## QUIRK DESCRIPTION

### QUIRK RANGE

Melee

**Butterfly** (蝶, *Chō*) is the Quirk used by Kocho Tsukihiko.

## Description

Butterfly allows Kocho to freely break down her body's atoms and shapeshift them into a swarm pale purple and teal butterflies and scatter them to create a distraction, a diversion, or simply to retreat. She can reform into her original figure later, the butterflies cluttering together and the atoms break down once more, reforming Kocho. She can freely break down anything that is on her body, such as her clothes or accessories, but Kocho is unable to break down normal clothes woven with cloth into atoms. Kocho is only able to break down her entire body, not just a limb. This is a combination of her parent's Quirks, her father had a Quirk which he is able to control butterflies, while her mother has the ability to break her body down to atoms and reform later on. A combination of those two Quirks results in Kocho's Quirk: Butterfly.

The amount of butterflies Kocho ca break down into, noted by many, could be hundreds or thousands of them.

### Weaknesses

If Kocho were to break down into her butterfly form and reform too many times, she will become very nauseous and dizzy, causing her to throw up. She wears special bracelets to relieve the nausea whenever she transforms. Due to the nature of her Quirk, Kocho is unable to reform if one or a group of butterflies in her swarm is missing or separated. This will leave her vulnerable in her butterfly form, unable to turn back into a human. Similarly, if any of the butterflies in her swarm are killed, Kocho will be injured to a varying degree.

Since Kocho needs special clothing that will break down into butterflies with her, she does not have any armor to protect herself from other forms of attacks, therefore can easily be overpowered if the opponent wields sharp weapons capable of slicing or stabbing.

## Usage

Kocho uses her Quirk in a variety of ways, to surprise the opponent, to create a diversion or opening for others, to retreat easily, or to spy on someone. She can transform into a cluster of butterflies then reform behind an opponent to land a devastating blow, or to transform and control a single butterfly to spy on someone, after all, nobody suspects a butterfly to be following them. Kocho can transform into a swarm of butterflies at will to easily evade attack. She also uses her Quirk to infiltrate hard-to-reach places, to eavesdrop on important conversations, and to gather hyper-awareness of her surroundings.

## Named Ultimate Moves

* **Butterfly Attack** (バタフライアタック, *Batafuraiatakku*)**:** A move where Kocho breaks down into butterflies at flies towards the opponent, dispersing her butterflies before reforming right in front of the opponent and bombarding them with punches and kicks.
* **Surprise Wings** (サプライズウィング, *Sapuraizuu~ingu*): Kocho breaks down into butterflies and disappears, scattering the insects everywhere so it seems like she had retreated, making a distraction before she reforms behind the opponent and slams them with a powerful kick.

## Trivia

* Kocho's name is a direct reference to her Quirk, "kocho" (コチョ) meaning "butterfly".
* Her Quirk was not only inspired by her name, but her Demon Slayer counterpart's Breath Style (Insect Breathing) and a character from a Book series (named Danna Bell)
