An ability that awakened with Ryun's Kagirinaigan, so it is unique to him alone. There are many different styles of shapeshifting to be seen. One is the literal bodily alteration where the body physically changes. Depending on what Ryun is changing into, the different parts of the body will shift, stretch, compress, and expand. This type of shapeshifting is often slow and painful process; articles of clothing are usually lost or destroyed, though not always.

A second style is what can be called the 'fold over'. In this transformation, the subject's new flesh forms overtop of their original. In a sense, it is almost as if they are wearing a body over another, and their old form is underneath. This form of shapeshifting is most commonly painless. In re-transformation, the form will fold back and the subject will 'crawl' back out.

The third is the fastest and most convenient type of shapeshifting. In this style the subject in a sense has two separate bodies that they can freely switch between. This change is always intentional and won't harm clothing, or any other article on the body. Injuries sustained on either of the bodies usually don't carry onto each other, although death of one of the forms usually results in the death of both forms and the individual in question. Whether the two bodies are separate-but-linked, exist only for each other and/or can operate independently generally depends on the source. During the shapeshift, there sometimes is a moment when Ryun seems to disappear, but this is a very rare instance.
