White Line on Black

White Line on Black (黒地に白線) is a Talent owned by Jiro Yoshihara

Appearance
White Line on Black has no physical appearance other than what Jiro draws using the Talent.

Abilities
In concept White Line on Black is similar in some aspects to Kazuo's Talent, Chijikusei Gotenrai albeit with very different useage.

Ink Stasis
White Line on Black's main ability is the ability to keep ink in a stasis, allowing Jiro to draw on air and on any surface. Despite its seemingly harmless nature, the ability is able to be used offensively, freezing ink in the air in order to cut enemies. Jiro heavily dislikes using the Talent offensively however, saying that "it's not in line with his morals".

More often than not Jiro uses White Line on Black to recreate scenes entirely from memory in a 3D space, helping investigators like Rembrandt to check a crime scene or a suspect.

Derivation
White Line on Black was an abstract art piece created by Jiro Yoshihara, the painting is simply a stroke of white paint on a blackened canvas. A minimalist approach that Jiro Yoshihara had mastered over the years. The Talent's ability is based off a different work of Jiro's known as Please Draw Freely. Please Draw Freely was an outdoor exhibition that encourages the viewer to interact with the artwork, in this case, the Please Draw Freely installation encourages the viewers to draw on the installation, creating entirely new artwork through the participation of the viewer.

Trivia

 * The Talent was designed to fit with Jiro's pacifist approach to things.
