Nobara possesses an extremely high pain tolerance, tactical intellect, and a careful understanding of Jujutsu arts. Her innate Cursed Techniques are the Straw Doll Technique, allowing her to use a straw doll to attack her opponent from a distance by hitting a nail with a Cursed Energy-imbued hammer, such that Curses feel whatever she inflicts onto the straw doll, and Resonance, which allows her to turn Cursed Technique attacks affecting her own body back on the user. The Straw Doll Technique is based on the ushi no toki mairi, who are portrayed as women dressed in white that lay upon cursed on people using a straw doll, hammer, and nails which is a traditional method of inflicting curses. She is also highly proficient in using her hammer to launch nails at enemies, causing both physical and Cursed Energy damage to her opponent when they make contact and can make the nails explode in a physical technique called Hairpin. In addition to her standard abilities, she has been able to a Cursed Energy Manipulation—Black Flash, which creates a spatial distortion when the user comes into contact with the impact of Cursed Energy in a 0.000001 second window of a physical attack. It was revealed in the volume extras that Nobara's grandmother is a sorcerer with the same abilities and was taught to use the technique before enrolling as a student in Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.
