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.

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.
Applying Mr. Ominous "pimp master" G.
Meet all the requirements and do quite a fine Tango too.

Jakarru Kami no kashira (Head of the Jackal God)
Spoiler:
Sealed state:
Spoiler:
Jakarru Kami no Kashira is a 33" long Katana with a 28" blade and 5" hilt. The blade is black and curved more than usual, causing it to resemble a large sickle or hook on a shepherds crook. The Guard is a vibrant gold coloured octagon with Ankh's etched in to both sides at half centimetre intervals. The hilt of the katana is black to match the blade but wrapped neatly in a white, bandage like, material and topped in a gold coloured pommel cover.On the butt of the pommel cover is a small carving of a Jackals head.
Inner World:
Spoiler:
The inner world is a desolate landscape of what seems to be white sand and rock. On closer inspection however the sand is revealed to be natron, a salt-like substance used to preserve mummies, and the rocks are the lower half of unused Canopic Jars made of calcite. A vicious wind blows through the landscape at all times, constantly changing the terrain and weighing the visitor down with a sense of dread caused by the thought that they may not escape. There is only one way in and out of this world and that is a black door, edged in a gold light, that is constantly changing position. Jakarru Kami no Kashira refers to the door as "The Souls Entrance" and only he is able to lead you to the door and to freedom.
Spirit:
Spoiler:
The spirit of Jakarru Kami no Kashira is a small black jackal with a bandage around the neck, tied in to a bow. He is extremely silent and only speaks when he feels it is necessary for him to do so. His stare is somewhat unnerving, as if he is constantly weighing you up and deciding where to place you on his list. In stark contrast to his surroundings he is active all day, though more so at dawn and dusk, constantly gathering Natron and weighing it on his front paws. His calm demeanour and wise words earn him great respect and he will return that respect if he deems you worthy enough. The greatest form of respect he shows is allowing you to leave the inner world by guiding you to the door.
Shikai Release Command: Anatatachi wa hakaru, Jakarru Kami no Kashira (Weigh them, Head of the Jackal God.)
Appearance:
Spoiler:
Jakarru Kami no Kashira changes in to a spiked black wooden flail. It is made from two pieces of wood that are attached by a white 3" chain, like an overly large nunchuk, and are extremely durable. The handle (For lack of a better word) is 1.5m long and 1.5" in diameter. The spiked piece of wood is 1m long and 1.5" in diameter. It is covered in gold coloured metal spikes that are spaced half an inch either side and run down to the end of the wood. The tip of the spiked piece is curved upwards slightly to form a crude tearing or grappling hook.
Abilities:
Spoiler:
In Shikai, Jakarru Kami no Kashira gains the ability to increase or decrease the power of its attacks by altering the weight of the spiked pole on the flail. The heavier the spiked pole becomes, the more damage is caused but it becomes harder to wield. The maximum the wielder can carry effectively is 135lbs (roughly 61kg) though it can go higher. The only time the maximum weight would be used is if the opponent was significantly larger than the wielder.
Zenrei no Kachi (Worth of one's whole soul)
This ability allows Jakarru Kami no Kashira to peer in to the opponents soul and weigh it against the feather of truth. If the soul is lighter than the feather by a great deal then any damage caused by Jakarru Kami no Kashira will be miniscule, even if the wound would normally kill. The heavier the soul the greater the damage and if the soul is heavier than the feather by a great margin even the smallest cut can be turned in to a life threatening injury.
When this ability is used the wielder can see the soul being weighed by Jakkaru Kami no Kashira as a ghostly image in front of the opponent and can be seen by both opponent and wielder. It depicts Jakarru Kami no Kashira with a set of scales placed in front of him. On the right hand scale is the feather of truth and on the left hand scale is a blue light in the shape of a heart, representing the opponents soul. Once the soul is measured Jakarru Kami no Kashira returns to the inner world with the scales and feather of truth. In shikai the complete form of the opponent is needed to be seen, even if only for a second, in order for the soul to be weighed.
Bankai: Jakarru Kami no Genri (Fundamental truth of the Jackal God)
Activation:
Spoiler:
The wielder holds the flail horizontally across the chest and calls Bankai. There is then a flash of gold light and the Bankai is revealed.
Appearance:
Spoiler:
The flail becomes a two headed axe on a gold coloured shaft, approx. 1.8m in length and 1.5" in diameter. The axes are positioned on each end, like the heads of a shovel, and crescent shaped. They're both a gold colour to match the shaft and engraved with a black Jackal head on each flat side. Approx. 14" in diametre they are razor sharp and extremely light, allowing for a faster swing or slash.
The wielders head becomes encased in a black metal mask in the shape of a Jackal head. They are covered from the base of the neck, all the way to the top of the head and ears and a snout protrude several inches in their correct places. The mask itself is covered in a fine gold filligree of swirls and ankhs whilst the eye sockets seem to glow a blazing white. Although appearing to be heavy it allows for fluent movement and all around vision, leaving no blind spots except natural ones.
Spoiler:
The wielders clothing changes to a metallic gold skirt and halter top that exposes the midriff. The skirt itself is calf length and splits up the front to allow movement, with a simple black cloth hanging to keep everything covered. On the top of the skirt is a chain belt with charms made up of ankhs that matches an anklet on the wielders right ankle. The top is tied at the neck and back tightly to keep it secure and moveable and the wielder is left barefoot. On the wielders upper left arm is a simple gold armlet in the shape of a jackal.
Spoiler:
Abilities:
Spoiler:
The wielder gains a significant speed and strength boost, allowing them to move with the speed and agility of a Jackal and lift twice as much as before. The legs of the user are also inbued with strength allowing for kicks powerful enough to break rock and the ability to jump to extreme heights. (In testing the highest the user has ever jumped is just over 9m.) The abilities from Shikai are also boosted, raising the weight limit of the weapon to 270lbs (122kg) and allowing both ends of the axe to change weight. Zenrei no Kachi now needs only a split second glimps of any part of the opponents body in order to weigh the soul and the users reiatsu rises by approx. 70%.
Hantei no Omori (Weight of Judgement)
Spoiler:
This ability brings forth the sense of dread that is present in the inner world of Jakarru Kami no Kashira. It presses down on the opponent and makes them nervous and jittery, instilling a sense of paranoia that can potentially disable the opponent. In the most extreme cases it can cause a state of live mummification, dry-freezing the opponent on the spot completely.
Fighting Style:
Spoiler:
During the sealed state of Jakkaru Kami no Kashira the wielder uses a form of Ninjutsu that focuses on the use of Kama and Kusarigama. The aim is to trap and block the opponents weapons, disarming them or disabling them as quickly as possible. The sickled shape of the blade is perfect for this style and often catches opponents off guard as they expect the vicious looking blade to slash and rip. However due to the curve of the blade it is very difficult to slash and easier to trap weapons and limbs whilst still causing damage. Decapitation however is quite suited to the blade.
During Shikai the user switches to a mix of Bojutsu, the Okinawan style centred on the use of a six foot staff, and Tahtib, an Ancient Egyptian style that is focused on head shots and distraction, often being flamboyant and graceful. The spiked flail that completes the staff is the perfect distraction method, the opponent often too busy focusing on what they consider to be the dangerous end and forgetting about the range of the handle itself. This allows the wielder to fully utilise both parts of the weapon for both attack and defense.
During Bankai the user once again switches styles. Whilst keeping the use of Tahtib they forgo the Okinawan Bojutsu and replace it with the Northern Chinese Staff. This allows the user to focus more on cutting and swinging, whilst at the same time defending and aiming for the vital areas such as the head, rib cage, stomach and back in order to cause the most damage. The users increased speed, strength and agility also helps with this style as they can still attack from unusual positions, never wasting a movement, being quick on defense and increasing the power of their strikes.
During all three states the user rarely uses Kido and if it is used it is more of a distraction method or lure in order to set a trap. Any hand to hand that is used is centred on the Wushu style, using the wielders flexibility and initiative to the greatest advantage they can.

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.
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.

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.
