More than happy to give my critique, be it good or bad. And now, my first original concept of 2018:

Name: One Strike (Single Strike of a Thousand Cuts)

Nen Type: Conjuration and Specialisation, OR Emission, Manipulation(?)

Description: A Hatsu for a swordsman with a somewhat sadistic nature, partly inspired by the game "One Strike" and a concept I developed previously.

The user uses their aura to conjure a Nodachi with a pearl white blade, and will be forced to channel their aura through the blade for the duration that it is being used. If an opponent is cut by the nodachi, no matter how deeply, the Nochi will turn red and the opponents name will appear on the blade, whilst a wound less than a millimeter thick will appear on their opponents skin. The cut will then grow larger and larger until it runs completely through the opponent, meaning if they were cut on their arm, for instance, it would continue growing until their muscles and bones were severed and their arm fell off. Once the wound has completely manifested, the blade will turn white again and the opponents name will disappear.

Limitations:

1) Once the blade has been drawn, it cannot be sheathed again until it has tasted blood. This is problematic due to the constant flow of aura that the sword demands, meaning that if it is wielded for too long, the user may pass out or even die of exhaustion.

2) Once the ability is active and the blade has turned red, it can only be used on the opponent whose name has appeared on the sword. However, the user is still able to manifest any number of cuts on their opponent.

3) The ability will cancel out if the opponent is able to touch the user.
