Question about Deathdealing
So I was wondering if Deathdealing is actually what gives Askin his apparent immortality, of if it's just another ability he has, like with the poisons. I didn't quite understand this in the manga. I always thought that for example when his throat was slit by Oetsu, he elevated the Lethal Dose of blood so he could survive with less blood. Even thought this lacks logic in VARIOUS biological aspects, it's how I was used to seeing it. However, how does Deathdealing deal with regeneration?

Then it started making even less sense when he was fighting Yoruichi and her brother. He would consume Reishi of different types from the attacked he was bombarded with, and rise his rise his Lethal Dose, hence creating what seemed to be a PHYSICAL immunity. And again, regeneration.

I don't know I just can't put my finger on a right and concise definition of Deathdealing, or Askin powers as a whole for that matter.

 * In chapter 558, Askin explained that once he absorbed enough of a substance (such as Reishi), he'd become immune to it and thus be able to regenerate any injuries he suffered on behalf of that substance, hence why he recovered from being blown up and stuff. Prior to that, when fighting Nimaiya, he did have his throat slashed open, but apparently he survived that because he'd always been hard to kill even before getting his Schrift. Then it closed up due to the aforementioned regeneration.


 * As for the deal with the physical immunity, Askin basically neutralized Yūshirō's Shunkō after taking that big attack from him by elevating how much Reishi it would take to actually harm him.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:07, April 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Excellent, thank you very much I think I have a better grasp of his abilities now. And sorry I just re-read my previous post and was full of errors lel. Feel free to give this topic closure if necessary.
