Igarashi Ryuusei's Progression

God's Alibi

Upgrading From:
Type: Emitter.
Rank: E.
Effect: God's Alibi allows Ryuusei to turn any living being or inanimate object invisible. To do so, Ryuu must touch what/who he wants to turn invisible (including himself) with five fingers of either hand and with the intent of turning what he touches invisible ("locking"). In order for the invisibility to be activated, Ryuusei must hold his breath.

Drawbacks:
- The first and most obvious drawback to God's Alibi is that it is intrinsically linked to Ryuu's lung capacity. As a consequence of this, Ryuusei can only maintain something/someone invisible for the amount of time that he's able to hold his breath, making the effect of the invisibility disappear as soon as he begins to breathe again;
- The second drawback to Ryuu's Quirk is that he can only make one living being invisible at a time. This means that if he makes person A invisible he can't make himself or person B invisible at the same time. This rule also applies to himself: if Ryuusei makes himself invisible it's impossible for him to make person A or person B invisible at the same time. This drawback applies to every living being (animals included), but not to inanimate objects.
- A third thing to point out is that, when turning other humans invisible, Ryuu can't alter their Quirks in the same way he can alter their body. So, depending on the type of Quirk, Ryuusei might not be able to turn someone invisible at all or not be able to make certain body parts invisible. This also means that any kind of emitter or transformation Quirks that are always active cancel out Ryuu's God's Alibi. Logically, this drawback makes it almost impossible for Ryuu to turn a person with a Mutation Quirk invisible;
- A fourth and final drawback is that God's Alibi also has a reset time. Every time that Ryuu uses his Quirk he must wait a certain amount of time before safely using it again, this due to the amount of pressure that is applied on the boy's lungs. Right now, that amount of time is exactly half of the time that he last turned something/someone invisible (ex.: if he held his breath for two minutes he has to wait one minute before using the Quirk again). If Ryuusei ignores this reset time and forces God's Alibi to function the Quirk would still work, but with the high risk of physical damage. Depending on the amount of time Ryuu spent forcing his Quirk to be activated, his lungs could become contused, lacerated or even gain permanent damage, decreasing Ryuusei's lung capacity forever or, in a worst case scenario, making him unable to use God's Alibi again. A small detail to add is that a small cold or the flu would probably make Ryuu unable to properly use his Quirk, being that for God's Alibi to work he must be able to breathe properly.

Upgrading to:
Type: Emitter.
Rank: D.
Effect:
God's Alibi allows Ryuusei Igarashi to turn any living being or inanimate object completely invisible. To do so, Ryuusei must touch who or what he wants to turn invisible with five fingers of either hand and with the conscious intent of later activating God's Alibi ('locking'). This general rule also applies to when Ryuusei wants to use his Quirk on himself. In order to activate his Quirk, Ryuu must hold his breath.

After understanding that God's Alibi functions according to his own will, Ryuusei Igarashi began exploring the idea of being able to turn someone completely invisible without having to touch every single piece of clothing that said someone is wearing. Starting to visualize a person as a whole instead of an aglomerate of individual things, Ryuusei is now able to 'lock' a living being with just one touch. This makes it possible for Ryuu to turn both person and their clothing invisible by just touching the individual one time, turning the need to 'lock' every item of clothing a thing of the past.

Drawbacks:
The first drawback to God's Alibi is that it is intrinsically linked to Ryuusei's Lung Capacity Ability. As a consequence of this, Ryuu can only maintain someone or something invisible for the same amount of time that he is able to hold his breath, making the effect of the invisibility disappear as soon as he begins to breathe again.

The second drawback to God's Alibi is that Ryuusei can only make one living being invisible at a time. This means that if he makes Person A invisible he can't make himself or Person B invisible at the same time. In the same manner, if Ryuusei makes himself invisible then it's impossible for him to make Person A or Person B invisible aswell. This drawback is applied to every living being, but not to inanimate objects. However, despite being able to turn any amount of inanimate objects invisible at the same time, those objects cannot surpass the mark of 10 meters in either heigh or width.

The third drawback to God's Alibi is that, in regards to turning other human beings invisible, Ryuusei can't alter their Quirks in the same way that he can alter their bodies. This means that activating God's Alibi on a Quirker and make them fully invisible is possible, but if the mentioned Quirker activates his Quirk while under the effect of God's Alibi then the invisibility stops immediately - even if Ryuusei is still holding his breath. That being said, it is obvious that it becomes impossible for Ryuusei to turn any human whose Quirk is always active (wheter it is an emitter, a transformation or a mutation type) invisible.

The fourth drawback of God's Alibi is its reset time. Every time that Ryuusei uses his Quirk he must wait a certain amount of time before safely using it again, this due to the amount of pressure that is applied on the boy's lungs. This amount of time increases accordingly to the amount of uses: after the first activation there must be a one post break, after the second activation a two post break and so on. Ryuusei can ignore this reset time and force God's Alibi to function, but such thing comes with the high risk of physical damage. Depending on the amount of break posts that Ryuusei ignores, his lungs could become contused, lacerated or even gain permanent damage, decreasing Ryuusei's Lung Capacity Ability forever or, in a worst case scenario, making him unable to use God's Alibi again.
