My Zanpakuto
Spoiler:
Unreleased form
Spoiler:
In it's sealed form my zanpakuto looks like a regular katana except that it has the words "Knowledge is the greatest power you shall gain" encrusted on it's blade and the hilt is blue wrapped in a black ribbon and has a blue horse hair tassel.
Shikai
Spoiler:
My shikai's opening command is "Bring me victory".It's soul's name is "Demonic Warrior".In my shikai I control the carbon atoms that make up my sword.
First technique "Critical Pressure"
With this technique I condense my reiatsu to make my blade change it's density or molecular binds meaning my sword doesn't have to get smaller to become sturdier.Thus my blade can be as weak as pencil lead or as hard as diamonds.
Second technique "Divide & Conquer"
Since my zanpakuto is made of atoms I can make them divide into as many pieces as I want to.This means I can make myself a second sword or I can change them into other weapons such as a bow and arrow. My best use of this technique is to make it split into pieces of one atom (the particles will now be invisible to the naked eye) and make them go within the enemy's body.This overdose of carbon will kill the enemy within minutes.
Third technique "Fatal Inferno/Fatal Blizzard"
With this technique I can change the vibration speed of the carbon thus making it hotter(Fatal Inferno) or colder(Fatal Blizzard).By making the vibrations faster I can make it as hot as the sun's surface or slower to make it as cold as 1 degree Kelvin.
Fourth technique "Rai no Jigoku"(Hell Lightning)
By making the electrons spin faster "Demonic Warrior" is filled with negative charge.This produces an amount of electricity equivalent to the amount produced in China's Three Gorges.
Bankai
Spoiler:
My bankai is called "Demonic Warlord" and is activated by the sentence "Bring my enemies defeat".
It's first technique is called "Essential Unity"
To activate this technique I stab myself in the chest. Once I do,I merge myself with my zanpakuto(It attaches to my arm) and I can use all of the abilities I had in shikai. Providing me a nearly impenetrable defense(I am immune to any attack that is sharp in nature). Note:none of the actions taken by me will damage me for example the stab I use to activate my bankai or the temperature used in the second technique of shikai.
Second technique "Rotting Cage"
To activate this technique I must throw my zanpakuto into the air and call out the name of the technique. Once in the air my sword shatters into millions of pieces then it reforms in the shape of a coffin around my enemy.This cage will get smaller every second and will still provide me the full arsenal of techniques I have in shikai.It will also let me use kido and other techniques that in which I need to use my hands.
Third technique "Coup De Grace"
This is technique that requires the most concentration as it is the most powerful one of my bankai. It's also the most unique as it is not a technique itself, but rather a combo of two or more of any of the previous techniques.
Spoiler:
Second Bankai Stage:
Everything stay the same except that i can now make carbon atoms out of anything(certain conditions apply) and I can control all their physical and chemical properties. This has a backdraw though, it requires a lot of time and a lot of reiatsu.
Spirit of my zanpakuto
Spoiler:
Don't forget about my vizard powers

Zanpakutou - Hall of fame entry:
Spoiler:
Goroth's Stallion (Ateuma)
Spoiler:
Zan name: Stallion (Ateuma)
Fighting type: Mid and close range
Unreleased:"Stallion or The Stallion of the Mountains" is a weapon forged in the high mountains of the far western province of ancient Mongolia. In it's sealed state is a traditional music instrument. In its sealed state, it is not capable of engaging in melee combat like others. However it can give a distorting sound to the enemy to quickly pose for battle. The zan is carried on the back of my deel (see Shikai form for the costume) Sealed zan:Spoiler:
Released zan: Spoiler:
Shikai (1) command:"Slay! Seering Stallion" (Kirikorosu, Senken Ateuma!) Shape and form: Ancient war bow & arrow with an everyday life deel. Stallion's first release will be the first in the sub-release as well, starting from this point it beautifully morphs into a bow and arrow. Because it's literally feeding of the reaitsu it's size and other attributes can be modified with ease. A sign of mastering the swordsmanship and marksmanship. Spoiler:
Shikai (2) command:"Attack! Slicing wind of the Stallion" (Utsu, Kaze Suraishingu no Ateuma!) Shape and form: Same as the previous sub-release, other than the weapon morph, nothing else is changed. Spoiler:
Second to the stage, the bow and arrow are now shield and sword. Fighting range decreases but speed doubles as the name suggests, slicing wind, the blade's bended shape is perfect for flash-strikes. During sub-release in shikai, the side-effect of the attack transparency is activated. The reason behind this is, whenever attacking, step by step moves create false image, like a split second clone. It's a both defensive and offensive advantage while in flash-strikes.
The second initial release will be devoted for close range fights. Perfect for force and flexible move orientated strikes. The blade of the sword will be covered in reaitsu flows, which can imitate a saw like movement with high-speed to cut into it's opponent's weapon or body. Same effect for the shield as well, to deflect and decrease the force of a coming attack. Side effect:Once in a while, the slicing strike combined with devilish speed can severely damage the opponent in multiple places. This move is called whip of the black stallion.
Bankai command:"Arise! Black Stallion Horde" (Okoru! Kuro Ateuma!) Bankai form: Spoiler:
Shape and form: Ultimate form of the shinigami prevails as the ban-kai is activated and all hell breaks lose, literally. The shinigami has the stallion as his weapon and faithful horse. Armed with the blade and shield, battle armor is also formed.
Final release will triple the speed of the previous stage and it will be very fast and deadly. All shikai sub-release and abilities can be used in this stage and as bonus, the reiatsu pressure also triples making the opponent slow down, thus making striking more successful (do not forget the whip of the black stallion)
When attacking, the reaitsu flow will be devastatingly large and the sheer pressure will cause the opponent to slow down intensively, rendering him to become earth-bound. Once the opponent's speed and movement decreased, the actual strike will take seconds to form. This attack is called Black Stallion Horde's Wrath (Kuro Ateuma Gekirin!). The warchief (me) unleashes the gates of hell and awakens dead souls (battle fallen ones) from another realm and circles the opponents. They too emit the huge pressure and eventually pins down the prey. Once trapped and nerveless, they strike with full force combined (arrow + blade slice). Attacking:Spoiler:
Bankai passive ability: The reiatsu pressure is also known as Doom. The opponent is encircled by the stallion army (horde) and virtually has no way to escape, hence the name.
Zan spirit: Spoiler:
Long time ago, there was a Warlord in the ancient central Asia lands and he had the most feared army of all, the Black Stallion Horde or the Horde in short. Commanding and general of the horde, he also ruled with an iron fist. Not only being a blood thirsty warrior, he also practiced age old religion and is said to have been gained his montrous strength from the hellbound spirits. To obtain great power and mind, he sacrificed his soul and now the demon resides in him...
Vizard and other stuff coming soon.
Big thanks goes to Nana for the translation, thanks!
TBTP=Turn back the pendulum
Do NOT skip that arc. It's like a huge piece of vizard candy.

My Zanpakutō: 端ささやき - Hana Sasayaki - Edge Whisper
Zanpakutō fighting style: 忍術 - Ninjutsu
Inner World:
Spoiler:
A perpetual full moon night with an under developed terrain; spotted with flowered trees and sparse shrubbery. There is a constant casual breeze felt at all times, always rising and falling. As if by mirage, a 7-story pagoda vaporizes into view at the will of my zanpakutō. It is his dojo. In this world undisturbed is no sound, save the wind and his whisperings.
Sasayaki Enshi's TRUE FORM
Spoiler:
the book contains his secret art form and is written in his language.
Before I learned his name, Hana Sasayaki rendered hallucinations of his realm and shadowed figure. At first terrified, I mistook his figure as Death himself seeking combat. To stand in his presence took my very breath and his gaze made movement arduous. While training, randomly he'd draw me into my inner world. At the point we parried in combat, my breath waned as his faint whispers fell upon my ears. This we did for a time until I strengthened and was able to make out his words... Hana Sasayaki.
Communication in its early stages was only achieved with a careful ear. Hana Sasayaki finds the lack of light tranquil... nonetheless, incandescent shadow is his most comfortable environment.
By moonlight, he reads and scribes his secret art form in a book engraved with his shuriken.
Unreleased:
Spoiler:
端ささやき 六尺棒 & 車剣 - Hana Sasayaki Rokushakubō & Rokukurumaken
(Edge Whisper Six Shaku Staff w/ Six Shuriken)
Each metal link and shuriken is encased with black Sekkiseki stone, the purest & rarest of this stone ever to be found. Notice: It is the nature of black Sekkiseki stone to drain reiatsu. My spirit pressure is only concealed by this; as it was chiseled & reiatsu blasted by my own reiatsu during my reclusive training deep within the Sekkiseki mines as I called upon it for the first time). Still under investigation by The Shinigami Research Institute of Technology... it is yet to be determined if it is to be officially labeled as strength or kidō based. However, it is clear that Hana Sasayaki is one of the rarest of zanpakutō, and appears to be equally balanced by both power and ability. Unlike any other zanpakuto ever documented in record before, it is madeentirelyoftamahagane. Though the encasing in its rare stone provides some rigidity, the interlocking links allow for a generous amount of flexibility. Note: The shuriken bag is worn concealed within my belt.
Shikai Form I
Spoiler:
Release command: 慈悲無し、妥協無し、端ささやき
(Jihi nashi, dakyou nashi, Hana Sasayaki)
(There is no mercy, There is no compromise, Edge Whisper)
(Yes, at the base of the blade is: 端ささやき (Hana Sasayaki - Edge Whisper)
In shikai's first form, opposite of tradition, Hana Sasayaki takes the form of a katana along with its 車剣 - Rokurumaken (round shuriken). Notwithstanding, it is worn in the traditional tachi of the ninjutsu, having its saya placed on my back, wrapped intricately into my Wushu Gi (custom sleeveless ninja uniform).
My zanpakutō's substance is the absence of light and sound. This gives me a shadow step that could go almost undetected by captain level. Truly, in broad daylight, you may sense me, but you more than likely won't see me until its nigh too late. Notice: Hana Sasayaki's blade has taken on the color and reiatsu draining characteristics of the black Sekkiseki stone.
Added bonus is the technique: 1.)来る端のささやき (Kuru, hana no sasayaki - It comes, whisper of the edge...)
Which is largly due to my increased speed; this is actually zanjutsu crossbred with shunpo technique. Its speed is so absolute, that it is quite often unseen by slower opponents, and this renders the attack almost completely silent. To an opponent approaching my speed level, this would give my zanpakutō the ability to appear as 10 vaporous swords trailing in one swipe. (If my opponent is even fast enough to see that...) Its motivation is to eliminate the threat immediately; whether by maiming or fatality. Though the sound mimics the faintest whisper when swiped through the air, any interference in its path of motion from another reiatsu weapon causes a violet spark at the instant the weapons contact. Instantaneously, during this very brief moment, Hana Sasayaki samples reiatsu from the opponent's zanpakutō. While this is not draining to the opponent's zan, it allows me to quantify the battle. Only brief contact is advised. (When cut, the opponent finds Hana Sasayaki not only draws blood; but is also stifling, making it more and more difficult to breath.)
Shikai Form II
Spoiler:
Release command: 無敵で静粛なる恐怖の影、端ささやき!
(Muteki de seishuku naru kyoufu no kage, Hana Sasayaki)
(Shadow of the invincible, silent fear, Edge Whisper)
段平 Danbira (Japanese broadsword) & 車剣 - Rokurumaken (round shuriken)
24" black Sekkiseki blade
4" wide at largest point
Futasujibi (dual ridged shinogi)
12" black Sekkiseki tsuka
My close quarter combat "Wushu Taijutsu" though resembling, is much different from "recognized" kungfu. Heavily accented by effortless ninjutsu movements, this is truly a self interpreted, customized style.
Current reiatsu level now triples in preparation for the next stage. Notice: I have included its intermediate appearance so you observe that Hana Sasayaki does not loose its reiatsu draining black Sekkisekki blade. In this form, as you see, the blade has materialized into vapor; yet it still cuts as if completely whole. Accompanied by increased reach, it has the fluidity of a free floating vapor. I am able to attack at will from every side so long as its vapor is visible. Even when an opponent has the ability to move the air and/or create wind, Hana Sasayaki still drains as it is suffocating to the opponent's reiatsu when breathed in through the air.
Currently I have a total of 3 techniques:
1.)来る、端のささやき (Kuru, hana no sasayaki - It comes, whisper of the edge.)
2.)話せ、端ささやき (Hanase, Hana Sasayaki - Speak, Edge Whisper)
Spoiler:
This command spells the end as Hana Sasayaki actually whispers audibly and can be literally heard on the battlefield saying: "総全滅" (Kaijin - Total Annihilation). This causes all vapors to lift the opponent's body, binding them near motionless as they seem to be engulfed in dark violet (almost black) vaporous fire. While all Hana Sasayaki's vapors are gathered in one place, the opponent struggles not to be stiffled by Hana Sasayaki's absorbance of their reiatsu. This technique enables me to perform Kaijin - Total Annihilation, a 177 count mid-air hit & hold combo that cuts, punches, kicks, and throws my signature "" shuriken. (I know what you're thinking, but remember, Hana Sasayaki is an all around zanpakutō having both power & kidou. Notwithstanding, it is also a vapor as well; capable of being suspended in mid-air.) (These characteristics give me the gift of airborne combat before Bankai is even initiated). This move uninterrupted spans about 15 seconds. Each calculated move is part of a disciplined equation in attempt to disrupt and disorient the opponent's ki channels (reiastu flow), all the while releasing my own which causes violet lightning to spit the sky during the length of the attack. (this pic of the sky during Kaijin - Total Annihilation shows the potential when executed in bankai)
The ending blow is a most powerful roundhouse kick to the earth that I can substitute whispering (usually taunting in the opponents ear...) BANKAI.
3.)ばんじんで闇が動く、 暗錯覚(Banjin de yami ga ugoku, Kuragari Sakkaku)
(Darkness moves on the face of the deep, Dark Hallucination)
Spoiler:
This attack actually is a precursor for Bankai and is optimal when followed by Hana Sasayaki's final release. It causes the opponent to enter 暗錯覚 - Kuragari Sakkaku (Darkness Hallucination), a mental illusion which enables me to attack their mind's will... literally.
This delusional monochrome dimension is a dark dessert without a moon. Yet, it is not without light.... this "perceived" light is actually a deception within itself... the ground is glowing and has the same characteristics as the black Sekkiseki stone feverishly zapping reiatsu with every step. By brute force mentally, it allows me to create a state of extreme mental confusion; and is completely invisible and undetected by any onlooker outside of the battle. Truly to the beholder, the fight would seem to progress without consequence to this technique, save the possible mental detachment the opponent may have during its execution. An unaccustomed or unaware opponent would find this quite perplexing and confounding to mid-combat progression. Stemming from mental management of reiatsu control; any injuries accepted as real during the struggle blacking out under the spell of Edge Whisper's Kuragari Sakkaku, result in actual physical wounds in reality... and you must defend yourself appropriately.
BANKAI 致命的なささやく呼吸 - Sasayaki Enshi
(Suffocating Whisper of Death)
Spoiler:
I still retain my Rokurumaken shuriken and all techniques, intensified in bankai as afore mentioned, but with added characteristics: Reiatsu roars up a crushing 8x as I release a sizable amount of my spirit's pressure and the entire surrounding area (1/4 mile radius) is blacked out into total darkness. The only light is the vapor from Sasayaki Enshi. Which once appeared black, now in darkness shows as violet smoke, painting a huge silhouette of his face.
Behold the FINAL LEVEL, 致命的なささやく呼吸(Sasayaki Enshi - Suffocating Whisper of Death.) Bankai pushes the envelope as my form smokes as well. Through Sasayaki Enshi's abilities I am now able to materialize into vapor mid-fight at any given time I choose. This is usually during shadow step, and may be implemented as an evasive maneuver if attacks are unavoidable and seen prior to contact. (logically speaking, the condition is that there is a way of escape, otherwise, vaporization is useless)
牽引 アウト 其の 残滓 之 生命
(Kenin Auto Sono Zanshi no Seimei - Draw out the dregs of life...)
Spoiler:
Now hooded, I shroud my face in shadow. Chanting in the lowest whisper, I condense Hana Sasayaki's vapor through hand moves from the obscure ninjutsu arts:
"無言 中 其の 影, 其の 声 わ 敵わない 御座る 拝聞 牽引 アウト 其の 残滓 之 生命"
("Mugon Naka Sono Kage, Sono Koe wa Kanawanai Gozaru Haibun...
Kenin Auto Sono Zanshi no Seimei")
("Silence in the shadows, The voice that cannot be heard...
draw out the dregs of life.")
I manipulate the vapors to enter the oxygen pathways of my opponent's body. (the ears, mouth, nose, & eyes). Although for this attack it doesn't cut, Hana Sasayaki has always drained reiatsu and breath. It still does now, depleting the life force of the opponent. Causing the respiratory tract to begin to fail, the heart struggles not succumb to arrest. The lungs begin to rupture at worst to the point of hemorrhage. Slowly, as life departs the opponent, the last sense that leaves is ability to hear. At which Sasayaki Enshi reverberates from within, whispering departure saying: 生命 ざり たった 蒸気 サヨナラ (Seimei Zari Tatta Jouki, Sayonara..." - "life is but a vapor, goodbye..."
Any disturbance while performing this nullifies its effect further. Someone of ample level could definitely combat it, but their condition thereafter would be questionable.
VIZARD MASK
Spoiler:
Sasayaki Enshi's Vizard Mask exposes the blackness of my soul yet it completely harnesses Sasayaki's vapors. All of Enshi's techniques and abilities are amplified by being augmented by hollowfication. Both Cero and Bala techniques have been added, in addition to my hollow's own creative interpretation of Sasayaki's martial style.
Do you think the Vizards will support Ichigo in this battle and furthermore train him more in the future?

1.)来る、端のささやき (Kuru, hana no sasayaki - It comes, whisper of the edge.)
2.)話せ、端ささやき (Hanase, Hana Sasayaki - Speak, Edge Whisper)
Spoiler:
This command spells the end as Hana Sasayaki actually whispers audibly and can be literally heard on the battlefield saying: "総全滅" (Kaijin - Total Annihilation). This causes all vapors to lift the opponent's body, binding them near motionless as they seem to be engulfed in dark violet (almost black) vaporous fire. While all Hana Sasayaki's vapors are gathered in one place, the opponent struggles not to be stiffled by Hana Sasayaki's absorbance of their reiatsu. This technique enables me to perform Kaijin - Total Annihilation, a 177 count mid-air hit & hold combo that cuts, punches, kicks, and throws my signature "" shuriken. (I know what you're thinking, but remember, Hana Sasayaki is an all around zanpakutō having both power & kidou. Notwithstanding, it is also a vapor as well; capable of being suspended in mid-air.) (These characteristics give me the gift of airborne combat before Bankai is even initiated). This move uninterrupted spans about 15 seconds. Each calculated move is part of a disciplined equation in attempt to disrupt and disorient the opponent's ki channels (reiastu flow), all the while releasing my own which causes violet lightning to spit the sky during the length of the attack. (this pic of the sky during Kaijin - Total Annihilation shows the potential when executed in bankai)
The ending blow is a most powerful roundhouse kick to the earth that I can substitute whispering (usually taunting in the opponents ear...) BANKAI.
3.)ばんじんで闇が動く、 暗錯覚(Banjin de yami ga ugoku, Kuragari Sakkaku)
(Darkness moves on the face of the deep, Dark Hallucination)
Spoiler:
This attack actually is a precursor for Bankai and is optimal when followed by Hana Sasayaki's final release. It causes the opponent to enter 暗錯覚 - Kuragari Sakkaku (Darkness Hallucination), a mental illusion which enables me to attack their mind's will... literally.
This delusional monochrome dimension is a dark dessert without a moon. Yet, it is not without light.... this "perceived" light is actually a deception within itself... the ground is glowing and has the same characteristics as the black Sekkiseki stone feverishly zapping reiatsu with every step. By brute force mentally, it allows me to create a state of extreme mental confusion; and is completely invisible and undetected by any onlooker outside of the battle. Truly to the beholder, the fight would seem to progress without consequence to this technique, save the possible mental detachment the opponent may have during its execution. An unaccustomed or unaware opponent would find this quite perplexing and confounding to mid-combat progression. Stemming from mental management of reiatsu control; any injuries accepted as real during the struggle blacking out under the spell of Edge Whisper's Kuragari Sakkaku, result in actual physical wounds in reality... and you must defend yourself appropriately.
BANKAI 致命的なささやく呼吸 - Sasayaki Enshi
(Suffocating Whisper of Death)
Spoiler:
I still retain my Rokurumaken shuriken and all techniques, intensified in bankai as afore mentioned, but with added characteristics: Reiatsu roars up a crushing 8x as I release a sizable amount of my spirit's pressure and the entire surrounding area (1/4 mile radius) is blacked out into total darkness. The only light is the vapor from Sasayaki Enshi. Which once appeared black, now in darkness shows as violet smoke, painting a huge silhouette of his face.
Behold the FINAL LEVEL, 致命的なささやく呼吸(Sasayaki Enshi - Suffocating Whisper of Death.) Bankai pushes the envelope as my form smokes as well. Through Sasayaki Enshi's abilities I am now able to materialize into vapor mid-fight at any given time I choose. This is usually during shadow step, and may be implemented as an evasive maneuver if attacks are unavoidable and seen prior to contact. (logically speaking, the condition is that there is a way of escape, otherwise, vaporization is useless)
牽引 アウト 其の 残滓 之 生命
(Kenin Auto Sono Zanshi no Seimei - Draw out the dregs of life...)
Spoiler:
Now hooded, I shroud my face in shadow. Chanting in the lowest whisper, I condense Hana Sasayaki's vapor through hand moves from the obscure ninjutsu arts:
"無言 中 其の 影, 其の 声 わ 敵わない 御座る 拝聞 牽引 アウト 其の 残滓 之 生命"
("Mugon Naka Sono Kage, Sono Koe wa Kanawanai Gozaru Haibun...
Kenin Auto Sono Zanshi no Seimei")
("Silence in the shadows, The voice that cannot be heard...
draw out the dregs of life.")
I manipulate the vapors to enter the oxygen pathways of my opponent's body. (the ears, mouth, nose, & eyes). Although for this attack it doesn't cut, Hana Sasayaki has always drained reiatsu and breath. It still does now, depleting the life force of the opponent. Causing the respiratory tract to begin to fail, the heart struggles not succumb to arrest. The lungs begin to rupture at worst to the point of hemorrhage. Slowly, as life departs the opponent, the last sense that leaves is ability to hear. At which Sasayaki Enshi reverberates from within, whispering departure saying: 生命 ざり たった 蒸気 サヨナラ (Seimei Zari Tatta Jouki, Sayonara..." - "life is but a vapor, goodbye..."
Any disturbance while performing this nullifies its effect further. Someone of ample level could definitely combat it, but their condition thereafter would be questionable.
VIZARD MASK
Spoiler:
Sasayaki Enshi's Vizard Mask exposes the blackness of my soul yet it completely harnesses Sasayaki's vapors. All of Enshi's techniques and abilities are amplified by being augmented by hollowfication. Both Cero and Bala techniques have been added, in addition to my hollow's own creative interpretation of Sasayaki's martial style.
