Benjamin's Guardian Spirit Beast
The ability of Benjamin's Guardian Spirit Beast is still a mystery.
We do know that spirit beasts take after their vessel.
Benjamin has been noted for being impulsive and preferring shortcuts.
I think Halkenburg will be a big clue in what the ability is.
It was revealed that Halkenburg and Benjamin are full brothers.
In hindsight there were hints, they do look very similar. I think they are supposed to juxtapose each other.
Both of their Nen beasts stay perched on their shoulders. While Halkenburg's beast is top heavy Benjamin's beast is bottom heavy.
Their relationship with Tserriednich. Benjamin absolutely hates him.
While Tserriednich is the only prince that Halkenburg accepts.
There abilities juxtapose each other as well. While their abilities rely on a unified group and sacrifice. Halkenburg shares in on the risks while Benjamin only reaps benefits.
Both abilities work with marking with them with symbols. Stars for Benjamin and feathers for Halkenburg. On the palm for Benjamin and on back of the hand for Halkenburg.
Which relate to their accomplishments. Feathers on an arrow. Halkenburg won a silver medal in archery.
And stars for Benjamin who received military stars in the military.
When using his ability Halkenburg's followers' aura become an unparallel armor to portect him and an arrow to pierce his enemies.
As juxtaposition I think Benjamin will have a shield and pike. Images used to symbolize the princes advantages. I think it symbolizes the monarchy which Halkenburg is so against but Benjamin is pro.
I think it will a damage transference ability. It will be able to displace all damage even his sickness.
The pike is ornate with a lion which I think is a nod to Benjamin. When we first meet him he is wrestling a lion.
I think it's a nod to his sin of pride (lion's sin of pride).
Nasubi told Halkenburg that being king is bearing a cross and we are shown an image of Cronus eating his children.
I think this hints that Benjamin will have to sacrifice his illegimate child to activate his spirit beasts ability. He wants to make them king.
But illegitimate children have no succession rights.
It was brought up by Balsamilco that there might be a condition that will let a prince see the Nen beasts. I think Benjamin will fulfill that condition.
I think this Nen beast will be the one to convince him to sacrifice his kid. Balsamico stated that while he is impulsive and prefers shortcuts that he is misunderstood and with the right reasoning and information makes sound judgements. With Balsamico gone I think his nen beast will take his place as an advisor.
