Prizes: 20 million yen & Skill upgrades.
Upgrade: Speed to Master mental deduction to master.
Reason: Because both pages entry and exit speeds have been clocked at over mach seven, which would be master speeds. As well though page showed if not above par battle deduction here when it came to dealing with the opponent; as he instead of using his fists to force the foe back, used his head and deduced a secondary battle strategy which would get things wrapped up much quicker. This would have quite literally been using his own special abilities, quickly reassembling the city back to its original components in a very brief amount of time, in the air floating above, rendering the ground he and his foe was standing on to nothing but dirt, then with en route the city protected by a fleet of k-world hell bombers and men, with Alpha of the monsuta on board, planned ahead enough to send it towards a commander he trusts mecha neo, so that the city would be finally secured by its original owners. Then made a swift exit en route to his next location.

Character Notes: They are done technically since the city isn't there, and thus would be claimed.

Prizes: EXP Boost
Upgrade: Master to GM Willpower + Psuedo Shikai/Bankai & Increased Stamina
Reason: Psuedo Shikai/Bankai: What is this ability? Well, the bases of it is rather simple. Being that the ascended states of Shadin's releases can be quite taxing on him due to how much strain and energy they zap from him, during the Australian War he had devised a means to temporarily compensate for this. At the cost of not being able to utilize any of his abilities, powers or skills that are associated with his Zanpukto when in it's more potent forms, Shadin is able to summon the energy produced with these transformations at a profound rate of speed. This was shown by the fact he was able to swiftly interchange between Shikai and Bankai levels rapidly within a short duration of time when he created the Australian Barrier throughout the continent, shot off EXTREMELY long-range blast from the Mesosphere at opponents on Earth and the fact he still could continue this effort to go as far as producing an attack capable of engulfing the planet while still having reserves and stamina left over to make a pocket dimension to seal the Magnum of Existence and said attack from his end into to prevent the destruction equivalent to obliterating two and half planets.

The Primary drawback to this seems to be that constant shifting of these states seems to take it's toll on Shadin due to how unnatural this transference is. Not to mention extensive use of it, like the extent of his powers that were utilized during the war, seems to gradually leave it's mark on his body. Therefore, while it's generally better tailored for one or two short uses, when exerting himself to these large-scale feats it may potentially be better for him to transform fully to better endure these strains on him; where smaller scale-attacks are theoretically much better for this Pseudo Shikai and Bankai release because it wouldn't take as much physical endurance, stamina and durability to bare the brunt of their weight on his body. Thus, it's a technique that Shadin must use with great caution and evaluation at times.

Master To Grand Master & Tremendous Stamina: One of the first reasons that Shadin appears to have a mastered version of will is stemmed from the fact that the very bases of some of his abilities that stem from the mind are generated from his desire. Therefore, from that bases off the bat, there are documented cases where this has materialized itself into the world. Constantly using Imaginary Computation to compound his ambitions into reality; bridging the gap between his goals and making the connection into existence. In fact, throughout the Australian Conflict, this has been demonstrated time and time again. During the clash against Zane Feiner, Demonica Nightfang and Incarnate; there was a great sense of change within Shadin's personal values as he started to find his resolve, become awakened to his goals in this world and seemed to have the brunt of this mental force even reach a Demon Lord and instilled a sense of calmness within her after having the storm of Shadin's will rain down upon her.

Other examples include the fact that when presented with a challenge in this war, it would constantly enrage Shadin to thrust even harder than before and push himself further. Such as the fact when he first entered the war and was initially blocked from entering the continent due to the Tier 7 Barrier that was strong enough to even force Shadin back for a short duration of time. Being met with such a wall, the burning determination ignited within The Beast of Karakura unlocked one of the first of many uses of his Psuedo Shikai state in order to obliterate the barrier and storm the war.

Another illustration that was displayed during the war was the situation that dealt with the production of The Australian Barrier. Being that this was a product of Shadin's mind, it showed the great extent in which he was willing to go to make his resolution affect the world around him. There was a great deal of strain being inflicted on the man's mind, but he still had the nerve to keep pushing himself as he even attempted to subdue the sense of doubt within Kaito Yuudeshi's mind when they met on the Yuudeshi Space Station near the Mesosphere. Going as far to enseal parts of his energy and will into the man's body in order to help develop, strengthen and harden his descendants Yuudeshi Drive to better guide him down the path of finding what he yearns for out of this life.

More impressively, he even managed to destroy the clutch the Yuudeshi Drive was having on his mentality. That is to say, with the Yuudeshi Drive, it had been steadily feeding upon the more sinister notions held within his heart. So through this new found resolve, he managed to subdue and suppress that within him to the point where he started to feel like a new man. And to note, for the past few years on PH, Shadin has been increasingly turning more violent, blood thirsty and so forth.

Furthermore, even through all of this, there was still the looming threat of dealing with Claire Clixx's Magum of Existence which posted an interstellar crisis due to it's potential for planetary destruction. So despite fighting against two Demon Lords, one of the strongest pure human's in existence, droves of thousands of Monsuta, Shadow Fall & Kokuryuteshi soldiers, battling against his own internal demons that plagued him from the past, attempting to cope with the massive strain this war was placing on the Yuudeshi Network from the vast amount of energy being utilized to sustain these efforts, the international conflict which he needed to deal with it and still trying to save his family from the despair of this war; he still summoned the discipline to stand on his feet and fight against this catastrophic threat without any second thoughts.

So leaping into the jaws of danger, Shadin harnessed the utilization of his Pseudo-Transformation to push himself all the way into a false-Bankai state; but managed to temporarily shift into a Semi-Angelic Awakening because he was harnessing the extent of the Yuudeshi Network due to his unrestrained usage of it's power. However, this wasn't the PRIMARY factor in that. This divine transcendence within him came about due to his intentions of trying to atone the sins he's committed in the past, the resolution to rid the dominant control of despair throughout the globe, the resolve to endure this pathway to hell he's set himself on and to push himself to the utmost of his limits to stop this extinction-level attack. It pushed Imaginary Computation to the point of even making Shadin's entire essence temporarily an undetectable presence.

Even with all The Prowess of The Yuudeshi Network, by it's definition from all the collected data within it's information banks, Shadin had configured himself into an unclassifiable being as that was no record of such a force within the racial intel that was stored in it's memory. Therefore, it was theorized that he managed to instill the right values within himself to unlock a Holy Awakening and the plans of the Yuudeshi Network pushing him to the point of Angelhood were realized; even if it was only for but a short duration in time. For in this moment, the man's will was so strong that he managed to utterly remove the compounds within Claire's attack that could destroy existence itself and managed to create his own sub-dimension to seal both his attack and Claire's within a contained zone to be destroyed without causing a danger to any of the planets within the Solar System.

Therefore, with all of that said above, it's safe to assume that the willpower within Shadin has indeed become more profound in strength, has gone above and beyond it's levels prior to the war and has enhanced The Beast's body, mind and powers throughout the extent of this war.

Character Notes: N/A

Holy shit... x.x

That's a lot of power, but as a certain Uncle would of said with Great power comes with GREAT responsibility.

Also I don't know if I need a second for the Grand Master Upgrades, but if I do, 1/2 for both, Shadin has shown the capabilities in my opinion throughout the event to prove him more than capable for this upgrades.

TL;DR: I'm approving the upgrades, they seem kosher to me, and the logic makes sense too.

Prizes: Whatever ones that he's applicable for.
Upgrade: Soul State 1, and Probably Tier upgrade. with appropriate upgrades
Reason: Kaito, and Shadin had talks about clearing his mind, and activating his Yuudeshi Drive, which in turn activated his Soul State 1. Also, once Shadin Unlocked his inner world so to speak, he awakened something deep inside of him that came from his predecessors to help him out.
Character Notes: Also these are the stuff he gained from the unlock in terms of abilities.

Electric/Electromagnetic Manipulation: Being a descendant of Shadin Yuudeshi, Kaito has inherited the use of electricity, along with creating it naturally. His is unique in application, because rather than using it as an all general thing, he concentrates his ability by bending the electromagnetic fields. This allows Kaito to use the electricity more so then just a regular release; in fact, it compounds onto his use of vectors. Generally, this allows him to manipulate vectors of electromagnetism, which can generally counter general electric users as long as he has the energy to invest into it. He can create, within the electromagnetic field, pulses and energy blasts, thus being able to propel them faster and longer. To do so, he uses a Gauss cannon like design, which generally allows him to speed up projectiles by having natural metals in them or being an artificial metals added to them. This is one method of using his abilities; another is that he can bend the electromagnetic fields in a way that can enhance his cyber world vectors. Relatively said, it makes those vectors stronger and easier to use. This way of using it is extremely draining because the manipulation of the cyber world vectors rely heavily on his mental strength and control, and thus maintaining an ulterior source such as the electricity may require more then he is typically used to handling. It's not that Kaito lacks control; it's just inherently it's more than his mind is used to, due to both maintain a mental straining ability and consciously controlling an energy based one. It helps him train in some ways, due to the strains that it puts his mind and body through.

Zero-Point Energy: The basis of his skilled control is the manipulation and control of Zero Point energy, which is the smallest form of Energy that can be noticed and manipulated. This energy is in everything and everyone and can be manipulated as long as it's not being used by another user of Zero-Point Energy. The energy that can be created is astronomical and by nature is dangerous, but even then the fact that he can use this type of energy is a tome to his skills as a magic user. Since he can manipulate the energy as he sees fit it helps him to have a deep reserve, because he's a magic user first before he's physical, and that changes the appearance of him. He can use that energy like a vacuum and release it in many ways in his attacks, and even to help him balance out his energy levels so he's not unstable. This ability comes from the effect of the AIM fields and being able to seeing them, and then comprehend the energy around him so he can use it effectively. This energy is hard normally to use for him, and so he must often focus to use it, but once he’s focused he can use it very well, but it takes at least 2 turns before he can use it once he activates the AIM fields to draw upon that energy.

Soul State Evolution

- Soul State Evolution Stage 1 Appearance:


- Soul State Evolution Stage 1 Abilities:
Soul of the Samurai: Kaito dons a unique kind of Armor and subsequently it modifies while he’s in this state his Katana, the fact he’s wearing armor and a unique accessory that only happens in this form. The soul of the Samurai is his materialization of his feelings of wanting to protect the people he loves and cares for. The honor of the samurai, the way of the samurai, is all coded in a sense within him, but this is the physical manifestation of that Yuudeshi drive built within him. The love of his friends and family represents his armor, as it’s the aspect of will that keeps him striving to become stronger and more caring for them. The Katana is his honor and the willingness to fight for his friends and loved ones. This provides him with a strong sharp blade to help him cut through his enemies, and people that would do harm to his family. The Final item is the accessory of the Yasaka no Metagama. Each Jewel is a representation of a moment in time where he grew, and the more growth he has, the more each jewel shines, showing progressions that go beyond just physical and mental capabilities denoting the need for something spiritual. The Soul of the Samurai is the core of this form, and is based on how strong his will is, and if he’s willing to don the entire set. Once he does however he’s locked into the form until he either loses the will to keep it up, can’t keep pouring energy into it, or finally he ascends into his next evolution.

Note: The Armor, Weapon, and Accessory drains on his will slowly over time gradually making it weaker, abilities on the other hand drain his stamina.

Eight Dragons: The Armor that Kaito dons in this form is called the Eight Dragons of Heaven and Earth, but simplified down into Eight Dragons. The most defining feature is the contrast between the vibrant red of the armor on the limbs and the dark black scaly looking breastplate that covers his torso which look like scales of a dragon. The breastplate is black in color with multiple shades of blues, purples and whites to give the illusion of many scales on the plate at once. The breastplate is the strongest point of his armor where he has the most defensive capabilities since it covers his vitals in battle. The Red armor is nothing to sneeze at either, since it’s very resilient against most types of attacks. If a person is strong enough to break through the armor either physically or magically it can be broken, but it takes a lot of damage the armor due to it being based on his will of wanting to protect those that he loves and cares for. The helm isn’t always on, but when necessary it will appear to protect his head in the case that attacks would go for his head. The armor is considered to be very unique and developmentally based on him, and nothing else. As he gets stronger so will the armor in its defensive capabilities. Finally, the most unique part of his armor is the ability to resist being cursed, as in something that would change his make-up as a human or within his skills, unless it’s something to power him up or assist him in making him more useful in battle, otherwise the person will have to overpower the armor’s defensive capabilities.

Tengoku no Ken: This weapon is literally called the Sword of Heaven. The main properties of the sword in terms of its design are three main factors. The first on is the contrasts between the pure white color of the cutting edge and then the crisp contrast of the black flat parts of the Katana. The Second is the white handle with black inlays, and finally is the white sheath with black Kanji spelling out the blade’s name. This weapon came about from the rigorous training with Sagumi to help him to shape his focus in protecting those he loved by his will to fight and become stronger. Since Kaito reminded Sagumi of himself a long time ago, he began purposely shaping him to become stronger in the ways that he was weak in the past. This forced this form to make its own legendary weapon. This weapon’s power is based not just on his physical capabilities, but his capability on wielding weapons, and how much energy he has, the more energy he has the stronger the blade is and the more capable it is of cutting through defenses that normally aren’t able to be cut through. This is the representation of a Phantasm class weapon, and as this is such a weapon it's tied to his soul since he forged it out of his soul and made it his own therefore stealing the weapon is very hard to nearly impossible to do.

Yasaka no Metagama The final part of this set is the accessory that finishes up the three part set. This item is the representation of his will, and also the people who he knows has his back. The more people he has the brighter the jewels shine, and the more that are created, when he knows that most or all of the people that he loves and cares for are behind him all the jewels glow. This accessory does three main things. The First one it helps him to balance out the usage of his energy so he doesn’t over use it and force himself out of his form. Second usage is to allow him to create devastating attacks with his Katana allowing him to have ranged slashes and arcing beams of pure energy that can pass through all non-spiritual substances, unless Kaito has more energy, and will then he can break through spiritual substances with some ease, but it takes time to do that. The final usage is to allow him to revert safely back into his normal form if the need arises for him to, because versatility is a real thing when you are trying to be the best you can be for the people you want to protect.

Main Ability:

Sword Saint: Within this ability, Kaito has complete mastery over all bladed weapons that are the length of a short sword to a Nodachi. In short this allows him to use any kind of Sword, but it also allows him to place his will and his energy into the weapons allowing him more uses than just close range combat with the weapon, allowing someone like him who needs ranged attacks when people can one shot the moon in this modern day and time. Sadly, this has a limit of if it is a soul bound weapon he can’t manipulate it as well because of the binding to the other persons soul, which would make something that hasn’t subverted to him easily manipulated unless the weapon allows the user to, then in that case it’d be fine for him to use the weapon in that fashion. The Sword Saint form which is compounded on the fact he’s a samurai allows him to do particularly deadly Area of Effect attacks with his types of energy, and manipulating them through his sword as the main medium. Sometimes he’ll use his armor as a medium for a stronger defense, but that’s usually a very rare case.
