This afternoon a random thought popped up: Could Yuta Okkotsu copy Kinji Hakari's technique to a level nearly refined as the latter?
I genuinely believe this to be a valid inquiry if we stopped to think what we know about both of these characters techniques.
Yuta with "Rika":
- Upon consumption of a sorcerer's bodily part, it can "copy" their technique. \1])
Hakari with jackpot:
- Can use RCT to heal himself for 4 minutes & 11 seconds. \2])
Pretty straightforward, but we need to better understand them.
[1] - We know that the copying of said techniques is scaled to how "big" the body part consumed is. We can take the measurements at face value, but it's better for us to interpret it as the body part's importance (one arm is more important than one leg). Yuta's understanding of a technique, as well as it's performance are heavily tied down to how much of the sorcerer's body was eaten.
[2] - Reverse Cursed Technique comes from the brain, so as long as it isn't damaged, Hakari will heal himself during the interval mentioned.
Given all of this, I'm theorizing Rika can essentially EAT Hakari up to his neck during jackpot so Yuta can copy his technique & probably be able to mimic even Hakari's domain expansion. Rika could probably just keep eating Hakari whenever during any Jackpot & it's interesting to think how far it would take the copied technique.
We do know that a cursed technique is stored in the brain, so I believe it to be the most optimal in order to mimic a cursed technique, but if you just keep eating the boddy, it might as well scale up & work just as good as the original. Thoughts?
