Alrighty, now onto Juicy Flash, which like the third one is weirdly named, but let's not dwell on that. So similar to before, this Expertise path entails 3 passives and 2 actives.
Juicy Fruit (Passive): A specialized type of Bubblegum that builds on all of the user’s Yellow Gum. The effects of the flashbang can now blind Doujutsu and targets that are otherwise immune to blinding effects. Even closing one’s eyes does not prevent Juicy Flash from blinding a target. Juicy Fruit blinding effects last for two turns.
This is decent, as it can cause some annoyance to opponent's that do not have some form of extra sensory beyond their eyes, with it being effective on Dojutsu being also a good addition, especially as it lasts for 2 turns.
Yellow Flash Illusion (Active): A technique activated within the same timeframe as the user activating a Yellow Gum based Bubblegum Ninjutsu. This layers a B-Rank Genjutsu in with their technique, causing targets to experience a permanent flash of light blinding them within the illusion until released. This inflicts no damage and can be used three times per battle.
This is also decent, though the Genjutsu being B rank means it is not as effective on a bunch of bios, such as those with Passive Genjutsu Kai and whatnot, but I can see some usages when combining it with Juicy Fruit to have both illusionary and real flashes to annoy opponents.
Illusory Manipulations (Passive): An enhancement to the user’s Yellow Flash Illusion; allows the user’s B-Rank Genjutsu placed through Yellow Flash to also carry with it the ability for the user to launch illusory attacks within the illusion. This causes the blinding effect in the illusion to wear off as normal, but afterward the victim will see whatever attack the user wishes to show them. This causes the illusion to inflict 40 damage.
This one's pretty cool, as it can serve to confuse your enemy and put them in spots they don't want to be in, or simply steer them into acting in certain ways that would benefit you. With it being passive that's a nice little disturbance.
Rapid Flash (Active): Activated within the same timeframe as any Yellow Gum Bubblegum technique. Upon bursting a Yellow Gum Bubble the user will cause a series of three successive flashes of light. The first blinds all targets physically, the second passively applies Yellow Flash Illusion, and the third once again blinds targets. This in effect allows the target to be blinded for a period of four turns, rather than two. Can be activated four times per battle.
Well, talk about a lack of vision. Pretty direct and clear, but the thing with these flashes is that it only blocks off one sensory method, meaning those with other ways to sense wouldn't be as hindered, unless you explore those options through customs.
Deceptive Flash (Passive): Passively applied to any Bubblegum technique that uses Yellow Gum, this enhances the effects of Yellow Flash Illusion and Illusory Manipulations significantly. Raises the rank of the Yellow Flash Illusion to S-Rank, causes it to inflict 80 spiritual damage, and extends the effects of Juicy Fruit to five turns. Can be used three times per battle, once every four turns.
This is quite the buff, making the flashes way more annoying to deal with, but once again, those with different sensory methods have it easy.
