  • Fourth Wall Breaking
When people see this argument most of the time the argument is that Fourth Wall Breaking is not canon to the story, being simple gags that don't mean anything. At handsight this would be correct for most verses, but we are not talking about most verses here...

In Kusuo Saiki No Pai San, Fourth Wall Breaking is completely canon to the story to the point where it is directly a power system and a plot point. There is also many more examples that show the meta fictional elements affecting the canon and directly shown being serious events.

Chapter 73 is a great example to this, Chapter is based on the real world popularity survey. And as it turns out the whole universe revolves around it. Affecting everything from social status, influence and even eating rights.

Chapter 206, Which takes powers SENT BY THE FANS and incorporates it into the story. Even showing a box full of powers with a paper that said "Saiki Kusuo No Psi-Nan Useless ESP".

Chapter 53, Saiki breaks the fourth wall and poses for the cover, The 4-Wall Break then affects the original story and narrative changing its direction completely.

In the verse, it is also shown that all the media shares the exact same fourth wall. Readers, who are entities from a higher dimension who observe the world for their enjoyment, are able to directly talk about the manga and its chapter while being inside the novel canon, they directly state the novel is connected to the manga. We also see Saiki breaking the same fourth wall by referencing the manga, stating that the idea of the title was stupid, he also states he had to deal with it when they published on Shonen Jump. Saiki from the manga also breaks the same fourth wall, proving all of it is connected.

In conclusion this would make Fourth Wall Breaking canon to the story, which means we can use it to find what other medias are connected to the same fourth wall.

Now I can hear you asking, what will this change?

  • Minor Additions from Manga
Passive Aura Abilities.

Madness Manipulation (Type 3, Saiki can distorting people's perceptions when he is angry, to the point to make them faint)

Chaos Manipulation (When angry, he is capable of causing disasters to occur)
  • Minor Addition from Novel
Body Puppetry (He can control the bodies of others through Psychokinesis, just as he did with Nendo's body)
  • Additions from the Games
Psi Battle
Shijō Psi Dai no Psi Nan!

Disagree with the Madness Manipulation, that is apsolutely just Perception Manipulation and being capable of scaring folks half to death, which can result in passing out.

That doesn't read as Chaos Manipulation to me.

Don't give a shit to read over info 2 stuff that isn't my expertise

The actives are a mixed bag otherwise, I see them in parts and don't see them in others.

Tbh the guy was blabbering and went insane, thats textbook madness manipulation. Maybe not 3 though.

Chaos manipulation is changing, and I think this qualifies

... the chatter was the people around? He screamed and fell unconscious. I'm a haunted house actor as anyone who's RPed with me around spooky season will tell you, it happens sometimes.

The active probably qualifies, I don't see the passive as qualifying though.

Actually no, it'd be a combination of Perception Manipulation and Social Influencing(SI for being able to keep up being terrifying)

It'd take me awhile to form one, I don't 100% care on that end TBH, let the mods and you debate on that
