If the plunging attack hits an enemy in an Anomaly status, it triggers the special Polarity Disorder effect, dealing 25% of the original Disorder effect's damage and adding bonus damage equal to 17.0% of Yanagi's Anomaly Proficiency. This Polarity Disorder will not remove the target's existing elemental anomaly.
