a scythe weapon with ease.

Stein's Fighting Style

When using a scythe, his fighting style revolves around using his scythe weapon as a shield to block attacks and then immediately counter-attacking with his left hand with powerful attacks such as Soul Menace. His skill enabled him to fairly easily and quickly outmatch Crona using the Demon Sword against him. He was also able to fight on par with the witch, Medusa, and win albeit with a great deal of luck.

Hand-to-Hand Combat

Stein is exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat. With his unarmed combat skills combined with his other various skills, he's been able to easily take down Maka Albarn and Black☆Star when they both used their weapons in their first altercation and interaction with him. He seemingly gained the upper-hand in his spar with Black☆Star as well, even after the assassin improved his skills greatly. He's also not above abandoning the use of his weapon and relying on some of his unarmed ability, evident as he did so during his battle against Crona.

Weaknesses

Perhaps Stein's most well-known weakness is his sensitivity to Madness; he himself noted that he's especially sensitive to Asura's Madness Wavelength and even felt Arachne's Madness Wavelength from the Czech Republic, despite being in all the way in Death City located in Nevada. This can cause him to have difficulty concentrating and always puts him at risk of losing his sanity and becoming a threat to his allies. At some point his Madness becomes so profound that he is put under house arrest, and is incapacitated and unable to teach.

During his battle with Medusa Gorgon, Spirit Albarn noted that due to not having fought a serious opponent in a long time, this has caused him to "lose his edge" and also lose the ability to intimidate. Despite being a powerful Meister, he's still has trouble against high-caliber opponents like Medusa. He also admitted himself while sparring with Black☆Star that the assassin knows he can get just as "jammed up" as anyone else in regular hand-to-hand combat, when he got distracted by the power of the latter's Soul Menace.
