Once again, I was just browsing random Kill The Past pages and some things came to mind. Lets just get into this
Ghosts
This is a bit of a weird one, but it crossed my mind nonetheless. After Fujita leaves Mika's body, which she was possessing, Mika falls unconscious for an extended period of time. Only later during this specific ordeal does she wake up, catching up with Yukari and Chisato. I'd suggest adding the following:
Limited Sleep Manipulation (After abandoning the bodies they possess, Ghosts will render their targets unconscious for an extended period of time)
Akira
I talked with Armorchompy about the nature of Akira as a character, because initially, I wasn't sure if Supernatural Luck made sense or not. After talking with him, I 100% agree with that ability being on his page in regards to always being picked for missions and getting information out of people without even talking. He definitely is just a non-agent type of guy. That said, I do think his intelligence section does warrant an actual rating. Here's what I'd suggest:
Gifted (Although Akira seems to have absolutely no agency of his own, simply following the commands given to him and managing to complete them through sheer luck, with everyone being none the wiser to this, he is not completely absent of skill. He has received combat training as a member of two different specialized police or military forces, with his teachings being tailored for dealing with especially dangerous criminals. Akira is a rather skilled driver, capable of pulling off perfect drifts as well as catching up to Hachisuka in a car chase despite her head start, the latter of which even complementing his driving prowess)
Basically, I definitely agree that a lot of Akira's effectiveness is accurately described on his page. I just think we actually can determine his level of intelligence based on what he's done by himself and what training we know he has received
Jeane
So weirdly enough, I never considered this detail about the introduction cutscene to Jeane's fight. Travis and Dark Star meet up in a desert, where there's very limited cover and lots of open space. During this interaction, Jeane interrupts by killing Dark Star from behind, completely surprising both him and Travis. Aside from the fact that there was a ton of open space and considering the fact that Travis and Dark Star would naturally have much greater senses compared to that of most Kill The Past humans (even the most mundane of which can sense those remaining hidden without them being in their line of sight), Jeane's ability to sneak up on a highly ranked assassin and take him out, while also eluding the senses of Travis, is a pretty impressive feat. So I propose Jeane gets the following ability added:
Stealth Mastery (Snuck up on and killed Dark Star, completely surprising both him as well as Travis Touchdown, despite them possessing enhanced senses and there being little to no cover for her to strike unnoticed)
Another detail I noticed. Jeane, unlike every other character in NMH, can actually dodge Travis' attacks performed during Dark Step. Given thats marked as Time Manipulation on Travis' page, I suggest adding the following resistance:
Resistance to Time Manipulation (Completely unaffected by, and can dodge Travis' attacks during Dark Step, which briefly slows down times for his opponents)
A final resistance I'd like to add is to Heat Manipulation and Limited Electricity Manipulation given she straight up blocks Travis' Beam Katana with her foot and overpowers him during the same instance. So I'd suggest the following:
Resistance to Heat Manipulation and Limited Electricity Manipulation (Blocked and overpowered Travis's Beam Katana with her foot, remaining unharmed)
On a less important note, I recently learned that Dark Star's Beam Katana is called the Horse Saber, so we can just rename that weapon on Jeane's page. That doesn't require a revision, I just wanted to bring that up. Also, she's actually 23, not 25 like the page says
Diversity
This'll be pretty simple. The trading card for Diversity says the following:
"These guys love invading planets. Their instinctual need to destroy obstacles effectively while moving led to their bodies evolving without legs!"
The instinctive nature is even listed in the intelligence section. I'm just surprised we don't already have Instinctive Reaction on here. Furthermore, I believe this also qualifies for Reactive Evolution. Like this:
Instinctive Action (Diversities have an instinctive need to destroy their obstacles)
Reactive Evolution (Due to their need to destroy instinctively, Diversities became capable of evolving their bodies to where they could move without legs)
Damon Riccitiello
Funny thing about Damon. When I proposed getting FU's intelligence upgraded, I sorta forgot Damon should get Genius Intelligence for the same reason. Whoops! Here's my idea for his new intelligence section:
Genius (As a child, Damon assisted FU in building a rocket, which successfully allowed him to return to his land. Went on to build up a technological empire in 20 years, albeit with the help of his powers. Could hide his plans of killing FU from him and his subordinates)
This would also mean adding Genius Intelligence to Damon's list of abilities
Conclusions
Thoughts?

Conclusions
- Ghosts get Limited Sleep Manipulation
- Akira gets a solid intelligence rating
- Jeane gets Stealth Mastery and Resistance to Time Manipulation, Heat Manipulation and Limited Electricity Manipulation
- Diversity gets Instinctive Action and Reactive Evolution
- Damon Riccitiello gets Genius Intelligence
