OG hasn't abandoned or changed the original story he's just revealed what was really behind it all and it's all coming together. I am not saying that he abandoned the Election Tournament story. What I am saying is that since the time when the Tournament was set up, a lot of new story has been uncov...

The present Kabane has stated that: <i>"Dragon's Eye" which can consume an unlimited supply of "ki", there was the "Dragon's Fist" which can collect...

To add to kk1's remark, Reiki isn't a source of any power by itself. It's just a device to control one's own power to higher degree of precision. Shoujou was just using his own Dragon Gate (copycat ability) more efficienly using Reiki. You might say that Reiki made him better at it, but it added not...

I don't think there is any way to prove or disprove that. We know that she can see present, future and past at a distance. That's the whole point of her power.

I don't see how that is proving that she is time-travelling. The emphasis is on "seeing", "senses" and "feeling". Just as it ever was with the Dragon Eye. And I never disagreed with anything Agent_Wax said. In fact, he only confirmed my ideas. Dragon Eye is the ability to see the present, past and f...

Technically she is time travelling, just not her physical body.

In other words, if she spends a minute watching something in the past, she'll age a minute in the present. I think that's speculative. Maybe she does, maybe she doesn't.

Well, what do you want me to say? You proposed that since Shoujou killed Ono, then killing is a prerequisite for his copying techinque. But that is a logical fallacy!

Something like that. Dragon Gates are ki-based techinques. Their power comes from within, but never from without. For a while we all thought that somehow Reiki was amplifying Shin's power, but it actually was only helping him control it. The technique itself, the Dragon Eye, came from Shin's own 8th...

Ahh, but he was only relinquishing the copied ki to someone else, not 'burning a new copy' himself. He copied Zenki and Ono only after they had been beheaded.

And to answer your question, he certainly does, if one considers his general physique, the sun-bleached hair and stubble on his chin.

Er, I meant that after being dead for ~10 years, Yumemaru's corpse should have decomposed (apart from the bones and some bits of flesh). But the body is whole and doesn't look any different to when the dog died. That it hasn't decomposed is down to Souhaku's power, I'd say. Remember that Yumemaru h...

Yumemaru should have died ~10 years ago. So by now should be a collection of bones. But clearly the body is still intact. So I think that's Souhaku's power at work.
