Aura (
Overview[]
Aura is often depicted as flame-like in appearance, with its color varying uniquely from one individual to another. For both the living and spirits, aura serves as the vital energy that sustains their existence, functioning much like a "battery" that powers the "motor", which refers to the heart. The loss of one's aura is inevitably fatal, rendering all attempts at revival futile. For spirits, the consequences of losing their aura are particularly profound — their bodies disintegrate into dust, forever severing their chance to achieve nirvana and transition to the afterlife. Moreover, when no trace of their body remains, the absence of their aura triggers a unique phenomenon: both the living and the dead experience a complete erasure of all memories of the spirit's existence, leaving no legacy of them behind.
Auras serve a similar purpose to ki, functioning as a crucial source of energy for spiritual power. While ki is more prominently regarded as the primary source for awakening one's spiritual powers in humans, auras serve as the primary source for yokai-type spiritual powers, as Okarun and Aira managed to acquire yokai powers after they came into possession of their yokai's aura. Momo's psychokinesis also gives evidence to this fact, as she can suppress yokai powers by having her psychic hands "squeeze" the aura. In the human body, ki is typically concentrated in the area below the navel, while aura is depicted as residing at the very center, symbolizing its vital role in sustaining both the living and spirits.

In addition to serving as a source of power, auras also hold a being's memories, acting as a profound repository of experiences and emotions. Should an individual somehow come into contact with a being's aura, it will have the effect of unveiling important events from that being's past. This phenomenon has mainly been the case with Momo using her psychokinesis. After using her psychic hands to connect Acrobatic Silky's aura to Aira's body during a transfer, Momo inadvertently viewed the yokai's memories of her past life all the way to her encounter with a young Aira as a spirit. Another instance occurred during the Evil Eye's exorcism, where Momo received a memory of the Evil Eye witnessing children dancing during his confinement after she used her power to restrain Jiji. The third time was when she desperately attempted to close Bamora's fatal wound inflicted by the Hastur using her power, leading to her coming into contact with the Sumerian girl's aura and viewing memories of her life during the Kur invasion of Sumer, as well as her cherished time with the Family.
Trivia[]
- Given that auras serve as the origin of yokai-type spiritual powers, it can be inferred that the power extraction from the Asura blade is aimed at auras.
- While trying to sense for the aura of Okarun's kintama at the Kamigoe Police Box, Momo sensed bright orbs floating around the area, much like the orbs perceived by the HUDs of exosuits. While these orbs have yet to be addressed and explained, they most likely give reference to ghost orbs, manifestations of spirits or paranormal entities wandering the living world that often appear in photographs or videos.
- For reasons unknown, Unji's defeat in his possessed battle against Okarun resulted in the revelation of his past memories to both Okarun and an unconscious Momo, akin to Momo's ability to perceive fragments of a person's memories through her psychic abilities.
