The Kure Clan (
About
Ever since the Asuka period, the Kure Clan has undergone a 1300 year process of selective breeding, adoption of special techniques and outside combat arts; as a result, with each generation, the Kure have become a race specialised for battle.[4][5] According to the clan's current patriarch, there is no move the Kure cannot combat.[4] Through this selective breeding process the Kure have also attained peak physical performance, including strength, speed and durability. As such, the Kure have an extremely high pain and damage tolerance; in their blood, they possess over 20 kinds of endorphins and, combined with their abnormal physical resilience, it enables them to easily endure heavy damage and deep wounds, whether it be from a slashing attacks or being smashed to the ground.[5] However, the most notable result of their selective breeding process is their ability to consciously remove their brain's limits on their muscular strength output (as well as the physical constitution needed to handle unrestrained exertion of the muscle's strength) in a process known as Removal.[6] The release rate of one's latent muscular strength depends on the individual's talents.[6]
Kure Techniques
While the specific techniques that the Kure have access to are currently unknown, the clan's techniques are designed to give life and take life away.[7]
