The mechanics behind Counterpart (sharing bp and gains, etc) are fine. However, the ability to change counterpart whenever, without consequence, is not.
Solution: Make Counterpart a small portion of a different mechanic. Allow Puranto to 'split' themselves, which works similar to mating. The next person to make Puranto will be their 'other half', taking a split of the bp, and reaching the same energy levels etc. This will be their Counterpart permanently, or rather until one of the characters ceases to exist. As such, the same benefits listed above should apply.
On top of this, the Counterpart link should be destroyed if either use Puranto Fusion, which should also be substantially more powerful of a boost if it is a pair of Counterparted Puranto 'fusing' back into one being.
Also Puranto Fusion used while above a certain BP should absolutely trigger a "Super Puranto' form of some sort.
