Overuse of either side without the other to regulate their body temperature could lead to either frostbite or overheating affecting their whole body, with possibly fatal consequences. The user needs to constantly alternate the use of both elements, heating themselves with the left side after creating a great volume of ice or cooling with the right side after generating strong flames. This training also helped him learn to use both sides at the same time, which Shoto acknowledged he initially could not do so reliably due to having used and became better accustomed to his right side's ice abilities than his left side's fire abilities.
His body becomes accustomed to the cold, and he learns to control the power output of his flames. This gives the user two powerful, separate methods of combat that they may use regardless of the other.Īs part of his training, Shoto submerged himself in a barrel of water and alternated between his ice and fire abilities to regulate the temperature of the water. Half-Cold Half-Hot's power is perfectly divided between the right and left sides of the user's body. However, the user is unable to manipulate either element that comes from an external source they can only create them from their body. Half-Cold Half-Hot allows the user to generate ice, frost, and cold from the right side of their body and fire, flames, and heat from the left.
