### Innate Technique

**True Sight** (真視力, *Ma Shiryoku*?, Lit. "True Eyesight") is Ritsu's Innate Technique that gives her the distinctive plus-sign pupils. It grants her unparalleled vision enabling her to see with the highest clarity and clearance no matter the environmental conditions such as dust or smoke. Prior to joining the Jujutsu school, she was able to see cursed spirits and bypass manipulations of perception and illusions, bypassing them and seeing her target. It also increases the processing of visual information with specialized photoreceptors that goes into her brain instantly, and with only physical limitations can react accordingly. Not only that, it also grants her perfect acute perception and able to fire firearms with near-perfect accuracy, to which no matter the distance will hit 95% of the intended target. It can also be utilized in unarmed combat, allowing her to aim precise strikes at her opponents with her fists, as well with her weaponry to target mid to long range figures with ease.

However True Sight is limited by the physical capabilities of Ritsu, as such even though she may be able to process fast-moving objects enough to see it with clarity, she may not have the physical agility or strength to actually evade it.

Another to note is by utilizing more on True Sight, the cursed energy strains her eyes for prolonged use which resulted in her left eye bursting out of her socket, greatly weakening her Innate Technique and her overall capabilities.
