» Upgrading: Adding the following powers:

Medusa's Nest: After a long period of fasting and contemplation, Yaksha's control over his body has grown far greater, allowing his hair to move independently of the rest of his body, as if it were a second creature. Most often, Yaksha uses this to grab nearby items or attempt to disarm an opponent during a dangerous fight, allowing him to overwhelm and confuse an opponent through his myriad angles of attack.

Yamata-No-Orochi: By combining all of Yaksha's hairs together into an extra-dense layer, Yaksha can launch it at an opponent with great force, attempting to smash through whatever barriers stand between it and the opponent. The hairs themselves are relatively thin and brittle, doing little on their own, but when woven together tightly enough, the hair can puncture wounds as effectively as a dagger. If the hair does manage to get close enough to an opponent, and one of their wounds, it attempts to burrow deeper into the body, seeking out the nearest major organ and filling it with countless hair filaments, until it shuts down. Th hair will continue to seek out an ideal target so long as it remains attached to Yaksha's scalp, or until it is removed from the body itself, at which point it fervently attempts to find or make a new wound to enter through.

Sword of Kusanagi: Yaksha is able to pluck strands of hair as easily as one can pull leaves from a branch, and once plucked they quickly harden and elongate into blades that closely resemble rapiers. These weapons, thin and precise, are able to focus incredible piercing force into a small area, bypassing defenses such as Hierro with great effectiveness. Most importantly, any wounds left by the Sword leave small hair filaments in the wound; they lay dormant until an attempt to heal the wound is made, at which point they begin to burrow deeper into the surrounding muscular and skeletal structure, ripping open fresh wounds, and increasing the risk of infection. In the event the wound is healed effectively, the hairs still lie dormant, able to be yanked back out by Yaksha with force great enough to cause damage from within the target's own body.

» Why: Yaksha's hair existing as an entity unto itself has been referenced for at least a few threads, and it makes very much sense that he'd use it as an additional limb in a manner not unlike his tail as well. He also just recently hit 1-tier, so it seems appropriate his hair would choose now to start becoming fully prehensile, as opposed to just mobile.
