Hey guys, firstly, thanks for the support. Glad you guys like the story through the obvious flaws.
I feel like I should hash out all the specifics about cursed techniques, specifically Chiral Manipulation.
As yall know the primary ability of Chiral manipulation is the ability to create a mirrored copy of any phenomena created through cursed energy.
Now there is a flaw, relating to the amount of abilities that can be memorized and everything else so I will discuss the cursed technique in detal here. I also am going to update the chapter 0 Cursed technique page for Futago.
__
When Futago sees a cursed technique being activated he can create a mirrored copy of that technique. Mirrored copies negate their original when they make contact.
When he copies something he needs to undergo whatever the condition for that ability is.
Example: When he was fighting Kuroda, and tried to use the rotation ability, Kuroda had to rotate his cube like body to use the ability.
But Futago doesn't have a cube body, so when Futago copied it, he had to use a binding vow to change the condition to activate the ability to a handsign.
Another example would be a heavenly restriction like Mechamaru. If he wanted to get Mechamaru's massive range, he would have to undergo the condition of sacrificing his body. (Although since he is only taking the range from Mechamaru and not the output, he wouldn't be as hindered as Mechamaru.)
__
After creating a mirrored copy of the ability and using it, their are 2 things he can do.
One wait for the enemy to use that ability again and then create a copy once more.
Two, store the ability/phenomena you just saw happen into your 'memory' slot.
Originally the protagonist had one memory slot, but he made binding vows to have 3. [Reasoning behind this is because the human brain can store 3 techniques at once according to Yuki]
Originally the protagonist would forget what was put into a 'memory' slot within 2 weeks, but he made another binding vow, so whatever is put into a memory slot won't be forgotten, unless the protagonist chooses to free up the slot.
(Originally, he could swap whatever he wanted into a memory slot, and it would be forgotten in 2 weeks. Now he can't swap what he put into a memory slot for a year, in exchange, he will not 'forget' the ability unless he gets rid of it himself.)
__
Now, Futago doesn't copy the entire cursed technique, but that one application/phenomenon related to it.
For example, the protagonist currently memorized Flowing Red Scale, Forced Rotation, and the barrier for Kuroda's domain.
He doesn't have access to the entirety of Blood manipulation, but rather the specific ability to manipulate the properties of blood. (For Flowing Red Scale, you manipulate the specific properties of blood, like RBC, Heart rate, and Blood temperature).
This doesn't mean he is limited to just Flowing Red Scale, if their is another ability related to the properties of blood he can use it.
If you asked him to manipulate the shape of blood, then that's a different phenomenon and would take another slot.
Now this may just seem like a nerf, since he can't take an entire technique. However, someone did catch on to the idea that I had.
Since he copies the phenomena, he can copy literally any ability of JJK, not just techniques, so things like Rika's ability to store, or the ability of literally any of the 10 shadows, the ability of any cursed tool like prison realm, etc.
[For example, taking Maho's adaptation, Round deers ability to use negative energy to heal, Nues lightning discharge ability, etc.]
All are phenomena generated by cursed energy.
I have a question for you guys.
Would you prefer me to make it so that he can take Rika's ability to store cursed techniques indefinitely, or make it so that when he copies the ability from Rika, it becomes a nerfed version?
If I give him an unconditional copy, then he unironically will just wipe the verse, since he already has Yuta-level reserves.
(Not to mention that with the ability to copy any phenomena related to cursed energy, he could copy the ability to store cursed energy from Rika and literally get infinite cursed energy.)
I was thinking that when he copies the ability, it becomes a weakened version, since his human anatomy isn't as suited to the ability as the shikigami. It would just increase his memory slots from 3->6.
Another reason for that is well ... If he copies Mahoraga's adaptation at full power, then he will neg-diff the verse, since he can just start attacking himself with abilities and eventually become a Fully Adapted Mahoraga.
If you guys have any other questions about the story you can let them out, I'll respond to them.
