Priceless Tears (
Description[]
.png){kind=link}
Jōno tries to escape through an air conditioner.
Priceless Tears allows Jōno to manipulate and disintegrate his own body into particles that are about 20 micrometers, that lets him slip through small spaces such as air conditioners and gaps of doors to avoid attacks.[2] Moreover, he can atomize parts of his body, such as when avoiding a sword slice to his face.[3] This cluster of particles is said to appear like an afterglow that cannot be affected by guns or swords.[2]
Aside from defense, Jōno's ability lets him discreetly enter a closed moving vehicle through its gaps, once allowing him to successfully slip inside the Agency's getaway vehicle without being noticed.[4]
Some of Jōno's scattered particles being heated, also damaging him in return.
Since the ability is limited to atomization, the ability does not allow Jōno to be intangible. Hence, his particulate form or distant body particles are not immune to being burned or heated. This turns out to be one of his primary weaknesses, as showcased when Ōchi Fukuchi burned some of his atomized body particles at a high temperature as enhanced by his ability. It also appears that his body particles, even when scattered, still have a connection to his general sensation, so inflicting damage such as burning said particles affect Jōno all the same.
Another weakness to the ability is the closure or blockage of any path he can pass through in his particulate form. Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's Spatial Distortion has once effectively distorted the space of a door whose gaps Jōno planned to pass through, not letting him escape through the door.
Due to such countermeasures, Jōno may be forced to deactivate his ability and materialize back. By this time, counterattacks may have been prepared by his opponent, rendering him vulnerable and putting him at a considerable disadvantage.[2]
