Kon is regaining his species-shifting, modifying his healing, getting a new charm, and new/upgraded weaknesses. Updates are sorted by powers. Copycat and Liquid Cat are fusing dancing into one Copycat Liquid. Also gotta be removing the Self/Passive Modification stuff, since that's essentially Copycat.
Copycat: Konpeitō can shape-shift into any form between 1’ and 10' tall, though these changes are mostly cosmetic. He can also change his natural scent, voice, blood type, and choose a default form to revert to when regenerating and reviving.
The functional side of his shifting is more complicated. Researching his desired changes and ingesting the DNA of a creature that has what he wants will result in the change being more reliable. He can use 3 functional changes at a time, and it takes him 5 minutes to fully manifest and switch out 1 attribute. It takes him 3 minutes if he very recently ingested DNA with the attributes he wants. His animal forms can be given human traits (ex. the ability to speak), though those also require time to manifest.
Examples: Growing wings allow him to fly. If he becomes a bird, he would still need to wait the 3-5 minutes to be able to fly. Growing muscles strengthens him within a human range. Growing scales gives him enhanced durability (enough to take on the impact of a car).
An adaptation from his Liquid Cat ability takes up 1 of his slots. If all the slots are taken, the least useful or most similar attribute will be replaced.
Kon's shifting isn't under his complete control. He must pay close attention to every part of himself to keep his form consistent; otherwise, his form will change based on his mindset. When sad, his colors will dull; when scared, he'll look small and frail; and when angry, he'll look monstrous.
Liquid Cat: Konpeitō's body will automatically adapt to situations that cause him stress, and then rapidly restore to his default state when the danger/stress is no longer present. The speed at which these adaptations occur is dependent on a number of factors: level of stress/danger, how many changes reasonably need to be made, and how many times the exact situation has occurred to Kon.
Examples: Being trapped underwater is a high danger situation that only really requires one adaptation to survive (gills), so it should only take roughly a minute to achieve. If the reason for being trapped is because the surface of the water is frozen, the change will take longer because Kon also has to adapt to the frigid temperature. The most pressing adaptation would occur first. If Kon is swimming regularly in a pool, the change might not even occur because the situation is low stress.
Most importantly, Kon's adaptations are limited to naturally occurring, physiological abilities and take the path of least resistance. As such he cannot gain abilities such as magic or elemental breath, but things like enhanced strength (up to a threshold of one ton) or flight (with wings) are fair game. Drowning will not turn him into a living water elemental, for example, because that would not be a biological entity and would be too dramatic of a change.
An adaptation from this ability takes up 1 of his 3 Copycat slots. If all the slots are taken, the least useful or most similar attribute will be replaced.
NEW Copycat: Konpeitō can shape-shift into any form between 1' and 10' tall, those these changes are strictly cosmetic. Cosmetic shape-shifts take around a minute to perform. He can also change his natural scent, voice, blood type, and will read as the species he is most closely mimicking to any powers. Kon can choose a default form to revert to when regenerating and reviving.
He is also capable of making up to 3 functional shifts at a time. Ingesting the DNA of a creature related to the shift and being aware of the mechanics of the desired function will make the change more reliable.
By default, it takes 5 minutes for him to fully manifest a functional change. If he has recently ingested DNA with that attribute, it drops down to 3. When under stress, these adaptations are more rapid, dropping his shift down to a minute.
These changes are limited to naturally occurring, physiological changes. He couldn't gain magic or elemental breath, but could enhance his muscles (up to a threshold of 1 ton), gain flight (with wings), or give himself enhanced durability (via alligator hide).
Kon is not in complete control of his shifting, and his cosmetic changes can and will shift based on his mindset. If upset, his colors dull; when angry, he looks monstrous.

Weight Off My Mind: Kon wears an enchanted necklace preventing his mind from being read and tampered with. Additionally, species and power-detecting abilities do not work on him.
NEW Weight Off My Mind:Konpeitō has a necklace with a skull on it that makes him immune to mental abilities, such as auras and telepathy.

Life is Cheap: In most cases, Konpeitō heals from wounds and illnesses faster than a human. The rate of healing depends on the severity of the wound suffered. For minor injuries, such as minor bruising and lacerations, he heals at a rate comparable to a human. He heals more quickly as the injury becomes more severe: up to taking several minutes to regenerate lost major organs or limbs. If Kon is kept on some kind of life support while he heals, he can even survive injuries that would normally be fatal. Death results in Konpeitō reviving several hours to a day later, depending on the extent of the damage. Total bodily destruction has him resurrect in his home. Kon cannot die from old age.

Doesn't need sleep to survive but can sleep when desired. -> Wide Awake: Does not and cannot sleep.
(Just giving these powers a title)
Live and Learn: Once Konpeitō is exposed to something he catches on quickly. He learns roughly 5 times quicker than the average human. For example, it would only take him a month or so to fully understand how to read a language. Something simple such as how to clean a house would take a day or 2 to learn.
Not So Common Senses: Konpeitō has control over his senses: hearing, sight, smell, taste, touch, pain, balance, and proprioception. They can be dimmed to no longer existing or strengthened to be twice as strong as peak human ability. He can see in the dark and his hearing, in particular, can be as strong as a cat's.
Removing these:
Diet: Has the dietary options of both a human and a cat.
Cat-like Physique: Has cat-like flexibility, agility, balance, and reflexes.
Can speak and understand all known Narrow Reality Languages.
