Soul resonance (魂の共鳴, Tamashī no Kyōmei) is a special technique performed exclusively by a meister and a demon weapon.[1]

Overview[]

A technique in which a one sends their wavelength into another person, who sends the amplified wavelength back to the the user in a cycle that create a strong wavelength for offense purposes. The technique was created by Shinra Kusakabe during his battle with the Evangelist, using it with the Adolla phenomena to temporary absorb his family and assume his Shinra-Bashoman form. Following the Old World's transition into the New World, Soul Resonance became a trademark skill that Meisters use with their Demon Weapon partners.[2] This relationship has been compared to the usage of an electric guitar and an AMP by Death, who explains that while the sound (soul wavelength) that comes from an electric guitar (meister) by itself is rather faint, it gains a lot of power when connected to the AMP (weapon).[3]

During soul resonance, individuals in resonance are able to commune with each other's souls and as such, can communicated to one another in a manner almost telepathically.[4] Certain abilities are also boosted from resonance such as soul perception.[5]

Talented meisters are capable of resonating between more than one souls of the same type of weaponry at a time, a feat noted to be quite difficult among them.[6] Meisters whom are capable of resonating between different weaponry simultaneously are known as utility meisters.

Bonds[]

Through what is known as bonds, weapons and meisters are able to resonate with family members and relatives. Uniquely, bonds are impervious to techniques that disrupt the usual process of soul resonance between two different individuals. However, attacks under bonds are not as powerful due to the similarity in wavelengths.[7]
