Draconia (ドラコニア,, Dorakonia^?) is the Ability of Tatsuhiko Shibusawa.

Description

Yokohama engulfed in the Dragon's Breath.

Draconia seems to be a multi-formed Ability with multiple variations. At its core, Shibusawa can create a mysterious mist, dubbed the "Dragon's Breath" (龍の吐息,, Ryū no Toiki^?), capable of separating Abilities from their users. These Abilities, which are capable of communication, manifest in either their own unique form or as a mimicked appearance of its user. The separated Abilities then attempt to kill their user; if the Ability succeeds, it crystallizes into a gem, appearing in Draconia's collection room, an ornate dome structured with pillars, stained glass, and countless shelves.

Draconia's collection of Abilities crystallized into gems.

Embedded in the Abilities are red gems, which turn out to be their major weakness. If their powerless user can destroy the gem and accept the Ability as theirs, they regain it. However, rejecting the Ability will leave it dormant inside the user. In rare cases, such as Fyodor Dostoevsky's situation, his Ability did not turn against him nor did it leave him despite being immersed in Shibusawa's fog all along. Moreover, Shibusawa failed to acquire Osamu Dazai's Ability, as it nullified Draconia upon being crystallized initially.

Shibusawa's dragon hybrid form.

Draconia has a peculiar effect on Shibusawa after his death, somehow manifesting as him sans memory and is capable of what appears to be revival so long as his collection can maintain his existence. However, after Fyodor Dostoevsky killed Shibusawa for a second time, he used a fragment of the Ability-gathering gem and embedded it in Shibusawa's separate skull, which reunited Shibusawa with his true body and form, memory intact. In this form, Shibusawa emerges as a dragon hybrid, much like Atsushi Nakajima's tiger-hybrid form. He was physically powerful and agile, making him a formidable foe even against the trio of Atsushi, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and Kyōka Izumi. Fyodor claims that the combined chaos of all the Abilities' true form is that of a dragon, hence why Shibusawa takes on this draconic appearance. This prospect also applies to how Draconia's collection of gems emerged as a dragon as a result of Singularities apparently caused by Fyodor.

Derivation

Draconia (body of works by Tatsuhiko Shibusawa) "Draconia" (ドラコニア,, Dorakonia?) refers to an expansive body works created by Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. From works such as the short story collection Draconia's Tales (ドラコニア奇譚集,, Dorakonia Kitanshū?), the 2017 exhibition Draconia's Horizon (ドラコニアの地平,, Dorakonia no Chihei?) at the Setagaya Literary Museum and even the collaboration bunkobon done with Kadokawa for the Bungō Stray Dogs series, Draconia's Dream (ドラコニアの夢,, Dorakonia no Yume?).
