Shinwonryu (신원류) is a Shinsu Manipulation style which can only be mastered by "Those who have opened the door" also known as Irregulars.[2][3]

History[]

Long time ago, before Zahard and the Great Warriors (his 12 companions) reached the top of the Tower, a master of The Workshop created a special place called "The Rice Pot" to train Zahard and his companions to undergo "Revolution".[4] At some point, "God" of Guardians taught them Shinwonryu as part of their training.

About[]

Shinwonryu is an exclusive technique only for Irregulars that can be learned from "God" of Guardians on the Hell Express. It's only exclusive to Irregulars because they can control the Shinsu freely without the Administrator's contract or permission because they are not bound to the Tower's Rules.[2] Ordinary Regulars is restricted by the Administrator to use Shinsu freely and need to make contract first.

This technique compresses Shinsu around onto a single point and releases it as a huge explosion. It can also be called as explosion of space itself. According to the "God" of Guardians, this technique is far above what ordinary Regulars can hope to achieve, it's impossible for them. A small amount of Shinsu can cause a great destruction.[3] A tired Baam, using a single baang of this technique on a pack of big Crystal Shards, was able to utterly annihilate all of them in an instant[5] lending credence to the sheer power of the technique.

"God" of Guardians[]

ToG 230 - 05

God" of Guardians's Shinwonryu

"God" of Guardians is an artificial being created by a master of The Workshop to personally teach Zahard and his 12 companions about Revolution. GOG is the creator and also teacher of shinwonryu technique. GOG can make two shinwonryu on both side of his hands. GOG can only use shinwonryu on the Hell Train.

Twenty-Fifth Baam[]

Baam learned Shinwonryu after "God" of Guardians decide to teach him. At first, "God" of Guardians hesitated to teach him because Baam showed a behavior of those who was "consumed by hatred to get stronger", and GOG also afraid that Baam will be the second version of Zahard, but after GOG listened to Baam's explanation, he finally understand that Baam only want to get stronger so he can stay by the side of his friends, unlike Zahard's motive "to stand above others".

Baam found this control skill fundamentally foreign in comparison to everything else he had ever learnt. Although Baam has Technique Replication skill that allowed him to learn a skill in instant by observing or taken direct hit from the opponents skill, he need two months to learn shinwonryu despite it being used on him by GOG.[3]

Data Zahard calls Baam's earlier use of this technique (before he started using it with orb) as a sloppy 'imitation' of Shinwonryu, one he learned from the "God" of Guardians.[6] This suggest that this technique, while by itself powerful, should not be used as it is. Khun Eduan reinforced this by saying that Shinwonryu can only be used when one had already found the quality of Shinsu that suits them.[7]

The design of Baam's shinwonryu has changed from time to time. At first, it's has blue and pink color,[5] but later it changed to yellow and white.[8][9] This is because SIU himself decide to change the visual design of shinwonryu to more of a "light" based or something primal.[10]

Zahard[]

As someone who also has been trained by "God" of Guardians, Zahard can also use Shinwonryu. In his data version, Data Zahard will insert his Shinwonryu into his own body and then release it from his entire body to create a powerful explosion that can destroy the surrounding area.[11] This is similar, yet different to Lightning Pill (Khun Ran and Khun Maschenny Zahard eat the lightning pill to power up themselves). Zahard's technique is more safer and effective.[12] The real Zahard might have changed the way how he use Shinwonryu.

Akryung[]

Akryung vs Baam

While training his Shinsu loop, Baam encountered Akryung or "Ghost" who is suddenly attacking with a giant Shinsu purple baang burst. Baam then create his giant Shinsu orb to counter Akryung's shinshoo. When their Shinsu clashed, Baam finally noticed, but was confused as to why Akryung can use Shinwonryu.[13]

Lo Po Bia Traumerei[]

As one of the original Irregulars who climbed the Tower alongside Zahard and has been trained by the "God" of Guardians, Traumerei is capable of using Shinwonryu. His version of Shinwonryu is called Shinwonryu - All Creatures, where he conjures a massive sphere of gold green shinsu with thousands of what appears to be tremendous amounts of golden shinsu shaped into shinheuh and upon unleashing it, cause them to attack all present within a vast range, capable of destroying the entire Nest with a single activation.

Po Bidau Gustang[]

As one of the Great Family Heads, Gustang could also likely use this technique.

Shinwonryu Floating Carrier[]

Most notably, Gustang has found a way to replicate/implant the Shinwonryu technique into one of his floating carrier warships. As shown, this carrier can use the same Shinwonryu technique and the destructiveness itself is on the same level as an authentic one used by irregulars. As shown where the carrier was able to obliterate entire armies of the Lo Po Bia Family. This also notably gave members of the Po Bidau Family access to the technique and use it by piloting the ship.

Powers and Abilities[]

Anti-Spell[]

It appears that Shinwonryu has the ability to straight up nullify / negates / break Spells. This was first displayed when Baam was able to kill Fabregas, who was supposed to be immortal due to the special Spell of Immortality placed inside the Floor of Death. So, Shinwonryu can break the spell endowing immortality to the entire floor inhabitants.[14][15]

In the case of Lo Po Bia Traumerei, his Shinwonryu could easily destroy the "spell-protected walls" of The Nest.

Notes and Trivia[]

  • Author SIU decided to change the visual design of Shinwonryu to be more based on the visual of "Light" rather than "Water" like normal Shinsu. So the color of Baam's Shinwonryu changed from Blue-Pink to Yellow.[10]
  • It is unknown whether Urek Mazino can use Shinwonryu or not. He once boarded the Hell Express but he did not went through "Revolution" from "God" of Guardians.[16] This because at that time, Urek was stronger than the guardian itself. However, Urek was able to recognize Baam used Shinwonryu during the final fight against Red Thryssa who had separated itself from Hell Joe's body and intended to self-destruct.[17] This indicates that Urek had knowledge about Shinwonryu and had seen the Great Family Heads to use this technique.[17]
  • The meaning of 신원류 ("Shinwonryu") is ambiguous as SIU has not yet provided the corresponding Hanja spelling, when several alternatives are possible.[18][19] In particular, 신 ("shin") is likely 神 ("god/divine", which could also refer to Shinsu), and 원류 ("wonryu") could be either 圓 ("won") and 流 ("ryu") ("circle style") or 源流 ("wonryu") ("origin and development/source and course (of a river, spring, etc)"). It is likely that SIU is playing with several of the meanings.

  18. Zumisumi's name analysis
  19. Post by Cletus originally at bato.to: [... 신원류 can be interpreted as] 신원류(神流派) = 神(shin) + 流派(wonryu): 神 (god, but it is better be Shinsu in this case.); 流派 (wonryu) [noun] 1. The main stream of river (synonym: 水源: a source of water supply) / 2. Nature of matter/phenomenon (synonym 淵源: an origin, a source, a beginning). So it has nothing to do with that blackhole whatever.
