Rashōmon

Rashomon (羅生門, Rashōmon) is the ability of Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Description
Rashomon is summoned from, but not limited to, Akutagawa's coat, and any other garments he wears. It transforms into an omnivorous, shadow-like black beast. Rashōmon has been shown to be completely adaptable and can switch between offense and defense to suit Akutagawa's needs.

It takes on a form of a shadow-like beast made up of what seems to be dark matter, drawn from inter-dimensional or other similar sources. It can consume anything, even space itself. Once space is split, guns or fire cannot hurt Akutagawa. However, the space rupturing ability needs time to activate, so taking advantage of this can give the enemy a window of opportunity to attack. It can be used for both offense and defense.

Types

 * Rashomon Spider Thread (羅生門・蜘蛛・の ・糸, Rashōmon - Kumo - No - Ito) – Rashōmon transforms into thin razor-shaped strings which take a shape similar to that of a spider's web. It can be used as a net to capture the target.
 * Rashomon: Agito (羅生門・顎) – Rashōmon is shaped into the form of a jaw to crush the target.
 * Rashomon: Murakumo (羅生門・叢) – Rashōmon becomes a gigantic clawed appendage which extends from Akutagawa's arm. It can be used to carry out an attack.
 * Rashōmon: Early Blooming Sakura (羅生門・彼岸桜) – Rashōmon changes to a tendril-like form, wrapping around the target and lifting him up high in the air. Once at an appropriate height and distance, Rashōmon explodes into several finely-developed flower spikes.
 * Rashomon: Budding Bracken (羅生門・早蕨) – Several spikes spring up from the ground to thoroughly impale the target.
 * Rashomon: Prison Jaws (羅生門・獄門顎) – A variation of Rashōmon Jaws, considerably smaller in size.
 * Rashomon: Endless Jaws (羅生門・連門顎) – Another variation of Rashōmon Jaws. Several Rashōmon Jaws are materialized by Akutagawa to deal with a devastating attack.
 * Rashomon: Devoured Space (羅生門・断裂空間) - Rashōmon is able to manipulate space to shield Akutagawa, thus, no bullets or any foreign object may hit him. Akutagawa is shown to struggle with his technique initially, as it takes time to activate.
 * Rashomon: Demonic Armor (羅生門・天魔纏鎧) - Wraps himself with an exoskeleton-like armor using the black fabric.

Derivation
Rashomon is based on real life Ryunosuke Akutagawa's "Rashomon, a short story based on tales from the Konjaku Monogatarishū.
