Aiko Kyoraku [APPROVED 0-4+]

KG9: During her travels, Aiko noticed that guns were indeed a popular item for both defensive and offensive purposes in the world of the living. Even in the spiritual realms, some notable names had managed to put them to good use. Despite the weapon being very different from what she was used to and what she enjoyed, she had to admit there was some definite flair to it. Just like a fashion choice that wasn’t really needed but that looked, oh so good, she had to have one of them. In an effort to replicate it, Aiko would look for information about earthly guns where she figured people knew best, and where she saw them used the most: movies. From it, she landed on the design of the M9, and worked from it to make it her own.

The material of the weapon, including the slide, its assembly, trigger mechanism, and the frame were made out of a combination of materials. Using both strong and resilient alloys as well as adding her own reiryoku into it allowed her to create a truly durable and resistant material that while it looks and feels like a metal, cannot be classified as such. Through the weapon, Aiko could run any kind of kido she possesses. Nothing truly changes when firing her kido from the weapon as opposed to from their hands. It’s just really cool. However, the weapon does have its own unique ammunition she devised for it. On her person, Aiko will usually carry up to five magazines, including the one already on the weapon. Beyond that, if need be, Aiko can either use her phantom tech or her kido storage to simply retrieve more magazines should she run out of ammunition. Likewise, in situations where she does not have her gun with her, she can retrieve it in a similar fashion. However, if using the ammunition from the magazines, she’s limited to 15 shots. The only exception is the magazine already on the weapon at the start of the fight, as adding the round on the barrel makes it a total of 16.

The construction of the rounds was actually something rather unique on her part. Borrowing some knowledge from the R&D at Seireitei, and using some of the resources available to her in her personal realm within the Soul King’s dimension, she was able to create a rather unique material. It involved her own spiritual energy, materials she had acquired in her own realm, and even soul synthesized silver, something typical of the Quincy. All those materials culminated in what looked like silver bullet housing. Once again, though it looked like metal, the combination of materials had instead created an element that was too different to be classified as such. Unlike conventional rounds however, these were not filled with gunpowder. Instead, they were prefilled with dense and pure kido of her creation. One ought to remember that Aiko is widely regarded as a kido goddess. Her mastership over the skill is such that she’s gone above and beyond what seemed to be the limits, and approaches a level that’s beyond understanding. In essence, they’re kido bullets. Unfortunately, the weapon is not without its own list of caveats; and she was okay with it. After all, it was never meant to be a powerhouse to end or decide battles. Instead, it was something that could be useful to her in battle, while looking pretty dam awesome. For starters, Aiko will never be able to have more than five magazines with her at any time. That means that should she fire all the rounds from them, she wouldn’t be able to use the weapon until she went ahead and made the necessary arrangements to get more. Also, regardless of her choice of storage and retrieval, be it through a kido box or through the storage available through her phantom tech abilities, it does not matter. Whenever she has used all five magazines and retrieves more, she will not be able to fire any rounds until an additional post has elapsed. That’s to accommodate for the time needed to place the extra magazines adequately on her person and load one into the gun.

The disadvantages unfortunately don’t just stop there. While usually the rounds fired behave like real rounds do, their effects are essentially based on tier and skill. When a round is fired, the slide of the gun moves back, ejecting the casing. From the barrel, the kido round is shot at extremely fast speeds that are highly dependent on her level of energy. Given the massive amounts of energy she possesses, she was able to link her power to affect the speed of the round fired. At a tier of 0-4, the bullets travel at a speed of Mach 4. At 0-3 the reaches up to Mach 6, and at 0-2 a maximum of Mach 8. Really, she thought they were a bit slow, but that’s as much as she could manage. In the real world rounds fired off a handgun can easily creep up and past Mach 2. Even with her own massive reservoirs of energy and the amount of power she funnels into it, that’s as much as she could do. As far as piercing power, it is also depends on her target and herself. Usually bullets are meant to enter and pierce through, and for all intents and purposes Aiko’s gun does too. Unfortunately against truly powerful spiritual beings, the rules don’t really apply the same. When facing against opponents with either Blut, Hierro, or a similar racial trait from their skill sheet, their mastery checks against Aiko’s kido mastery. If their mastery is higher than hers, then no matter what, the shots will not be able to pierce them; assuming it hits in the first place. Against opponents without specific racial traits in their skill sheets, then tier is used as a means to balance the technique. Anyone whose tier exceeds hers will also not be pierced by the rounds. Instead, in those scenarios, the rounds would behave more like the rubber bullets used in crowd control. They would not be able to pierce through and cause a grievous injury, but they could still deliver significant kinetic force and trauma in the form of a bruise that hurts a lot. The gun can also be equipped with a weapon-light.





Oken: After being appointed to the 0 Division as the Master of Realms, Aiko received a very important welcome gift. Each member of the Zero Division has had the power of the Ōken imparted onto their bones by the Soul King. The Oken is a key that is put in the very bones of those who enter the Zero Division; it is a key given to them which allows them to access the Soul King's palace.

City of the Heavens: As a member of the 0 Division, Aiko has her own city at the Soul King Palace, where the organization of the Zero Division is based within.

Master Swordsman: Having trained most of her life with some of the best instructors possible, and inheriting the abilities of one of the best swordsman to have ever existed in Soul Society, it is no surprise that Aiko has quite the skill with the blade. Like most shinigami, zanjutsu is an essential part of their training. Among her many instructors in this art, Shinji Hirako and Kitsuke Urahara stand out as her main teachers in the art of the blade. Learning by the sweat of her brow, she was taught to how to attack, defend and create the most strategic and beneficial movements from the simplest of actions. Easily being ably to block and parry one handed mighty blows from extremely physical opponents, she is often regarded as being on a similar skill level with the blade as Shunsui once was, and she has made her father proud. Easily learning most techniques by sight and creating her own, her movements are rather unorthodox and fluid, making it extremely difficult for opponents to pinpoint her attacks and adding layer after layer of potential danger to her movements and death to her swings.

Legendary Kido Goddess: From an extremely young age, it was pretty clear that Aiko would grow to make her mark in history as one of the best kido users the spiritual world had ever seen. Inheriting her parent's gift in Kido, it was no surprise she was so eager and quick to learn it. Even before she got much older, she had already surpassed Shunsui and Lisa in their own advents. Not only is Aiko a marvelous kido user but she literally loves practicing it. She also had some of the best instructors in the discipline anyone could ever hope to have. Initially, she was trained and guided by Hachi, Vizard and former Lieutenant of the revered Kido Corps. He was able to teach her extremely high level Hadō and bakudo. With him, she also learned how to cast very peculiar and unique kido's which were not exactly one discipline or the other and had instead stemmed out of hundreds of years of practice and experiment by Hachi himself. Aiko also received quite a lot of guide and teaching in the art of Kido by Kisuke Urahara and Tessai. Aside from their nearly unmatched intellect, both Urahara and Tessai were widely regarded as some of the best Kido users in the history of Soul Society. Urahara was easily able to create a large number of kido at the same time and even create his own specific ones, something he instilled and inspired Aiko to do. Tessai on the other hand was the former Captain of the Kido Corps, a feat which hinted as his seemingly unteachable skill in kido by anyone else. His power was such that even Urahara was often astounded by the kido he could command without incantations as well as the forbidden kido he possessed and was able to perform. Under their tutelage, Aiko became able to make just about every kido known to her instructors. In fact, throughout their training, she would grow to become able to cast her kido, regardless of power or difficulty without requiring an incantation for any of them. As a token for Urahara, though Aiko no longer needed an incantation for any form or type of kido, he taught her how to say the incantation extremely rapidly should she ever desire to do so. On her own, she continued on with the teachings of her instructors. Building on their lessons and the kidos they taught her, Aiko had created a wide variety of Kido that are unique to her and tailored with her own energy. Though it would skirt the feeling of modesty, it is nearly impossible to find anyone with a higher degree of mastership over kido than her. Easily being able to create new kido stronger than some of the most powerful known kido, she also possesses knowledge over forbidden kido. Having surpassed her parents ages ago, she has become a legend in kido, and one that will undeniably be spoken off for millenniums whenever someone speaks about the best of the best in the discipline.

Though the spell is very difficult to use, as some well renowned users have only been able to display a third of its power without using the incantation, Aiko can use it easily at its top potential. However, if Aiko uses the incantation it is noticeably different in appearance. The sky appears to darken as multiple boxes of black energy appear, each of them topped off with cross-shaped spears, before they multiply and close in on their victim.

Description: A gigantic meteor is created in the atmosphere with supernatural dimensions and then thrust as the solidified giant rock speeds at amazing speeds onto the target.

Hadō # 100. Kyokuchōshinsei (極超新星, Hypernova)*
Incantation: All powerful and merciful beings of the heavens inscribe me with your power. Lend me the power that cannot be created on this world. Across galaxies gather the energy which no man can control, and deliver it onto my hands for divine judgement. May the unworthy see their ends in destruction and pain with a power so great no one may see again.
Description: The crowning jewel of Aiko's legendary mastership over kido. Far beyond the reaches of specialized sight and man, an enormously powerful blast is condensed into a gigantic sphere that dwarfs the power of a supernova. With a motion, the blast travels the distance at near light speeds effectively hitting the opponent or being directed until it does. The attack is designed to seek the target and impact nothing but it, primarily because the power of this kido is enough to damage the earth and the core and possibly decreasing the lifespan of the planet if on the world of the living or Soul Society itself if it were to be shot there. Therefore, this kido is only reserved for the best of the best to deal upon them a punishment only the cursed of fate will have the nightmare of enduring.


*These kido are specially created and tailored by Aiko on her own building on the training she obtained from her instructors. Therefore, though she assigned the rank to the kidos based on their powers, the kido belong to her.*

Noren Mekuri (暖簾捲り, Curtain Stripping)

Extending their hand, Aiko appears to be gripping thin air before stripping away the technique which is currently in effect. Doing so creates a light blue-violet aura around the object which is being revealed as it gradually comes into view.


Shunko: At a very young age, and during the time when she trained with Yoruichi, Aiko got a chance to see her display her shunko. Aside from the name and the observations she could make herself, there was no real teachings or guidance given to her. Shunko was a very special technique, and Yoruichi had intended for Aiko to either figure it out herself in her future as she progressed and got stronger or simply not if she couldn't handle it. Throughout her life, it was always a somewhat secretly inner goal of hers. Though Kido and other disciplines were seen been practiced the most, on the back of her head, shunko was always picking at her abilities, and she never wasted time to try and get closer to the technique, crack it, and make it hers. Hachi was of significant importance in her endeavor. In between their kido training, though he was not personally acquainted with shunko he allowed her to see and experience what channeling kido through the body would feel like. Tessai and Urahara also helped her to gain more ground and get near attaining the technique. Given Aiko's near-legendary status in kido and dominion over it, she found it quite easy to manipulate it and bend it to her will. Combining it with her speed and her hakuda experience, she would finally learn to use shunko later on in her life and master it, making it a uniquely part of her powers that was hers.

Much like her Zanpakutō's abilities, the element of Aiko's shunko was a reflection of the element in her soul. Water. With her nearly immeasurable amount of spiritual pressure she would let out unreal amounts of pressurized kido that manifested as overflowing currents of water. Initially, Aiko would always end up being naked after every use of the technique as the amazing power of the technique practically shredded and disintegrated her clothing into nothingness. It was also in part why she spent much of her time training naked, much like Yoruichi had done centuries before. It was not until returning to Soul Society and becoming close to Tsubasa that he provided her a fair number of her school-girl uniforms but with an specially created spiritual material that did not get destroyed once the technique was active while maintaining the texture of the fabric. However, given the massive power of the technique, the clothing can only hold for so long. For the most part, the outfit will remain as is, however, if the battle drags on to fairly lengthy terms it has been known to shred pieces of the clothing. Though it has not been tested, it is possible that the clothing will progressively shred more the longer the battle drags on. Being naked however, has never been a concern for her.

Upon activation, Aiko's body is surrounded and encircled multiple times by the water and reiatsu she makes. She once compared some of the characteristics of her shunko to the water cycle. Almost like a water vortex, there are a plethora of thin and thick waves of water encircling her as they spiral indefinitely, allowing her to maintain her shunko for as long as she wishes. As soon as she begins using shunko, there is an extremely loud sound hear as if millions of waves crashed onto rocks all around them. Aside from creating massive explosions and craters, the ability grants Aiko a wide variety of benefits. The water, as it automatically encircles her body, seems to do more so around her limbs and torso, allowing her to deliver extremely powerful blows and maintain attacks that could easily rival and even exceed most bankai. At will, Aiko can freely fire water based attacks from any of her limbs or anywhere on her body by motioning the specific body part. However, she may even do so without moving a muscle by merely willing it with her mind which makes her combat prowess much more difficult to deal with. The water in her shunko can be manipulated completely to create rather thin or thick attacks, long or short and even manipulate the sharpness and bluntness level or the texture and toughness of the water.

By supplying enough energy and power to the shunko, she can block most elemental attacks by changing the qualities of the water as block as block blades or any other solid objects through sheer power.


Shunko Whirlwind: After using her shunko, Aiko can control and manipulate the plethora of water streams spiraling around her body in a vortex. By making them extremely tough and able to whistand nearly any attack, she purposely reshapes the edges of the water streams to be razor sharp with jagged ends to mirror what one would see in fish hooks. Using her ungodly speed and the near-godly power of her shunko as a catalyst, she spins at extremely fast speeds to the point where anyone looking at her would only see a blue sphere with a myriad of spiky sharp structures surround her. Even at that speed, she is able to sense and see her opponents. Given her largely unorthodox movements, she is able to travel at nearly unreal speeds in any direction she wishes, easily changing her course and goal at a moment's notice. This an specially tailored technique of Aiko's as it provides both a deadly form of attack and a nearly perfect form of defense.

Shunko Drilling Webs: At will, during her shunko state, Aiko may allow strong sharp bodies of water of varying degrees of thickness to come out and aid her as she so pleases. She has been known to allow a large number of spiraling sharp and through bodies of water to erupt from her back and her body to pierce, destroy, attack and protect her from nearly any attack, caving them down under the overwhelming power of her shunko. Likewise she has been known to shoot out from her hands a wide and large number of water-senbons of extremely sharp and penetrating capabilities infused with her shunko power. From a similar technique, she forces a large cylindrical, almost like a spear-shaped- body of water to shoot out on her hand towards her opponent to impale, cut and destroy it.

Lightning Speed: One of the earliest disciplines in which Aiko was trained in was speed. From an early age, she showed great promise and skill in her flash steps, even going as far as impressing her mother and even her father. Though their own display of speed was renowned, Aiko was, at her age, many times faster than they were at hers. Following her escape from Soul Society with Yoruichi, she was trained every single day by the lady who was thought to be by most, the fastest woman to have come out of Soul Society. Not wanting to spoil and take away from Lisa they joy of raising and teaching her daughter, Yoruichi decided to train Aiko in only her speed. While the rest would be left for Aiko and her mother and friends to teach her, it would not have been fair to dishonor her father and her request, and so, their training went underway. Yoruichi trained her with a myriad of drills, each specially designed to increase her speed exponentially. Every time Aiko would get faster, Yoruichi would increase her own speed and give more challenges to the girl. Making Aiko chase her own shadow, then chase Yoruichi's, the drills were varied and unique. By the end of their training, Aiko was easily able to at least catch up with Yoruichi and engage in mild combat. Through the later years, the training Aiko would undergo with her mother and the vizards, and later on with Urahara, would also work to extremely enhance her speed beyond what had ever been thought possible of her. On her own, she continued to create drills for herself, much like her instructors had once created, constantly challenging herself and her own limits to force herself to become stronger and faster than ever.


Hand to Hand Master: Hakuda has always come natural to Aiko, though most may be able to deduce that just by seeing the form of her sealed Zanpakutō. Her gloves. Many of her opponents who know little to nothing about her have usually compared her to the flash goddess Yoruichi because of her use of shunko and lack of a Zanpakutō. However. That's a mistake. Aiko always carries her Zanpakutō, hers just happened to be gloves which effectively aid her in her hand to hand combat endeavors. Her father was well known for his hand to hand prowess, quite often resorting to it when facing weaker opponents to avoid drawing his sword. Though Aiko did not spend as much time as she had wanted with him, it seems some of his mannerisms and ideas suck with her nonetheless. Most often resorting to her hakuda, she is quite commonly seeing making use of hand to hand combat in altercations she deems of lesser importance or where she would just merely want to avoid a drawn out battle from ensuing.

Not only was her dedication and innate talent elemental for her mastership over hakuda, but her instructors pushed her to strive and become stronger in the discipline than she ever thought possible. Among her teachers in hand to hand combat, Hiyori, Machiro, Kensei and Urahara stand out as the most memorable although she did engage with others in hand to hand combat. From Hiyori she learned primarily utility movements that were very much unorthodox and likely of Hiyori's own creation. Though they most often targeted male areas and were meant to induce pain rather than win battles, she as a driving force in her mastership of Hakuda. Machiro on the other hand focused heavily on teaching Aiko how to best use her legs...for combat. The both of them were known for their power and long legs and thus it was not difficult for Aiko to learn and imitate the movements Machiro taught her. However, with Kensei it was much different. More focused on punches and elbow hits, he never had time for foolish attitude and pushed her to be better not out of anger but out of care for Aiko and respect for her mother, Lisa. In Urahara she would find the man who would instill what little she still lacked. Though shocked, she would learn countless strategies from the man that had once been in charge of the Maggot's Nest. Much like her other disciplines however, she was not done, with any of them, even today. On her own, she continued to pursue greatness training on her own and developing new forms of attack and defense and creating new and more challenging methods to improve. Her astounding mastery over hakuda is of the many reasons why her shunko possesses such an undeniably and nearly untouchable power.

Legendary Spirit Energy: It would silly, to be rather blunt, to say Aiko possesses an immense amount of energy. Her spiritual power is way beyond comparison and cannot truly be measured. Inheriting the immense spiritual power from Shunsui and Lisa, is not strange that she would end up attaining a power that matched and exceeded theirs. From an early age, most that met commented on her extremely large reservoirs of spiritual pressure, namely Kisuke Urahara. It is a wildly held belief that the rare individuals who possessed spiritual pressures beyond comparison usually have trouble controlling their massive power. In most cases, they are not able to control it all at all and thus it just leaks out by itself. This is not the case with Aiko. She possesses a masterful control over her powers which can only be matched by legends. However, her reservoirs of spiritual power are such that her latent power continually leaks out regardless of how much effort or control she has over them.

During her training, Urahara had to constantly create devices that would hide some of her power, because the massive amount of energy she gave out was too much, even when she lived with the Vizard and would jeopardize their secrecy. With time, even after many gadgets were created and intensive training with Urahara and others increased her control, her spiritual power was such where she had no choice but leave and continue to grow stronger elsewhere as not put her mother and others in danger. In her life, she has never met a single being who has had spiritual pressure greater than hers. The only one who has even come close is her husband, Tsubasa Unabara, whose immense spiritual pressure nearly matches her own. When she is ready for battle, there is no doubt that people will know she means business. Easily spawning hundreds of miles, her power can be felt even from many cities away from where the battle is taking place.She even affects the environment by just being there as the area has been known to become extremely humid given her natural affinity and her Zanpakutō's to water. Much like a goddess of the sky and storms, clouds move rather rapidly hen she faces down a foe in combat, as the air intensifies and round begins to crack and cave under the massive power she lets out.

Cellular Transmutation: One of Aiko's most peculiar techniques, she discovered it quite by accident. Observing the behavior of certain animals from the world of the living during her times of self-realization, she managed to find out the potential to recreate her own unique version of what she admired. Her own special genetic make up seems to have been mutated to allow her to manipulate the cells on her body to a great extent. By undergoing a form of cellular transdifferentiation, also known as lineage deprogramming, her mature somatic cells transform and duplicate into other mature somatic cells without undergoing an intermediate progenitor cell type. In essence, Aiko is able to revert the cells on her body to their normal levels and achieve homeostasis. The cells being controlled are not limited to the outer dead skin of the epidermis or even the dermis. Potentially everything within her body, composed of the cells and her own DNA coding can be reverted to achieve homeostasis, even more that of more specific organs like the epithelial simple squamous tissue found on the lining of the lungs.

In essence, should homeostasis be thrown off in any way, either via an injury or wound or some form of viral disease, or anything that causes homeostasis to not be maintained, the ability would quick in. By either reverting the cells on the skin in case of a wound, recreating more cells in case of a severed or lost limb, repairing an organ in case of puncture or malfunction or even revamping and creating new platelets and blood cells to override an infection in the bloodstream. Though the ability is somewhat autonomous in that, like her body does not have to think so to breathe as it is subconscious response, the ability would kick off on itself even if Aiko does not command it to, and thus, though larger wounds or injuries might be visible, she does not have to be aware of the impending threat or danger to kick off the ability. However, if she takes notice and wills it, the effects of the ability can become quite a bit stronger and finish quite a lot faster, rivaling some of the more well known regeneration techniques. Though she can affect he allies with some of the benefits she naturally enjoys, it is not quite the same. By placing a hand on them, she is able to take a sample of their cell structures and DNA and thus act as a catalyst to achieve similar results should her ally have any injuries. However, she is limited to only being able to heal injuries and wounds occurring in the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous are and adipose tissue. Though she may easily do so on her own body, she is not able to positively affect the inner organs or the bloodstream of her allies. Though its not quite clear just how fast and how much she can regenerate at the best of her capabilities, she infers she can likely regenerate limbs quite easily and very fast and rid herself of infections even faster. The cellular transmutation does of course come with limitations. Much like a lack of sufficient energy would render her unable from fighting or using certain abilities the same is true with this skill. Aiko does not need to will this technique to work, but she does need sufficient energy for it to happen. Therefore, if she's driven to the end, in a near death state or even in a situation where her energy cannot support other techniques and therefore this one either, she would not be able to benefit. Furthermore, when asleep or when knocked out unconscious, the effects are severely hindered.

Potential After-Effects and Perks of Cellular Transmutation: Aside from the outwardly visible benefits of cellular transmutation, there's a lot more going on in the inside that meets the eye. For the most part, the body is very smart, and Aiko's is no difference. Just like a body is automatically conditioned to release endorphin during times of extreme stress or pain to induced a more relax, feel-good feeling of well being, her ability is adapted to learn from the encounters and build itself to better fight what has been observed. Her ability enables her to upgrade most of her body chemicals to better fight what has ailed it. For instance, exposure to any form of antigen would likely, after Aiko has undergone cellular transdifferentiation and expelled said antigen, her body would adapt and create a larger number of stronger antibodies, specially by drastically increasing the response time of T helper cells and equally increasing the amount and power of the cytotoxic T cells they activate. Therefore, an infection, poison or any ailment that may have affected her at some point before it was destroyed, would no longer affect her as her body would have become immune to its potential actions.

Similar effects can be achieved voluntarily so long as Aiko wills it, for quite a variety of reasons. Most people do not have perfect sight. Different parts of the eye work together to blend in light, and be able to see better during the daylight and to some extent at night with varying degrees of ease and difficulty at closer and farther distances. By simply willing it, Aiko has modified her eyes and her lungs to better help her in the potential situation where she may need flawless response from them. Should they ever not be enough however, she can simply push her ability to empower the part of her body she wants to enhance.

Superb Eyes: Through her years, during her times of training, battle, and strife, Aiko has conditioned a lot of her body to be up to the task should they ever need to aid her. She has put an specially interesting effort on her eyes. By using her cellular transmutation ability, she has made her eyes easily and quite quickly be able to see clearly very far distances of nearly up to two miles. Likewise, she can see microscopic beings by focusing her ability and will in doing so, potentially being able to see clearly extremely minute nanobacteria. By heavily increasing the melanin pigmentation and shrinking the pupil exponentially, she is able to see much clearer during the day, even during extreme sunlight or harsh forms of light. During the night or in areas of pitch black darkness, enlarger quite a bit, and enhances the light sensitive cells allowing the retina a better chance to register what enters the eye, effectively acting as a form of night vision.

Enhanced Respiratory System: Thanks mostly to her cellular transmutation ability, Aiko has enhanced her lungs to aid her in tasks many would find impossible. She is able to hold her breathe and be without oxygen for a near unlimited amount of time. Though she has not tested her limits, it is likely that she may be able to expand her lungs to take and effectively store the amount of oxygen taken to last her nearly forever. In all her previous attempts, she has given up out of boredom, still being able to hold her breath. In places or atmospheres with a decreased availability or near lack of oxygen, her lungs and her overall respiratory system act like an enhanced filter, to a much perfect degree of that found on regular bodies, thus enabling her to safely breath in nearly all environments.

Temperature Manipulation: Throughout her life, Aiko discovered she could easily adapt to any climate, both the very warm, and the very cold. Though her body was simply exhibiting a natural response, she discovered there was more to it, and thus she came onto her ability. Her body, albeit because of this ability, seems to behave quite irregularly. She's often rather cold in very warm climates and very warm in colder climates. Aiko has learned she is capable of easily influencing and manipulating temperature to her well. Her dominion extends onto her body, her environment and atmosphere, inanimate objects, and even other spiritual and nonspiritual beings. By simply willing it, Aiko can force the atmosphere to become rather cold by simply getting rid of the heat in the area. Though she may not quite be able to make it snow, the atmosphere can potentially achieve ice-cold enough temperatures to not need it. Likewise, she may heat up the atmosphere to produce quite warm results. The same can be achieved on objects as she may freely change the temperature present on said object to fit her needs. However, Aiko may not make both hot and cold as only one may be present. Also, because of the striking difference, Aiko must wait two turns after first having increased the temperature before she may decrease it or vice-versa.

On opponents, Aiko may heat up the body or the limb of an opponent enough to cause a burn of varying degrees of severity depending on how much heat she forces on it, and potentially even some internal damage and dehydration. Likewise, drastically reducing temperature could also cause burns and freezing by releasing the heat, and potentially shut down organs inhibit slower movements if the ability is allowed to continue for drawn out amounts of time.

Earthen Goddess: By using her temperature manipulation, Aiko can super heat the air around her creating an air lenses to effectively block off electricity. There's no real visual effect that would allow the opponent to witness when the ability has been activated aside from a much higher degree of temperature around Aiko's body, unless the atmosphere is predominantly warm, perhaps because of her abilities, at which point, noticing the ability as being active would be nearly-impossible. Much like the ability to control temperature that this ability stems out of, it can be kept up for nearly unlimited amounts of time. The ability enables her to fight against foes making use of electricity without fear, as the electrical attacks would be merely blocked off, thus rendering said electrical-based attacks as useless.

Mythical Strands: From a very early age, Aiko would notice that her hair grew steadily at a considerably faster rate than anyone she knew. Its no surprise she has one of the longest, if not the longest hair lengths in Soul Society. During her years of training she would find out her hair was naturally long for a reason. She is able to completely control and manipulate her hair at will. She may grow, stretch, contract, twirl, bend, extend, lengthen, shorten, harden, soften her hair and potentially do nearly anything to it. Every movement of her hair can potentially travel at speeds comparable to bala shots which make her hair-based actions extremely fast. Easily being able to extend or shorten her hair to nearly any distance, she is able to create a variety of offensive attacks by sticking all her hair into one large strand or separating them in a wide variety of individual brands. Likewise, Aiko is able to control the texture and toughness of her hair, making it as soft as cotton or as strong as the toughest of spiritual steels if she so desired. The tips and the edges of the hair can also be manipulated to become rather dull and blunt or extremely sharp easily being able to slice through a plethora of material. Much like muscle fibers wrap with one another to become stronger and capable of stronger feats of power and force, though her hair is strong nearly beyond belief, adding more strands makes her hair even stronger.

Wind Manipulation: Aiko can easily create, control, ride, and manipulate any and every form of wind. Her control over wind extends to the point where can increase and change nearly every aspect of it, making it as sharp and thin as she so desires. Depending on the source and form of attack created by the wind, she can potentially create enormously devastating attacks of incredible brute force. One of the more dangerous aspects of her wind manipulation however, lies in the aspects of it which cannot be easily seen. All of the wind-based attacks are peculiarly precise, easily causing severe cutting and slashing damage. Among the many effects she can create, Aiko has been known to create tornadoes of varying sizes, wind waves of different sizes and degrees of power to get at her opponents. The attacks create a myriad of microscopic wind-blades of near nano-sized proportions that severely damage the body of her opponents on a cellular level and are thus nearly impossible to avoid. The extremely thin and sharp countless wind-blades enter the cells forcefully, even that of stronger surfaces such as hierro, and sever all nerve channels in the body, leaving the foe considerably weaker and unable to move after being struck. The wind-blades are sharp and thin enough that they continue on, and having been reinforced with Aiko's massive reservoirs of reiatsu, get at and disrupt the flow of reiatsu or chi within the body of the opponent, destabilizing it and lowering the amount they can potentially make use of during the battle. At will, she can easily create a large and powerful blast of wind easily capable of destroying the toughest of structures, and even leveling through rocky mountains and leaving nothing but scattered rocks and dust. The winds are strong enough to easily maul foes to nearly unrecognizable levels and even disintegrate most of the area which they hit.

Heat Wave: By combining her temperature and wind manipulation, Aiko can create extremely powerful heat waves. Aside from super heating the air in the battlefield, this ability can have a wide variety of effects. It severely weakens ice abilities and can potentially and with ease dehydrate the opponents, promptly making their skin rough and their lips chap. The steady and progressively increasing temperatures can easily cause mild hallucinations because of the excess heat forced on the bodies of the opponents and if prolonged for large periods of time, the heat exhaustion and dehydration can even make the opponents faint. By spreading the higher temperatures with her wind she can allocate higher temperatures from a distance using her winds and thus tailor the ability to target certain individuals and produce heightened effects on some.

Feline Transmutation: During her time training with Yoruichi, Aiko got a chance to see her transform into a cat several times. It was an ability she found extremely useful and rather cute, and one she wanted to emulate. Thanks to her instructor, she was able to imitate the technique. Aiko is thus able to transform at will into a ebony black cat of equivalent size to Yoruichi. Though the looks are strikingly similar their colors are strikingly different, the two share different characteristics like slightly different energy signals and rather different eye color. Aiko has discovered she can maintain the transformation for as long as she desires. The form allows her to greatly hide or distort other's perception of her presence since like Yoruichi's, Aiko's transformation deepens the tone of her voice a lot to the point to be confused with a male, and slightly changes the feel of her reiatsu. Therefore, even the most perceptive of individuals would not be able to figure out the cat is truly Aiko unless they had known beforehand. In her cat form, much like her instructor, Aiko can channel her spiritual energy through the body and move at incredibly fast speeds. Though combat is not out of the question in cat form, she is very limited in what she can do. She cannot access her Zanpakutō abilities during her cat form although the natural abilities are fair game. Also, her power is naturally somewhat lower in the cat form, most often reflecting a power of about two tiers below her real potential.

Reiatsu Color: Light Blue


Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Ryujin (龍神, Dragon god)


Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance:






Ryujin takes the form a gigantic and ferocious blue dragon. Easily reaching and possibly exceeding 1,000 meters in length, Ryujin is many times bigger than Aiko. In fact, his magnitude is such that she is just big enough to be around the same size of one of his eyes. The body is largely blue, with certain areas being predominantly lighter and some darker. There are a plethora of spiky and spinous processes throughout the body of Ryujin, even on its wings. A peculiar characteristic, he also possesses a large amount of fins throughout his body. In its mouth, a nearly countless amount of sharp serrated teeth are present, nearly as sharp as the incredible long and dangerous claws he possesses.


Inner World:





Aiko's inner world is one that seems to reflect most or at least some of the more vibrant portions of her personality. For the most part, the world is just one gigantic ocean. On the distance, portions of sand can be seen but they are just that, sand. Aside from the rare sandy portions on the distance, there is no land. There's just water and endless ocean. The only structure that can be seen is a lone castle that sits in the center of her world. It is up to Aiko to where she may go or appear in her world. Though sometimes she enjoys visiting the sandy areas or walking atop the endless ocean, she is most often seen wandering the lone and nearly-ghostly corridors of her castle. The atmosphere seems to be perpetually dark and hardly unchanging. It is most often very cloudy and dark from above, with the occasional but rare rays of sunlight filtering from above. It is also quite windy and even a bit cold almost as if a storm and rain were soon approaching.


Sealed Zanpakutô Apperance :


Much like her personality and some of her abilities, Aiko's Zanpakutō appearance, at least during its sealed state is rather unorthodox-looking. Instead of the typical katana look that most Zanpakutō take, Aiko's takes on the form of her gloves. Once one takes into account just how often she employs her hands during combat for her variety of techniques, it makes sense that her Zanpakutō's sealed form would emulate something that would be of importance and recurrent use to her. The gloves take on a red color that is specially contrasting with the rest of the colors visible on her attire. However, after some time, she found out she was able to influence their look as she pleased with the goal of always having gloves that matched her outfit. She had class after all. The gloves look and feel as if they were merely made of fabric, and to the touch, they are even more convincing as if they truly were so. However, that is not entirely true. Though the gloves do indeed behave how any normal clothing would, they are extremely tough and durable as a Zanpakutō should be. Beyond that, at the end of the day, a zanpakuto is truly meant to be a form of blade. As such, should she desire or the situation call for it instead, Aiko can simply trans-differentiate their form of gloves into that of a katana.


- Sealed Zanpakutô Abilities:


Rising Sun: From her sealed Zanpakutō, her gloves, Aiko can fire very powerful blasts using her fists. She may make extremely powerful energy blasts much like an Arrancar uses a bala or a cero during combat. Likewise, the power of her blasts and their speed are highly dependent on what Aiko wishes them to be but it has been show she is fully capable of creating tremendously devastating attacks and fire them at extremely fast speeds. Though the energy blasts just look like a large beam of energy, if she so wishes, she can focus enough to make the blast resemble a thrusting fist. Because of Aiko's ungodly reservoirs of spiritual energy she can fire devastating attacks nearly indefinitely if she so desired. Likewise, she may choose to allocate the blasts into her hands to be delivered during close combat as a point blank attack.

Morning Sun: Though her spiritual energy is definitely enough, Aiko has always liked to experiment with her abilities and develop new techniques and new boundaries to exceed. By using her temperature and wind manipulation, Aiko has developed quite the peculiar ability. By merely punching the air itself, Aiko can, at will, deliver massively devastating attacks of near-cataclysmic proportions. The wind and heavily increased temperatures infused with her energy cause the blast and torrent of invisible air to become super heated. Therefore, anyone hit or whomever had the chance to nearly dodge the attack would be stricken with the effects albeit varied depending on their proximity. The super heated mass of devastating air collides and slams down on the opponent shredding their bodies with extremely sharp and powerful wind blades that are too numerous to be counted. The excess heat also burns the skin as if the target had spent numerous hours naked under a grueling sun on the summer in the middle of the desert. Dehydration, rough skin, heat stroke and exhaustion are likely to happen rather quickly as well. Likewise, she may choose to allocate the blasts into her hands to be delivered during close combat as a point blank attack.

Fists of the Guardian: Since Aiko's Zanpakutō take on the form of her gloves, her melee attacks are infused with quite a lot of power. Not only are her defenses extremely powerful thanks to the inherent toughness of the Zanpakutō, but her punches are delivered quite strongly and her Zanpakutō just enhances the devastation.

- Release: Emperor of the ocean, rise up and become my weapon. (海の皇帝は、立ち上がって、私の武器になる)





-Shikai Description:


Upon releasing her shikai, it may be strange that Aiko's gloves remain, but given her unorthodox nature, its truly not surprising. However, the gloves remain as merely that, gloves. Her shikai instead materializes into a guandao which is a type of Chinese pole weapon. The shaft or body of her shikai is nearly as large as she is, with only a dragon's head in one end with a blade coming out of its mouth, and a very sharp and pointy end at the other end of the weapon. The weapon is largely gray or silvered-color aside from the slightly darker tonalities of the blade. It is rumored the blade is one of the purest and most magnificent of metals, compared even to jewels. It is difficult for the weapon to be dirtied or stain as even blood on the weapon will easily slide off almost as if wanting to keep the weapon pure.

Shikai Abilities:

Augmented Spiritual Pressure: Upon release of her shikai, Aiko's spiritual pressure boosts higher than what it once was, resulting in a power many times what had been previously seen. Easily making her reiatsu felt to distances far beyond the reaches of what she could previously accomplish, it is quite the feat to stay near her without succumbing to death out of the pressure and choking, and relentless push down on the body.

Augmented Speed: The speed is one of the traits that gets greatly enhanced during her shikai state. Aiko finds she is many times faster upon release than she once was.l Easily able to outspeed opponents that might have outsped her beforehand, the increase is exponential. Her movements are so fast that some individuals have even seen the after image and blur of her movements long after she has arrived at her destination ready to continue her assault.

Complete Water Dominion: Both in the shikai and the bankai of her Zanpakutō, Aiko has complete access to water techniques. Ryujin is the dragon god with complete dominion over bodies of water and sea storms. Aiko is thus able to create, control, reshape and fully manipulate to do as she wishes. Easily creating structures of pressurized and powerful water blasts or instead using them to create a barrier or walls, the possibilities are nearly endless on what she may do with the water.

Sapphire Phoenix At any time during the battle, Aiko may freely create a gigantic dragon made of water and fire it from the tip of her blade. The dragon is nearly 100 meters in length with a wingspan that spans easily over 200 meters. Though the dragon is completely made of water, it is heavily bested with the massive reiatsu Aiko has infused in it. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to cut down or destroy the Sapphire Phoenix. Upon impacting the target however, the dragon diffuses into the point of impact, delivering a devastating attack which cuts and shreds the opponent from the inside out in a massive point blank attack. Much like the phoenix of legend which rises from its ashes, the Sapphire Phoenix uses the water molecules in the air, or if the otherwise unavailable, those created by Aiko to resurrect and ready for combat once again. Though the phoenix may resurrected and attack nearly indefinitely, it is not so. After the third resurrection, the ability has a two post cooldown before it may be used again.

Water Vortex: Anywhere in the field, whether it be on the ground, any form of surface, or even the air itself, Aiko can create a very large vortex of water that spirals extremely fast. Almost like a black hole, the vortex sucks in the intended target. The vortex is purposely created under the target to better pull in the foe. Upon contact with the enemy, and nearly like a reflex, the edges of the vortex and the ripples of water it creates become extremely sharp, serrated like blades. The water then, at such a devastating degree of power and sharpness shred and cut the opponent delivering very gruesome wounds. Upon absorption, the foe would then be vomited through a similar water vortex that would appear anywhere in the field depending on where Aiko wills it to be.

Raising Dragon: Though Aiko may hold on to her weapon during combat, and for the most part always does, she is able to telekinetically control her weapon so that it hovers around her and travel on its own to any place or direction her mind desires. Thus she is able to block and slash and combat her opponent in nearly every way she wishes whether the weapon its truly held on her hands or kept hovering and traveling elsewhere. Should at any time the weapon be taken from her, it merely materializes and materializes back into her possession.

Year of the Dragon: Much like Aiko can naturally manipulate her hair, this ability allows her dragon spirited Zanpakutō extend its domain almost as far as her eyes can see. Her Zanpakutō is easily able to extend, shorten, bend, contract, twist, twirl, cut corners, bounce, and it may do so at extremely fast speeds that overshadow those of the extremely fast bala shots from the Arrancar. Not only is the body or shaft of the weapon blessed with these qualities, but the sharp tip and the blade on each end can also enjoy the benefits. The degree of length and maneuverability to which Aiko can control her weapon have not been tested to the limit but she seems to be able to extend her weapon and manipulated in any way she desires for as long as she wishes and for a nearly-unlimited length. The unique thing about the blade is that, although it can quickly change to achieve the desired wish of Aiko's, it always maintains the extremely tough and sharp power which are expected of her weapon.

Storm Creation: By making use of her water dominion and the power she commands over the wind, Aiko can create a myriad of storms. The effects and the specific effects she creates are many and varied but she does seem to have quite a few favorite. By flooding the battlefield with her water and forcing it up and manipulating it with her wind, she can create extremely large and densely packed and powerful waves. The waves are large enough to rival cataclysmic tsunamis and seem to be quite mighty as forms of attack and defense. Likewise, she has been known to incorporate her wind into her water to increase the speed of rotation of her vortex. In many occasions she has trained to create parallel or perpendicular vortexes at different sides of the opponents. Forcing patterns of extremely sharp jagged blades throughout the vortex she speeds the rotation to nearly unbelievable levels with her wind, exponentially increasing their cutting and wounding power. By continuing to do so, and solidifying two or more vortexes, Aiko has been seen to create extremely powerful tornadoes made of astoundingly sharp blades of wind and even sharper edges of water. The tornadoes have been known to be strong enough to whistand and block nearly any attack and deliver untold damage to those unlucky enough to be caught within its path. Much like the characteristics of tornadoes, the massive winds create a push and suction ability that literally rips trees off their roots, lifts up homes and completely changes the landscape into a scene of total destruction.

Divine Hurricane: Easily one of Aiko's most fearsome techniques, she tries her best not to use it in battle unless she has no choice. The devastating power of this technique knows no end and it would likely endanger more people than she would like and is thus why, reserved for the point of no return. By concentrating her temperature manipulation, she heats up the great reservoirs of water she creates. Once the water has been heated enough, she uses her wind to surge the water up into an spiraling motion. Doing so, she is able to create a gigantic hurricane of cataclysmic proportions. The hurricane is large enough to overshadow two city blocks. The winds are strong enough to level mountain ranges and literally reap the life away of those weak enough to be within its reach. Though Aiko stands where she pleases on the hurricane, she is not harmed. Serving as the goddess of water and storm herself, the winds merely phase through her. To her opponents, the combined effects of extremely sharp wind waves and equally sharp propelling water deals demolishing force of death. The power of the hurricane is said to reshape and damage the area and the battlefield in such a way that it is unlikely, save with arduous work and many years, that the effects of her ability on the land would ever heal. Easily able to manipulate the power and the direction of the hurricane, she is able to fight alongside the gigantic cataclysmic force.


Bankai Description:





Once Aiko goes into her bankai, she undergoes a tremendous change. Her outfit is completely replaced with a more simple and trivial battle garment. On the lower body she wears what looks like a kimono bottom albeit extremely modified. The bottom seems to be predominantly crimson red, and for the most part, it hangs seemingly loose from her waist, easily revealing large portions of her sides and her thighs. A smaller garment, likely of the same material is held underneath, which, although somewhat loose is not so to the extend of the other. Covering her most private area, it rides low enough where interested and perverted eyes might witness the lines and special contours of her body as they near her womanhood. Atop, her breasts are wrapped in bandages which go around her back, with a lone strip dangling down. However, the bandages merely cover the bottom-most part of her breasts, as the upper side, and actually most of her breasts are largely bare and uncovered. Still maintaining her gloves, Aiko also seems to retain the weapon she possesses during her shikai albeit with some minor aesthetic changes to it as well. The shaft or body of the weapon is a much darker tone of silver, almost as if it was quite old. The dragon head at one end of the weapon becomes orange-like in color with an extremely darker shade of gray on the blade nearing a black hue.

Bankai Abilities:

Augmented Spiritual Pressure: During her bankai, her spiritual pressure surges to the point where it is nearly unrecognizable and attributed to her. if she so wishes, her power is so immense that it is not rare to feel overwhelming spiritual pressure emanating from her even from other countries away. Her spiritual pressure reaches a point where having an effect on the surroundings is no longer relevant. The power she possesses is such that it literally affects the weather and the pattern of the winds and the waves across the world.

Augmented Speed: It would be an understatement to try and classify her speed at this point as being extremely fast. Rarely being able to even been seen or notice long after she has delivered her attacks, Aiko becomes a being of nearly pure speed. Easily blitzing and running circles around some of the fastest beings in the world, her speed is a testament to the power she possesses. It is said that before she even takes a step, the ground begins to crumble and the air to dissipate in anticipation to her steps.

Augmented Water Dominion: On her bankai state, her powers over water completely overshadows the powers she displays during her shikai. Easily being able to summon devastating amounts of water and infusing them with even more energy to create nearly impenetrable fortresses of defense and unnerving attacks, her power over water knows no end.

Augmented Water Vortex: Unlike on her shikai, Aiko can control a lot more power and increase the damage they cause exponentially. She is able to create a myriad of vortexes and thus an equally impressive number of tornadoes by infusing the water with her wind. The size of the tornadoes and vortexes are like giants in comparison to the still imposing sizes displayed during her shikai. They hold a lot more power too, easily shredding through even the toughest defenses and moving at alarming and nearly unreal speeds.

Enhanced Raising Dragon & Year of the Dragon: The degree with which Aiko can control her weapon with her mind its greatly increased. Easily making it slash and cover or block with greater ease, she becomes able to utilize just as easily as she would if it were on her own hands and perhaps, even more. Likewise, the extent to which her weapon may extend, shorten, bend, contract, twist, twirl, cut corners, bounce is greatly enhanced and the speeds at which it does so and travel completely overshadow what was projected during her shikai. With tremendously fast speeds faster than most eyes can see, the movements of the blade are beyond the reaction or reflex of nearly all opponents.

Enhanced Storm Creation & Hurricane: With the increase in power of her bankai, the power of the waves and sea storms she creates increase exponentially. Not only are the waves crashing down on the opponent much bigger and a lot stronger but they speed at which they travel are beyond comparison. Likewise, with her hurricane creation and manipulation, Aiko goes a step further. Easily being able to create two hurricanes of cataclysmic proportions and even up to a maximum of three, she may use them and force them all into the field as they collide with eachother causing extreme destruction. Though she prefers not to do so, she may even combine all three hurricanes into a devastating force of annihilation that would bring chaos and death to nearly anyone that comes into contact with it.

Temple of Nirvana: One of the colossal techniques available to Aiko, it causes huge changes to the field. Bringing forth a majestic an enormous castle, with several buildings ranging from 100 meter to 500 meters in height, that rivals the size of the biggest structures in Soul Society. The castle is surrounded by water as it floods the surroundings, gradually raising the water level. From all sides of the castle, flowing water rains down like a waterfall further adding water onto the field. Though the number of waterfalls have never been counted, there are easily over five. From one or any number of them, Aiko may force extremely strong attacks that have extremely devastating consequences upon impact. Also, the castle works as an invigorating buff of sorts as whenever it is present, not only do Aiko's water based abilities gain a tremendous increase in their power, but also Aiko's speed and spiritual pressure surge to even higher levels. Though the castle can definitely be targeted and harmed, the endless flow of water, both from Aiko, from the castle itself, and the flooding, continually repair the castle in a never ending cycle not very different than the water cycles. Thus the castle will always remain as is so long as Aiko is alive or until she decides to call it back.

Water Fiend: Lurking around as soon as the castle has been created, Aiko can call and summon the water fiend at any time she pleases. The water fiend manifests itself as a massively large two headed dragon, about 90 meters in length, seemingly made of a body of water. The dragon stands nearly as tall as the castle. Though the dragon indeed looks to be made of water, it is tightly pressurized and united with energy in such a way that it can whistand the strongest hits without caving down and deliver equally devastating attacks. Though it possesses an extremely strong tail and claws, it is its teeth which tend to be the most frightening as the mouth has nearly half a thousand of extremely sharp and serrated teeth. Should the fiend in any way be cut down or destroyed, a new set of heads would appear, with more obstacles for the opponent to deal and engage in battle with. The dragon remains in the battlefield so long as the castle remains, and since the castle is a manifestation of Aiko's will to fight, both remain present so long as she is alive or otherwise calls them back.

PhatomTech:

Initially, Aiko was very adamant and stubborn, refusing to want anything to do with the Phantomtech. However, with time, and after seeing the potential beneficial effects, she gave in to it. Her husband had some form of it installed, and in an attempt to continue to be toe to toe with him she decided to go through with it. Tsubasa aside, her position and the great power she held meant that one day, likely soon, she would be forced to engage in battle for the safety of her people. And when the day came, she would be ready. With the influence of Tsubasa, and partly because of her own great power, she was allowed many specifications and reservations that most did not.

Phantom Tech Abilities:

Extremely stronger skeleton and tissues: With her Phantomtech brain, Aiko is easily able to rush many things within her body. She is able to exponentially increase the works of her osteocytes, osteblasts, and osteoclasts. In doing so, Aiko has made her skeletal system become extremely stronger. Not only does it allow her to deliver extremely stronger attacks during hand to hand combat in melee range but also an increased in power with the swings of her weapon. Likewise, the increase in the ostecytes and osteblasts allow her to easily repair her bones should they ever be broken. Though her cellular transmutation ability already allows her to do so, the phantom tech merely heightens it and hastens the ability. On her skin, the phantom tech allows her to manipulate her body to increase coagulation and the karetanization of her skin to more quickly close an open wound and prevent blood loss. Though this is also something that she already does through cellular transmutation, the phantom tech merely hastens and enhances the accuracy and speed of the effects.

Increased Reflexes: By using the phantom tech brain to rush neurotransmitters throughout her body, Aiko can perceive and more readily react to actions taken by others. Being able to motion nearly all voluntary movements at such an speed that they seem to be merely reflex, she is able to dodge and evade attacks of great speed from very close distances without a worry.

Phantom Tech Powers

Temporal Dimension:At any point during or outside of battle Aiko can create a portal that looks to be like a black door with her name on it. It is a holographic projection that doubles as a unique portal. It only allows access to Aiko inside no matter the tinkering or the technological prowess of her opponent. Once she has stepped inside the black door, she enters her own personal dimension and dominion. Within, the space seems to be nearly endless as it spawns miles and miles as if it could be filled with things forever. Inside however, aside from the lone existence of Aiko, there are millions of fairly medium sized folders arranged in circles that stack into the distance, with the door she came through staying in the middle. If Aiko were indeed to use the power during combat and the door were to be destroyed, creating another one to exit or enter is fairly simple, requiring only a subtle motion. The space within acts like a further and more specialized extension of her brain. The brain, though some may be more developed than others are not perfect. Even Urahara and Tsubasa's whose intellect and reasoning skills are unlike nearly any other, do not have perfect minds as even they may make mistakes quite often and forget things. Aiko is no different, but her specially extension of her brain, is not. Basically, as she wishes, Aiko may enter her own dimension regularly and store or share information. If there was an extremely aggravating and sad time in her life she just would rather not remember, she would store the file in one of the folders in her dimension and simply retrieve it and relive the experience a different time if she ever wished to. Likewise, she may share memories and content on her brain and her dimension just to have to copies. It is also in her own dimension where she stores the information from battles and new abilities and techniques displayed by others. It helps her analyze techniques and further enhance and create her own, as well as go back into the memories of the past and further study them. Retrieving anything is fairly simple. If she has shared the information and recalls it, simply willing it will make the specific older sprout into different chains and lines spreading the information neatly with other organized information that may be of interest. If it is instead something she does not recall, simply willing it will name the database for easy location and relocation of similar information. Though she may create as many doors as she wishes at any given time and maintain them, given the focus required on battle, she may only keep a maximum of three doors active at any time.
