I really hope so… this has been on my mind for a while now haha. I want to say that the guy had white hair… but I’m not sure. I think the scene I’m thinking about the two guys started fighting because he was protecting the person he was with from being taken away?? Possibly… I’m not much help! (⊙…⊙ )
My first idea was Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, but there were black chains and MC didn't wore blue, but violet. Blue reminds me more of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, but there control was not in the form of chains, but brainwashing.
I'm going to go through my list of anime, maybe something will come to my mind. If you remember something more then write ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Pretty sure it was Japanese, I’ve googled every single one you have suggested so far and still no luck, I’ve searched through so many pages of my archives and still nothing ヽ(`Д´)ノ I can’t remember if it was just plain magic, I think it was. In terms of the magic swords it’s not mo dao zu shi… although that is verrry good
I'm still a little short on hints, so I'll write down everything that has come to mind so far.
* Talismans and/or chains:
- Tokyo Ravens - MC with sealed powers. It would be my first guess, but art here is definitely not like in SpiritPact
- Densetsu no Yuusha Densetsu - MC with blue cape and also sealed powers, just this part about him being controled by someone don't fit exacly
- Sousei no Onmyouji - well, all anime is about talismans, barriers ets, since mc is onmyouji
- Seiken Tsukai no World Break
* MC that gets hurt by his power
- Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka?
- Blood Lad
I watched an anime a while back and I don’t remember much but really need to find it again! All I remember was that there was a guy who’s powers were being restricted by others. The more he uses his powers the more it hurts him. I’m pretty sure it showed it as being restrained by golden chains and talismans….
