Moveset

Move Name	Image	Assigned Key	Description
Exploding Vanishing Image			The user creates three clones around them that rush towards the nearest enemy and attack them with melee attacks. These clones explode upon being hit, dealing damage to nearby enemies, though they will also automatically explode after a few seconds even if they are not hit.
Ken Style: Crescent Hamon			The user forms three tornadoes from their sides, and dashes forward, damaging anything that comes in contact. Immediately afterwards, the three tornadoes will all meet together at the target, damaging and knocking them back.
Flame Style: Dragon Bullet			The user fires seven dragon head-shaped fireballs at the direction of the cursor. Upon impact, the fireballs explode, deal damage, and knock the enemy back. The fireballs are also capable of homing.
Copy Style: Fire Blaze			The user fires blasts of black fire at nearby enemies, damaging and burning them for a few seconds afterwards. These blasts of black flames are also capable of homing.
Bankai Blade			The user coats the Bankai Blade in black flames and throws it at the direction of their cursor like a projectile. Upon hitting a target or having travelled its maximum distance, the sword will burst into a blast of black fire while teleporting the user to its location, dealing damage and burning nearby enemies.
Shurikens			The user can throw shurikens at the direction of their cursor, dealing damage upon hitting a target. These shurikens are also capable of homing.

Copy Style: Pain			The user casts an illusion on up to three enemies you face, damaging and briefly stunning them while causing the enemies to see themselves being placed against a cross in a dark world with the clones of the caster surrounding them. From the user's perspective, enemies afflicted with the illusion kneel onto the ground with a black dome surrounding them.
