Description: The user focuses and channels copious amounts of Bakuton chakra throughout their entire body causing the user’s very form to manifest the properties of pure Bakuton chakra. The result is the user’s body, not simply their skin, will turn into raw explosive energy. The explosive energy manifests itself as a dark bloody crimson expanding throughout the user. This technique, in essence, causes the user to transform into a living bomb. Vestments of Divine Imperials provides inherent natural defenses through this transformation. However, despite what this technique suggests, this does not cause the user to become a suicide bomb. The basic defenses provided by Vestments of Divine Imperials is essentially a reactive armor taking on the properties of an explosion while also allowing the user, because of the very nature of their body, to become immune to their own explosions. The reactive defense provided by Vestments causes opposing techniques, within elemental weaknesses and strengths, to strike the user’s body and produce a reactive natural explosion. The explosions produced act as a natural defense enabling the user to neutralize invading forces. These explosions, due to their neutralizing nature, will reflect the size, speed, and power of the invading force. Because of the user’s incredible control enabled by Vestments of Divine Imperials they will be able to decide entirely at their volition whether objects which strike them will be met by an explosion or not. This only applies to objects which the user has awareness of. Objects and forces which strike the user unknowingly will be naturally met by an explosion of the above set proportions whether according to the user’s will or not. Because the user effectively transforms and converts his body into raw explosive energy he sheds certain traits of his biological body. No longer can the user suffer from pain, rendering them unable to use pain to release from illusionary techniques. Additionally, the user can no longer suffer from the biological effects of poisons, yet certain corrosive agents can still harm the user’s explosive form in some ways if not able to be overpowered by the explosion. However, the user is also vulnerable to Lightning Release techniques due to their unique interactions with Explosion Release. In essence Lightning Release is able to diffuse explosions effectively resulting in the paralysis of the user should he or she be struck. This technique enables the user to defend against S-Ranks and below of neutral elements (A-Ranks and below for weaknesses, F-Ranks and below for strengths). If the user is struck by an attack weaker than their transformation, their explosive form will not weaken or decrease in power at all. If the user is struck with an attack that will neutralize their transformation, the two cancel one another out and the user reverts to their original form unharmed. If the user is struck with an attack that overpowers their transformation, the user's body reverts to it's original form and sustains the remaining damage (after the collision of techniques). Aside from this the user’s ability to weave hand seals, mold chakra, and otherwise all abilities prior to their conversion remain normal. However, while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active the user is only able to use Bakuton and the elements which compose it, their primary elemental affinity and any CEs based on these elements as well as non-elemental abilities. Vestments of Divine Imperials lasts for four turns and can be used twice per battle. On the turn this technique expires the user is unable to produce Lightning, Earth, or Explosive techniques above S-Rank in the same turn. Additionally, upon expiration the user’s body is returned back to its normal biological state. Due to the conversion the user’s base speed will be reduced by 2 levels one turn thereafter. Explosions which occur from the user’s body, voluntarily or not, happen passively but cost one of the user’s three moves per turn. Seals and items otherwise on the user's body during their transformation retain their normal abilities. Body seals will become inscribed as explosive energy in their normal positions.

Description: Potentate Proclamation is designed to be used while the Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. This technique allows for the user to manipulate on going explosions on the battlefield by infusing their Bakuton chakra into the explosion. The explosion, while still active, will be absorbed into the user’s Vestment state allowing for it to be seamlessly integrated into their explosive body. In essence, this technique acts to extend the duration on Vestments of Divine Imperials by integrating additional energy into the form. Thus, for each B or A Rank explosion consumed by Potentate Proclamation, Vestments of Divine Imperials will be extended by two turns. Should the user consume an S or Forbidden Rank explosion they will be capable of extending Vestments by an additional three turns. Of course, while this technique is used the user will have effectively ended the explosion in question neutralizing it entirely themselves by integrating it into their body. Because this technique simply acts to infuse an explosion it will take little to no time at all allowing for smooth transitioning between techniques. Alternatively, Potentate Proclamation can be applied to absorb semi-sentient Explosive familiars. This application allows the user to integrate the familiar’s abilities into the user’s body; this effectively voids the sustained chakra cost of the familiar. Upon expiration of this technique this will cause the separation of user and familiar. By consuming sentient creations Potentate Proclamation effectively binds their duration to Vestments of Divine Imperials. Thus, if a familiar is absorbed and will remain on the field for two more turns while Vestments will remain active for three turns then the familiar will remain absorbed and active until Vestments expires. Potentate Proclamation can be used three times per battle and will remain active until Vestments of Divine Imperials expires.

Description: This technique is considered to be the sibling technique of Potentate Proclamation and is designed to be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials, or its lesser variants, is active. This technique specializes in sealing, unlike that of Potentate Proclamation, creating a living chakra vessel from the user’s explosive form. Unlike Potentate Proclamation this technique does not extend the duration of Vestments of Divine Imperials through the transfer and integration of energy and chakra. Instead Luminary’s Edict focuses on the alternative application of Potentate Proclamation – the sealing of sentient familiars and the adoption of their abilities. Luminary’s Edict takes into account the ‘size’ of the consumed familiar. However, because this is applied to familiars which are purely chakra based the physical size of the familiar is not taken into account because chakra does not occupy space in the normal sense. Luminary’s Edict instead focuses on the density of chakra, meaning the strength of the technique. As such, familiars which are higher ranked than the user’s transformed state will be consumed allowing for the user to adopt the abilities of the familiar as well as the strength of familiar. For example, should the user’s transformed state be equivalent to A-Rank and an S-Rank familiar is consumed then the user’s explosive state will increase by a single effective rank. Because the user’s body becomes the vessel for the familiar it will be homogenous with the user’s body preventing the external separation of the two. Familiars consumed by Luminary’s Edict have their chakra cost effectively voided for the duration. The familiars which are consumed will also bind their duration to the user’s transformed state accepting the longer of the two durations. When the user’s transformed state ends the consumed familiar(s) will unbind themselves seamlessly from the user’s body. The sealing happens incredibly quickly allowing Luminary's Edict to be used within the same timeframe as the creation of a familiar that it will consume and seal. Luminary’s Edict can be used three times per battle and will remain active until Vestments of Divine Imperials, or a lesser variation, expires.

Description: Imperial Authority is designed to only be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. Applying the user’s Explosive energy state the user becomes able to shape their body into anything which suits their needs at the given moment. The technique can produce appendages of varying shapes and sizes to be used as weapons to strike an opponent. Authority can go as far as allowing the user to shape their body into whatever form comes from their imagination as long as the size does not exceed twice their original form. When Vestments of Divine Imperials is deactivated or expires the user’s form will revert to its original shape and size. Reverting to the user’s original form with this technique requires the user use one of their three moves per turn. Imperial Authority can be used four times per battle.

Description: Imperial Majesty is a highly versatile Explosion Release technique to be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. Applying the user’s explosive energy state he or she will produce explosions at any point on their body enabling them to be propelled against the air in the direction of their choosing. The explosions are highly versatile in nature allowing for the user to shape and manipulate them upon creation effectively negating recoil and preventing damage by angling the explosions outwards while also determining their width. The explosions, as previously mentioned, will propel the user against the air allowing for the user to take evasive measures in order to avoid techniques within logical reason and speed. Alternatively, this technique can be used to propel the user and then be sustained enabling for a limited form of flight/levitation by setting off a small chain reaction of explosions at the chosen location on the user’s body. The chain of explosions used to sustain this technique is maintained by passively draining the user’s chakra over time. When Imperial Majesty is used offensively or defensively the user can instead apply the propulsion against a living body or opposing technique, respecting elemental weaknesses and strengths. The explosion will act to propel the user in the opposite direction of the targeted body inflicting A-Rank damage. Imperial Majesty can be used four times per battle.

Description: The first of the techniques awakened during Avenger's maddening rampage; it represents his ever growing celestial rage. This technique can only be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. While in their explosive state the user will activate Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven by focusing Bakuton chakra throughout their entire form. This technique causes the user’s body to become akin to that of a star – the very energy that illuminates the heavens and bestows the emperor’s reign with absolute legitimacy and power. In essence, this technique allows the user’s power to become akin to that of a star themselves; they will begin to barbarically consume energy at irrational rates in order to fuel their power by consuming the user’s own explosions on the battlefield through complex manipulation akin to Potentate Proclamation. Explosions which are produced freeform, such as explosive tags, will be consumed passively. While explosions made from techniques will be consumed actively, at the cost of a move. The consumption of explosions and their energy trigger a reaction within the user’s body similar to how a star produces its energy and fuels the reactions within its core by converting the power of the explosion into essential fuel. As the user consumes additional explosions on the battlefield and integrates them into his or her body their explosive form, which initially in its Vestments state begins as a dark crimson, will progressively brighten similar to that of a luminous star. Their luminescence is easily compared to that of a main sequence star beginning at Class M, or red/crimson, to Class A. Class A stars are essentially white in nature being extremely bright. This passive luminescence enhancement, while remarkably beautiful, holds an ability identical to that of Imperial Radiance allowing the user’s Explosion Release techniques to manipulate the natural light of their explosions and produce a flash bomb-like effect. The mechanics behind this ability work identically to how Imperial Radiance itself works – manipulating the natural light produced by the explosion very much akin to a generic flash bomb. The color of the flash produced will mimic the user’s current state, anywhere in the range between Class M and Class A purely depending on the number of explosions consumed; although this variance is purely cosmetic working to blind the victim regardless of the user’s current level of luminescence. The consumption and rapid conversion of the user’s explosions also serves a secondary purpose. Through this ability the user becomes able to considerably bolster their offensive capabilities of their explosions. For each Explosion technique consumed by Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven the user will effectively increase their Explosion Release techniques by +20 damage up to S rank. The user, however, is only able to absorb one explosion per turn and at the cost of a move. These explosions will mimic the user’s luminosity and radiance – becoming highly luminescent at their apex. Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven will last until Vestments of Divine Imperials expires. For example, should Vestments of Divine Imperials remain active for three turns then this technique will persist until it expires. If Vestments will remain active for its full four turns then this technique will remain active for the same duration. When Vestments of Divine Imperials expires the user will collapse due to the sheer quantities of energy that their explosion state produced. The user’s body will swiftly reduce in luminosity and then expire completely, causing the user’s death, suffering 70 damage. Whether the technique is ended prematurely or not, it results in the users' death.

Description: The second of the techniques awakened during Avenger’s maddening rampage; it represents the absolute laws of light. This technique can only be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. Celestial Avulsion, Law of Light is considered an advanced application and variant of Imperial Majesty revolving primarily around the usage of explosions in order to propel the user against the air, targets, or techniques. Celestial Avulsion, Law of Light acts as the opposite of Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven. Instead of the user consuming energy at irrational rates the user will instead expel energy. Reflecting this, the technique is initiated through focusing Explosive chakra throughout the user’s explosive form. The immediate result is a dramatic omnidirectional S-Rank Explosion spanning short-range from the user’s position. This explosion reflects the avulsion of matter and energy from the user’s explosive form much like the formation of a Neutron Star. As this occurs the user’s body will begin to react with interactions with physical matter and opposing forces allowing the user to produce explosions from their body which propel them at their volition. This propulsion operates exactly like Imperial Majesty – they are highly versatile and can be created anywhere on the user’s body allowing them to propel them against the air in the direction of their choosing. Due to the sheer amount of energy the explosions will propel the user’s sprinting speed thrice their base. These explosions can be produced through two separate methods. The first is by passively producing the explosions against matter or opposing forces. This method allows the user to propel themselves at the aforementioned speed and produce a sustained form of flight. This cannot be used to evade techniques throughout its duration aside from the turn it is activated in. The second method is by actively producing explosions from the user’s form. These explosions mirror the speed of the passively produced Explosions but will also possess S-Rank strength. Like the explosions created in Imperial Majesty this technique allows the user to produce explosions that can be used to propel themselves against opposing techniques or targets, respecting elemental strengths and weaknesses and can be actively used to produce propulsion to evade techniques as well. Celestial Avulsion, Law of Light will last until Vestments of Divine Imperials expires. When Vestments of Divine Imperials expires the user will suffer from the sheer quantities of energy expelled. This results in a decrease of three levels in the user's base speed. The user will be unable to use S-Rank or above techniques or A-Rank or higher Explosion Release for 3 turns.

Description: Minister’s Bureaucracy is an Explosion Release technique designed to infuse explosive tags with the user’s Bakuton chakra. This technique has two different applications – that of applied freeform explosive tags and that of ninjutsu based techniques which apply paper tags in order to inflict damage. In the case of freeform explosive tags the user is able to infuse a single, or multiple explosive tags, with their Bakuton chakra in order to increase the power of the explosion as well as their ability to manipulate the explosion. In the case of the increased power this technique will allow for a D - S ranked infusion capable of varying levels of destruction. For infusions at D to B-Rank the explosive tags in question will be capable of delivering an explosion reflecting their rank in damage spanning over short-range around them. For explosive tags infused with Bakuton chakra at A-Rank the explosions produced will be capable of inflicting A-Rank damage and spanning over mid-range around them. For S-Rank applications of this technique produce enormous explosions capable of reaching into mid-range from the explosive tag, able to deliver enormous amounts of damage equivalent to S-Rank in the afflicted area. If multiple explosive tags are infused with Bakuton chakra their total strength will reflect the degree of chakra applied. As such, if four explosive tags are thrown and infused at B-Rank strength then each will possess D-Rank strength, collectively B-Rank.
This second application of this technique allows the user to infuse Bakuton chakra into ninjutsu techniques applying explosive tags to inflict damage. This second application of Minister’s Bureaucracy will increase the chakra cost of the technique it is applied to by 10. In the case of this application the rank applied will be equivalent to the ninjutsu technique and produce an enhanced explosion resulting in an increase of +20 damage to the technique in question. For example, if Falling Paper Bomb is used then the technique will become Bakuton natured. It will also gain a bonus 20 damage from the increased power of the explosions created. Both applications of Minister’s Bureaucracy will produce explosions that are naturally angled away from the user thus preventing damage and negating recoil. Because of the nature of Minister’s Bureaucracy it essentially can be performed in the same timeframe due to its infusion nature.
Both applications of Minister’s Bureaucracy follow the same restrictions allowing for this technique to be used a total of five times per battle regardless of application. In terms of restrictions for the first application, S-Rank applications can only be used twice per battle and the user must wait a two turn cooldown in between applications. S-Rank applications count toward the total five applications of this technique. Both applications require the user use one of their three moves per turn.

Description: This technique allows for the user to infuse Explosive chakra into objects composed of solid matter (Earth/Earth CE, weapons not including Custom Weapons, and not including organics). When the object in question either strikes an opposing object or force it will explode at the initial point of contact. Mandate of Heaven essentially allows the user to convert any physical object he pleases into a latent bomb. Should the user apply this technique to ninja tools or objects void of chakra the explosion produced would be roughly equivalent to that of an average explosive tag. Should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into a supplementary technique then the damage inflicted will be equivalent to the rank of the technique. For example, should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into Earth Shelter Technique then the shelter will explode dealing damage equivalent to B-Rank. An inherent weakness of the Mandate of Heaven is that this technique cannot be applied at long ranges. It can only be applied to techniques, tools, and such that are in close-range of the user or the objects in their direct possession. It cannot however be used upon anything on the opponent's person. Techniques which are created by the user allows for the infusion to occur within the same timeframe as the jutsu which Mandate of Heaven is applied to. Alternatively, the user can apply a single confrontation hand seal causing a premature explosion in the object in question, voiding the need for immediate physical contact or allowing the explosion to remain latent despite physical contact. This requires the user be aware of the clash, however. The explosions produced by Mandate of Heaven are naturally angled away from the user preventing damage from the explosion as well as negating recoil. Mandate of Heaven can be used five times per battle.

Description: This technique is considered the close counterpart of Mandate of Heaven. Like Mandate of Heaven, this technique allows the user to infuse matter purely solid in composition (Earth/Earth CE, weapons not including Custom Weapons, and not including organics) with Explosive chakra within short-range of the user. However, unlike Mandate of Heaven this does not produce a latent bomb. Instead, the object in question will have the entirety of its form converted into dark crimson Explosive chakra essentially converting it into pure Explosive energy after it is produced. For example, should an Earth technique be used the earth technique will emerge from the ground as normal and then immediately be converted by Mandate of Hell. The objects in question can either retain their form or lose their form allowing for a versatile reshaping at the user’s discretion depending on their needs at the time. As such, a kunai converted into raw Explosive chakra will retain its form as a kunai or be reshaped into a small sword or simple sphere of Explosive chakra. The converted object(s) will remain inert until they detonate against opposing object or force. The user can also choose to keep the energy inert when coming in contact with other objects. This requires the user be aware of the interaction, however. When used on multiple objects void of chakra their Explosive power will collectively be equivalent to B-Rank strength. For example, should four kunai be converted by this technique each kunai will assume D-Rank strength, collectively B-Rank. Alternatively, this technique can be applied to the user’s matter-based techniques (listed above). In this case the technique will assume the damage equivalent to its rank, instead of Mandate of Hell. Should a technique which produces multiple objects be converted it will take the same logic as if this technique was applied to multiple objects. Explosions produced will be proportional to the size of the object converted. These explosions are naturally angled away from their user in order to prevent damage and negate recoil. Techniques which possess sentience, like Stone Golems or other familiar type techniques, will be able to retain their sentient abilities after conversion preventing their deactivation. Additionally, Mandate of Hell can be used to convert existing techniques of the opponents, falling under the restrictions of this technique, as long as they are completely overpowered and within range of this technique. As such, Mandate of Hell is able to convert Earth techniques equivalent to its rank or Earth based techniques one rank lower than it. Due to the nature of this technique Mandate of Hell can be used within the same timeframe as the technique to which it is applied to. Mandate of Hell can be used three times per battle and requires a one turn cooldown in between applications. Mandate of Hell cannot be used on anything on the opponent's person (e.g. their clothes, weapons in their grasp, etc).

Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 15 – 40 (-10 per turn)
Damage: 30 – 80
Description: This technique allows the user to produce Explosive chakra from their body or within short-range around their location. The chakra typically will take an orange, yellow, or crimson color in its form; although this color characteristic is largely cosmetic and can be influenced by external techniques which influence light or coloration in explosions. The Explosive chakra can be shaped and formed in accordance to the user’s wishes. Like all Explosion Release techniques the chakra will detonate when coming in contact with an opposing force or solid matter. Alternatively the user can keep the chakra inert allowing it to interact with matter and forces without detonating. This requires the user to be aware of the interaction though. The explosions produced by Imperial Armament can be angled away from the user’s position to negate damage and recoil. A and S-Rank applications of this technique require the use of ten chakra per turn for their sustainment. S-Rank explosions produced by Armament create an explosion spanning mid-range from its impact location. The user is also capable of producing multiple objects through the usage of Imperial Armament; their collective strength always being equivalent to the applied rank. S-Rank applications can be used three times per battle and cannot be used in consecutive turns. When the S-Rank version is used, no S-Rank or above Blast Release techniques in the user's next turn.

Description: Imperial Radiance is an uncharacteristically passive and tame technique compared to the nature of Explosion Release. This technique, instead of aiding in spreading further destruction, aids in tactical applications to cause confusion to opposing forces. Through the use of Bakuton chakra the user is capable of manipulating explosions which they will produce over the next three turns. This added manipulation allows the user to cause the inferno produced by the explosions to manipulate the natural light of the battlefield and explosion causing the explosions to work similarly to flash bombs. The radius of the affected area varies depending on the power and size of the explosion. Essentially, explosions which extend to short range will be capable of blinding those within mid-range. Thus the technique is capable of causing a flash within one range higher than the explosion itself. Of course, in the case of long-range explosions this matters little. While this technique is active the user is able to determine whether an explosion will produce a flash. The blinding effects of an explosion under Imperial Radiance simply last for the duration equivalent to that of an average flash bomb. Because the explosions occur at the user’s volition they are able to briefly close their eyes and time it with the flash of light in order to prevent their own blinding. Imperial Radiance can be used three times per battle and lasts for three turns.

Description: A type of activated infusion technique designed to manipulate specialized Fire Release techniques. The user will instantly activate this technique which allows them to infuse their Explosion chakra into a Fire Release natured technique which can cause explosive damage. This technique effectively creates a Fire/Explosion combination through the infusion allowing for the explosion produced by the aforementioned Fire techniques to become Bakuton natured. Techniques influenced by this infusion will retain their weakness to Water Release while gaining an effective strength against Earth Release, due to the nature of Explosion Release. Additionally, the technique will forfeit its neutrality with lightning becoming naturally weak to it. Because of the highly specialized nature of this technique it can only be applied to Fire techniques which cause Explosive damage, such as Fire Release: Hellfire Technique or Great Blaze Ball. It will have no effect on techniques consisting of regular non-explosive/volatile fire. When activated this technique will last for three turns; Rage of the Firelands can be used three times per battle and can be deactivated instantly according to the user’s will.

Description: Through direct contact with a solid surface the user will focus their Explosive chakra into it causing it to diffuse evenly throughout the applied surface. The Explosive chakra will quickly diffuse up to mid-range from the user’s initial location lacing the terrain with chakra unbeknownst to opponents lacking special capabilities, like Doujutsu or Sensory. In its diffused state this technique offers no direct offensive potential simply acting to lace the terrain with Explosive chakra essentially marking the surface as the Emperor’s domain. Domain of the Emperor will passively drain 10 chakra per turn from its user allowing in order to be sustained. While active the opponent will be unable to use Earth Release techniques which emerge from the ground. Domain of the Emperor essentially emulates its natural oppressive ability through this lacing of Explosive chakra. Alternatively, this technique can be used to converge the diffused chakra into a single location by pooling it beneath a targeted location. This convergence can be performed immediately upon initiation of this technique, at the cost of a single move, or can be performed after the diffused chakra has been laced into the surface, costing an additional move. The explosion produced by this alternative application will cause the earth to rupture beneath the targeted location which can encompass all of short-range from its location. The rupturing will be proceeded by the normal rumbling sound accompanied by all average earth techniques followed by an immediate explosion. The explosion will both carry with it the normal heat and force as well as the ruptured earth, forming a highly effective blunt and sharp shrapnel. When the convergence application is used this will effectively end Domain of the Emperor and require the user use this technique again in order to lace chakra into the earth. Domain of the Emperor can be used twice per battle and lasts four turns per application or until it is sacrificed to produce an explosion. While active the user is unable to use techniques other than Explosion Release, the elements which compose it, their primary elemental affinity, and non-elemental techniques.

Description: This technique can only be used while Domain of the Emperor is active allowing the user to passively activate this innate ability. Mandate of Earth essentially allows solid-based matter and techniques (Earth/Earth CE, not including other shinobi, etc) to become infused with Explosive chakra. However, unlike its sibling techniques Hell and Heaven the Mandate of Earth, through the Domain of the Emperor, infuses these solid-based techniques beyond short-range of the user by utilizing the diffused Explosive chakra latent in the surface it was infused to. This essentially allows the user to convert any physical object he pleases into a latent bomb. Should the user apply this technique to ninja tools or objects void of chakra the explosion produced would be equivalent to an average explosive tag. Should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into a supplementary technique then the damage inflicted will be equivalent to the rank of the technique For example, should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into Earth Shelter Technique then the shelter will explode dealing damage equivalent to B-Rank. The Mandate of Earth can only be applied to techniques and matter within the Domain of the Emperor. Like the Domain this technique comes with an audible tell – the earth will rumble dramatically moments prior to detonation. Mandate of Earth cannot be used upon anything on the opponent’s person. When the object in question either strikes an opposing object or force it will explode at the initial point of contact. Alternatively, the user can void the need for contact by causing a premature explosion in the object in question. This can also allow the user to keep the object inert until a time of their choosing but requires the user be aware of any interaction. Explosions produced by the Mandate of Earth can have their directionality manipulated allowing for the negation of recoil and damage. Mandate of Earth can be used twice and will remain active for the duration of the Domain of the Emperor.

Description: Celestial Retribution is an advanced technique employing the creation of the Coat of Arms of the Emperor. The technique is initiated through a surge of chakra throughout the user’s body to produce a familiar composed of entirely Explosive chakra on their chest. The familiar takes the form of the Civic Crown of the Emperor, his coat of arms. The familiar is imbued, through a passive consumption of the user’s chakra, a limited form of sentience. While the Civic Crown is unable to move from the user’s body it is able to act independently of the user and free his concentration on the technique. The Civic Crown acts to mark the sacred property of the Emperor and carry out the punishment upon those who attempt to steal it. To carry out this sacred task the Civic Crown employs an advanced form of Fūinjutsu. In order for the Emperor to mark his property the technique adds an additional dimension of shape manipulation through an infusion of chakra; this is done by passively consuming the user’s chakra and infusing it independently of the user into techniques at his volition. The added manipulation will in effect ‘inscribe’ the Kanji for ‘Exalted’ in the user’s Explosion Release techniques while also causing the color of the Explosion to shift becoming a dark crimson; although this coloration is largely cosmetic and can be shifted through the use of other techniques which influence light or coloration. When used on raw Explosion Release techniques, such as Explosive energy, malefic infernos, or simple explosions, this technique will create the Kanji in the body of the Explosion itself, always in the direct view of the opponent. Alternatively, this infusion can be used alongside Mandate of Heaven, Hell, and their variants. When used in conjunction with Mandate of Hell the Kanji will be initially inscribed in the solid body of the matter it is applied upon and then remain inscribed as it converts itself into Explosive energy. When used with Mandate of Heaven the solid matter which is infused will gain the inscription upon it. In its simplest form the infusion produces a highly malleable, intangible, and transparent barrier within the Explosion. Because of its malleability and intangibility the barrier can easily shape itself to fit the Explosion and its contents and will proactively shape itself as the explosion expands into its apex or changes shape. The barrier itself offers little in normal elemental interactions and does not inherently increase the strength of the Explosion Release technique it is applied to. However, the barrier, much like the barrier found in Sealing Technique: Abhorrence, acts to protect the Emperor’s techniques against specialized sealing/absorptive natured abilities. Against these techniques which employ an ethereal state of chakra draining, absorptive, or sealing qualities advanced Fūinjutsu or otherwise, the barrier will make its abilities known in order to protect the Emperor’s sacred Explosions. These abilities include Dark Release Absorption, advanced Fūinjutsu, and abilities which consume chakra such as specialized Water Release. The first ability mimics that found in Sealing Technique: Abhorrence. It will directly prevent the sealing or absorption of the user’s and is able to repel S-Rank and below techniques which attempt to seal or absorb the user’s techniques. The second ability is the barrier’s ability to issue a punishment to those who attempt to steal the Emperor’s property. While preventing the user’s techniques from being sealed this technique will instead release a portion of the user’s chakra to initiate the punishment. Those techniques which perform their absorption will instead be met by an infusion of the user’s chakra which causes the opponent’s chakra system to gain explosive like tendencies. The result is the opponent’s very chakra system will begin to ‘explode’ causing the destruction of 50 chakra per turn while also causing severe pain. The pain which the opponent experiences is equivalent to the pain required to shatter an A-Ranked illusion; stabbing one’s self in a minor muscle, cutting one’s self, breaking small bones, etc. Thus, it is a nuisance to experience in heated combat. The rank of the infection is equivalent to the rank of the Explosion Release technique used and requires a full body surge in equivalent rank to shatter.
Celestial Retribution can be used once per battle and when used the Civic Crown will remain on the field for a maximum of four turns. Due to its nature this technique is activated instantly and infusions occur within the same timeframe as the technique they are applied to. Alone, the familiar cannot move independently of the user and will remain static on his chest.

Description: This technique is considered the brother technique to Celestial Retribution and, like its sibling, employs an advanced combination of Fūinjutsu and Explosion Release. This technique emulates the Emperor’s command over the physical world and inevitability. The user will release Explosive chakra from throughout the user’s entire body producing the semi-sentient Crest of the Emperor, the Civic Crown, adorned to his chest. Like in Celestial Retribution, the Civic Crown remains dependent on the user’s body and cannot move alone but, due to its sentience, remains independent from the user’s concentration. The Civic Crown possesses a single ability – to create spheres of Explosive chakra roughly equivalent to the size of a fist each imbued with the Emperor’s heavenly will and sustained by the Civic Crown itself. By default each sphere is imbued with the abilities of the Mandate of Hell. As such, when coming into contact with solid matter (KG/CE included) they are able to convert that matter into Explosive chakra. When used on an opponent’s technique this requires the opponent’s technique be completely overpowered within elemental strengths and weaknesses. For example, should an A-Rank sphere come into contact with an A-Rank Earth technique it will consume the sphere and convert the Earth technique into Explosive chakra. However, should an A-Rank sphere come into contact with a B-Rank construct of Earth it will still convert the technique into Explosive chakra but also preserve the sphere. The spheres themselves take on a physical state; the state which rules over the material world. Each orb, typically crimson in color, will possess inherently high volatility and as such will explode on contact with matter or an opposing force producing an explosion spanning mid-range from the orb’s location engulfing anything within it. This explosive ability does not come without control and, through the user’s will, can prevent the orbs from detonating allowing them to remain inert but will require the user to be aware of an interaction. Because of this the user is able to also cause a premature detonation voiding the need for contact. The orbs are inherently highly versatile constructs and can be shaped to the user’s needs after creation however they would like. Alternatively the spheres can be used to extend the abilities of the Mandate of Hell upon sentient familiars through Fūinjutsu. When used as such the spheres will present themselves with the Kanji for “Inevitability” in the frame of view of the opponent. This sealing inscription within the sphere is purposed to be used against elemental/non-elemental sentient creations. When used against these techniques the sealing script’s full strength is revealed as it becomes capable of sealing the metaphysical link between user and familiar, thus rendering the familiar at the command of the user. The converted familiar will lose its original natural abilities while being converted into raw Explosive chakra. When used against familiars of neutral or greater strength the sphere will be consumed in order to bend the familiar to the user’s will. When used against familiars weaker in strength the sphere will be preserved. When used in this manner the spheres will not cause a detonation and instead remain inert. The converted familiar’s potential explosive strength equal's the rank of the orb used to convert it. The “Inevitability” seal is considered A-Rank.
This technique can be used once per battle. The Crest will remain active for four turns during which a minimum of two spheres will be created, maximum of four, at any time on the battlefield. The initial two spheres created will be S-Rank in strength each and should they be divided further will be equivalent to A-Rank spheres. Using the spheres requires the user expend one of their three moves per turn, except in the first turn of creation. Reshaping the orbs to fit the user’s needs is performed passively and their maximum reshaped size cannot exceed the user’s. Restoring a lost orb can be done at the cost of a move and an additional 20 chakra. The passive abilities imbued by the Mandate of Hell cannot be used against living shinobi or summons. They will be employed at the user’s volition should an explosion not be desired. The sealing script can only be used against elemental/non-elemental familiars and can seal the metaphysical relationship regardless of rank or strength as long as contact with the familiar is made. However, should the user desire, they can simply produce an explosion against an opposing familiar instead of applying the seal. When Ananke, Heavenly Compulsion expires the user will suffer from a hindering full body pain. This effectively causes the user to suffer from 40 damage and have their base speed reduced by 2 effective levels for 2 turns. Additionally, the user will be unable to use Explosion Release, Lightning Release, or Earth Release techniques above A-Rank for 3 turns.

Description: The Twin Evils are a pair of reverse grip weapons fashioned from ancient crimson and black metals in the shape of a mix between a beast’s fang and claws. The Twin Evils, as they are more commonly known, are appropriately named Tawich, the Left Fang Grinder, and Zarich, the Right Fang Grinder. Tawich and Zarich’s origins remain in obscurity. Likely the pair was forged during a long forgotten era of brutality and savagery – where war and slaughter were the norm and peace was a rarity. Traditionally the pair is used as sword-breakers acting to stop and catch an opponent’s blade in close quarters combat and to swiftly rend flesh in response. Alternatively the Twin Evils can be used as simple throwing weapons akin to daggers whipped at opponents at high speeds to pierce and rend flesh from a distance. Beyond their basic ability to act as freeform weapons both of the twins possess a certain innate ability – camouflage. Both Zarich and Tawrich act to protect themselves from unwanted attention. Because of their crimson and black metal nature the combination of the two acts to blend perfectly with Avenger’s typical clothing and body tattoos. As such, passively, when sheathed against Avenger’s body both will become concealed from sight and appear as a simple continuation of the tattoos and glyphs which litter Avenger. Users with advanced eyesight, such as Doujutsu, are able to easily perceive the minute differences of the blades against the user’s body. Additionally, both blades possess and offer their own unique skills; one to empower the user’s Explosions with hatred and one to preserve them. Given the nature of the Twin Evils, only Avenger, Angra Mainyu, may wield this unique weapon.
Tawrich, the Left Fang Grinder; Tawrich’s ability revolves around the principle of focusing the user’s emotions, more specifically their hatred. It is an inherently passive ability in its nature acting as a second dimension of manipulation to all of the user’s Explosion Release techniques by infusing them with the user’s overwhelming hatred. As such, the user’s Bakuton chakra teems with pure hatred directed toward the world and allows for far more violent and malefic explosions. Tawrich in essence produces explosions which are inherently brutally crimson and far more malevolent in their nature. Their potential to burn and produce concussive damage becomes far greater with this increase. Tawrich’s Hatred Enhancement comes with the ability to increase the power of all of the user’s Explosion Release techniques, up to and including A-Rank, by one rank. S-Rank and above techniques gain the added benefit of being increased by 10 damage.
Zarich, the Right Fang Grinder; Zarich’s ability revolves around the principle of chain reactions and explosions. Zarich enables the user to manipulate existing and ongoing explosions by infusing their Bakuton chakra within them. The infused chakra acts to initiate much smaller explosions within the body of the initial triggering a sequence of reactions and producing a positive feedback mechanism within the initial explosion, allowing for multiple small explosions to occur. The smaller explosions produced aim to replace the expended energy of the main initial explosion. This in essence allows techniques which it is applied to require being overpowered entirely to be destroyed allowing for a sort of pseudo explosive regenerative process. Because the smaller explosions simply replace the expended energy Zarich’s ability does not enhance the power, size, or shape of the explosion at all. It simply acts to maintain the explosion in its produced state of power requiring that it be overpowered entirely to be destroyed, allowing it to last until the infusion is voided. Zarich’s ability passively siphons the user’s chakra at the rate of 15 chakra per turn in order to sustain the chain reaction. Zarich’s abilities can only be applied to a single explosion, requiring one of the user's three moves, on the battlefield at a time and requires the user reuse this ability to apply it to a different explosion. It can be used a maximum of three times per battle and cannot be used in consecutive turns.

Description: This technique is considered the daughter technique of the Mandate of Heaven. This technique allows the user to infuse Explosive chakra into objects composed of solid matter (Earth/Earth CE, weapons not including Custom Weapons, and not including organics, etc). When the object in question either strikes an opposing object or force it will explode at the initial point of contact. Heaven’s Directive essentially allows the user to convert any physical object he pleases into a latent bomb. Should the user apply this technique to ninja tools or objects void of chakra the explosion produced would be roughly equivalent to that of an average explosive tag. Should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into a supplementary technique then the damage inflicted will be equivalent to the rank of the technique. For example, should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into Earth Shelter Technique then the shelter will explode dealing damage equivalent to B-Rank. An inherent weakness of the Mandate of Heaven is that this technique cannot be applied at long ranges. It can only be applied to techniques, tools, and such that are in close-range of the user or the objects in their direct possession. It cannot however be used upon anything on the opponent's person. Alternatively, the user cause a premature explosion in the object in question, voiding the need for immediate physical contact or allowing the explosion to remain latent despite physical contact. This requires the user be aware of the clash, however. The explosions produced by Mandate of Heaven are naturally angled away from the user preventing damage from the explosion as well as negating recoil. This technique is instantly activated and can be deactivated at the user’s discretion. Heaven’s Directive will last for three turns when activated and can be used three times per battle.

Description: This technique is considered the sibling technique of Imperial Armament. This technique allows the user to infuse Explosive chakra into a solid surface within short-range of the user’s location. The basis of this technique is similar to Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind which uses Lightning chakra to manipulate and shape the earth around the user. This technique will apply Explosive chakra to infuse and shape the earth around the user’s position in accordance to the user’s wishes and needs, within reason. Like all Explosion Release techniques these constructs will detonate when coming in contact with an opposing force or solid matter. Alternatively the user can keep the constructs inert allowing it to interact with matter and forces without detonating. This requires the user to be aware of the interaction though. The explosions produced by Imperial Ordinance can be angled in a direction of the user’s choosing allowing for the negation of damage and recoil. A and S-Rank applications of this technique require the user to use a single Tiger hand seal for both its creation and sustainment, at the cost of ten chakra per turn. S-Rank explosions produced by Ordinance create an explosion spanning mid-range from its impact location while lower ranked applications created short-range sized explosions. The user is also capable of producing multiple constructs through the usage of Imperial Ordinance; their collective strength always being equivalent to the applied rank. S-Rank applications can be used three times per battle and cannot be used in consecutive turns. When the S-Rank version is used, no S-Rank or above Explosion Release techniques in the user’s next turn.

Description: The user will focus their Bakuton chakra into the ground in order to initiate this technique. This technique applies the principles of Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind as well as Explosion Release: Mandate of Hell. Instead of using Raiton chakra the user will apply their Bakuton chakra in order to forcefully shape the earth into a familiar mirroring their stature, appearance, and size. The familiar is powered by the user’s Explosive chakra and as such is granted a limited form of sentience; allowing the familiar to passively feed off of the user’s chakra reserves and sustain independence from the user’s concentration. Cosmetically, the familiar courses with explosive energy; this is much like the electrical energy which courses on the surface of Four and Sixteen Pillar Bind. This energy is inert to the touch possessing no inherent explosive qualities.
Aside from its limited sentience the familiar possesses two abilities. Due to the nature of his creation the familiar is capable of utilizing Earth Release techniques up to and including S-Rank sans handseals. However, the dignitary’s Earth Release techniques possess a unique quality found in Mandate of Hell. As such, the dignitary’s Earth Release techniques will passively be manipulated by Mandate of Hell allowing them to convert the Earth technique used (as long as it is solid matter), into Explosive chakra after it is created. This ability also, like Mandate of Hell, allows for a certain amount of reshaping; as such a slab of earth can be reshaped into a large sword. The Explosive chakra naturally possesses highly explosive tendencies which, on contact with solid matter or an opposing force, will result in an explosion proportional to the size of the structure. Explosions can also be detonated without the need for physical contact requiring the user to be aware of the interaction. Likewise, explosions can be prevented leaving the chakra inert until the user desires for an explosion to occur. Explosions created can be angled away from the user preventing unnecessary recoil and negating damage and debris. This passive characteristic can only be applied to Earth Release techniques within short-range of the familiar. Techniques which are outside of that range will remain as normal Earth Release.
Hell’s Dignitary can be used once per battle lasting a maximum of four turns per application. Upon deactivation the user will be unable to use Explosion, Earth, or Lightning techniques above A-Rank for a single turn.

Description: Royal Decree is a type of infusion designed to manipulate Explosion Release natured techniques throughout the battlefield. Through an infusion of Fire chakra into an Explosion Release or Bakuton natured technique the user is able to create a catalyst. The fire chakra infused into the explosion is gaseous in its form remaining inert until a violent explosion is triggered. The catalyst will act to detonate instantly in sync with the first causing a secondary explosion simulating the magnitude of the first; however will extend with one additional range level, at the user’s volition. The range increase can only be applied to Explosions which span short-range initially, allowing them to increase their range effectively to mid-range. Because of the effects of the catalyst the infused Explosion gains the added force, heat, and energy of the initial allowing it to gain an effective increase of one rank in strength; for S-Rank and above Explosions the technique will effectively increase the effective strength by +20. This technique can be applied to Explosions which extend to mid-range initially, however it will not benefit from the increased range allowing them to gain the catalyst effect but not span to long-range. Royal Decree can be used five times per battle and can be performed within the same timeframe as the technique which it is applied to. It cannot be used in consecutive turns.

Description: A type of activated infusion technique designed to manipulate specialized fluids or liquids. Generally, Water Release and other liquid-based elements act to suppress Explosion Release thus making them incompatible elements. However, certain techniques and elements possess inherent qualities which make them potent vehicles to sustain an explosion. This technique effectively creates a liquid based explosion, although with certain restrictions. Because of its specialized nature this technique’s infusion can only be applied to liquid techniques capable of sustaining an explosion. In the case of Water Release, the most common application, this technique can be applied to oil based techniques due to the volatile nature of oil. Liquid CEs which this is applied to will gain the exact benefit and become highly explosive when coming into contact with solid matter or an opposing force. Alternatively, the explosive infusion can be kept inert until the user desires to produce an explosion; although this can only be used as long as the user has awareness of the interaction. Explosions under this technique can have their directionality manipulated allowing for the reduction of recoil and the negation of potential damage within reason. When activated this technique will remain active for three turns and can be used three times per battle. Infusions occur within the same timeframe as the technique which they are applied to, thus making for instant activation. Explosions created/spawned from liquids infused with this technique must initially occur a minimum of five meters away from the opponent.

Description: The user will focus their Bakuton chakra within short-range of their location creating a familiar mirroring the user’s stature, appearance, and size. The familiar is composed purely of Explosive chakra being crimson, yellow, or orange in color. Although this coloration is largely cosmetic and can be changed through the use of other external techniques which affect the coloration of Explosion Release techniques. The familiar is powered by passively siphoning the user’s chakra and is granted a limited form of sentience; this allows the familiar to sustain independence from the user’s concentration. Because of its composition of pure Explosive chakra the familiar is highly volatile and naturally explosive. As such, interactions with the familiar, either from physical matter or opposing technique, an explosion will occur which can have its directionality controlled. The explosion will mimic the size and speed of the invading force. The explosion happens passively but requires one of the user’s three moves per turn. Aside from this, the Luminary’s energetic composition cannot be weakened and as such can regenerate from damage which does not destroy it entirely within elemental strengths and weaknesses.
Aside from its basic abilities the Luminary is capable of diffusing itself into solid matter based techniques (Earth/Earth CE). This is much like the Mandate of Heaven which infuses solid-matter with the user’s Explosive chakra to produce a latent bomb. However, unlike the Mandate of Heaven this ability varies slightly. This enhancement causes the infused technique to gain the abilities of the Heaven’s Luminary. Additionally, the Luminary’s duration will become bound to the technique it is infused into while also gaining the sustained chakra cost of the Luminary. Because of the nature of the Luminary’s reactive defense the infused matter will gain an electrified aura much like the one found in Explosion Release: Hell’s Dignitary. However, unlike the Dignitary who’s aura is inert to the touch the Luminary’s will possess a highly volatile aura mimicking the damage of the original Explosive chakra, S-Rank. For example, should the Heaven’s Luminary be diffused into Earth Release: Stone Golem it will gain the limited sentience of the Luminary freeing it from the user’s concentration while also becoming able to use S-Rank and below Explosion Release techniques. Like Mandate of Heaven, the Heaven’s Luminary can only be diffused into techniques which are created within short-range of the user. However, this does not mean that the Luminary must be within short-range. The Luminary can be present anywhere on the battlefield and diffused into the solid-based technique as long as that technique is created within short-range of the user.
Heaven’s Luminary can be used once per battle lasting four turns. Upon deactivation the user will be unable to use Explosion, Earth, or Lightning techniques above A-Rank for a single turn.

Description: The user will perform a single Tiger hand seal opening a portal in the sky much like Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop. From the portal thousands of rocks ranging from the size of a bullet to a fist will fall from the sky creating a torrential downpour. Each pellet is infused with the user’s Explosive chakra and will explode upon contact with matter or an opposing force. Because the user’s Explosive chakra is laced into the projectiles each produce a small localized explosion when detonated that individually does not produce significant harm. However, collectively the pellets pose immense threat; additionally each pellet will burst into shrapnel upon detonation making this technique very difficult to naturally avoid or dodge. The portal can be created anywhere within the battlefield up to a maximum of the entire field. In the case where the portal encompasses the entire battlefield the user must also be able to defend against the technique themselves. Starfall can be used three times per battle. The portal cannot be created within short-range of an opponent.

Description: Based on the principles of Explosion Release: Starfall and Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop Nebulous Descent employs the principle of smoke creation. The user will release their Explosive chakra into the sky opening a portal triggering an infinite series of small explosions each creating billowing amounts of smoke which will descend upon the desired area of the battlefield. The smoke is thick in nature carrying a warm temperature with it; similar to sitting near a fire. However, despite its temperature and thick nature the smoke is entirely harmless alone only acting to cloud the battlefield. The portal will remain open for two turns as the chain reaction of explosions continues causing smoke to billow downward on the battlefield without pause. During these two turns the smoke cannot be blown away and any attempt to do so will simply replenish the blown smoke with fresh smoke produced from the explosions. The smoke is also laced with the user’s explosive chakra and, while inert, will obfuscate sensory capabilities. Like Rain Tiger at Will the chakra within the smoke will provide a limited means of obstruction sensory allowing the user to detect physical obstructions within the smoke. However, without Smoke Ninjutsu the user cannot manipulate the smoke beyond the lacing of their own explosive chakra within it. Nebulous Descent can be used four times per battle. After the portal has closed the smoke will remain on the battlefield for two additional turns before naturally dispersing during which time it can be blown away.

Description: Nova Shockwave applies a fundamental concept of Explosion Release techniques – the expansion of volume. An explosion is, in its purest essence, the rapid expansion of volume and is manifested in this technique. By focusing Explosive chakra into either, or both, of the user’s palms the user will produce a localized explosion which specializes in rapid expansion – a shockwave. Nova Shockwave, while an Explosion Release technique, offers no common infernal flames; it is purely a shockwave released from an explosion carrying the same force and strength as a normal explosion would. However, Nova Shockwave applies the shockwave created in a linear direction through advanced manipulation found in techniques such as Landmine Fist where the explosion’s directionality can be controlled. The linear direction can be compared to the nature of Bensho Ten’in, in reverse. This technique specializes in repulsion through shockwave using the force of an explosion to push and shatter opposing objects and forces. Nova Shockwave can be applied at different strengths; this applies the same principle but at varying levels of range and strength. D to B-Rank applications of Nova Shockwave can produce short-range shockwaves, A-Rank applications of Nova Shockwave can produce mid-range shockwaves, while S-Rank applications can reach long-range. The shockwave itself, unlike common Explosion Release techniques, offers no explosive damage. The shockwave specializes in brute, sheer physical damage and appears similar to immense gusts of wind. A and S-Rank applications can be used a total of five times per battle while S-Rank itself can only be used twice, counting towards the total five applications. No S-Rank or above Explosion Release techniques can be used in the user's next turn when the S-Rank variant is used.

Description: The user focuses and channels copious amounts of Bakuton chakra throughout their entire body causing the user’s very form to manifest the properties of pure Bakuton chakra. The result is the user’s body, not simply their skin, will turn into raw explosive energy. The explosive energy manifests itself as a dark bloody crimson expanding throughout the user. This technique, in essence, causes the user to transform into a living bomb. Vestments of Divine Imperials provides inherent natural defenses through this transformation. However, despite what this technique suggests, this does not cause the user to become a suicide bomb. The basic defenses provided by Vestments of Divine Imperials is essentially a reactive armor taking on the properties of an explosion while also allowing the user, because of the very nature of their body, to become immune to their own explosions. The reactive defense provided by Vestments causes opposing techniques, within elemental weaknesses and strengths, to strike the user’s body and produce a reactive natural explosion. The explosions produced act as a natural defense enabling the user to neutralize invading forces. These explosions, due to their neutralizing nature, will reflect the size, speed, and power of the invading force. Because of the user’s incredible control enabled by Vestments of Divine Imperials they will be able to decide entirely at their volition whether objects which strike them will be met by an explosion or not. This only applies to objects which the user has awareness of. Objects and forces which strike the user unknowingly will be naturally met by an explosion of the above set proportions whether according to the user’s will or not. Because the user effectively transforms and converts his body into raw explosive energy he sheds certain traits of his biological body. No longer can the user suffer from pain, rendering them unable to use pain to release from illusionary techniques. Additionally, the user can no longer suffer from the biological effects of poisons, yet certain corrosive agents can still harm the user’s explosive form in some ways if not able to be overpowered by the explosion. However, the user is also vulnerable to Lightning Release techniques due to their unique interactions with Explosion Release. In essence Lightning Release is able to diffuse explosions effectively resulting in the paralysis of the user should he or she be struck. This technique enables the user to defend against S-Ranks and below of neutral elements (A-Ranks and below for weaknesses, F-Ranks and below for strengths). If the user is struck by an attack weaker than their transformation, their explosive form will not weaken or decrease in power at all. If the user is struck with an attack that will neutralize their transformation, the two cancel one another out and the user reverts to their original form unharmed. If the user is struck with an attack that overpowers their transformation, the user's body reverts to it's original form and sustains the remaining damage (after the collision of techniques). Aside from this the user’s ability to weave hand seals, mold chakra, and otherwise all abilities prior to their conversion remain normal. However, while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active the user is only able to use Bakuton and the elements which compose it, their primary elemental affinity and any CEs based on these elements as well as non-elemental abilities. Vestments of Divine Imperials lasts for four turns and can be used twice per battle. On the turn this technique expires the user is unable to produce Lightning, Earth, or Explosive techniques above S-Rank in the same turn. Additionally, upon expiration the user’s body is returned back to its normal biological state. Due to the conversion the user’s base speed will be reduced by 2 levels one turn thereafter. Explosions which occur from the user’s body, voluntarily or not, happen passively but cost one of the user’s three moves per turn. Seals and items otherwise on the user's body during their transformation retain their normal abilities. Body seals will become inscribed as explosive energy in their normal positions.

Description: Potentate Proclamation is designed to be used while the Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. This technique allows for the user to manipulate on going explosions on the battlefield by infusing their Bakuton chakra into the explosion. The explosion, while still active, will be absorbed into the user’s Vestment state allowing for it to be seamlessly integrated into their explosive body. In essence, this technique acts to extend the duration on Vestments of Divine Imperials by integrating additional energy into the form. Thus, for each B or A Rank explosion consumed by Potentate Proclamation, Vestments of Divine Imperials will be extended by two turns. Should the user consume an S or Forbidden Rank explosion they will be capable of extending Vestments by an additional three turns. Of course, while this technique is used the user will have effectively ended the explosion in question neutralizing it entirely themselves by integrating it into their body. Because this technique simply acts to infuse an explosion it will take little to no time at all allowing for smooth transitioning between techniques. Alternatively, Potentate Proclamation can be applied to absorb semi-sentient Explosive familiars. This application allows the user to integrate the familiar’s abilities into the user’s body; this effectively voids the sustained chakra cost of the familiar. Upon expiration of this technique this will cause the separation of user and familiar. By consuming sentient creations Potentate Proclamation effectively binds their duration to Vestments of Divine Imperials. Thus, if a familiar is absorbed and will remain on the field for two more turns while Vestments will remain active for three turns then the familiar will remain absorbed and active until Vestments expires. Potentate Proclamation can be used three times per battle and will remain active until Vestments of Divine Imperials expires.

Description: This technique is considered to be the sibling technique of Potentate Proclamation and is designed to be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials, or its lesser variants, is active. This technique specializes in sealing, unlike that of Potentate Proclamation, creating a living chakra vessel from the user’s explosive form. Unlike Potentate Proclamation this technique does not extend the duration of Vestments of Divine Imperials through the transfer and integration of energy and chakra. Instead Luminary’s Edict focuses on the alternative application of Potentate Proclamation – the sealing of sentient familiars and the adoption of their abilities. Luminary’s Edict takes into account the ‘size’ of the consumed familiar. However, because this is applied to familiars which are purely chakra based the physical size of the familiar is not taken into account because chakra does not occupy space in the normal sense. Luminary’s Edict instead focuses on the density of chakra, meaning the strength of the technique. As such, familiars which are higher ranked than the user’s transformed state will be consumed allowing for the user to adopt the abilities of the familiar as well as the strength of familiar. For example, should the user’s transformed state be equivalent to A-Rank and an S-Rank familiar is consumed then the user’s explosive state will increase by a single effective rank. Because the user’s body becomes the vessel for the familiar it will be homogenous with the user’s body preventing the external separation of the two. Familiars consumed by Luminary’s Edict have their chakra cost effectively voided for the duration. The familiars which are consumed will also bind their duration to the user’s transformed state accepting the longer of the two durations. When the user’s transformed state ends the consumed familiar(s) will unbind themselves seamlessly from the user’s body. The sealing happens incredibly quickly allowing Luminary's Edict to be used within the same timeframe as the creation of a familiar that it will consume and seal. Luminary’s Edict can be used three times per battle and will remain active until Vestments of Divine Imperials, or a lesser variation, expires.

Applying the user’s Explosive energy state the user becomes able to shape their body into anything which suits their needs at the given moment. The technique can produce appendages of varying shapes and sizes to be used as weapons to strike an opponent. Authority can go as far as allowing the user to shape their body into whatever form comes from their imagination as long as the size does not exceed twice their original form. When Vestments of Divine Imperials is deactivated or expires the user’s form will revert to its original shape and size. Reverting to the user’s original form with this technique requires the user use one of their three moves per turn. Imperial Authority can be used four times per battle.

Description: Imperial Majesty is a highly versatile Explosion Release technique to be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. Applying the user’s explosive energy state he or she will produce explosions at any point on their body enabling them to be propelled against the air in the direction of their choosing. The explosions are highly versatile in nature allowing for the user to shape and manipulate them upon creation effectively negating recoil and preventing damage by angling the explosions outwards while also determining their width. The explosions, as previously mentioned, will propel the user against the air allowing for the user to take evasive measures in order to avoid techniques within logical reason and speed. Alternatively, this technique can be used to propel the user and then be sustained enabling for a limited form of flight/levitation by setting off a small chain reaction of explosions at the chosen location on the user’s body. The chain of explosions used to sustain this technique is maintained by passively draining the user’s chakra over time. When Imperial Majesty is used offensively or defensively the user can instead apply the propulsion against a living body or opposing technique, respecting elemental weaknesses and strengths. The explosion will act to propel the user in the opposite direction of the targeted body inflicting A-Rank damage. Imperial Majesty can be used four times per battle.

Description: The first of the techniques awakened during Avenger's maddening rampage; it represents his ever growing celestial rage. This technique can only be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. While in their explosive state the user will activate Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven by focusing Bakuton chakra throughout their entire form. This technique causes the user’s body to become akin to that of a star – the very energy that illuminates the heavens and bestows the emperor’s reign with absolute legitimacy and power. In essence, this technique allows the user’s power to become akin to that of a star themselves; they will begin to barbarically consume energy at irrational rates in order to fuel their power by consuming the user’s own explosions on the battlefield through complex manipulation akin to Potentate Proclamation. Explosions which are produced freeform, such as explosive tags, will be consumed passively. While explosions made from techniques will be consumed actively, at the cost of a move. The consumption of explosions and their energy trigger a reaction within the user’s body similar to how a star produces its energy and fuels the reactions within its core by converting the power of the explosion into essential fuel. As the user consumes additional explosions on the battlefield and integrates them into his or her body their explosive form, which initially in its Vestments state begins as a dark crimson, will progressively brighten similar to that of a luminous star. Their luminescence is easily compared to that of a main sequence star beginning at Class M, or red/crimson, to Class A. Class A stars are essentially white in nature being extremely bright. This passive luminescence enhancement, while remarkably beautiful, holds an ability identical to that of Imperial Radiance allowing the user’s Explosion Release techniques to manipulate the natural light of their explosions and produce a flash bomb-like effect. The mechanics behind this ability work identically to how Imperial Radiance itself works – manipulating the natural light produced by the explosion very much akin to a generic flash bomb. The color of the flash produced will mimic the user’s current state, anywhere in the range between Class M and Class A purely depending on the number of explosions consumed; although this variance is purely cosmetic working to blind the victim regardless of the user’s current level of luminescence. The consumption and rapid conversion of the user’s explosions also serves a secondary purpose. Through this ability the user becomes able to considerably bolster their offensive capabilities of their explosions. For each Explosion technique consumed by Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven the user will effectively increase their Explosion Release techniques by +20 damage up to S rank. The user, however, is only able to absorb one explosion per turn and at the cost of a move. These explosions will mimic the user’s luminosity and radiance – becoming highly luminescent at their apex. Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven will last until Vestments of Divine Imperials expires. For example, should Vestments of Divine Imperials remain active for three turns then this technique will persist until it expires. If Vestments will remain active for its full four turns then this technique will remain active for the same duration. When Vestments of Divine Imperials expires the user will collapse due to the sheer quantities of energy that their explosion state produced. The user’s body will swiftly reduce in luminosity and then expire completely, causing the user’s death, suffering 70 damage. Whether the technique is ended prematurely or not, it results in the users' death.

Description: The second of the techniques awakened during Avenger’s maddening rampage; it represents the absolute laws of light. This technique can only be used while Vestments of Divine Imperials is active. Celestial Avulsion, Law of Light is considered an advanced application and variant of Imperial Majesty revolving primarily around the usage of explosions in order to propel the user against the air, targets, or techniques. Celestial Avulsion, Law of Light acts as the opposite of Venerable Augustus, Light of Heaven. Instead of the user consuming energy at irrational rates the user will instead expel energy. Reflecting this, the technique is initiated through focusing Explosive chakra throughout the user’s explosive form. The immediate result is a dramatic omnidirectional S-Rank Explosion spanning short-range from the user’s position. This explosion reflects the avulsion of matter and energy from the user’s explosive form much like the formation of a Neutron Star. As this occurs the user’s body will begin to react with interactions with physical matter and opposing forces allowing the user to produce explosions from their body which propel them at their volition. This propulsion operates exactly like Imperial Majesty – they are highly versatile and can be created anywhere on the user’s body allowing them to propel them against the air in the direction of their choosing. Due to the sheer amount of energy the explosions will propel the user’s sprinting speed thrice their base. These explosions can be produced through two separate methods. The first is by passively producing the explosions against matter or opposing forces. This method allows the user to propel themselves at the aforementioned speed and produce a sustained form of flight. This cannot be used to evade techniques throughout its duration aside from the turn it is activated in. The second method is by actively producing explosions from the user’s form. These explosions mirror the speed of the passively produced Explosions but will also possess S-Rank strength. Like the explosions created in Imperial Majesty this technique allows the user to produce explosions that can be used to propel themselves against opposing techniques or targets, respecting elemental strengths and weaknesses and can be actively used to produce propulsion to evade techniques as well. Celestial Avulsion, Law of Light will last until Vestments of Divine Imperials expires. When Vestments of Divine Imperials expires the user will suffer from the sheer quantities of energy expelled. This results in a decrease of three levels in the user's base speed. The user will be unable to use S-Rank or above techniques or A-Rank or higher Explosion Release for 3 turns.

Description: Minister’s Bureaucracy is an Explosion Release technique designed to infuse explosive tags with the user’s Bakuton chakra. This technique has two different applications – that of applied freeform explosive tags and that of ninjutsu based techniques which apply paper tags in order to inflict damage. In the case of freeform explosive tags the user is able to infuse a single, or multiple explosive tags, with their Bakuton chakra in order to increase the power of the explosion as well as their ability to manipulate the explosion. In the case of the increased power this technique will allow for a D - S ranked infusion capable of varying levels of destruction. For infusions at D to B-Rank the explosive tags in question will be capable of delivering an explosion reflecting their rank in damage spanning over short-range around them. For explosive tags infused with Bakuton chakra at A-Rank the explosions produced will be capable of inflicting A-Rank damage and spanning over mid-range around them. For S-Rank applications of this technique produce enormous explosions capable of reaching into mid-range from the explosive tag, able to deliver enormous amounts of damage equivalent to S-Rank in the afflicted area. If multiple explosive tags are infused with Bakuton chakra their total strength will reflect the degree of chakra applied. As such, if four explosive tags are thrown and infused at B-Rank strength then each will possess D-Rank strength, collectively B-Rank.
This second application of this technique allows the user to infuse Bakuton chakra into ninjutsu techniques applying explosive tags to inflict damage. This second application of Minister’s Bureaucracy will increase the chakra cost of the technique it is applied to by 10. In the case of this application the rank applied will be equivalent to the ninjutsu technique and produce an enhanced explosion resulting in an increase of +20 damage to the technique in question. For example, if Falling Paper Bomb is used then the technique will become Bakuton natured. It will also gain a bonus 20 damage from the increased power of the explosions created. Both applications of Minister’s Bureaucracy will produce explosions that are naturally angled away from the user thus preventing damage and negating recoil. Because of the nature of Minister’s Bureaucracy it essentially can be performed in the same timeframe due to its infusion nature.
Both applications of Minister’s Bureaucracy follow the same restrictions allowing for this technique to be used a total of five times per battle regardless of application. In terms of restrictions for the first application, S-Rank applications can only be used twice per battle and the user must wait a two turn cooldown in between applications. S-Rank applications count toward the total five applications of this technique. Both applications require the user use one of their three moves per turn.

Description: This technique allows for the user to infuse Explosive chakra into objects composed of solid matter (Earth/Earth CE, weapons not including Custom Weapons, and not including organics). When the object in question either strikes an opposing object or force it will explode at the initial point of contact. Mandate of Heaven essentially allows the user to convert any physical object he pleases into a latent bomb. Should the user apply this technique to ninja tools or objects void of chakra the explosion produced would be roughly equivalent to that of an average explosive tag. Should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into a supplementary technique then the damage inflicted will be equivalent to the rank of the technique. For example, should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into Earth Shelter Technique then the shelter will explode dealing damage equivalent to B-Rank. An inherent weakness of the Mandate of Heaven is that this technique cannot be applied at long ranges. It can only be applied to techniques, tools, and such that are in close-range of the user or the objects in their direct possession. It cannot however be used upon anything on the opponent's person. Techniques which are created by the user allows for the infusion to occur within the same timeframe as the jutsu which Mandate of Heaven is applied to. Alternatively, the user can apply a single confrontation hand seal causing a premature explosion in the object in question, voiding the need for immediate physical contact or allowing the explosion to remain latent despite physical contact. This requires the user be aware of the clash, however. The explosions produced by Mandate of Heaven are naturally angled away from the user preventing damage from the explosion as well as negating recoil. Mandate of Heaven can be used five times per battle.

Description: This technique is considered the close counterpart of Mandate of Heaven. Like Mandate of Heaven, this technique allows the user to infuse matter purely solid in composition (Earth/Earth CE, weapons not including Custom Weapons, and not including organics) with Explosive chakra within short-range of the user. However, unlike Mandate of Heaven this does not produce a latent bomb. Instead, the object in question will have the entirety of its form converted into dark crimson Explosive chakra essentially converting it into pure Explosive energy after it is produced. For example, should an Earth technique be used the earth technique will emerge from the ground as normal and then immediately be converted by Mandate of Hell. The objects in question can either retain their form or lose their form allowing for a versatile reshaping at the user’s discretion depending on their needs at the time. As such, a kunai converted into raw Explosive chakra will retain its form as a kunai or be reshaped into a small sword or simple sphere of Explosive chakra. The converted object(s) will remain inert until they detonate against opposing object or force. The user can also choose to keep the energy inert when coming in contact with other objects. This requires the user be aware of the interaction, however. When used on multiple objects void of chakra their Explosive power will collectively be equivalent to B-Rank strength. For example, should four kunai be converted by this technique each kunai will assume D-Rank strength, collectively B-Rank. Alternatively, this technique can be applied to the user’s matter-based techniques (listed above). In this case the technique will assume the damage equivalent to its rank, instead of Mandate of Hell. Should a technique which produces multiple objects be converted it will take the same logic as if this technique was applied to multiple objects. Explosions produced will be proportional to the size of the object converted. These explosions are naturally angled away from their user in order to prevent damage and negate recoil. Techniques which possess sentience, like Stone Golems or other familiar type techniques, will be able to retain their sentient abilities after conversion preventing their deactivation. Additionally, Mandate of Hell can be used to convert existing techniques of the opponents, falling under the restrictions of this technique, as long as they are completely overpowered and within range of this technique. As such, Mandate of Hell is able to convert Earth techniques equivalent to its rank or Earth based techniques one rank lower than it. Due to the nature of this technique Mandate of Hell can be used within the same timeframe as the technique to which it is applied to. Mandate of Hell can be used three times per battle and requires a one turn cooldown in between applications. Mandate of Hell cannot be used on anything on the opponent's person (e.g. their clothes, weapons in their grasp, etc).

Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 15 – 40 (-10 per turn)
Damage: 30 – 80
Description: This technique allows the user to produce Explosive chakra from their body or within short-range around their location. The chakra typically will take an orange, yellow, or crimson color in its form; although this color characteristic is largely cosmetic and can be influenced by external techniques which influence light or coloration in explosions. The Explosive chakra can be shaped and formed in accordance to the user’s wishes. Like all Explosion Release techniques the chakra will detonate when coming in contact with an opposing force or solid matter. Alternatively the user can keep the chakra inert allowing it to interact with matter and forces without detonating. This requires the user to be aware of the interaction though. The explosions produced by Imperial Armament can be angled away from the user’s position to negate damage and recoil. A and S-Rank applications of this technique require the use of ten chakra per turn for their sustainment. S-Rank explosions produced by Armament create an explosion spanning mid-range from its impact location. The user is also capable of producing multiple objects through the usage of Imperial Armament; their collective strength always being equivalent to the applied rank. S-Rank applications can be used three times per battle and cannot be used in consecutive turns. When the S-Rank version is used, no S-Rank or above Blast Release techniques in the user's next turn.

Description: Imperial Radiance is an uncharacteristically passive and tame technique compared to the nature of Explosion Release. This technique, instead of aiding in spreading further destruction, aids in tactical applications to cause confusion to opposing forces. Through the use of Bakuton chakra the user is capable of manipulating explosions which they will produce over the next three turns. This added manipulation allows the user to cause the inferno produced by the explosions to manipulate the natural light of the battlefield and explosion causing the explosions to work similarly to flash bombs. The radius of the affected area varies depending on the power and size of the explosion. Essentially, explosions which extend to short range will be capable of blinding those within mid-range. Thus the technique is capable of causing a flash within one range higher than the explosion itself. Of course, in the case of long-range explosions this matters little. While this technique is active the user is able to determine whether an explosion will produce a flash. The blinding effects of an explosion under Imperial Radiance simply last for the duration equivalent to that of an average flash bomb. Because the explosions occur at the user’s volition they are able to briefly close their eyes and time it with the flash of light in order to prevent their own blinding. Imperial Radiance can be used three times per battle and lasts for three turns.

Description: A type of activated infusion technique designed to manipulate specialized Fire Release techniques. The user will instantly activate this technique which allows them to infuse their Explosion chakra into a Fire Release natured technique which can cause explosive damage. This technique effectively creates a Fire/Explosion combination through the infusion allowing for the explosion produced by the aforementioned Fire techniques to become Bakuton natured. Techniques influenced by this infusion will retain their weakness to Water Release while gaining an effective strength against Earth Release, due to the nature of Explosion Release. Additionally, the technique will forfeit its neutrality with lightning becoming naturally weak to it. Because of the highly specialized nature of this technique it can only be applied to Fire techniques which cause Explosive damage, such as Fire Release: Hellfire Technique or Great Blaze Ball. It will have no effect on techniques consisting of regular non-explosive/volatile fire. When activated this technique will last for three turns; Rage of the Firelands can be used three times per battle and can be deactivated instantly according to the user’s will.

Description: Through direct contact with a solid surface the user will focus their Explosive chakra into it causing it to diffuse evenly throughout the applied surface. The Explosive chakra will quickly diffuse up to mid-range from the user’s initial location lacing the terrain with chakra unbeknownst to opponents lacking special capabilities, like Doujutsu or Sensory. In its diffused state this technique offers no direct offensive potential simply acting to lace the terrain with Explosive chakra essentially marking the surface as the Emperor’s domain. Domain of the Emperor will passively drain 10 chakra per turn from its user allowing in order to be sustained. While active the opponent will be unable to use Earth Release techniques which emerge from the ground. Domain of the Emperor essentially emulates its natural oppressive ability through this lacing of Explosive chakra. Alternatively, this technique can be used to converge the diffused chakra into a single location by pooling it beneath a targeted location. This convergence can be performed immediately upon initiation of this technique, at the cost of a single move, or can be performed after the diffused chakra has been laced into the surface, costing an additional move. The explosion produced by this alternative application will cause the earth to rupture beneath the targeted location which can encompass all of short-range from its location. The rupturing will be proceeded by the normal rumbling sound accompanied by all average earth techniques followed by an immediate explosion. The explosion will both carry with it the normal heat and force as well as the ruptured earth, forming a highly effective blunt and sharp shrapnel. When the convergence application is used this will effectively end Domain of the Emperor and require the user use this technique again in order to lace chakra into the earth. Domain of the Emperor can be used twice per battle and lasts four turns per application or until it is sacrificed to produce an explosion. While active the user is unable to use techniques other than Explosion Release, the elements which compose it, their primary elemental affinity, and non-elemental techniques.

Description: This technique can only be used while Domain of the Emperor is active allowing the user to passively activate this innate ability. Mandate of Earth essentially allows solid-based matter and techniques (Earth/Earth CE, not including other shinobi, etc) to become infused with Explosive chakra. However, unlike its sibling techniques Hell and Heaven the Mandate of Earth, through the Domain of the Emperor, infuses these solid-based techniques beyond short-range of the user by utilizing the diffused Explosive chakra latent in the surface it was infused to. This essentially allows the user to convert any physical object he pleases into a latent bomb. Should the user apply this technique to ninja tools or objects void of chakra the explosion produced would be equivalent to an average explosive tag. Should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into a supplementary technique then the damage inflicted will be equivalent to the rank of the technique For example, should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into Earth Shelter Technique then the shelter will explode dealing damage equivalent to B-Rank. The Mandate of Earth can only be applied to techniques and matter within the Domain of the Emperor. Like the Domain this technique comes with an audible tell – the earth will rumble dramatically moments prior to detonation. Mandate of Earth cannot be used upon anything on the opponent’s person. When the object in question either strikes an opposing object or force it will explode at the initial point of contact. Alternatively, the user can void the need for contact by causing a premature explosion in the object in question. This can also allow the user to keep the object inert until a time of their choosing but requires the user be aware of any interaction. Explosions produced by the Mandate of Earth can have their directionality manipulated allowing for the negation of recoil and damage. Mandate of Earth can be used twice and will remain active for the duration of the Domain of the Emperor.

Description: Celestial Retribution is an advanced technique employing the creation of the Coat of Arms of the Emperor. The technique is initiated through a surge of chakra throughout the user’s body to produce a familiar composed of entirely Explosive chakra on their chest. The familiar takes the form of the Civic Crown of the Emperor, his coat of arms. The familiar is imbued, through a passive consumption of the user’s chakra, a limited form of sentience. While the Civic Crown is unable to move from the user’s body it is able to act independently of the user and free his concentration on the technique. The Civic Crown acts to mark the sacred property of the Emperor and carry out the punishment upon those who attempt to steal it. To carry out this sacred task the Civic Crown employs an advanced form of Fūinjutsu. In order for the Emperor to mark his property the technique adds an additional dimension of shape manipulation through an infusion of chakra; this is done by passively consuming the user’s chakra and infusing it independently of the user into techniques at his volition. The added manipulation will in effect ‘inscribe’ the Kanji for ‘Exalted’ in the user’s Explosion Release techniques while also causing the color of the Explosion to shift becoming a dark crimson; although this coloration is largely cosmetic and can be shifted through the use of other techniques which influence light or coloration. When used on raw Explosion Release techniques, such as Explosive energy, malefic infernos, or simple explosions, this technique will create the Kanji in the body of the Explosion itself, always in the direct view of the opponent. Alternatively, this infusion can be used alongside Mandate of Heaven, Hell, and their variants. When used in conjunction with Mandate of Hell the Kanji will be initially inscribed in the solid body of the matter it is applied upon and then remain inscribed as it converts itself into Explosive energy. When used with Mandate of Heaven the solid matter which is infused will gain the inscription upon it. In its simplest form the infusion produces a highly malleable, intangible, and transparent barrier within the Explosion. Because of its malleability and intangibility the barrier can easily shape itself to fit the Explosion and its contents and will proactively shape itself as the explosion expands into its apex or changes shape. The barrier itself offers little in normal elemental interactions and does not inherently increase the strength of the Explosion Release technique it is applied to. However, the barrier, much like the barrier found in Sealing Technique: Abhorrence, acts to protect the Emperor’s techniques against specialized sealing/absorptive natured abilities. Against these techniques which employ an ethereal state of chakra draining, absorptive, or sealing qualities advanced Fūinjutsu or otherwise, the barrier will make its abilities known in order to protect the Emperor’s sacred Explosions. These abilities include Dark Release Absorption, advanced Fūinjutsu, and abilities which consume chakra such as specialized Water Release. The first ability mimics that found in Sealing Technique: Abhorrence. It will directly prevent the sealing or absorption of the user’s and is able to repel S-Rank and below techniques which attempt to seal or absorb the user’s techniques. The second ability is the barrier’s ability to issue a punishment to those who attempt to steal the Emperor’s property. While preventing the user’s techniques from being sealed this technique will instead release a portion of the user’s chakra to initiate the punishment. Those techniques which perform their absorption will instead be met by an infusion of the user’s chakra which causes the opponent’s chakra system to gain explosive like tendencies. The result is the opponent’s very chakra system will begin to ‘explode’ causing the destruction of 50 chakra per turn while also causing severe pain. The pain which the opponent experiences is equivalent to the pain required to shatter an A-Ranked illusion; stabbing one’s self in a minor muscle, cutting one’s self, breaking small bones, etc. Thus, it is a nuisance to experience in heated combat. The rank of the infection is equivalent to the rank of the Explosion Release technique used and requires a full body surge in equivalent rank to shatter.
Celestial Retribution can be used once per battle and when used the Civic Crown will remain on the field for a maximum of four turns. Due to its nature this technique is activated instantly and infusions occur within the same timeframe as the technique they are applied to. Alone, the familiar cannot move independently of the user and will remain static on his chest.

Description: This technique is considered the brother technique to Celestial Retribution and, like its sibling, employs an advanced combination of Fūinjutsu and Explosion Release. This technique emulates the Emperor’s command over the physical world and inevitability. The user will release Explosive chakra from throughout the user’s entire body producing the semi-sentient Crest of the Emperor, the Civic Crown, adorned to his chest. Like in Celestial Retribution, the Civic Crown remains dependent on the user’s body and cannot move alone but, due to its sentience, remains independent from the user’s concentration. The Civic Crown possesses a single ability – to create spheres of Explosive chakra roughly equivalent to the size of a fist each imbued with the Emperor’s heavenly will and sustained by the Civic Crown itself. By default each sphere is imbued with the abilities of the Mandate of Hell. As such, when coming into contact with solid matter (KG/CE included) they are able to convert that matter into Explosive chakra. When used on an opponent’s technique this requires the opponent’s technique be completely overpowered within elemental strengths and weaknesses. For example, should an A-Rank sphere come into contact with an A-Rank Earth technique it will consume the sphere and convert the Earth technique into Explosive chakra. However, should an A-Rank sphere come into contact with a B-Rank construct of Earth it will still convert the technique into Explosive chakra but also preserve the sphere. The spheres themselves take on a physical state; the state which rules over the material world. Each orb, typically crimson in color, will possess inherently high volatility and as such will explode on contact with matter or an opposing force producing an explosion spanning mid-range from the orb’s location engulfing anything within it. This explosive ability does not come without control and, through the user’s will, can prevent the orbs from detonating allowing them to remain inert but will require the user to be aware of an interaction. Because of this the user is able to also cause a premature detonation voiding the need for contact. The orbs are inherently highly versatile constructs and can be shaped to the user’s needs after creation however they would like. Alternatively the spheres can be used to extend the abilities of the Mandate of Hell upon sentient familiars through Fūinjutsu. When used as such the spheres will present themselves with the Kanji for “Inevitability” in the frame of view of the opponent. This sealing inscription within the sphere is purposed to be used against elemental/non-elemental sentient creations. When used against these techniques the sealing script’s full strength is revealed as it becomes capable of sealing the metaphysical link between user and familiar, thus rendering the familiar at the command of the user. The converted familiar will lose its original natural abilities while being converted into raw Explosive chakra. When used against familiars of neutral or greater strength the sphere will be consumed in order to bend the familiar to the user’s will. When used against familiars weaker in strength the sphere will be preserved. When used in this manner the spheres will not cause a detonation and instead remain inert. The converted familiar’s potential explosive strength equal's the rank of the orb used to convert it. The “Inevitability” seal is considered A-Rank.
This technique can be used once per battle. The Crest will remain active for four turns during which a minimum of two spheres will be created, maximum of four, at any time on the battlefield. The initial two spheres created will be S-Rank in strength each and should they be divided further will be equivalent to A-Rank spheres. Using the spheres requires the user expend one of their three moves per turn, except in the first turn of creation. Reshaping the orbs to fit the user’s needs is performed passively and their maximum reshaped size cannot exceed the user’s. Restoring a lost orb can be done at the cost of a move and an additional 20 chakra. The passive abilities imbued by the Mandate of Hell cannot be used against living shinobi or summons. They will be employed at the user’s volition should an explosion not be desired. The sealing script can only be used against elemental/non-elemental familiars and can seal the metaphysical relationship regardless of rank or strength as long as contact with the familiar is made. However, should the user desire, they can simply produce an explosion against an opposing familiar instead of applying the seal. When Ananke, Heavenly Compulsion expires the user will suffer from a hindering full body pain. This effectively causes the user to suffer from 40 damage and have their base speed reduced by 2 effective levels for 2 turns. Additionally, the user will be unable to use Explosion Release, Lightning Release, or Earth Release techniques above A-Rank for 3 turns.

Description: The Twin Evils are a pair of reverse grip weapons fashioned from ancient crimson and black metals in the shape of a mix between a beast’s fang and claws. The Twin Evils, as they are more commonly known, are appropriately named Tawich, the Left Fang Grinder, and Zarich, the Right Fang Grinder. Tawich and Zarich’s origins remain in obscurity. Likely the pair was forged during a long forgotten era of brutality and savagery – where war and slaughter were the norm and peace was a rarity. Traditionally the pair is used as sword-breakers acting to stop and catch an opponent’s blade in close quarters combat and to swiftly rend flesh in response. Alternatively the Twin Evils can be used as simple throwing weapons akin to daggers whipped at opponents at high speeds to pierce and rend flesh from a distance. Beyond their basic ability to act as freeform weapons both of the twins possess a certain innate ability – camouflage. Both Zarich and Tawrich act to protect themselves from unwanted attention. Because of their crimson and black metal nature the combination of the two acts to blend perfectly with Avenger’s typical clothing and body tattoos. As such, passively, when sheathed against Avenger’s body both will become concealed from sight and appear as a simple continuation of the tattoos and glyphs which litter Avenger. Users with advanced eyesight, such as Doujutsu, are able to easily perceive the minute differences of the blades against the user’s body. Additionally, both blades possess and offer their own unique skills; one to empower the user’s Explosions with hatred and one to preserve them. Given the nature of the Twin Evils, only Avenger, Angra Mainyu, may wield this unique weapon.
Tawrich, the Left Fang Grinder; Tawrich’s ability revolves around the principle of focusing the user’s emotions, more specifically their hatred. It is an inherently passive ability in its nature acting as a second dimension of manipulation to all of the user’s Explosion Release techniques by infusing them with the user’s overwhelming hatred. As such, the user’s Bakuton chakra teems with pure hatred directed toward the world and allows for far more violent and malefic explosions. Tawrich in essence produces explosions which are inherently brutally crimson and far more malevolent in their nature. Their potential to burn and produce concussive damage becomes far greater with this increase. Tawrich’s Hatred Enhancement comes with the ability to increase the power of all of the user’s Explosion Release techniques, up to and including A-Rank, by one rank. S-Rank and above techniques gain the added benefit of being increased by 10 damage.
Zarich, the Right Fang Grinder; Zarich’s ability revolves around the principle of chain reactions and explosions. Zarich enables the user to manipulate existing and ongoing explosions by infusing their Bakuton chakra within them. The infused chakra acts to initiate much smaller explosions within the body of the initial triggering a sequence of reactions and producing a positive feedback mechanism within the initial explosion, allowing for multiple small explosions to occur. The smaller explosions produced aim to replace the expended energy of the main initial explosion. This in essence allows techniques which it is applied to require being overpowered entirely to be destroyed allowing for a sort of pseudo explosive regenerative process. Because the smaller explosions simply replace the expended energy Zarich’s ability does not enhance the power, size, or shape of the explosion at all. It simply acts to maintain the explosion in its produced state of power requiring that it be overpowered entirely to be destroyed, allowing it to last until the infusion is voided. Zarich’s ability passively siphons the user’s chakra at the rate of 15 chakra per turn in order to sustain the chain reaction. Zarich’s abilities can only be applied to a single explosion, requiring one of the user's three moves, on the battlefield at a time and requires the user reuse this ability to apply it to a different explosion. It can be used a maximum of three times per battle and cannot be used in consecutive turns.

Description: This technique is considered the daughter technique of the Mandate of Heaven. This technique allows the user to infuse Explosive chakra into objects composed of solid matter (Earth/Earth CE, weapons not including Custom Weapons, and not including organics, etc). When the object in question either strikes an opposing object or force it will explode at the initial point of contact. Heaven’s Directive essentially allows the user to convert any physical object he pleases into a latent bomb. Should the user apply this technique to ninja tools or objects void of chakra the explosion produced would be roughly equivalent to that of an average explosive tag. Should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into a supplementary technique then the damage inflicted will be equivalent to the rank of the technique. For example, should the user infuse their Explosive chakra into Earth Shelter Technique then the shelter will explode dealing damage equivalent to B-Rank. An inherent weakness of the Mandate of Heaven is that this technique cannot be applied at long ranges. It can only be applied to techniques, tools, and such that are in close-range of the user or the objects in their direct possession. It cannot however be used upon anything on the opponent's person. Alternatively, the user cause a premature explosion in the object in question, voiding the need for immediate physical contact or allowing the explosion to remain latent despite physical contact. This requires the user be aware of the clash, however. The explosions produced by Mandate of Heaven are naturally angled away from the user preventing damage from the explosion as well as negating recoil. This technique is instantly activated and can be deactivated at the user’s discretion. Heaven’s Directive will last for three turns when activated and can be used three times per battle.

Description: This technique is considered the sibling technique of Imperial Armament. This technique allows the user to infuse Explosive chakra into a solid surface within short-range of the user’s location. The basis of this technique is similar to Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind which uses Lightning chakra to manipulate and shape the earth around the user. This technique will apply Explosive chakra to infuse and shape the earth around the user’s position in accordance to the user’s wishes and needs, within reason. Like all Explosion Release techniques these constructs will detonate when coming in contact with an opposing force or solid matter. Alternatively the user can keep the constructs inert allowing it to interact with matter and forces without detonating. This requires the user to be aware of the interaction though. The explosions produced by Imperial Ordinance can be angled in a direction of the user’s choosing allowing for the negation of damage and recoil. A and S-Rank applications of this technique require the user to use a single Tiger hand seal for both its creation and sustainment, at the cost of ten chakra per turn. S-Rank explosions produced by Ordinance create an explosion spanning mid-range from its impact location while lower ranked applications created short-range sized explosions. The user is also capable of producing multiple constructs through the usage of Imperial Ordinance; their collective strength always being equivalent to the applied rank. S-Rank applications can be used three times per battle and cannot be used in consecutive turns. When the S-Rank version is used, no S-Rank or above Explosion Release techniques in the user’s next turn.

Description: The user will focus their Bakuton chakra into the ground in order to initiate this technique. This technique applies the principles of Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind as well as Explosion Release: Mandate of Hell. Instead of using Raiton chakra the user will apply their Bakuton chakra in order to forcefully shape the earth into a familiar mirroring their stature, appearance, and size. The familiar is powered by the user’s Explosive chakra and as such is granted a limited form of sentience; allowing the familiar to passively feed off of the user’s chakra reserves and sustain independence from the user’s concentration. Cosmetically, the familiar courses with explosive energy; this is much like the electrical energy which courses on the surface of Four and Sixteen Pillar Bind. This energy is inert to the touch possessing no inherent explosive qualities.
Aside from its limited sentience the familiar possesses two abilities. Due to the nature of his creation the familiar is capable of utilizing Earth Release techniques up to and including S-Rank sans handseals. However, the dignitary’s Earth Release techniques possess a unique quality found in Mandate of Hell. As such, the dignitary’s Earth Release techniques will passively be manipulated by Mandate of Hell allowing them to convert the Earth technique used (as long as it is solid matter), into Explosive chakra after it is created. This ability also, like Mandate of Hell, allows for a certain amount of reshaping; as such a slab of earth can be reshaped into a large sword. The Explosive chakra naturally possesses highly explosive tendencies which, on contact with solid matter or an opposing force, will result in an explosion proportional to the size of the structure. Explosions can also be detonated without the need for physical contact requiring the user to be aware of the interaction. Likewise, explosions can be prevented leaving the chakra inert until the user desires for an explosion to occur. Explosions created can be angled away from the user preventing unnecessary recoil and negating damage and debris. This passive characteristic can only be applied to Earth Release techniques within short-range of the familiar. Techniques which are outside of that range will remain as normal Earth Release.
Hell’s Dignitary can be used once per battle lasting a maximum of four turns per application. Upon deactivation the user will be unable to use Explosion, Earth, or Lightning techniques above A-Rank for a single turn.

Description: Royal Decree is a type of infusion designed to manipulate Explosion Release natured techniques throughout the battlefield. Through an infusion of Fire chakra into an Explosion Release or Bakuton natured technique the user is able to create a catalyst. The fire chakra infused into the explosion is gaseous in its form remaining inert until a violent explosion is triggered. The catalyst will act to detonate instantly in sync with the first causing a secondary explosion simulating the magnitude of the first; however will extend with one additional range level, at the user’s volition. The range increase can only be applied to Explosions which span short-range initially, allowing them to increase their range effectively to mid-range. Because of the effects of the catalyst the infused Explosion gains the added force, heat, and energy of the initial allowing it to gain an effective increase of one rank in strength; for S-Rank and above Explosions the technique will effectively increase the effective strength by +20. This technique can be applied to Explosions which extend to mid-range initially, however it will not benefit from the increased range allowing them to gain the catalyst effect but not span to long-range. Royal Decree can be used five times per battle and can be performed within the same timeframe as the technique which it is applied to. It cannot be used in consecutive turns.

Description: A type of activated infusion technique designed to manipulate specialized fluids or liquids. Generally, Water Release and other liquid-based elements act to suppress Explosion Release thus making them incompatible elements. However, certain techniques and elements possess inherent qualities which make them potent vehicles to sustain an explosion. This technique effectively creates a liquid based explosion, although with certain restrictions. Because of its specialized nature this technique’s infusion can only be applied to liquid techniques capable of sustaining an explosion. In the case of Water Release, the most common application, this technique can be applied to oil based techniques due to the volatile nature of oil. Liquid CEs which this is applied to will gain the exact benefit and become highly explosive when coming into contact with solid matter or an opposing force. Alternatively, the explosive infusion can be kept inert until the user desires to produce an explosion; although this can only be used as long as the user has awareness of the interaction. Explosions under this technique can have their directionality manipulated allowing for the reduction of recoil and the negation of potential damage within reason. When activated this technique will remain active for three turns and can be used three times per battle. Infusions occur within the same timeframe as the technique which they are applied to, thus making for instant activation. Explosions created/spawned from liquids infused with this technique must initially occur a minimum of five meters away from the opponent.

Description: The user will focus their Bakuton chakra within short-range of their location creating a familiar mirroring the user’s stature, appearance, and size. The familiar is composed purely of Explosive chakra being crimson, yellow, or orange in color. Although this coloration is largely cosmetic and can be changed through the use of other external techniques which affect the coloration of Explosion Release techniques. The familiar is powered by passively siphoning the user’s chakra and is granted a limited form of sentience; this allows the familiar to sustain independence from the user’s concentration. Because of its composition of pure Explosive chakra the familiar is highly volatile and naturally explosive. As such, interactions with the familiar, either from physical matter or opposing technique, an explosion will occur which can have its directionality controlled. The explosion will mimic the size and speed of the invading force. The explosion happens passively but requires one of the user’s three moves per turn. Aside from this, the Luminary’s energetic composition cannot be weakened and as such can regenerate from damage which does not destroy it entirely within elemental strengths and weaknesses.
Aside from its basic abilities the Luminary is capable of diffusing itself into solid matter based techniques (Earth/Earth CE). This is much like the Mandate of Heaven which infuses solid-matter with the user’s Explosive chakra to produce a latent bomb. However, unlike the Mandate of Heaven this ability varies slightly. This enhancement causes the infused technique to gain the abilities of the Heaven’s Luminary. Additionally, the Luminary’s duration will become bound to the technique it is infused into while also gaining the sustained chakra cost of the Luminary. Because of the nature of the Luminary’s reactive defense the infused matter will gain an electrified aura much like the one found in Explosion Release: Hell’s Dignitary. However, unlike the Dignitary who’s aura is inert to the touch the Luminary’s will possess a highly volatile aura mimicking the damage of the original Explosive chakra, S-Rank. For example, should the Heaven’s Luminary be diffused into Earth Release: Stone Golem it will gain the limited sentience of the Luminary freeing it from the user’s concentration while also becoming able to use S-Rank and below Explosion Release techniques. Like Mandate of Heaven, the Heaven’s Luminary can only be diffused into techniques which are created within short-range of the user. However, this does not mean that the Luminary must be within short-range. The Luminary can be present anywhere on the battlefield and diffused into the solid-based technique as long as that technique is created within short-range of the user.
Heaven’s Luminary can be used once per battle lasting four turns. Upon deactivation the user will be unable to use Explosion, Earth, or Lightning techniques above A-Rank for a single turn.

Description: The user will perform a single Tiger hand seal opening a portal in the sky much like Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop. From the portal thousands of rocks ranging from the size of a bullet to a fist will fall from the sky creating a torrential downpour. Each pellet is infused with the user’s Explosive chakra and will explode upon contact with matter or an opposing force. Because the user’s Explosive chakra is laced into the projectiles each produce a small localized explosion when detonated that individually does not produce significant harm. However, collectively the pellets pose immense threat; additionally each pellet will burst into shrapnel upon detonation making this technique very difficult to naturally avoid or dodge. The portal can be created anywhere within the battlefield up to a maximum of the entire field. In the case where the portal encompasses the entire battlefield the user must also be able to defend against the technique themselves. Starfall can be used three times per battle. The portal cannot be created within short-range of an opponent.

Description: Based on the principles of Explosion Release: Starfall and Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop Nebulous Descent employs the principle of smoke creation. The user will release their Explosive chakra into the sky opening a portal triggering an infinite series of small explosions each creating billowing amounts of smoke which will descend upon the desired area of the battlefield. The smoke is thick in nature carrying a warm temperature with it; similar to sitting near a fire. However, despite its temperature and thick nature the smoke is entirely harmless alone only acting to cloud the battlefield. The portal will remain open for two turns as the chain reaction of explosions continues causing smoke to billow downward on the battlefield without pause. During these two turns the smoke cannot be blown away and any attempt to do so will simply replenish the blown smoke with fresh smoke produced from the explosions. The smoke is also laced with the user’s explosive chakra and, while inert, will obfuscate sensory capabilities. Like Rain Tiger at Will the chakra within the smoke will provide a limited means of obstruction sensory allowing the user to detect physical obstructions within the smoke. However, without Smoke Ninjutsu the user cannot manipulate the smoke beyond the lacing of their own explosive chakra within it. Nebulous Descent can be used four times per battle. After the portal has closed the smoke will remain on the battlefield for two additional turns before naturally dispersing during which time it can be blown away.

Description: Nova Shockwave applies a fundamental concept of Explosion Release techniques – the expansion of volume. An explosion is, in its purest essence, the rapid expansion of volume and is manifested in this technique. By focusing Explosive chakra into either, or both, of the user’s palms the user will produce a localized explosion which specializes in rapid expansion – a shockwave. Nova Shockwave, while an Explosion Release technique, offers no common infernal flames; it is purely a shockwave released from an explosion carrying the same force and strength as a normal explosion would. However, Nova Shockwave applies the shockwave created in a linear direction through advanced manipulation found in techniques such as Landmine Fist where the explosion’s directionality can be controlled. The linear direction can be compared to the nature of Bensho Ten’in, in reverse. This technique specializes in repulsion through shockwave using the force of an explosion to push and shatter opposing objects and forces. Nova Shockwave can be applied at different strengths; this applies the same principle but at varying levels of range and strength. D to B-Rank applications of Nova Shockwave can produce short-range shockwaves, A-Rank applications of Nova Shockwave can produce mid-range shockwaves, while S-Rank applications can reach long-range. The shockwave itself, unlike common Explosion Release techniques, offers no explosive damage. The shockwave specializes in brute, sheer physical damage and appears similar to immense gusts of wind. A and S-Rank applications can be used a total of five times per battle while S-Rank itself can only be used twice, counting towards the total five applications. No S-Rank or above Explosion Release techniques can be used in the user's next turn when the S-Rank variant is used.
