» Upgrading: Tier would be nice again if possible, trying to crack out of the 5-1 bracket. With a Kido and maybe Hoho upgrade also if possible. Takehiko has been training and growing with hard work. Showcasing skills against some enemies and even seeking out greater experience. I would also argue maybe a mental deduction and pain endurance increase, though it, not applicable I get it.

Wudang-an-han: Translating as 'Body and Soul', Wudan-an-han is a unique Martial Art Form that teaches the practitioners how best to direct their force. Interlining the concept of Reiki, the concept of internal energy, it allows for superior freedom on the battlefield and is also the stepping stone to Tai Chi. Wudang-an-han has several varying kata to slowly bring the user into the art of controlling one's energy distribution about the body. When learned, Wudang-an-han allows for the user to appear more powerful than they were before, to have discovered new strength in the forms. However, this is technically incorrect, as they are as strong as they were when they started, they simply are able to strike with pristine efficiency, losing nothing from their movements to the point of impact, and able to deliver a strike in its entirety without the loss of a single drop of force.

First Kata -The Breath of Life: Before controlling one's Reiki, they must be aware of its existence. This Kata introduces the pivotal breathing exercises and basic movements required to become aware of the energy within your own body. A mixture of slow, methodical movements and sudden, rapid strikes can be adapted to use in a fight, but the main use is to propagate the flow of Reiki and in doing so, eventually allow the user to become aware of it.

Amakakeru Tora no Hirameki - Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Tiger: This is the last flash step made by Tsubasa himself for fighting people. The user will assume a stance they find comfortable for quick movement. Performing a fast shot as they would normally use their quick step to close the distance. But instead of traveling at this speed they will do another step. Creating a second step within this movement to accelerate their speed even faster. Creating an extremely fast burst and impact when drawing the weapon if they do so. This technique doesn't require iaido to be performed. But does require immense skill in Hoho. It's not something everyone can do openly or effectively. This requires control and a natural skill for movement. More steps can be added if the user desires to accelerate even faster for a fight. But should be aware this will burn fuel quicker. This is a technique designed to be used within reason and with a calculated risk figured out beforehand. Adepts can learn the technique but would have to seek Tsubasa out in person. Each level they can add another step going like this, Adept gets 2, Advanced gets 3, Elite 4, Master 5, and Grandmaster 6. Tsubasa being the only known user is at six and able to create massive impacts when he decides to create more steps in it. This technique is likely his magnum opus as a speed user in this world. It's unlikely anything else he creates in the Hoho field will ever surpass the power to create more steps within. Making the user move quicker if they desire. However, despite the increase in speed, this doesn't mean it cannot be stopped. People can see through this if they are capable of doing so. Some can block it even with added steps in it. Speed is only useful if you use it correctly and wisely for those who seek it. This was and is likely the last step he will make for anything. He's done his due diligence for this world in creating his technology and now imparts an effect on the world of stepping to the best of him.



» Why: Takehiko's gained a bit since his previous upgrade having learned from Ulv among other things. Developing into a more refined Vizard as time has passed. Learning techniques from book entries without the help of his uncle. Figuring out the code but also quickly realizing his ambition to be a great healer now. Starting to study kido more efficiently and take things more seriously in that regard. I will list the threads below in order to the best of my memory in effect. In a few threads, he did begin using it in training and live combat.
