Data Drain refers to a fictional gameplay element in the .hack universe.

Data Drain is first seen in .hack//SIGN as the attack that Tsukasa's guardian uses. Data Draining supposedly rewrites the target's data in The World, but in .hack//SIGN is shown as the victim turning gray and dying. It is also hinted that the attack somehow harms the player in real life, such as the victims falling into coma in .hack//Liminality.

[edit] Description

In .hack//GU, Data Drain is a skill that only Epitaph Users such as Haseo can use when transformed into their Avatars. This does not seem to be a necessity, however, as recent scans have shown Haseo Data Draing in his 3rd and 'Xth' Forms.

Another note: Azure Kite (.hack) has a bracelet very different than the original Kite's.
