No reread the fight with Ishiyumi in chapter 9, Nagi opens the red dragon earth gate, and then it's explained that the power of the red dragon is Earth which is the leg so it's the red earth dragon that is eating his leg not the black 8th gate dragon. And his hair was black and he used the the drag...

From what I can tell, only the 8th gates of the main red feather clans require some price. So for Makiko, I'm quite sure it's due to the Dragon Fist that she lost her eye. It took her other arm after all--either because she couldn't handle the burden of canceling Nagi's berserk mode, or her body was...

You don't get it from the gates, everyone has ki and everyone has gates, but you don't get ki from gates. Tawara has never used a ki-based attack. I believe Makiko explains this perfectly. In the Nagi vs. Ishiyumi fight, she describes how powers are born. To put it simply (as if Makiko's explanatio...

My, my, my... The Maya vs. Aya really looks promising indeed. I hope it really turns out well. But Mitsuomi vs. Nagi? What the hell? Instead of Ishiyumi, Mitsuomi comes to fight Nagi--again? Looks like they're cutting this one really short. While I have some complaints regarding the animation qualit...

Everyone is attuned to one gate or the other. Maya's is Blue Belt Wood, Aya's - Orange Belt Water, and so on. It's just that some of the powers manifested through the gate are flashier that others... But mainly it's just a power coming out of the gate that can be used to "do stuff". How the "stuff"...

Well, in reality (sic!), the "gate" is just another word for chakra. Chakra "opening" techniques are just a method of opening yourself to a flow of chi (or ki, or whatever). The weird abilities are just the way Oh!great's universe people use the ki, but in actuality, all it is, is just a gate for k...

From what I understood from Mana's explanation (somewhere in vol.7), Mitsuomi's condition is a result of whatever Shin blasted into him. His increased heart rate and his increased metabolism give him fighting capabilities that are far beyond what is normal and what his body can normally endure. In o...

well I thought it was because mits absorbed too much of shin's ki that he is gradually dying. If so, it would make sense for nagi to be able to extract it because of the dragon fist. While it's not entirely impossible, it sounds just, well, too easy... Or too convenient all of a sudden. I don't kno...
