In the anime Nurarihyon no Mago, when Rikuo uses Kyoka Suigetsu, enemy attacks
appear to pass through him as if he were an intangible ghost. Is the technique
creating illusions or actually making him "untouchable"? It is stated that he
can "distort opponent's perceptions" with the technique, but it is also said
that he can "distort his presence, even when he is still there". So: are enemy
attacks passing through illusions, passing through him, or a combination of
both these things?

Does the technique Kyoka Suigetsu make Rikuo intangible or just create illusions of him?


The ability is named moon mirror because as it was explained "nurarihyon is
the reflection of the moon" a distortion, and I would say that it means he can
first , slow enemy's perception of him to move faster like an after image
technique or second, his body ripples like water to allow him to move around
attacks. His only weakness like this is cutting the fear which means his aura
is masking himself but those two options are viable. I believe it is a bit of
both because he can slow perception to allow him time to move but the ripple
allows him invulnerability against weaker attacks because water can only
ripple so much.
