## Martial Arts & Abilities

The Martial art allows him to morph masks and appearances to whichever he desires, even allowing him to change his height or stature and realistically impose as the opposite gender.

He has learned some other martial art to accompany his main martial art that doesn't seem to excel in attack, but as he reached the peak of his main martial art which is described with thousand masks by collecting one thousand of martial artist's face, he can use martial arts that he never learned that the original owner to the face owns.
