Brotherly Love Hold

The Brotherly Love Hold is a powerful combat maneuver, serving as both offense and defense. When used on a target, it defeats them by making them feel warm, embarrassed, and somewhat happy, which serves to nullify whatever combat potential or malicious intentions that they might have afterwards.

Practitioners

 * Sugao, perhaps the inventor of this technique. He taught this maneuver to Ashibe before Ashibe moved away.
 * Ashibe, the protagonist of the series. Ashibe has used this maneuver at least twice to pacify opponents.
