Konbou
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Konbou (Soul Cudgel) is Gafuruu Haribou's fullbring.
It has no visible manifestation.
Fullbring Abilities
Gafuruu's ability doesn't change, but is intensified. He can take control of any visible solid object, 1 additional litre of volume for every 4 Reiatsu he has. The object must also be visible to the naked eye.
- The object must be within 100m of Gafuruu for him to take control over it; however, once he has control of it, he can move it up to 2000m away from him, after which he loses control of it and it moves according to physics.
- The object moves at a maximum speed of 500m per second in any direction, in air. (For comparison, the fastest human running speed is about 11.9 m/s, typical rifle bullets travel at about 1000 m/s, and the fastest snail in the world is 0.00275 m/s.) Faster-moving objects, when taken control of, will slow down to that maximum speed. Naturally, obstructions or going through different media (water, ground, vacuum, etc.) will affect the speeds depending on various factors.
- The objects become much harder and therefore more difficult to destroy. They instantly require attacks of at least 20% of Gafuruu's Reiatsu to destroy (e.g. if Gafuruu has 500 Reiatsu, each item under his control will require attacks of at least 100 Reiatsu/Weapons/Melee to break). If the objects would already have required more than this amount of power to break, they retain their usual hardness.
- His ability now enables him to control up to 1 item for every point in Weapons or Movement (e.g. if Gafuruu has 20 Weapons and 10 Movement, he may control up to 30 objects) and move them independently; while under his control, the objects feel to him like extra limbs and so control is instinctive: he knows at all times the exact location and velocity of each object. Other beings will find it almost impossible to wrest control of them away from him.
- If the item he controls possesses moving parts (e.g. a clasp, lock, nuts and bolts, etc.), he also has intuitive control of those moving parts, but takes up to three post cycles (depending on complexity) to become fully familiarised with the workings.
- The objects under his control become inert, and will not undergo any reactions or processes even if previously able to (e.g. concrete under his control cannot be dissolved in acid, metals under his control will not melt under heat or turn brittle under cold, etc.).
Strengths
Unlimited: Gafuruu will never run out of items to control.
Far far away: Gafuruu's ability allows him to constantly keep track of the items under his control without seeing them, allowing him to fight without making himself immediately obvious to the enemy. His long range of control helps too.
Sudden: This ability is not immediately visible, allowing Gafuruu a certain element of surprise.
Weaknesses
Out of sight: If too far away or out of his sight, Gafuruu cannot take full advantage of the surroundings for attack, and may even accidentally injure allies/innocent bystanders in the vicinity: like sticking one's fingers into a black box, he knows where his objects are but cannot tell the locations of any other thing in the unseen area, unless his objects are impeded by them. Time factor: If controlling an originally soft item, Gafuruu must wait for it to harden properly before it can be used as any sort of attack or defense.
