Auspicious Beasts Summon (
Description
Auspicious Beasts Summon is a type of séance technique that transforms the user into a spiritual medium as long as their face is hidden from view. As a medium for spirits, the user can bring forth the power of auspicious beasts numbers one to four. The auspicious beasts' abilities are manifests by the user's cursed energy, and can be summoned by calling out the desired beast's name and number.
Unlike shikigami or curse manipulation spirits, Auspicious Beast Summon does not create spirits to fight alongside their master. Instead, the abilities of the Auspicious Beasts are manifested for the user to utilize themselves.[1]
Usage
Kento Nanami, a capable grade 1 sorcerer with his own innate technique believes Ino's Auspicious Beast Summon is exceptionally strong. So much so that Ino could easily become a semi-grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer if he so desired.[2] Ino always wears a mask scrunched up into a hat on his head. To activate his technique, Ino lowers the mask over his face, causing his cursed energy to rise.
By funneling his cursed energy into his technique, Ino can summon any of the four beasts at will. His go-to appears to be Number One: Kaichi, which he can use at mid-range to fight from a distance.[3] Combined with his hand-to-hand combat skills, Number Two: Reiki makes Ino a fierce combatant as well.[4]
Ino used both Kaichi and Reiki in his battle with Ogami and her grandson during the Shibuya Incident. Once the grandchild shapeshifted into Toji Zenin as a result of Ogami's own Séance Technique, Ino attempted to use Ryu but his mask was taken off before he got a chance.[5]
