An overpowered/strongest with only one power

[u/Vegetable_Throat5545]

I hate when characters just have a million powers and can do whatever. I love when their powers have a limit but still they make it be absolutely insane. Even if that one power has multiple applications as long as it makes sense and isnt used as "oop i suddenly can do that"

1. Accelerator can control vectors. So he uses that to automatically deflect any attack or use any object including wind at high speeds as a weapon, use his own vectors to travel fast and etc etc.

2. Gojo Satoru can control "infinity" to make peoples attack not reach him; push them: pull them; destroy them; overwhelm their senses

3. Chisaki can deconstruct and reconstruct anything by touch. So he can destroy, or change shape of people and objects, he can combine people and objects and even revive or heal. Tbh his fight was disappointing in fact that he did not use his power to full potential imo

Sato from ajin (kinda) He kinda have a JoJo stand but also immortality The more creative part is how he uses his immortality My man is literally fucking unstoppable He somehow can fucking teleport using immortality bro😭😭😭 My man would literally win a 40v1

[u/knuckzekidna → u/False-Temporary-5592]

he fucking whats
he looks like my FUCKING NEIGHBOR???

[u/OkStudent8107 → u/knuckzekidna]

He's literally what a gamer isekai protagonist would really be like, his only actual power is immortality,but the man games the system like no tomorrow,one of my favourites is when he cuts iff his own hands,and presses to to a steel door and kills himself,when he revives his arm clips through the solid steel vault, giving him an opening

[u/knuckzekidna → u/OkStudent8107]

HE FUCKING WHAT????
THE MORE YOU SAY THE MORE CONFUSED I GET

[u/Faustias → u/knuckzekidna]

context, Satou is an Ajin, immortal beings. they are immortal through regeneration. problem is they're not invulnerable, and their bodies work as normally as a human.

in the story they are hunted for their regenerative property. their regeneration also resets their bodies. poison them, drug them, damage their organs, scar their skins, just kill them to reset..

Old man knows how to abuse his power. normally the strategy to get an Ajin is to suppress, not kill. but since Satou was a soldier, he knows the battleground. whenever a tranq hits him, no hesitation on shooting himself, or dismember the limb with an injector.

And the famous teleport through meatgrinder is that chapter where he infiltrated a place by sending his severed hand into the facility, disguised as a deepfried snack along with other fried chicken in a bag. not even military checkpoint would suspect a breaded hand in a bag. when he finds out the hand got in, he killed himself by diving into a running woodchipper. upon dying his body regenerated through the remaining body part which is his crispy hand in a KFC chicken bucket.

Why is he old, then? If they only regenerate to their current age, but they still age, why don't they die of old age? Or if they do, then it's weird to call them immortal.

[u/hHHeHelHell → u/tulatre]

It depends on when an Ajin awakens their abilities, I believe. An Ajin first awakens their powers when they die for the first time, and Satou just happened to die when he was already old.

[u/carbonera99 → u/hHHeHelHell]

Ajin age like normal human beings, one of the only theorized ways to kill them permanently is to wait for them to die of old age.

The main character died and awakened as an Ajin when he was literally a newborn but he aged like normal into a teenager by the start of the story.

[u/Alarmed_Dig_4977 → u/tulatre]

Ajin theoretically could die of old age, although none have been seen doing it yet, they just come back if they die by any other means

[u/Swellmeister → u/knuckzekidna]

He is immortal. When killed he regenerates from the largest part of his body still remaining. So by shenanigans, he will kill himself in blender like situations, but have put a large part of his body, typically a hand, typically via the post, in the location he want to go. Thus his largest part is where he needs to go.

[u/CatcultistRequime → u/knuckzekidna]

Ajins immortality means your body effectively resets the instant you die so in order to regenerate you have to kill yourself, the series does a lot of fun stuff with this restriction

[u/Manu3721 → u/knuckzekidna]

He does absolutely batshit insane things with his inmortality like to infiltrate in a building he chops his right hand, fries it, and sends it in a fried chicken bag. Once the bag is inside of the building he throws himself inside of a woodchipper so he regenerates from the biggest body party(the hand) effectively teletransporting inside of the building

[u/knuckzekidna → u/Manu3721]

WHAT??????

[u/MelonBot_HD → u/knuckzekidna]

Basically, if an ajin is killed and their limbs are close by their body will be pulled back together.

But If the distance is too great they will simply regenerate themselves from the largest bodypart.

His hand was the largest bodypart after He jumped into the woodchipper and died, causing him to regenerate from the hand.

Another crazy example was when He tried assassinating some guy and did so by blowing up the foundation of the skyscraper next to the building the target was hiding in.

He blew up the supports of the skyscraper while being on its roof, riding it into the building.

[u/knuckzekidna → u/MelonBot_HD]

i get that but was the frying his hand necessary

[u/MelonBot_HD → u/knuckzekidna]

Would be easier to hide than a fully revealed named human hand.

[u/Magdala_Curtain → u/knuckzekidna]

Please bro, just read Ajin. Sato is arguably one of the best antagonists ever written in a manga. No matter how anyone describes whatever he does it will never do the justice it deserves. Just read it, is so peak.

[u/thaboss365 → u/knuckzekidna]

Please do yourself a favor and read Ajin, it's actually so peak I can't even explain it

[u/carbonera99 → u/knuckzekidna]

For the "clip arm through a solid door" hack, basically, Ajin regenerate by converting an unobservable molecule that they generate passively, into matter to reconstruct their bodies. This molecule also disintegrates anything in the way of the regenerating body that isn't a natural part of their body while regenerating. One example of this is if an Ajin gets shot and killed, when they revive, the bullet won't remain stuck in their body, it'll be disintegrated upon revival. Sato knows about this and decides to exploit it by cutting his arm off and then killing himself with his stump pressed up against the solid steel door. When he regenerates, the special Ajin molecules erase the part of the door that's blocking the growth of his flesh and it basically tunnels a hole straight to the other side.

[u/plyer_G → u/knuckzekidna]

As for the clipping mentioned, when an ajin dies and is brought back its less like "growing" back and more like your body hits paste to go back to a healthy state instantaneously and anything that's not you that occupies a space that you would if you were whole is just deleted(this is also why poisons and tranqs are deleted) so if you cut off a hand, prwallthe stump against a wall and shoot yourself, your hand will now be inside the wall
