Beyond's Sacrificial Curse (unnamed)
Mechanics diagram
Activation
- Triggers upon the cursed child's death; per Unma, Beyond can cause a child's death at any time to fire it.
Conditions
- Mark is visible only under Gyo.
- Cannot be purged by burning or excising the marked flesh (per the Nen user who examined Longhi).
Effects
- Curses a predetermined target to death on the sacrifice's demise.
- Side effect: bearers use Ten and Zetsu instinctively from birth.
- Furykov fears his curse could destroy a Guardian Spirit Beast's ability — or be reflected back onto himself (ch 413).
Assessment
Description
A generational Nen attack: Beyond fathered children through sham marriages in the Kakin officer corps and marked them at birth as 'curse sacrifices'. Each mark — an eye-shaped seal, Longhi's and Furykov's under the tongue — awakened the child to Nen from birth and primes a lethal curse that activates on the bearer's death, aimed at a target set when the curse was placed. Ten 'strong' sacrifices are known to exist; targets and full rules remain unknown.
