[Belle Hibiki]

Awareness - Belle's main use of the Foresight technique. By falling more and more into a battle's rhythm and letting his natural instincts take over, Belle unlocks the use of this ability. His senses become more aware, his movements sharper, and his ability to read his opponent appears to jump off the scale. What Belle is actually 'seeing' in this state is hard to describe. It is not reality per se, but all potential realities that all movements around him may yield. He is able to accurately predict, with shocking precision, the path of a punch, and guess with what almost appears to be mind-reading what his opponent will do next. Because of this, he appears to actually speed up in combat the longer he fights rather than slow down. This is just a trick of perception, however. What he is actually doing is moving to avoid blows before they're even thrown.

Awareness starts out unnoticeable and confers no benefit, but grows in strength the longer Belle fights.

Tenshu Dageki (God Strike) - A blow of incomprehensible power, the Tenshu Dageki is said to have vanished hundreds of years ago when its last master, unprepared for the force that he would unleash, brought down an entire mountainside on top of himself.

The way it works is very simple in concept, if extremely dangerous in practice. The two ingredients for the attack are chi and kurochi, the positive and negative of life, respectively. All chi in the universe is counterbalanced by an equal amount of kurochi, which keeps the worlds in balance. All people have both chis inside of them as well, and their harmony is part of what keeps the human body from tearing itself apart. Tenshu Dageki is the art of harnessing these two forces and deliberately upsetting the balance to force that destructive chain reaction, but controlling it tightly enough that it doesn't kill the user.

When successfully executed and delivered through a physical strike, a titanic amount of energy is released. Made from the user's own chi energies, the blast does not effect him, but will utterly annihilate anything within a roughly one mile radius. Trees, rocks, mountains - you name it, it's gone. If hit, even extremely powerful enemies are going to be feeling the hurt in a very major way. Against already weak or weakened enemies, this blow has the potential to outright kill.

It is called the 'God Strike' because of the massive shaft of light that reaches upward from the explosion and into the sky.
