 * Description: The ability to collect debts owed to you in the form of commands which must be obeyed.
 * This ability allows Masaya to enslave anyone who feels they owe him something. The length and extent of the commands that can be given depends on the type of debt. For example, those who believe that he saved their lives are forced to follow orders that put their lives in danger. The ability loses effect once the debt is repaid. Following the previous example, whoever survives the risk that he is ordered to take will be freed from the ability's control.
 * This ability was copied by Shishio in the past and later given to Akira through his ability during Fourth Program
