## Chronology

### Academy City Singularity Arc

It is been told by Subaru himself that he's used his Save Point ability to 'reverse' the entire reality back to the 'checkpoint' (which is the arrival of Kamijou Touma and peoples from the past.) more than he could count since every time until Toaru Majutsu no Claves' current timeline all previous timelines and the reality itself was utterly destroyed and recreated into the 'utopia' by Z. This was later known as the truth since Z constantly referred to Subaru as 'Cockroach' since every time he achieved the reality warping skill and always known that every time he succeeded his quest and how Subaru reverses 'all of his work back to zero time and time again'.

## Abilities

### Esper abilities

* **Auto-Rebirth** (肉体再生 (オートリバース) , *Nikutai Saisei (Ōto Ribāsu)*?, lit. "Body Regeneration"): The Level 5 version of Tsuchimikado Motoharu's esper ability. Like the Level 0 version Motoharu possessed, this ability granted the user's regenerative factor, capable of healing wounds faster than the normal regeneration would. However, as of Subaru's case, he'd reached the 'pinnacle' version of this ability. Stated that the healing factor has reached the Low-Mid regeneration level, which granted potent healing, allowing for the critical and fatal wound to be rapidly repaired to restore the wielder's health. Minor injuries are restored easily, and even large missing portions of the body and destroyed vital organs like the heart can quickly be restored at the critical moment before death.

Targeting anything other than Subaru's head in order to destroy their brain is futile, requiring for a decisive strike to be landed in order to cause any true damage. It does have its limits in repairing the body, as he said that in the past loops he's been injected with a very lethal virus which lethal enough to 'neutralized' Auto-Rebirth's regeneration since the virus was a parasite in nature and that Auto-Rebirth's regenerative capability constantly destroyed its arm and leg but not the main threat. Making the disease unable to kill him, but also banned Auto-Rebirth regeneration since if he received more damage, the virus will slowly pierce through the antibody and poison the body.

After he died and reset back to his checkpoint at the time, Subaru reluctantly volunteered the Academy City's 'Level Upper' program to increased his healing factor even higher and was successfully fulfilled his wish but didn't evolve him into Level 6 like any other scientists desire. Subaru's current healing factor was so high that it was at the Low-High regeneration level, which can regenerated himself to almost any kind of damage, if there's still a piece of body left, which no matter if it was an arm, a head, a strand of hair, or just a microscopic body cells the ability will automatically regenerate it back to an entire human body. Making him a really hard opponent to kill even without his Safe-Point ability.
### Safe Point

* **Safe Point** (死に戻り (セーフポイント) , *Shinimodori (Sēfu Pointo)*?, lit. "Return by Death"): Is the ability that Subaru Shinonome possessed since his birth, it is unknown how he received it but Aleister Crowley vaguely said that 'he's favored by a beyond being that was completely out of our apprehension and existences, and that being probably liked him enough to give this ability to him'. This ability granted Subaru a status of Reality Anchoring, which is an ability to completely immune to any reality warping abilities (like Z, Othinus's phase manipulation or Merodach's Imhullu) no matter how much it changes them.

Not only that, this ability also granted him the ability of Absolute Resurrection, which is the main function of this ability. Every time Subaru dies, it will not only rewinds time, but it also rewinds an entire existence (this includes different dimensions and the 'New World' of Kakeru's) back to its 'checkpoint', which is still currently unknown how it works. Subaru theorizes that the checkpoint will be the date where he would have enough time to prepare for the threats and problems he faces later on. He also stated that this is both a 'blessing' and 'curse' to him since it can help him fixed the problem the normal way can't (blessing) and also won't let him died no matter what, not even at old age (curse).
Every time this ability rewinds the existence back to its previous state, Subaru would mostly tell anyone what happen before he reverses the existence to the others since they didn't remember any of it. But, there's a chance that someone could recognize that they had already experienced this moment like a deja-vu, although it was a very rare occurrence.
### Magic

Because of his Auto-Rebirth ability, like Motoharu, Subaru is one of the few espers who can use magic, but he's different to the others due that his healing factor was so high that the negative effects when Esper use Magic were completely nullified and he had no problem using it whatsoever. He's been learning about magical knowledge from Claves and the others from Necessarius to be proficient enough at that he could be said as the fully fledged Magician, although he still needs to train a lot more to be professional at it.
