» General Purpose: The general purpose of this upgrade is to help expand the arsenal of Ibiki's techniques. Since she is suppose to be a great combat user, I figured I'd expand more on that and the depth of techniques. I also figured it was time to upgrade some of the stuff in her profile since I've been putting it off for awhile. And, with the state the Gotei is in, they are going to need someone strong for the time being and I figured I'd get on grinding with Ibiki.

Plus I'd imagine ICly enough time would have passed to also warrant these upgrades. As I could imagine her finally being at the level of fighting on par with Captain-Commanders after all of this time spent kind of building her up. And I can see her using these abilities to otherwise help jump-start activity in the Gotei once she is all done and reviewed. I want her to be a pillar character there and help with activity.

GENERAL TECHNIQUES

Body Related Techniques

Wind Burst: Ibiki is capable of producing damaging winds by simply breathing out throughout a ten to one hundred meter radius. She will enhance the oxygen within her lungs through her spiritual energy, breathe out and be able to produce supernatural winds. These can rip apart the landscape around her, slash up opponents body with their vicious cutting gusts, blow foes hundreds of meters away and potentially be served as a catalyst to empower her fire based attacks when Ibiki uses them. There is no real limit to this technique other than she should have at least 10% of her energy in order to otherwise utilize it in combat. Otherwise, this technique is useless to Ibiki and cannot be used.

Joint And Muscle Manipulation: In order to further increase her speed, flexibility and dodging rate; Ibiki has learned how to dislocate her joints to escape the grasp of an enemy, an attack or make super sudden movements. Once such example of this move being put into practice is that if a foe grabbed her wrist, she could essentially snap it, break loose of their grip and shunpo backward in order to avoid being caught. Another illustration of this being used in combat is that if someone caught her in a strangle hold, she could effectively snap, dislocate and let loose most of her shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers in order to break loose and reform again.

The primary drawback to this is that it gets further difficult to achieve when she takes damage throughout a fight. This is because her body becomes more strained and she is more prone to long-lasting injury when she is in critically injured states. Especially if an opponent is putting stress or damage on her bones. So she will generally make sure she has enough stamina, health and mobility in order to do this technique.

Body Harden: Body Harden is a rather simple technique to understand. If Ibiki is facing a rather perilous threat, then it is out of the question for her to utilize the spiritual energy in her body to create a supernaturally dense tissue for her. Essentially, Ibiki is able to send the particles of her spiritual energy to any part of her body; whether that be her skin, bones, organs and anything else attached to her physical form. Then, she infuses a decent volume of this energy into them in order to temporarily enhance her durability to better deal with more troublesome foes.

For example: if someone were to try and punch Ibiki while she used Body Harden to create a denser layer of skin? Then they would feel as if they are punching outright steel based on how potent how spiritual energy is. In worse cases, she can even make her skin become extremely hot to the point of burning others when they make direct contact with her. This can then make piercing strikes, multiple blows and a multitude of different attacks less potent and bring down their attack power.

In most circumstances, Ibiki is capable of sustaining Body Harden for as long as she desires. Since the primary drawback with this ability is the amount of energy and focus it takes to sustain it. So, while she has no post limit, it's not as if her energy will last forever. Therefore, she prefers to use it in a quick burst and only when she needs to in order to pace herself out and not tire out during a fight.

Detoxification: This is a technique where Ibiki is able to use her spiritual energy in order to burn straight through toxins and poisons that are inserted into her body. Once she is able to be aware of them, it is possible for her to try and attempt to eject them out of her by dissolving every particle and atom of the infection in her body. It will take a noticeable amount of energy to perform, so she will need to focus and visualize the virus, parasite or toxin in her body; but she will be able to hopefully purge it or reduce the effectiveness of the toxin that is in her body.

Depending on how potent the poison is, this process can take anywhere from one to two or three post in order to dissolve and eradicate from her body. Granted, it still may tire out her stamina and health if the toxin started to have an effect before she was able to perform this detoxification technique. It is why she tries to use it the instant that she believes her body has been compromised in some shape or form. If she is able to do that, then she can reduce the effectiveness of these kinds of attacks rather quickly.

Mass Expansion: Mass Expansion is a technique where Ibiki is able to increase the weight of her body by one ton for every one percent of her overall energy. So if she were to give up five percent of her energy, she could increase the weight of her body by five tons. And, with every release, she gains an additional 50% of energy to work with. So, in shikai, she would have 150% of her energy at her disposal in order to use for this technique; while in Bankai it would be 200% and her third release would have 250%. Now, while this a lot of mass for a character, Ibiki can still retain her speed by using Resolve Force at the same time in order to bend the physics around her body to support her nimble momentum with this weight.

However, that does not mean this isn't without drawbacks. If she increases her mass too much, it is possible for her to begin damaging muscles, bones or rapidly burning through her supply of energy to the point of dispelling the technique and making her revert back to her original weight. So instead of going all in at once, Ibiki prefers to gradually increase her weight throughout a fight in order to avoid injuring herself. Furthermore, it is not recommended that she use more than five per percent of her energy for this in base because there is a risk for injury beyond that. In shikai, however, this recommended limit is 25%, bankai is 50% and the third release 75%. This is simply due to the fact her body is capable of enduring a lot more abuse in these release forms than in her base.

Oni Devourer: This a technique where Ibiki is able to reinforce her fangs and teeth with her spiritual energy. This energy then travels down her throat, covers her organs and empowers her stomach. Then, once they all become enhanced, she is then capable of straight up devouring attacks, barriers, equipment and other supernaturally enhanced objects or durable material. For example, Ibiki could eat her way straight through the earth, devour entire ceroes and or outright consume magic based attacks. The primary limit with this technique is that once she starts to feel full, Ibiki will have a cooldown period of 1-5 post before she is able to proceed with consuming these attacks. This often comes with attacks or abilities that have a large sum of energy placed in them, or if she consumes a large volume of something.

Speed Related

Devil Burst: Devil Burst is a shunpo related technique that works akin to a form of near teleportation speeds. As, with Devil Burst, Ibiki can increase her speed 2 to 4 times depending on what her release state presently is. Since, in her base form, she will see a higher multiple. While, in shikai and higher states she will see fewer multipliers since she is already in an enhanced state. This also can be used with other active multipliers, but there is a high chance she'll injure herself if she uses Devil Burst with them and it is not recommended unless it can be helped.

Now, with all of that said, this is primarily used when Ibiki is moving in short distances that are contained within 10-100 meters; fluctuating based on the form she is taking, augmentations in effect and the state of health and energy in her body. She is capable of rapidly utilizing her shunpo in order to appear all around an opponent at any given time when Devil Burst is active. Her dodging rate increases dramatically while it is active and it's rather hard to catch her.

However, what is more interesting is that she can apply her shunpo to anything her energy is attached to as well. So, through Resolve Force's influence, Ibiki can be connected and synchronize her attacks as if they were apart of her body. And, through this ability, she can greatly amp up her attack speed in order to outpace opponents when she needs to. As, for instance, she can have a burst of her energy suddenly appear behind an opponent, then another to the front and their sides in order to overwhelm them swiftly and give them little room to breathe during a fight.

With that said, Devil Burst can only remain active for as long as Ibiki's body can sustain it. Since it taxes her lungs, legs and muscles to sustain this speed. So she'll often only use Devil Burst for 1-2 post; if that. This is primarily used for quick attacks, last second dodging or for dramatically bolstering her striking power by boosting up her speed. It's also worth noting that this is less taxing to use if she is just using it on her attacks to amplify their momentum as she isn't taking her physical body at the same time.


Devil Mark: Devil Mark is a special shunpo technique that Ibiki uses in order to otherwise outpace her opponents. It starts by Ibiki gathering up a sum of her spiritual energy within her palms, feet or in an energy sphere in front of her. Once this supply of energy is made, Ibiki can then go on to tag the object or person she wishes with it. This will then create a magnetic-like pull and will attract Ibiki to that person or thing at rapid speeds.

For example, Ibiki could throw an energy projectile at a tree branch one hundred meters away. If an opponent were to fire off a burst of flames towards her, Ibiki could activate The Devil Mark and have it drag her away at hypersonic speeds without much effort on her hand. All she has to do is stabilize her body, prepare for the sudden movement and go full speed ahead. With that said: it's also possible for her to apply this to attacks as well. As an illustration of this: Ibiki could tag an opponent's back with the Devil's Mark, leave it inactive and then attract an energy blast to it when they let their guard to it and have them overwhelmed with the tremendous speed of the attack.

The primary limits to this technique is that she must have sufficient energy in order to perform this technique. If there is no energy to fuel this technique, then it's as good as useless to her. Additionally, Ibiki can only have four of these active at a time to prevent abuse of the power and straining her body or attacks. Thus, she is typically able to use 1-3 of them in a post at a time and they can cause slow injuries if her body is jerked too rapidly. Furthermore, if opponents can feel the spiritual energy tagging them, they can try and remove it from their body or the object Ibiki influenced in order to cancel out this technique as well.

Devil Pull: Devil's Pull is a sub-technique of Devil Mark. The idea behind this technique is that instead of tagging herself or objects in the area to make herself faster, Ibiki uses Devil Pull to mark a person or object in order to pull them towards her. An example of this is that if she infused the Devil's Mark into her energy, she could project it over a long-range distance and potentially hit an opponent or thing. If she is able to make a successful hit, then Ibiki is able to drag them towards her and cut the distance between her foe and herself.

This can also potentially cause heavy damages to the opponent because of the hypersonic speeds they'd be moving. It could cause blood vessels to rupture, eyesight to be blinded, bones to be crushed, organs to be damaged and they could be dragged around like a rag-doll throughout the landscape until they reach Ibiki and face the next wave of assaults by her other techniques or abilities.

Hand-To-Hand Related

Boulder Eruption: Boulder Eruption is a technique where Ibiki smashes into the earth and has a mass cluster of material from the ground scatter in all directions. This debris is then enhanced with her spiritual energy in order to increase it's sharpness, striking power, speed, and durability. Then, she is able to gather them, influence them and have them rain down on the opponent in an explosion of boiling hot earth. These chunks of ground, debris or junk can cause blunt injuries, smash organs, burn the opponents, break barriers and otherwise cause quite a bit of trouble for the opponent. And since this is a more basic technique, Ibiki can increase the scope of it to a large distance of one hundred to two meters in all directions if she so wished.

Devil Claw Crusher: Devil Claw Crusher is a technique where Ibiki will focus in on her claws and infuse a high volume of energy into them. Once this process has been made, she will then combine elements of Resolve Force into them. After that, she'll go on to charge the opponent or attack. If these claws are able to make direct contact, then they can potentially rip through magical attacks, barriers and many layers of defense. Most opponents will notice an extremely hot aura from them and may suffer burns just from that. This is primarily designed to be a technique where she is able to use her brutality to outright smash her way through defenses, attacks, and other obstacles to reach her opponent.

With that said, there is no real limit to this ability. The primary limitations is that she must always have energy, be able to focus her willpower into them and she should be in a stable enough state of health to be able to handle the technique. If these conditions aren't met, then she will be unable to use the technique. Additionally, since she only has two hands, she is only capable of using two actions with this technique per post. And, as always, if she continues to overuse the ability it can eat away at her stamina.

Oni Burst: Oni Burst is a technique where Ibiki is capable of punching the air around her in order to create fireballs in every direction. These fireballs are powered by her spiritual energy, strength and kinetic energy. So, bearing that in mind, this creates a telepathic link for her to otherwise guide the direction of these fireballs. Hence, Ibiki can start shooting wave after wave of these damning fireballs at an opponent for as long as she can generate the punches required to produce them. So she can easily overwhelm a foe with them and force them to have to dodge, get their defenses up or use daunting offensive counters to otherwise drain them.

Since, if these fireballs hit, they are capable of quickly compiling on top of one another causing burns, dehydration and otherwise draining them of their energy. And, due to how fast they hit, they can also cause impact injuries. This can crack bones, injure organs, knock the wind out of opponents and otherwise strain their bodies. This technique is only limited by how many punches Ibiki can make and how much of her spiritual energy she can use. As, if she is injured and has no energy, well, there is no way to make this technique happen. It's that simple.

Lava Hell: Lava Hell is a technique where Ibiki's fist or stomps are capable of making mass amounts of lava erupt in a fifty meter radius around her. This technique works by her focusing the spiritual energy of her body into a limb and adding Resolve Force's influence into it. Then, when she smashes that limb into the earth, it travels underground and goes on to convert the force of her strike into a transformative influence through her spiritual energy being the medium for these effects to be produced. Since, with Resolve Force, Ibiki can break the fundamental laws of reality through her will and then have a geyser-like explosion of lava erupt below or around the opponent in order to drown them in lava.

This can cause devastating burns, it can melt through barriers or defenses and put the opponents body under heavy strain. Additionally, one will still have to worry about the pure shock waves from the shocks; as they will be capable of rupturing organs, breaking bones or outright defying an opponent depending on how much impact is put behind the strike. So this is not a technique to take lightly.

Resolve Seal: Resolve Seal is a technique where Ibiki tries to seal away the spiritual or otherworldly energies of an opponent. She will often gather somewhere between 1-2% of her energy towards her fist, kneecaps, feet, elbows or horns in order to have a proper place for them to be used at. Then, she will infuse elements of Resolve Force into them and go on to charge the opponent. If she is able to strike them, then she can try and suppress bits and pieces of their power in order to make it more tiring to summon their powers, utilize feats of their body and transform. Ultimately, the objective is to get enough blows to where they are utterly exhausted and tap out due to pure exhaustion.

Opponents will often know this technique is active because there will be a mass of purple, white or red light emitting from the points of her body where she has this technique active. So they will have a sense that something is not right. They will then have the option of trying to seal away the strength, block it with barriers or just plain trying to dodge her. So, with that said, this doesn't really have too many drawbacks for her. The only requirement is that she should have enough energy in her body to sustain the feats of this technique. Otherwise, it will not be usable to her if she is drained of energy.

Devil's Strike: Lightning Burst Of The Oni's Rage: Usually, Ibiki will ride a platform similar to a spike and move at hypersonic speeds during her shikai release. After this point, she will swiftly accumulate a large sum of kinetic energy, spiritual energy and mental energy converted into additional through Resolve Force. Once this process is done, the embodiment of a colossal oni-figure with massive horns and fangs will emerge in the form of a white flame that devours both Ibiki and the projectile entirely. In fact, it is capable of growing upwards of one hundred meters into the air with how enriched Ibiki's spiritual energy is during this technique.

With that said, this technique will receive it's finally 0.2x boost after Ibiki utters the incantation: "Devil's Strike: Lightning Burst Of The Oni's Rage!". When that phrase is uttered, Ibiki will release a colossal punch from the giant that is capable of obliterating entire landscapes out of existence. As it has an attack radius upwards of one thousand meters in all directions. So it is quite the hellish power and has the capacity of melting, burning and destroying multiple layers of defense, shattering barriers, taking out armies and was even potent enough to help destroy one of the Kora A'ina's in the black world that was infecting the Soul Society.

With that said, since this uses up a lot of power, Ibiki tries to restrict her usage of it in a thread to 1-3 times if it at all possible. As this is one of her more destructive techniques and requires a lot of energy, physical strength, and mental focus in order to properly achieve. So she would rather not waste her stamina spamming this move over and over again as there is also a three post limit before she can use it again.

Fist Of The Devil: Eternal Strike: The Fist Of The Devil is a rather simple technique to understand. By utilizing her spiritual energy as a channeling method, Ibiki is capable of absorbing and replicating the energy associated with her movement throughout battle. Once enough of this kinetic energy has been gathered, Ibiki is capable of releasing it in destructive bouts of power. However, prior to releasing this attack, Ibiki will often say this incantation: ""FIST OF THE DEVIL: ETERNAL STRIKE!""

Once the incantation has been spoken, this attack will amplify the magnitude of Ibiki's strength and speed by 2 times for the duration that this technique is active. When this occurs, one or both of her arms will ignite like a star as her heightened state of energy will allow her spiritual energy to reach highly dangerous level. The muscles within her arms will bulge and expand and she will be capable of producing a form of power punch. As this augmented strike was potent enough to send a demonic overlord tier opponent from the mesosphere of Earth's atmosphere above Australia, all the way towards the islands of Madagascar during the Australian Conflict.

With that being said, this attack has a two post cooldown before it can be used again. So she will often try to either use one or both of her fist in order to make this attack a worthwhile strike. Additionally, other drawbacks that can be noted is that it tires out her physical and spiritual energy because of the strain it takes to summon such a mass amount of strength. It is apart of the reason why Ibiki likes to keep around her spiritually enriched booze and physical supplements to keep herself fit during a long-term battle.

Fist Of The Devil: Death By One Million Strikes: Before using this technique, Ibiki will often do two things. The first is that she will often be in at least Shikai since this technique requires a lot of stamina, energy, speed and striking force in order to sustain properly. Secondly, she'll often say an incantation in order to empower it and give it's monstrous effects. The incantation is rather simple: ""FIST OF THE MENACING DEVIL: DEATH BY ONE MILLION STRIKES!".

After screaming that outloud and unleashing that incantation, the flesh of her arms will be burned off and replaced with sheer spiritual energy for the the duration that this technique is active. Meanwhile, to the back of her, the spiritual energy of Ibiki's will produce ten arms comprised of her reiatsu alone from her body's aura. On her command, once she is prepared to unleash this ability, she'll be able to release this master level technique. By combining her expert speed together with her daunting strength, The Devil Girl can her unbelievable attempt at unleashing one hundred thousand swift strikes from each of her ten arms; totalling up to One Million Strikes in total if they are allowed to hit her opponent.

These effects on the opponent can range to more than envelop their entire body into a burst of flames so strong that one would believe she had actually summoned an elemental attack; but it is nothing but the overwhelming friction and intensity of Ibiki's punches alongside her furious spiritual energy that was causing this effect to take place on her foes body. As, while that is going on, her reiatsu consuming and breaking down his spiritual energy and abilities of her opponent with each strike that landed on them potentially.

Every bone in their body could potentially be shattered to pieces; piercing so deep into the person's body on a metaphysical level that even grand master durability users would take damage quickly and the connection to their energy would be heavily assaulted to the point where it would extremely difficult to continue the fight more than likely. Move than that, however, a majority of organs that lay vested within the opponent's body could even suffer damage. From their heart, to their lungs, to their kidneys and ultimately their brain. All of these spots can be heavily put under her influence to put immense strain on them and FORCE the foe to hopefully blackout and render her battle match finished by a KO in the most ideal scenario.

With that said, this technique can only be used three times per thread. Once in her shikai, once in her bankai if she releases and once in her third release. However, she risks paralyzing herself if she goes above one time. Additionally, Ibiki's arm will be heavily strained and exhausted by the time this attack is over. They will be immensely burned, bleeding and the muscles will have been pushed to their limit and tired. So this can make her drained when you consider the fact her energy would have been greatly dispelled by this point. Therefore, when it's used, it's often used to otherwise end an fight and is NOT something she wants to repeat if at all possible during a match.

Jinsoku Hitto: In order to make this attack more potent, Ibiki will often form an incantation of sorts in order to empower it. This is because her spiritual energy will react and make this technique 0.5x more powerful than if she were to not say it's name out loud. Thus, before applying the technique, Ibiki would say this: ""Let's show 'em: Break - Jinsoku Hitto"

Then, after having said that, a slew of bioelectricity will be seen erupting throughout Ibiki's body. It will seem rather sporadic at first; as her body's spiritual energy will be undergoing the the process of compression to become condensed and focused primarily across her arms and legs. Following suit, the aura of Ibiki's energy will form into a vortex of swirling purple energy that will be shortened in order to to constrict her limbs.

As, when this transformation done, each of her limbs will appear to be vibrating at such an insane rate that it was difficult for her to even keep up with; much less most of her opponents. Therefore, it will give off the impression that arms and legs are engulfed by this electric-like energy and luminous purple light; when in fact her limbs were moving so fast that not even the supernatural eye could easily keep track of them.

Now, the essence of this technique is broken down into the fact that it is the unification of Hakuda and Shunpo transpired to give The Zaraki the best of both worlds. This was a special technique that merged these elements into one force to grant the user a small burst of insanely heightened movement and offensive blows. How was it achieved? From the constant barrage of momentum associated through Shunpo, Ibiki was able to channel that movement into specific ranges in her body. Then, thanks to her bodies durability and stamina, transform it into a brief state of constant shunpo release.

Coming immediately after, the next phase of this technique would be to take the dense amount of spiritual energy that her body possessed and actually sacrifice it, infuse it into her bodily structure and dramatically bolster her Hakuda capacities. Instead of trying to defend herself against an assault, or run away from it; Ibiki's plan is to use this technique to simply blitzkrieg through a whole attack with brute force.

With that said, this technique has a time duration of 2-6 post; depending on how hard Ibiki wants to push her body. After that, it requires a 2-6 post cooldown before she can use it again. And, each time it is repeated, her body, energy and stamina will be more and more depleted until she reaches zero.

• Jinsoku Hitto High Speed Impact Technique: This is considered to be a sub-technique of Jinsoku Hitto. Using this technique she can condense all of the power further by separating to a single limb in order to amplify it's effects by four times. By putting out any of her limbs before her, all of the bioelectricity and reishi that are gathered in the prior transformation are infused to an appendage of choice. This then results in the aura around her arm increasing two times in size and becoming golden in color as a massive booming sound echoed throughout the landscape around her battle.
  
  What occurs after that boom is unleashed? Well, by combining and focusing Jinsoku Hitto into this one corner on her body, it's effects more than quadrupled within that single range on her body by taking the three other limbs which were using that energy and fusing it into that one extremity. Which is why once the light and electricity clears from her, there will appear to be a heavy amount of smoke and as it cleared the smoldering char from the intensity of this technique's effects will take it's toll on her body.
  
  Yet, it's pain is something Ibiki bares with. With this technique in effect, a chainsaw-like effect can occur as Ibiki can use her natural born speed to tear a line straight down the middle of this mammoth sized attacks as if they were butter. This technique is even capable of negating and nulling spiritual energy if it's amplified to a high enough level.

Oni Punch: This can be considered a special technique that Ibiki possesses and can access in any base or released form. Essentially, she is able to use her spiritual energy as a medium in order to absorb most of the physical strength she possesses in her body. Once this has been gathered, Ibiki will then summon up a great deal of her reishi and reiatsu in order to transfer it into a fist of her choosing.

After having gathered up all of this strength, The Oni Punch is then able to be made a reality What this technique allows her to do is release all of her physical might at once in a destructive attack that is capable of obliterating entire cities, islands and even small countries. The reason being is because her potential for striking strength can be greatly bolstered depending on the release form that Ibiki is presently in.

Now, while she cannot use this with any sort of augmentation ability or equipment, The Oni Punch is extremely potent. It is capable of obliterating entire armies, destroying magic on a grand master scale and breaking through even the most rigid and complex of defenses. However, Ibiki will more than likely loose control of her arm for one thread or two because of the fact she is releasing so much energy at once.

Additionally, this technique takes a lot of focus because of the fact she needs to make sure she isn't destroying everything around her. As, while it's great to have striking power capable of blitzing nations, it doesn't do good if herself, others or the entire landscape for what she is fighting for is destroyed. So it takes a great deal of willpower, focus and pain endurance to bear as this move is potent enough to place her whole body and mind in pain. So it can be assumed that this can only be used four times per thread; one for each limb she is willing to sacrifice.

Furthermore, after this punch is released in her release forms, Ibiki will not be able to go higher than 80% of her fullpower for a duration of one or two threads after this. So it is somethign that she must used with caution and not recklessly. Therefore, she tries to use this only when nothing else will work as it will be a sure-fire way to end any war or battle in her mind depending on the scope of it.

RESOLVE FORCE TECHNIQUES

Resolve Force Abilities/Techniques

Sealed State: Ibiki, at this point in her progression, is able to use most of her Resolve Force abilities/techniques in her base form. The only difference is that they will often be less potent than they would be in their released forms. This is mostly thanks in part to her training, growth in power and bond she has forged with her Zanpukto spirit.

Devil's Void: Devil's Void is a technique where Ibiki is able to disperse her spiritual energy across a ten-meter area. After this energy is spread, a white mist will spread and it will appear as if the region Ibiki influenced is glowing with a silver light. When this process is activated, she will then infuse elements of Resolve Force into it. Then, when an attack enters it, they will potentially have their momentum ceased or slowed based on varying factors ranging from tier, potency, speed, force and skill of the attack.

If Ibiki is able to overpower it or alter its direction, then she can use Resolve Force to redirect the direction of the attack and send it back at the opponent or in another angle entirely to have it avoid hitting her. The primary limitation with this ability is that she must be at least 25% health and she can only use it 1-2 times per post with a 1-2 post cooldown before being able to use it again.

Resolve Warp: Resolve Warp is a technique that allows Ibiki to travel between dimensions. This works by Ibiki using her memory in order to visualize an astral projection of the realms she has traveled to. Once she understands the place on this astral map within her mind where the location she wants to travel to is, she is then capable of summoning light amounts of spiritual energy in order to create a wormhole there. After patching through between worlds, Ibiki can then teleport herself or others to these locations. As she is capable of transporting mass objects, armies or just herself to these places as long as she can pinpoint them through her mind.

This, however, cannot be used for combat unless it is to escape, travel a distance of twenty meters or to buy time. I.E. Ibiki could use it in order to try and catch the opponent by surprise through creating a vortex for her to travel through that appears behind the opponent. However, this will only be usable 1-2 times per post and requires a 1-2 post cooldown.

Solar Punch: Solar Punch is a rather simple technique to understand. Essentially, Ibiki uses her spiritual energy as a way to absorb and produce mass amounts of heat within an area. It eventually reaches a point where a single punch is able to produce flames that act as projectiles. These outburst of flames can go on to burn the opponent, drain them of energy and cause intense damage and strain to their body. Furthermore, these effects can be doubled on top of the hellish force used behind the punch and they can be sent flying across the landscape with the amount of spiritual power being packed behind the strike.

Telepathy: Resolve Force is capable of producing mass feats of telepathy. Ibiki can achieve this by spreading trace amounts of her spiritual energy across a vast distance. From there, her energy tries to project her voice across a wide spread range so that her voice can be heard all throughout the lands. Although, as a secondary function for privacy, she can also have her energy bond with someone, and if they accept, she can project her voice inside of their head and infuse visions, information, and memories into it.

Having said that, as a distance measurement, she was once able to scatter her reishi across the entire Soul Society in order to inform most in the Gotei of a tournament she was hosting. So it can be assumed that this ability does not appear to exhaust Ibiki too much. While it may become harder to project it across large-scale distances when she is exhausted, it is presumed she can use this as effortlessly as talking, breathing and blinking. Additionally, opponents can also just try and block her out during combat if she attempts to use it offensively. It can be shielded against with mental blockades, barriers and so on.

Morale Boost: Ibiki is capable of using Resolve Force in order to increase the willpower and pain tolerance of other characters. This is because, if they are receptive to her, she can spread the particles of her spiritual energy to them and have it bound with the character. Once it does that, it will synchronize their minds to Ibiki and she can begin to inject vast amounts of her boundless willpower into them in order to restore their sense of confidence, heighten endurance to pain and march her men or allies forward to victory.

The primary drawback with this ability appears to be energy and willpower constraints. Since there is no force in this world that can come from nothing, the fuel to power this techniques comes from the volume of mental energy stored in her willpower and trace amounts of her spiritual energy to make the medium for this to be possible. Therefore, if she is taxed on either of those, it can be more difficult or impossible to use this morale-boosting technique.

Energized Appendages: Ibiki is capable of forming additional arms from her energy's aura. When it surrounds her body, she can mentally envision and then project appendages made out of her spiritual energy. These can be made to be just as potent as her arms and are useful for overwhelming opponents in close-range combat. Although, with enough spiritual energy, she can spread these limbs across long-range distances. Such as extending an energized appendage to cover a one hundred meter range. She can also create as many arms as her spiritual energy can sustain; which is around one hundred to two hundred.

However, most of the time, Ibiki only uses two to six additional arms in combat. The more she adds, the more she has to keep track of mental and sustain physically with her energy. So, it's much easier for her to just focus on those basic levels rather than jacking around with that. Other than that, there appears to be no limit other than the fact she must keep focused nad have a supply of energy to sustain the feat. If there isn't a stable source of energy to fuel this technique during battle, then it will not be able to be formed properly and it will be unusable to her.

Hakuda Release - Oni Shi [Oni Death]: This is a technique that requires Ibiki to summon a heavy volume of spiritual energy into her right fist. Once this process has been commenced, the whole of that same arm will be devoured by a golden fire. The flames of this inferno may even prove hot enough to melt straight through other attacks if it comes int contact with it; which makes it perfect for splitting barriers in two like butter. With that said, after having finished this protocol, Ibiki will then go on to charge the opponent and utter the incantation: "Hakuda Release: Oni Shi"

Following these actions being performed in the midst of battle, Ibiki will then see a tremendous boost in speed in order to break the distance between her opponent, put more force into her attack and to summon the additional kinetic energy to swamp down on the foe. As the overall intent is to strike her targets heart and shatter their soul chain in the process if they are a shinigami. If not a shinigami, then she will attempt to otherwise obliterate the centralized core of energy within a person's body that otherwise regulates the pathways of energy within their body.

By injecting a dangerous volume of her physical strength and kinetic energy into her spiritual energy, this force would compound and amplify her metaphysical striking power to the point of being able to pierce a person's soul chain and shatter it. In doing so? This would result in the negation of his spiritual abilities and bring with it the end of a battle. And, if the foe is not careful -- they'll receive a gaping hole in their chest.

Luckily, Ibiki can only use this three times per thread and she has three chances to catch the opponent with this technique before the ability is disallowed for the duration of the thread. Additionally, this technique has a one to two post cooldown after being used. Additionally, this technique was used to kill The World Breaker known as Kazuya by Ibiki. So it has proven potent enough to be able to kill foes stronger than herself if need be.

Devil's Void: The Devil's Void is a technique where Ibiki is capable of gathering her energy in a spiral like vortex in front of her. It can vary in size from the width and height of a small person, all the way up to a building depending on how much focus and energy Ibiki puts into it. When this mass of energy is done reforming, Ibiki will then charge it with her Resolve Force in order to create tremendous currents of air that suck up attacks, objects and sometimes people into this vortex. It will devour them and otherwise transport them to different dimensions or seal them away depending on how Ibiki is able to use them.

An illustration of how this ability is used is the fact that she could summon Devil's Void in order to consume a cero attack. This may result in it being teleported and transported into the depths of Hueco Mundo where it can explode in an area where no one is around. A second example of it's usage comes when it is utilised for sealing. Ibiki could potentially activate Devil's Void, consume an object and then seal it away within a sub-realm in order to prevent it from being used. Of course, if someone understands where this object is being sealed at, they can attempt to find the realm and try break through her seal to retrieve it back. As, when it is sealed, most opponents who can sense through dimensions, or have a bond with their object, will have a cosmic sense of where this item is and attempt to take it back.

The limitations of this technique are that she is only capable of using it for one to two per post and they require a two to three post cooldown before it can be used again. It also takes up a fair amount of energy and is not something that should be used if she doesn't have at least 25% of her health and energy with her. Otherwise, this ability becomes unstable and Ibiki risks injuring herself in the process. Furthermore, when she seals objects, often times they are not sealed forever. Once she is done with the fight, chances are the object will be dispelled from the realm and discharged in a random location. Ibiki primarily uses it to disarm opponents in combat more often than not.

Devil Seal Break [Technique]: Devil Seal Break can be considered a form of sealing. So, with that said, she'll often have some form of incantation before utilizing this ability in order to make it potent. Thus, Ibiki will holler this out before activating it: "Devils Seal: BREAK" After saying that incantation, Ibiki can begin the protocols towards summoning this technique's true power.

This is a technique where Ibiki puts both of her fists together and smashes the opponent wherever she can on their body; ideally on their skull in most cases. However, it is more than just a simple brute force technique. During this time both of her hands will be devoured by a white light more often than not. This illumination is met to reflect the power of her Resolve Force being put into action and combined with her hakuda.

Each strike that she made from the point of activating The Devil Seal Break is intended to continually break and smash the flow of spiritual energy within an opponent and cripple them until they are no longer able to fight back. And this influence can spread to any part of her body at this point. Whether it be Ibiki's legs, kneecaps, elbows or even the horns upon her head; any area of herself is fair game and will be consumed by this light.

The primary limitations here is that she limited by her physical strength, stamina and energy reserves to keep Resolve Force active. So the more she pushes herself, the more her body becomes strained and tired after making a certain number of strikes against an opponent. Therefore, she usually tries to make sure she can get a high accuracy rate on the opponent so she does not waste her time or energy dishing out this technique in battle.

And, for reference, this technique was potent enough to even stop a 0-2 character in it's stop. As this technique was unveiled when Ibiki had fought against Kihara; a shinigami on par with a 0-2++ and had the ability to otherwise crush worlds with his powers.

Resolve Restoration [Ability]: Ibiki has demonstrated that she has the ability to heal and restore the energy of others with her Resolve Force power. When she was training Seiko Takagai, Ibiki had used the ample amount of spiritual and will energy that is contained within her mind and body in order to heal and bring Seiko back from the brink of death multiple times.

This process works by Ibiki spreading out the particles of her spiritual energy to a target she wants to influence. After that point, she will then attempt to synchronize reishi to to the person she wants to heal in order to calibrate it to their body. This is so she does not rapidly activate the ability; as it's possible the opponent may have a body configuration that is not able to accept her spiritual energy. And, to avoid injuring the person in question, she would automatically disconnect and deactivate the technique.

With that said, once the all clear is given, Ibiki will use her spiritual energy as the medium to inject her will into. From there, she can remotely trigger her Resolve Force power in order for it to begin healing the target she wishes for it to. For example: it is within her scope of her power to recover limbs, organs and energy lost by replacing it with her own or using her energy as a replacement for it.

This knowledge mostly stems from notes taken out of Unohana's pagebook. Resolve Force is ability to have this healing factor because of the fact Ibiki had studied various notes that the First Kenpachi left behind as apart of her own version of Kenpachi training to fit the role. In doing so, she was able to learn a great deal of knowledge about the anatomy of many different types of bodies ranging from humans, shinigami, demons and so on. So she is able to convert that mental deduction and willpower into a tangible effect so long as she focuses, concentrate and makes sure to stabilize the wavelength of her energy upon the target she wishes to heal.

The primary drawback is that she can only heal as much as her energy allows. That is to say: she cannot entirely restore a 0-1's energy because she doesn't have the energy of a 0-1. However, she can bring them back to life if they are on the brink of death and can supply them with a sufficient amount of energy to bring them back in fighting condition. So there is no cooldown associated with this ability, but she does have a limit on how many can focus on at a time. As Ibiki can heal upwards of a dozen people at a time before reaching her limit.

Resolve Bestowal [Ability]: This ability allows for Ibiki to bring out the potential of others in a thread. However, there are a few protocols that are associated with this ability before getting too into its functions. The first of which is that the person must have a strong sense of who they are, how their will operates and what their drive is. If they lack these, then her Resolve Bestowal will not work on them. At best, it will be immensely unstable and not a wise ability to use for the opponent until they've mastered their mental talents.

The second requirement of this ability is that they must directly train and fight against Ibiki. Since she is a Kenpachi and someone who thrives off of combat, Resolve Force works at it's most optimum when she is in the midst of battles. This allows the power to measure the scope of their abilities, energy and otherwise grants it the capacity to fine-tune itself to the target it is going to eventually bond with.

Since Resolve Bestowal needs to bound with the host through Ibiki's energy becoming infused with the person in question. After this stage has been passed, this ability will seek to empower the vessel it occupies through their own ego and persona. For example, Ibiki would be able to produce and create a new power or ability within a person if they had a strong desire to be brave. This could result in them having a temporarily augmented state where their powers could be enhanced by three times; but only under the condition where they must face a threat that requires them to face their fears, concerns, and anxieties.

All of this must be done in thread because it takes time for it to have an effect. Ibiki must show them how to use their own variations of Resolve Force because of the fact this is empowered totally of their own will. As she can show them the depths of their potential, force it out with her training and unlock the ability; but it's up to them to have a proper control, understanding, and utilization of this skill. Therefore, Resolve Bestowal is not a form of training that should be taken lightly. It can inject great power within a person, even allowing them tier upgrades or skill upgrades, but it is very dangerous and can lead to injury or death if not careful. It is why Ibiki is more hesitant to dish this out to those who are not ready for this level of training.

Resolve Strike: Resolve Strike is a go-to technique for Ibiki when she wants to deal with more complex level attacks such as magic, reality bending and so on. Essentially, Resolve Strike is first powered by summoning a fair amount of spiritual energy into the limb(s) of her choosing. After this step is done, she must then channel into her mind and activate Resolve Force so that it's influence can permeate the particles associated with her spiritual energy. Once that protocol is finished, she will then need to infuse her willpower into the attack and it can begin to suck out the needed reaitsu, reishi and mental power it needs to fuel its potency.

So that then means Ibiki will be ready to unleash her technique on something like barrier meant to zap her energy. When using Resolve Strike, she could potentially shatter or lessen it's effects and dispel the magic with her bare fists if she so desires. Since the primary drawback of Resolve Strike is that it needs something tangible to hit against. If there is nothing solid that her fist can make contact with, then this technique will more than likely not work.

• Resolve Burst: And, for the reason above, is why Ibiki creating a sub-technique called Resolve Burst. Resolve Burst takes the prowess of Resolve Strike, but embodies it in a more abstract and non-solid form. Essentially, Ibiki will still go on to gather her mental and spiritual energy, but this time she will expel it within a given radius of effect where her spiritual energy can spread. So, in essence, she can create an outpouring of Resolve Force around a fifty-meter radius in order to try and negate something akin to a magic spell that traps the user within a slowed perception of reality.

Resolve Shield: Whereas Resolve Strike is based around trying to overpower and will through attacks, Resolve Shield is aimed at tanking them and being able to endure them so that Ibiki doesn't take heavy damage to her physical body. By summoning a fair sum of her spiritual and mental energy, Ibiki can extend this force to either cover her entire body or certain parts of her body such as her arms, legs, feet or wherever else she desires. After having done that, she'll then need to channel into Resolve Force and summon it's ability in order to achieve Resolve Shield.

Once this technique is active, Ibiki could create a very potent barrier that can withstand physical, mental and metaphysical attacks. As it is capable of dealing with a wide range of different powers, abilities, and equipment. For example: if someone tried to erase constructs of reality where her Resolve Shield was active? They would begin to notice an immense amount of difficulty that will make achieving their ability difficult or impossible if she is able to negate it. If someone tried to lower Ibiki's willpower while this shield was active? Then they would face a mental barrier which would otherwise prove perilous to bypass.

Hence, one can begin to wonder why this technique is quite the remarkable one. She is capable of performing it to a large-scale range; as she can activate multiple instances of it remotely or directly through the particles associated with her spiritual energy. It can even spread to allies and equipment if she so chooses. However, that will require more willpower and energy to perform; and this ability can get less potent if she is having to summon a great deal of it during combat.

Imagine that she has taken on heavy damage during a fight. It will take endurance, pain suppression and willpower in order to not give into the injuries. Therefore, that is taking away resources from Resolve Shield and may cause it's focus to shift and weaken. Additionally, she may also have burned through a fair sum of energy and it may only be able to be used in a quick burst to protect herself if she is in a critical circumstance. Therefore, she always makes sure to keep track of this mental status when trying to use Resolve Barrier during a clash.
