Will said it was cool for me to resubmit. If not, with the latest awards I achieved I should have enough kan to buy a resub, so let me know.
Shikai: 紫電 – Shiden - "Swordflash"
Release: “Kire, Shiden”
The only noticeable trait of Shiden’s shikai is that its blade seems permanently incandescent. No other form change or special characteristic is displayed by the zanpakutou after release.
Ability: 空翔斬 - Kuushouzan - "Empty Soar Slash"
By paying a fixed cost of 500 reiatsu per slash, Tetsuo is able to phase the slashing motion of his blade through space to a maximum range of 50 feet and a minimum range of 10 feet. Essentially, this means that Tetsuo can cut his targets without moving, but by simply cutting the space before him and phasing the cut unto the enemy’s position. The transfer occurs instantaneously. These slashes can be blocked normally, and they do not carry any special characteristics whatsoever. Speed, damage and all other traits are directly related to Tetsuo’s Zanjutsu.
Attack: 月影昇舞 - Getsuei Shoubu - "Moon Shadow Rising Dance"
By paying 5% of his Reiatsu, Tetsuo uses shunpo to move towards any location. As he exits the motion, a myriad of invisible sword cuts ravage the expanse of the path he travelled, razing all that still stands on it. The distance of the used shunpo must be equal or less than ten meters; otherwise the attack cannot be used.
Bankai: 紫電一千 - Shiden Issen - "One Thousand Sword Flashes”
Tetsuo’s Bankai capitalizes on the shinigami’s most fatal asset – his ability with a sword. After release, an area relative to a sphere of fifty meters in diameter centered on Tetsuo is turned into a realm where Tetsuo’s ability to cut is heightened to astonishing degrees. All of the Bankai abilities have their maximum reach capped by the sphere’s limits.
Ability: 次元斬 - Jigenzan - "Dimension Slash"
Jigenzan allows Tetsuo to cut space without a single motion of his sword, but merely by willing it to happen. The form of such cuts is basically the same as if a real katana executed the motion, save for their size: each one is three meters in length and fifty centimeters in width. Tetsuo can, and most surely will, use Jigenzan more than once at a time, although he is limited to six uses per turn and three simultaneously. Tetsuo can also alter their size by adding two or more together, with the expansion being proportional to the number of cuts added up; this leads to a decrease on the number of possible uses equally proportional to how many were merged. Speed and damage of the slashes are all relative to Tetsuo’s Zanjutsu.
Attack 1: 蒼破球 – Souhakyuu – “Pale Destruction Sphere”
By paying 5% of his reiatsu, Tetsuo can create a lucid sphere of approximately one meter in diameter within the reach of his Bankai. The orb will remain motionless and harmless unless one of two things happens. If an enemy (or any of its body parts) enters the sphere at any moment, the sphere’s insides will be ravaged by a myriad of sword cuts, completely obliterating what was within along with the sphere itself. Alternatively, Tetsuo can command the same thing to happen whenever he so wishes in order to distract, or catch and enemy off-guard before it enters the globe’s range. No more than three spheres can be present in the field at the same time.
Attack 2: 護法蓮 – Gouhouren – “Protection Method Lotus”
By altering the function of Jigenzan, Tetsuo can turn it into a defensive ability. By infusing each cut with 2% of his reiatsu, Tetsuo can project the slashes in the way of incoming attacks (physical or spiritual) and halt, delay or completely nullify said attacks. More than one Jigenzan can be used for this, although it means that fewer will be available for offensive uses.
Attack 3: 真神煉獄刹 - Majin Rengokusatsu - "True God Purgatory Temple"
By spending 20% of his reiatsu, Tetsuo can give form and shape to all six cuts of Jigenzan as blades of pure reiatsu. Appearance wise, each blade resembles a nodachi with the blade’s length and width exactly the same as a Jigenzan slash. These blades hover around him, granting the shinigami the ability to attack with them as he so desires, without the usual restraints of Jigenzan. Tetsuo has no need to physically wield them, instead being able to control them via thought. The number of attacks that can be made with the blades at his immediate disposal is entirely up to Tetsuo’s creativity, and truly are the reason for his Bankai’s name. The obvious side-effect is that during the attack's duration, both Jigenzan and Gouhouren are unusable.
