Black Flash (黒閃 Kokusen) is a distortion in space caused by applying CE to a physical hit within 0.000001 seconds. Your CE flashes back and you run at 120% CE efficiency.
It’s not random: there’s no roll. You unlock it through the Cursed Energy Skill Tree and trigger it by meeting requirements IRP.
Meet all of these:
Black Flash skill unlocked
In a CRP against another individual
Fight has lasted 4+ turns
You used CE in 2 of those 4 turns
Land consecutive hits based on your CE Control:

Blessed By The Sparks trait
1
Make your next attack a Cursed Energy attack. It auto-hits as a Black Flash. If it isn’t a CE attack, start over from step 1.
Effects
Stat boosts apply to all stats except Intelligence and Stamina.
A Black Flash puts you in the Zone for 3 turns, giving you a deeper understanding of CE.
Zone Black Flash
Cheaper than a normal Black Flash. You need to:
Be on the 3rd (final) Zone turn
Not have been hit during the Zone
Then your next turn can be a Black Flash, giving 3 more Zone turns. Repeat as long as you keep meeting the requirements.
Getting hit
Getting hit by anything during the Zone cancels the Zone Black Flash. The effects fade after the 3rd turn.
White Flash
White Flash (Shirosen) is a newer phenomenon, like Black Flash but powered by Reverse Cursed Energy. You’re going against the flow of CE, so there’s no Zone.
Requirements
Black Flash unlocked
RCE unlocked
Maxed Cursed Energy Tree
Been in the Zone at least once
Hit a Black Flash while in the Zone
Triggering it
Fight someone 2+ entire phases above you
Throw everything away (your life, others’ lives, your dreams) and reach true inner enlightenment
Imbue a strike with RCE: it lands as a White Flash
Effects (6 turns)
RCE flows through your body: RCT applies automatically and heals your wounds.
CE-based targeting barely works on you, and Domains kick you out.
All your CE becomes RCE, so you can only use Cursed Technique Reversals.
When it ends, you must wait for your CE to recharge.
