Color-Trap Paint-Substrate Vulnerability Doctrine

Status: confirmed · Technique: chekhov-explicit + prop-tell

The seed / payoff

Off-switch mechanic canonized. The Color-Trap is not metaphysical — it depends on a physical substrate (paint on cloth or ground) and can be cancelled by removing that substrate.
Pre-loads later power-via-prop combat-grammar where the prop-dependency is the combat-exploit. Forward examples include:
- Mr. 3’s candle-as-source (Ch. 0123 Mr 3 Candle-Proximity Hardening Speed Mechanic) — the candle is the breakable single-point-of-failure.
- Crocodile’s hook — the conventional weapon component is the exploit.
- Doflamingo’s strings — the strings can be cut.
Tactical-counter via physical-impact — Usopp’s role this chapter is the Color-Trap off-switch executor by impact-collision. Installs the crash-into-the-tranced-target-to-rub-the-paint-off tactical-counter.
