Kurourushi was a special grade cockroach cursed spirit released from Kenjaku's Cursed Spirit Manipulation in order to participate in the Culling Game as a player. It was exorcised in a fight by Yuta Okkotsu. Kurourushi is capable of making recitations of chanting with its cursed technique. Kurourushi may choose one of its Innate Technique features and recite one of its chants as an Action. The next time it uses that Innate Technique Feature that has a recitation after chanting within two turns, it will gain two of the following benefits of its choice:
Every subsequent turn it spends its Action chanting the technique it will gain another two bonuses of its choice. The chanted technique may only have a number of bonuses applied to it equal to 7. In addition, the chanted Innate Technique feature will have its final damage boosted by 20% per round it spent chanting. (After all the dice have been rolled, multiply the total damage(s) by 1.2). This damage bonus is capped at 100%. (2x Damage). Rather than using an action, it can perform a more complex variation of Chanting that combines both complex hand signs and delicate recitations as a Full Round Action. When Chanting in this manner it may add four bonuses from the above list to the chanted technique, and every subsequent turn it spends a Full Round Action chanting the technique in this way it will gain four more bonuses of its choice. Additionally, the chanted Innate Technique feature will have its final damage boosted by 50% per round it spent Complex Chanting. This damage bonus is capped at 100%. (2x Damage). While Chanting or Complex Chanting it must maintain concentration as if maintaining concentration on a spell. If its Innate Technique feature that benefits from Chanting allows it to make more than one attack roll or forces a target to make more than one save or has multiple ranges, it may only choose one of those components at a time to apply the benefit to. (Ex: he could choose to apply a saving throw disadvantage to the first saving throw of the technique, but in order to apply one to the second saving throw of the technique it would have to add that bonus to that part as well). It cannot perform Maximum Output on an Innate Technique feature benefiting from Chanting. It cannot apply the benefits of Chanting towards a Domain Expansion.
