Chūya Nakahara (Clone)


 * This article is about the implied clone. For the original of the same name, see Chūya Nakahara.

The boy referred to as the original Chūya Nakahara (のオリジナル,) was a clone who possessed a self-contradicting ability to Chūya's, which triggered a self-contradicting singularity.

Appearance
As Chūya's implied clone, his face and body appeared identical to Chūya's appearance, with his hand being the exact same size as his original. However, the boy's eyes were noted to be "a little kinder and much feebler" than Chūya's, and the boy was ghastly thin, which made him look younger than Chūya. While kept inside a special vessel in Research Facility B, the boy wore a plastic lab garment, and his ankles were shackled with silvery-white chains.

After his death when his flesh melted off, he was controlled by N as a skeleton, with his garment and bundles of infusion tubes and cords still attached to his bleached-white bones.

Personality
In his fleeting moment of meeting his original copy, the boy appeared to plead to Chūya with his gaze and wished to tell him something, though to no avail after finally dying in Chūya's arms.

As N's eventual control puppet, the boy obeyed N without personality nor consciousness. Specifically, he was merely bent on killing the nearest ability user with irrational murderous urges upon N's orders, and he therefore did not mind if he destroyed himself when forced in such a situation.

Ability
This Chūya possessed an ability that acted as a self-contradicting ability to Chūya's own ability to trigger a self-contradicting singularity.

He once penetrated Paul Verlaine's own gravity-manipulating guard, even able to fight at par with him and later against Chūya with considerable speed and strength. As a skeleton, his bones managed to stay together due to the gravity manipulating them.

Background
He was presumably created by N as Chūya's clone and owner of the self-contradicting ability. At some point, when they moved to Research Facility B after the destruction of its precedent facility, the boy was kept inside a cylinder filled with bluish-black liquid, similar to Chūya's own experience.

King of Assassins Incident
N brought Chūya to Research Facility B and introduced him to his "original" self. Not long after, N drained the keeping the boy alive in his special vessel and caused him to breathe with difficulty, much to Chūya's panic. He then writhed and struggled while banging on the glass, eventually coughing up blood as he convulsed on the floor.

Chūya demanded N to fill the cylinder at once, but N flatly claimed that the boy had already served his purpose long ago, which was to bring Chūya to life. Moreover, Chūya attempted to do it himself, though to no avail, until he managed to free the boy from the cylinder. As Chūya asked him not to die, the boy seemed to plead and tell him something, but he ultimately died in Chūya's arms. His flesh soon melted until it turned into a bluish-black puddle of liquid.

Later, when Verlaine stormed the facility during N's torture on Chūya, N controlled the boy, now a skeleton, to fend against Verlaine and make his escape. The skeleton managed to land an attack on Verlaine by surprise, much to the assassin's rage towards N for what he had done to the boy. As they got embroiled in a battle of gravity, he tried to bite Verlaine, only for the latter to apologetically blast him away with his gravity.

The skeleton ended up slamming onto Chūya, whom he straddled and grappled with. Chūya tried to reason with the skeleton that he was Chūya, but the skeleton naturally did not comprehend. Buichirō Shirase soon arrived and attacked him from his side; in retaliation, the skeleton tried to bite him, albeit ultimately breaking his jaw after chewing on Shirase's salvaged gems and electronics he defended himself with. At Chūya's behest, Shirase pulled out the cables attached to the skeleton, reducing itself to lifeless bones and vanishing to dust.

Trivia

 * This boy is implied to be Chūya's clone, as he apparently did not have a pencil stab scar on his right wrist like Chūya. Since the original Chūya could have obtained the scar before his ability was turned into a singularity, the artificial ability-derived life-form created after would not have the same scar. If this line of thought is followed, it could then be heavily assumed that this boy was the clone and Chūya the original.
