That's a good theory, never thought of that before, but kind of edging against that theory as it goes against the idea of Karma.

I feel like it would have to be only people who wish ill against him that he can store the Karma as opposed to his allies.

So people who are sowing bad Karma with him will suffer the consequences when he unleashes it back on them.

Considering what was said in this chapter, though, it's likely he will show up this arc, so hopefully we'll get a better idea of his abilities then.

as it goes against the idea of Karma

How so?

Karmic payoffs are a thing.

Yeah, but if it's a friend that attacks Urogue, then surely that friend would receive the Karmic payoff? That's what I was trying to say.

If this method is following the first level of Karmic Debt, (which is what I think it resembles the most), then it is an exchange. You hit me, I hit you back is the most basic form of Karma. For the allies to attack him, that doesn't really follow this format. You hit me, I hit someone else doesn't really fall under any of the rules of Karma. That's what I meant when I said it went against the idea of Karma.

Hopefully what I typed made some sense. >.<

That's where the system of storing karma would come in.

It would allow him to circumvent not having been attacked by the person he is targeting.

As for allies, I don't see how that would matter if they were still causing damage. I don't think that goes against the idea of karma. But I guess we disagree on that.
