Mankai-Sakuretsu (Full Bloom Explosion Style)
Description: As the name suggests, it has to do with explosions. The user of this style has gained the ability to infuse so much energy in their projectile and hand-held weapon attacks, that the impact with a target results in an explosion – or rather, a release of all this pent up energy. It would not work with mechanical weapons, such as guns, because the user does not come in direct contact with the projectile (bullet, missile, etc.). For Tsubaki this works well with the Senbon (long needles) she uses, enhancing her ranged combat abilities by quite a bit. The use of her longer-than-normal katana also works for this style, but it almost always comes with a back-clash, unless she decides to throw her sword.
The reason the words “Full Bloom” are added is because the explosion of a strike often spreads in a flower-like pattern, causing the attack to look like a quickly blooming flower upon impact. The scorch marks often resemble a flower as well. It is unknown why exactly it looks like that – the reason might hide in Tsubaki’s own distribution of energy.
Another thing to mention is that the weapons do not really explode themselves. You can think of the attack as energy surrounding the blade/needle more than hiding within. So, when it releases, it releases outward. Can this harm the weapon? Yes. Make it explode from within? No, not really.
Base Level: At this stage, Tsubaki is able to cause some damage with her projectiles. The energy embedded in one Senbon would cause an explosion of fifty centimeters in radius. At this stage, she is not able to detonate the projectiles earlier than on impact. Also, the heat produced by the energy is so concentrated that it explodes so under water it would be slower, with no flames (obviously) but still hold pressure in it which could feel like a good punch. This style grants her no defensive abilities. She is not able to absorb explosions. What it does do is improve her aim. Concentrating a significant amount of energy into a projectile takes a lot of time and practice – it also allows the user to use this now trained up ability mix-up of observance and concentration to gain close to deadly precision. This, however, does not guarantee all shots will hit (unless the targets are standing still and there are no natural conditions disturbing the shot).
At this stage, Tsubaki can also focus her energy onto Ryūran – her katana – but as the surface is bigger, it does actually take a little time and the strike causes an explosion with a radius of two meters. What this means, is that it might be a good suicide attack. If she were to throw her sword, the explosive power would shrink of that of a 1,25 meter radius and such a throw would never be precise because of the size and curve of the blade.
(D class)
Skilled Level: At this stage, Tsubaki has gotten the ropes of how to use her style and can now control it better. This upgrade comes with the ability to detonate projectiles in mid-air, if necessary. The radius of her power output grows from fifty centimeters to one hundred centimeters. She can make the explosion even bigger (caps at three meters -300 centimeters) but she needs more time for it. Extra fifteen seconds of focusing for every fifty centimeters she wants to add. She can also diminish the energy input, causing smaller explosions, if needed for more subtle situations. At this stage the manipulation of her energy input is very good. As for the use with a katana, the original range of the explosion stays about the same, but she can also enlarge it by taking time (caps at five meters). Tsubaki can now focus her energy on one side of the blade, only. While escaping direct flames, she is not guarded from the impact of the blow and would probably be sent back a few feet, depending on the surroundings. This still doesn’t make her immune to flames or anything like that. However, she is now gaining the ability to infuse her energy into different sort of objects for projectile use. Of course, they are not nearly as powerful as the ones she usually use (depends on the material but the explosion would not range any further than one meter radius of the object).
(C class)
Supreme Level: At this point Tsubaki has completely mastered the fighting style. She can dish out normal projectiles with at least the radius of three meters as an explosion easily (capping at eight meters in radius). The control of her energy has also allowed her to focus on moving less but more with sense, upping her speed quite a bit. The girl can be a force to reckon with if given some ammunition. Blade-like explosions can be extremely focused (for example, she can just make the area around the tip of her blade explode, etc.). Also, having gotten a mastery level at controlling this ability with projectiles, she has gained the ability to mimic the effects on other objects. It never works on larger areas. Objects such as these would be no bigger than her, or such a feat might take a lot of time (About thirty seconds for half a meter) and it takes a toll on her. Small objects would only take a second (say a marble) and the force output would range to two meters in radius. At this point she can use anything as a projectile with the same conditions as her usual weapons but with ¼ less power.
