Limitations[]

  • Absorption Immunity/Absorption Negation
  • User can be overpowered by Omni-Absorption.
  • Anti Storage users are immune to this power (if it tries to keep them sealed/separate from/alive within the absorber).
  • May be limited to how much one can absorb.
  • May be limited to what one can absorb (such as organic over technological).
  • May have limited range, including touch only.
  • May not be protected from the damage caused by the absorbed substance/energy.
  • After absorbing something (for example, life-force or power etc.), it will probably be irreversible.
  • May not be able to take on the appearance of the one or many beings that are being absorbed by the opponent (I.E. Doma absorbing Shinobu Kocho in Demon Slayer, Super Buu absorbing Gotenks and Piccolo in Dragon Ball Z the said latter of which took on Piccolos' high intelligence rather than his appearance).
