Momo looking into Ayase's powers
A deep dive into Momo's psychic abilities
In the first episode of punishmentMomo Ayase awakens her psychic powers after her abduction by serpent aliens. Later, she unlocks several abilities, including aura detection, psychokinesis, impressive stamina and endurance, durability, and more. Along with these powers, he is also known to be highly intelligent, as many fans can see when he can solve problems and figure out what to do next under tight deadlines. Instead of breaking under pressure, like Okarun, she is able to remain calm and work through solutions.
What really stands out among his powers is psychokinesis, which allows him to lift any object despite its size and weight. With this, she can easily protect herself in difficult situations. As she grabbed Turbo Granny after taking Maneki-ne's doll, she could stop any threat in her tracks, giving her enough time to think about what to do next. Aside from holding an object with his psychokinesis, he can also inflict serious damage and knock back an enemy. This gives him an easy edge over spirits and aliens.
Finding Ara is another aspect of Momo's power that really sets her apart. With this ability, he can detect just about any spirit in the vicinity, which can be especially useful for finding hidden spirits. She was easily able to see into Okarun and discover that Turbo Granny had cursed her, even after a massive battle that had her defeated. Along with detecting hidden spirits, she can use this ability to aid those around her, especially in the case of Okarun, who often finds herself cursed.
Looking into Okarun's powers
Assess Okarun's Cursed Abilities
When it comes to Okarun's abilities, he doesn't get them at first, like with Momo. Instead, it takes a while before his powers are unlocked, and they only come to him after being cursed by Turbo Granny. Eventually, Turbo Granny is expelled from Okarun, meaning he can no longer retain the abilities he inherited from her. However, he soon regains some of these powers, as he continues to come into contact with the supernatural, and eventually restores his powers to their original potential.
With Turbo Granny powers at her side, Okarun has a few abilities she can use. It also includes incredibly fast movement and reflexes, impressive durability, strong cuts from his mask, transport between telephone wires, and astral projection. Mostly, his abilities focus heavily on his speed and strength, and his ability to dodge sharp attacks or throws. With this fast speed, he is able to easily attack the enemy without them being able to land a hit on him. This super speed would also allow him to escape at the last moment if needed, should he find himself in a critical situation.
Okarun's extra supernatural powers from Turbo Granny Yokai can also be useful on their own. As he can travel through telephone wires, this can be used to escape or quickly reach another location when needed. Although he doesn't use this ability often, it's definitely something he can keep in his back pocket if the need arises. His astral projection abilities are not fully understood until now, as it is an ability he demonstrated by accident. However, it's an easy way to detach from your body and spy on others to learn about hidden plans, or find solutions without being in direct danger.

Who is more powerful?
Only one can take the crown
Although both Okarun and Momo have abilities that are useful when going against spirits and aliens, there is one ability that will be more useful in the long run. Okarun and Momo work together as a team to increase their individual powers, but Momo has impressive abilities that shine through them as well. Okarun has unmatched speed and strength, but Momo is no slouch in the power department either. She has impressive durability and can survive intense attacks like Okarun, but has additional supernatural powers on her side. Most of Okarun has his speed.
Momo also has these powers naturally after unlocking them, while Okarun was only able to obtain them after being repeatedly cursed by Turbo Granny. In any fight, Momo will be able to protect herself, as she can use her ability to detect aura to find any hidden objects, and her psychokinesis to either catapult objects at an enemy, or grab and throw them directly. . Even though Okarun is physically stronger, it seems that Momo would have a better chance of outright defeating the enemy rather than temporarily neutralizing the threat.
