Unused/dummy skills[]
- Note: In English all unused skills share the same name ("Noting" in NA, "Nothing" in EU) in spite of having original names in Japanese.
| Japanese | Romaji | English Translation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| しろはた | Shirohata | White Flag | Its description ("Grants immunity to normal attacks") and its Japanese name (a white flag is an international symbol of giving up) may indicate this skill prevented enemies from targeting the caster. |
| ラーク | Raaku | Lark | Shares its name with the "Smoke" spell from Breath of Fire II, and its description ("Lower chance of meeting enemies") confirms its intended use was the same. |
| ザワルド | Zawarudo | The World | Named after the time-stopping Stand used by Dio Brando of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. This and its description ("Use Hourglass to stop time") indicates it was a time-stop skill, possibly similar to the "Hourglass" item (whose animation mimics the effects of Dio's power). |
| サラニ | Sarani | Again | Its description reads "Jump attack (random damage)", but its uncertain just what this skill was meant to do exactly. |
| ゴボウセイ | Gobousei | Pentagram | A fully working skill which creates a pentagram below the enemy and then engulfs it in fire. This skill was also featured in prerelease videos, used by Teepo. |
| すみ | Sumi | Ink | Their description reads "The answer becomes the damage", and when used they create an ink-like black effect over the enemy. When used by Nina (both) and adult Ryu, they shout "Kotodama", which is the name of the Japanese belief in the power of words and language. All this could indicate the spell required some sort of word input in order to produce damage. |
| すみすみ | Sumisumi | Ink Ink | |
| 死の爆弾 | Shi no Bakudan | Death Bomb | Its description reads "Weaken one target vs flame attacks", which may indicate it was meant to work similar to the skill Douse. |
| ミヤクリ | Miyakuri | Yakuri is the Japanese name of the Purify spell, and "mi" is the prefix used in the all-party version of Katekuto/Protect (Mikatekuto/Shield), which combined with the animation when used (a full-party purify effect) indicates it was meant to be an all-party Purify. | |
| 突撃 | Totsugeki | Assault | The spell is somewhat functional, as the character performs a physical attack after a small pause. |
| ルーレット | Ruuretto | Roulette | In Japanese, the description translates to "What is written on the roulette will be done". The description hints that the spell's function might have been similar to the spell with the same name found in Breath of Fire IV. |
