Shonen manga/anime: How many more power sources can there be?!

[Guardian of the Rain]

Naruto - Chakra
Dragon Ball - Ki
One Piece - Devil Fruit
Bleach - Spiritual Pressure
Yu Yu Hakusho - Spirit Energy
Hitman Reborn - Flames
My Hero Academia - Quirks
Hunter x Hunter - Nen
Etc

Aspiring shonen manga authors really have to be extra creative.

Make a new power source, I'd like to hear one coming from you.

I'm sure I could think of a decent one if I thought long enough, but I'm not an aspiring manga author. There are probably only a few more cool original power sources that can be created. But just like movies, products, and whatnot, most ideas are inspired by other ideas. Few are completely original.

I mean, they are all the same thing just different names and execution.

Who knows...maybe some kind of trend or tradition.

I wish they'd do a continuation of Bleach and Yu Yu hakusho...

Of the power sources I listed, Flames are the most original. They're not normal flames/fire. If you haven't read/watched Katekyo Hitman Reborn, you won't understand.

Ki is disgustingly simple. Not complex at all.
Chakra and Nen are also quite simple, but at least they have A LOT of applications.
Devil Fruit and Quirks are much alike.
Spiritual Pressure and Spirit Energy are similar. Bleach was heavily influenced by Yu Yu Hakusho.

As much as I love Yu Yu Hakusho, I wouldn't want it to continue. It ended damn near perfectly. I especially love the ending of the last episode, the beach scene. As for Bleach, sure.

I want like a time skip for Yu Yu hakusho, like a new generation...lmao, secret is, I never finshed the show, couldn't do it...but I've seen the last episode.

Aren't YYH and Bleach such similar concepts...

What Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Flame of Recca and Bleach have in common?
