The nature of Hishigata's research
Five years prior to the current year of the timeline, Hishigata Mikihiko's research team had spent months testing where in the body esper power reside. From limbs to brain parts, they had removed subject's body parts to prove their theory. As the body grew smaller and smaller the output of the power dropped. Applying this finding in reverse, Hishigata conceived the idea of reinforcing and expanding the body to strengthen its power, which led to the development of the Coffins.[3]
