| abstract | - Decomposition is a concept that tends to be overlooked within the zombie genre. It may be for the sake of sustained horror that this very natural process is omitted from almost all literature pieces pertaining to the zombie apocalypse genre. This article covers the Max Brooks zombie type While zombies are undead corruptions of the natural world, they are not impervious to the laws of nature. Nature dictates that any living organism will begin to decompose upon its death. As zombies are dead outside of very limited and basic brain and motor function - no blood or oxygen is pumped through any of the organs -, they are susceptible to the natural process of decomposition, but the Solanum virus (the virus that turns infected humans into zombies) makes the bacteria and other organisms in the process of decomposition instinctively 'drive away' from the zombie, making its decomposition rate extremely slow. What the process of decomposition means is that in the event of a zombie apocalypse the undead will ultimately fall to rot, meaning as time goes by their threat will decrease, although it takes years for zombies to 'die' by decomposition.

- Decomposition (分解魔法), rather than being any particular magic is the theory on which some of Tatsuya's innate magic spells work on, namely, Mist Dispersion, Gram Dispersion, Partial-Decomposition (Partial-Mist Dispersion). It is one of the inherent abilities Tatsuya [Destruction & Recreation] was born with. Decomposition describes his "Destruction" ability while Regrowth describes his ability of "Recreation". Note: Both of these abilities are associated with Shiva (Mahesvara), the Hindu Deity of Destruction & Recreation, thus was also used to describe Tatsuya by his enemies during the Defense Battle of Okinawa. Decomposition, also referred to as Dissolution, Disintegration and "Demon Right", is one of Tatsuya's two innate active magic abilities along with Regrowth, relying on his innate talent to directly interfere with structural information. Using Decomposition, after identifying the design of any Eidos, Magic Sequence, or object, he can decompose the design. For physical objects, he can translate the physical object into signals, and then erase the base design at his leisure, breaking the inter-molecular bonds and so decomposing or disintegrating the target. For an information body (Magic Sequences), he can directly disassemble the design. Therefore, if used on a person, the parts that form the human body, including skin, flesh, nerves, body fluids, bones, and cellular structures are decomposed at a molecular level. This is one of the most difficult magic spells and part of the reason why Tatsuya is unable to freely wield Systematic-Type Magic; too much of his brain's Magic Calculation Area is dedicated to this ability and his other ability, Regrowth. Tatsuya is incredibly skilled with this ability. He is able to cast his ability as a projectile, or an area of effect Decomposition magic to act as a defensive wall around him, and can focus it around portions of his body to act as a "sword," similar to the way in which Sonic Blade works. As a result, there are many "sub-types" of this spell; a few notable examples include: Mist Dispersion, Gram Dispersion, and Material Burst. His skill displays not only in the existence of various sub-species of Decomposition, but also his mastery to control the scale. Besides the devastating large scale effects, he is capable of using it to dismantle mechanical devices like arms or locks, and with the help of Fujibayashi Kyouko he learnt to be able to use it to delete electronically recorded data too. Decomposition is not unique to Tatsuya – there are other similar but high ranked spells that involve decomposition of matter and information – but no other magician in the past or present has been able to use decomposition to the degree that Tatsuya can.

(TNG: "Time's Arrow" ) In an alternate quantum reality in 2370, Data noted the beginnings of cellular decomposition in Geordi La Forge's corpse. (TNG: "Parallels" ) In 2374, Dr. Julian Bashir contemptuously remarked upon Keevan's disregard for his men being left to rot on a Class M planet while Keevan himself was safe as a prisoner of war. (DS9: "Rocks and Shoals") In 2375, Morica Bilby's body was discovered in a river on New Sydney, partially decomposed by organic solvents in the water. (DS9: "Prodigal Daughter") In 2376, Tom Paris facetiously described Mortimer Harren as "rotting away down on deck 15" of the USS Voyager. (VOY: "Good Shepherd") Mezoti asked Neelix if the crew the crew of the Salvoxia were decomposed when the ship was found after drifting through space for eighty years.
