Capabilities[]

The user can amplify their cutting power by harnessing incredible speed, which significantly enhances the force and precision of their strikes. By moving at lightning-fast velocities, the user can deliver blows with an intensity far beyond what would be possible with raw strength alone. This enhanced speed allows the user to cut through even the toughest of materials, including bone, steel, and other hardened defenses, with ease.

When performing an attack, the user accelerates their movements to such an extent that the cutting edge of their weapon, or even their bare hands, moves at an almost imperceptible speed. The velocity of the strike adds a tremendous amount of kinetic energy, which is transferred directly into the target, causing the blade or strike to slice cleanly through with devastating force. The faster the user moves, the more momentum is generated, allowing them to break through barriers that would normally be impenetrable.

In addition to increasing cutting power, this speed-based enhancement also improves the user's ability to react and maneuver during combat. They can strike from multiple angles in the blink of an eye, making it difficult for opponents to anticipate or defend against their attacks. The combination of enhanced speed and cutting power makes the user an unstoppable force in battle, capable of overwhelming enemies before they even have a chance to react.
