Rukia's Bankai [REWORK]

- Zanpakutō name: Sode no Shirayuki Kai

- Bankai Description: Rukia's Bankai is quite an interesting one, not only being one of the most beautiful Zanpakutō in all known existence, but unique ice Zanpakutō's. Upon activation of Rukia's bankai, she twists her Zanpakutō in between both of her hands,holding them together, left hand pointing her finger to her right on the side facing her; the right hand's fingers facing to the left, in front of the hilt facing away from her. Twisting it with her hands, the sword will drop out of her hands and fall into the ground, in a similar fashion as to what it does with Byakuya's bankai. By doing so, the sword will spin at tremendous speeds, not losing any of it's velocity as it slips into the ground momentarily. Upon slipping into the ground, ice instantly begins to shatter the surroundings, in an arc of one kilometre around where she originally dropped the sword. Soon after doing this, the sword will emerge from the ground yet again, covered in a pure-ice element, a glimpse of white shining off of it instead of the trade-mark blue of ice. As it raises up, it'll quickly come back to her hand and upon grasping it her arms becoming infused with a white-ice appearance, similar to the colour of her shikai and that of the bankai sword.

Not only her arms, but her entire skin now seems to continue glistening even more white with a purple tinge added to it, her very body being covered in a thin layer of her beautiful white ice, still not obscuring any vision on her; just simply radiating more white it would seem. Finally, her bankai has had a minor rework on her appearance; not changing her outfit or anything, but simply the way it's presented. When the bankai is activated, her shihakusho torn from the waist up and curled down upon the lower half of her shihakusho. Now, the top of her body appears to cover her bust and right shoulder in bandages, her bust having wrapped up around her body, whilst a single strap over the top of right shoulder; then going down and wrapping around her upper arm. Finally, around her left wrist, there appears to be a single bandage wrapped around it, hanging off loosely while the lower half of her Shihakusho remains the same as every other state.

- Bankai Abilities:
Note: All shikai abilities remain

Upon activation... Upon the activation of her bankai, above it is written that ice shoots out over a one kilometre area. When this happens, her bankai ice activation become large enough to pierce through buildings, impale people from below and even injure higher powered people if they aren't careful. The ice shards that come up from the floor of ice below are shown to be at least a fifty metres in height, to a maximum height of a kilometre into the air. Despite being the most beautiful Zanpakutō in existence, this ability has shown to be quite destructive. Whilst it can destroy massive areas, it is also capable of freezing entire towns or areas in nothing but shards of ice; similar of a fashion to what it does with her Shikai's Hakuren, sealing even is an entire block of ice and even killing them within it, sometimes. This alone is capable of massive destruction, let alone the rest of her bankai abilities. Not only is the burst of ice capable in the activation, once the sword raises out of the ground and plants back into her palm, a shock wave of pure pressure shoots out and shatter the ice at her will. Meaning, once it falls into her hands, she is capable of either shooting out the massive shards of ice from the ground and shattering them with pressure, or leaving the area engulfed in a landscape of ice shards and ice in general.

Ika no Mai, Aisutatchi (以下アイスタッチ, Following Dance, Ice Touch)
This particular bankai ability is the basic of all of her abilities. It acts as a passive ability for anything she in her bankai state. Basically, her the sword she has that is coated in a pure white ice after raising from the ground, anything that the blade or hilt comes into contact with is capable of instantly freezing anything it touches. Meaning, if this blade managed to touch a person arms, it could likely freeze it in a block of ice or slow the blood flow to their arm and cause much more difficulty in the usage of that particular arm. If she even slightly touches the opponent with this Zanpakutō, it can likely freeze over that particular area and have the effects it has. This doesn't just work on enemies though, it can work on the environment as well as anything she touches; even abilities compromised of energy. From here, Rukia is capable of touching even a cero, not only managing to freeze it mid air upon touching her sword, but it could definitely cause effects such as containment. How does this work? Well, if one freezes a cero or another Kidō mid air, to use it back against the opponent would be a smart move. By containing the cero within a combined area of ice, Rukia is then able to, when needed, melt the ice around the cero and return the same fire to the enemy. Although, this is all assuming she can freeze the reishi ability without any hassle, such as enemies shattering it first or another person melting it. Never the less, it can be used as a storage of arsenals around the battlefield.

This isn't the end of the ice touch ability though, Rukia, without her sword, can touch someone with her hands and have a similar effect to that of her sword. Like the sword, she can activate this at any given moment or not at all. Although the touch from her hands or body are less powerful in freezing an opponent, it has a different effect. The touch from her sword can instantly freeze regardless of most temperatures, but from her hand it tends to take a longer time. By holding part of her body on the object/enemy, she can create frost/ice coverage appear over a certain area. By focusing her reiatsu into this area, she can then cause the frozen area to constrict around the desired area, meaning that this could cause such things as blood-circulation cut off, stopping the flow of blood from open wounds, or even constrict really tight and then shatter at will. What would the shattering at will do? When constricted tight around a person body, the shattering would be able to turn the ice-shards inwards and attempt to impale them. By impaling them through the ice shards, it would have an effect of being stabbed my multiple swords at once, some being shallow and other possible of becoming rather deep stabs. This isn't only spread to stabbing though, it can act as slicing as it draws across their body.

Kōdona no Mai, Kōri no keimusho(以下アイスタッチ, Advanced Dance, Ice
Prison)
The advanced dance; ice prison is a much more... intense ability and can be misleading in name when considering all aspects of this ability. In a similar fashion to Toshiro Hitsugaya's ice Zanpakutō, Rukia is capable of sealing off a person within a prison of ice. By putting her blade diagonally across in front of her body, Rukia can quickly spread out a thicker and thicker layer of ice around the blade. By changing the water in the air/reishi and the surroundings, she can freeze them and create massive pillars of ice that surround the opponent from all angles. although as the pillars are vertically upright for the moment, they all quickly turn horizontal, and the tips of the pointing towards the desired target. While each pillar appears to be a hundred metres tall each and eight of them total, when they point in and aim at the opponent, their aim is to collide themselves together to cover the desired target within an entire area of ice; drowning out their existence to be in a shell of ice; remaining until Rukia willed them to come out. Although a higher tiered person could break out of it easily enough. Finally, this isn't the only part of this ability. The Kodona no Mai, Kori no keimusho is capable of much more. Once the person is trapped inside this prison of pure ice, Rukia has been shown to be able to, at will, send massive slashes and cracks appear to be present in the prison of ice. What does this do? Each cracks and slash represents the ice prison being hit with a over-sized sword and slashed write at the opponent. So in a similar fashion to a Hadō #90 kuroshitsuji, it would be able to cut them from all angles.

Finally, this ability doesn't only have the idea of a prison. By creating a single pillar to herself, Rukia is capable of breaking of large chunks of said ice and even be able to use it as her own weapon. As soon as the shards of ice are broken off, she can shape them into almost any type of weapon she wanted; meaning she could create a scythe, a sword, a pair of nun-chucks, anything of ice. As they are made of ice, they are no where near as sturdy as the typical Zanpakutō she wields, but it is in no way weak. By grasping the blade, the moment these weapons makes contact with an enemy, they are capable of sprouting blocks of ice in a similar fashion to her normal Zanpakutō passive ability. Although, it isn't quite the same. As it sprouts blocks of ice on contact, it doesn't stick to them, rather it allows a much more desired, powerful effect. Just making contact, the ice will form and add an extra 'punch' to the attack. So, if she is striking with a ice sword, as soon as it touches the skin ice will shoot out and attempt to slash even deeper than the typical blade before falling to the ground, not attached to the opponent. If a club/nun-chuck like weapon the relies on power? A block of ice will form upon contact and even add that extra punch, too.

Fainaru no Mai, Utsukushi-sa no inshō-tekina kōri no hakai(以下アイスタッチ, Final Dance, Beauty Striking Ice Destruction)
The is the final ability for Rukia in terms of bankai. This allows Rukia to completely destroy anything it touches, even people if made a direct hit. Grasping her sword by the hilt and pointing it up into the sky, the blade will continuously begin to grow up into the sky, the long shard being made of ice drawn from the surroundings. Not only this, but as it grows, it will glow extremely white. Dark clouds begin to draw over the area, as the end of her blade vanishes into the sky. Letting go of her blade, the Zanpakutō will float in middle of the air as if she had never let go of it. Taking a single step back; Rukia says the words: "Keizoku wa chikara nari" (literally meaning continuation is also power and strength) which then allows this ability to activate. After saying this, Rukia says the name of the ability and grasps the sword once again. Once her hand touches the sword; the dark clouds in the sky split open, the ground beneath the feet over a twenty kilometer area being soaked in nothing but ice. Finally, by pulling the sword down and out of the ice-shards that surround it, Rukia has activate her final ability.

As soon as it's pulled put of it's ice casket, the soaked icey ground will explode upwards in a frenzy of nothing but pure, freezing cold ice. Anyone caught up in this would be instantly frozen, this ability even being big enough to cover an entire city in the ice of a a super-sized Tsukishiro. This power launches a twenty kilometre version wide into the sky, and then even going higher than the eyes can see into the atmosphere. Although this acts differently that Tsukishiro. Instead of simply freezing them, making the opponent capable of breaking out (see: Grimmjow frozen by Hakuren) it freezes them inside of it; but even if they manage to break out of the massive ice prison of Tsukishiro; their bodies would be torn open from the pure rough, destructive power of the said abilities. People could very easily have limbs torn off, mortal wounds ripped into their bodies. Whilst trapped within the ice, she is also capable of doing a move similar to the slicing earlier. This means, that whilst trapped, she can use virutal cracks and slashes into the ice; all acting as if they're slicing through the opponent with invisible sword into the ice. A powerful ability indeed. This ability would strain Rukia to no end, putting her into the most fatigued state she can experience, not saying she can't fight on, but to continue fighting on would be difficult after said move had been completed.
