Damn, Suiboku still hasn’t handed over so many techniques. If he goes, they’ll all be lost to time. Sadge Ecksachs. I hope Sandy’s can at least pick up other techniques before Suiboku disappears.
Thanks so much for all the translations! It’s been quite nice being able to read this one again. Brought back so many memories.
Not quite.... From what's shown in the story, each Sage, outside of the basic Arts, finds his/her own "Heart" and "Soul" from which the techniques spring after enough grokking.
The Arts themselves are more like...Principles.. which each Sage "discovering" the way to use them according to his individual nature and use of his spirit.
So the way Suiboku uses/activates certain techniques may well not be the way Sansui uses/activates them.
Even if Suiboku disappears/dies, the stories of the Divine Weapons alone are enough to show things
can be done through Sage Arts. It's up to Sansui to figure out the
how , and as a Sage he has the
time to do that. If he chooses to do so.
