Fighting Style And Blood Manipulation Technique, Explained
A Powerful Fighter Gifted With An Even More Powerful Cursed Technique
As a direct descendant of the Kamo Clan, Noritoshi inherited the powerful Blood Manipulation cursed technique which gives him the ability to control and manipulate his blood as a weapon. Not all sorcerers are able to acquire this cursed technique, as it is a rare and unique one. A couple of special attacks include - Piercing Blood, a move which turns his blood into a projectile which he can launch at enemies with precision similar to a gun. This is one of the most powerful moves whenusing a Blood Manipulation Technique. Crimson binding is another powerful move which Noritoshi uses to bind an opponent with the use of blood, this stops an enemy in its tracks temporarily. The Flowing Red Scale attack, allows Noritoshi to enhance his physical speed and strength by increasing the blood circulation in his body, making him more powerful and finally, Convergence - the ability to concentrate on his blood to make its density stronger.
Noritoshi’s fighting style is more tactical than brute force, unlike his peers such as Todo, Noritoshi fights with a calculated approach and assesses his opponents' weakness before engaging. He is also highly skilled at using his bow and arrows. The arrows are infused with his blood, allowing him to control the direction in which it travels. This form of attack is effective for long range attacks and is also seen during his battle with Megumi, where he launches and manipulates the direction of the arrows to target Megumi. However, Noritoshi also has a few weaknesses. He is unable touse his cursed techniquefor extended periods of time as he relies on his blood, and excessive use of his blood can make him feel weak. He also struggles against opponents who use brute force, such as Todo and Yuji, since his precision attacks are overcome by brute force easily.
