• Yei failed to activate all three Sage Modes together because the Natural Energy overwhelmed his body, so he began adapting the Yin Seal to help fuse them.
• Yei completed a version of the Yin Seal usable by male bodies, but his first test caused it to store Natural Energy instead of Yang Release Chakra.
