Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Dog God of the Black BladeCANIS LYCAON: Tobio's Sacred Gear. It is an independent avatar type that manifests in the form of a black dog, which he named Jin. Jin's true identity is Lycaon, the king of Arcadia, a paradise originating in Greek legend. After ending up on the bad side of Zeus, the chief god of Olympus, he was turned into a wolf, later coming to be known as the true ancestor of werewolves. He can generate blades from any part of his body at will, using them to skewer his foes at close range. He can also transform into a sharp gigantic blade, and can move between shadows to catch his targets off guard. Tobio can use this ability to spontaneously create, extend, and generate large amounts of warped, twisted colossal blades from any and all shadows in his vicinity. He can utilize this by relentlessly attacking targets from their shadows and blind spots, and create blades around himself to act as shields.
The source of this ability is Ame no Ohabari, the strongest of the divine swords known as the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi. Due to Jin's influence, it lost its divinity and transformed into an ominous blade. As the sword was used to slay Hinokagutsuchi, it houses the flames of the fiery god. As a result of the distorted union between both beings residing in his Sacred Gear, Tobio's aura possesses many wavelengths which he can change through to bypass reactive evolution abilities. Furthermore, it can be used to produce dark waves that can numb targets on contact and he can additionally disperse into darkness to neutralize attacks.
*Distorted Blade Dog God of the Luminous Night SkyNIGHT CELESTIAL SLASH DOGS: Tobio's normal Balance Breaker. Upon activation, a large amount of shadows, black mist, and darkness gather around him, covering the sky and entire surroundings in jet black darkness, and he subsequently transforms into a humanoid beast - specifically a hound - enveloped in darkness, with Jin growing much bigger himself. The darkness seems to be capable of nullifying pain, as it eradicated the pain Tobio and Jin felt from fractured arms and injured internal organs respectively. In this state, he retains his ability to spontaneously generate blades, but can now do so from any object or surface by spreading shadows. He can create blades that contain cursed words, with the curse being able to destroy targets from within. It also allows him to directly cut, destroy and harvest the souls of his targets. In this state, he is able to manifest and make use of the black and red flames of Hinokagutsuchi. The blades are also capable of cutting even concepts, such as magic and techniques, as well as cutting through space.
**Dark Demon Beast of the Abyss, Dog God of the Hero’s Eternal Night BladePERFECTUS TENEBRAE LYKAON ET FORTIS DENSUS LAELAPS: Tobio's Abyss Side Balance Breaker which he obtained by polishing his ability to its limits. He gains the ability to create clones of Jin in large groups. These dogs are using the same abilities as Jin - wielding his cursed blades and moving through shadows to attack foes through their blind spots. They can also be reformed when destroyed.
