 * Hey, Sei.

Since The Fox Hunting Tiger has been put on hold (for reasons I assume pertain to us both attending classes), I've decided to work toward finalizing Kousa. However, I have hit a wall; I know what I want to do with him, but I do not necessarily know how to fully tie it in with everything he's been through. Thus far, I have a series that I'm going to be beginnign that'll explain what Kousa did whilst I was away (for those unaccounted for months), and that will open up into what I'm trying to do to complete him. I was wondering if you'd be able to help me.

Sometime ago, we spoke about what healing kido really was. I can't necessarily remember the points you brought up, but I did propose something similar to the Eight Gates. Though, you corrected my interpretation of the kido's body manipulation -- saying that something similar to Gohan's Unlocked Potential could be achieved. As you've probably realized, I've been trying my best to create a sound footing for Kousa. However, I have a habit of making him unnervingly complex. As such I'm hoping to give him the same pathway to power as Gohan achieved near the end of Dragon Ball Z. Using the method you'd say you thought about creating, I'm hoping to essentially mimic the Unlock Potential (or Potential Released as Xenoverse puts it) for my character.

Now, I've already come to terms with what this will mean. As Gohan hasn't necessarily continued his training after the events of DBZ, it is unsure whether or not he can get stronger. Though, as hinted in Dragon Ball Chou (Super's canon Manga), Gohan is said to still have limitless potential. Kousa isn't necessarily anything like Gohan, as he has an aggressive origin (while Gohan was brought up gentle and kind, similar to a less egocentric version of his father). He's all about raw power, and having the strength to suppress and dominate his opponent (think Mystic Gohan's confident, cocky attitude). So, upon having his potential unlocked, he'd assume that was all there was to it -- he had become as strong as he possibly could. The only thing he'd have left to learn is how to properly use that power, and the various techniques existing within the world; he'd need experience to be an effective fighter.
 * Put simply, I understand that achieving a cheap boost like this may result in Kousa never again gaining in strength. Unless, of course, he uses what boost he gets in an attempt to ascend to a higher realm (similar to Goku and Vegeta, or even Trunks upon having his anger erupt forth). In the event that such a thing is possible, the final product of Kousa will be known as Shinto which is translated as God Road (Shinto) or God's Way (Kami-no-Michi).

Anyway, I would like your input on the idea. Could this be seen as Kousa's permanent Shinuchi, or would achieving it cause him to abandon such an ability? Not to mention, if he were able to still hold a Shinuchi ontop of this. . . . would it even make any significant change? Like Gohan, who sacrificed his Super Saiyan (until Revival of F, and Dragon Ball Super), could Kousa potentially combine the release with a Shinuchi. . . essentially rediscovering himself, and the power he holds.
