- Air Hike (Devil May Cry)
- Geppo/Moonwalk (One Piece)
- Doubleflight (Kingdom Hearts)
- Mid-Air Jump
Capabilities
The user uses their own inertia to create a vortex around themselves that substitutes a physical body to propel themselves off of.
Some users can jump infinitely, this is made possible due to their leg strength - using the speed of a kick through the air, one can use the air (which, due to the speed of the kick, could not escape properly) as a sort of cushion of the fall, therefore using it to jump another time. Given that the user has enough power in his/her legs, one can jump as many times as possible. A common video game cliche.
Applications
- Defy gravity for a short period on time.
- Jump to high place.
- Jumping large gaps.
- Reaching hard to reach ledges.
Variations
- Infinite Jump - The user can jump indefinitely mid-air without stopping.
Limitations
- May be limited to only ascending, ie. it must be used before the jump reaches the top of its arc.
- Once the initial vortex has been created, the user cannot generate enough inertia to make another jump until they reach the ground or another tangible surface.
- Weak against Flight Negation.

Blueno (One Piece) using Geppo, a technique that allows the users to actually jump off the air, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual.
Enishi Yukishiro (Rurouni Kenshin) using Shikkū Tōsei to jump in midair after his initial jump is equal to gravity's force.
Like most masters of Shundo, Kaito (UQ Holder) is able to jump off the air itself via the Void Instant Movement technique.
