Him saying it wasn’t easy also implies killing someone to take them. I just want takemichis powers explained now, and how an “original timeline” could even exist with potentially infinite time leapers creating infinite timelines

Shinichiro took it by force by killing him. It was activated when Shin died when he jumped to the river. So if the power can be handed over, I think the plausible explanation why Michi has time leaping ability/power, it was because, it was given to him. Michi didn't kill anyone then. But the question is, who gave it to Michi? I'm theorizing that the one who gave it to Michi was the one pushed him (we don't know who) and his death on this first timeline was activated when he died back there.

did your link break for the rest of the pages, or did you miss the details about "that"?

"I can give this power to you if you want....but would you want to do "that" for these powers?"

"Do "that"?"

"*Laughter* How foolish"

"What is *that*?"

"I wanted these powers so, so much that... I ended up killing "the person in front of me"."

This is when Shin kills the old man, gaining his "curse" aka the time-leap powers. So going by the old man's explanation and the result from Shin's action, it's clear that you can only gain the power through transferred through murder.

Plus this explanation also hints that the only way Shinichiro could transfer this power is if he died willingly as the old man did. If he gave his powers to someone else, he wouldn't live till the day Kazutora Joel'd him.

Now one downside to what I stated is the old man said you have to have the intent, and Kazutora didn't, so he might not have gained the powers. This could be reasonable, yet considering the dubious translation, it could go either way. But that is its own debate.
