Hiragana is not that bad really.

Inial hit is 240 potency. Plus 20 ticks at 35 potency. For a total of 940 potency from basically a single gcd.
If you use kaiten that's a total of 1410 potency still from basically a single gcd.

Compare to like shadow gang. Wherein The same 60 seconds you need 3 of them. That's 600 potency plus the for. 800 potency. Your looking at 1400 potency from 3 gcd.

The damage is adds up to be similar sure but 1410 potency from a single gcd is quite a significant amount of damage.
In that respect it's almost 3x more powerful than shadow gang.
