» Zanpakutô Name: Daimyō (大名, Lord)

» Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance: Takayoshi's spirit is unique in that it doesn't appear as a single entity, or even two, but seven warriors armed for battle. He has dubbed these warriors "The Seven Lords of the Warring States" (戦国の七主君, Sengoku no Nanashukun). Each Lord appears to be a samurai and is dressed in some degree of armor denoting this fact, though with their own unique accessories and spins on said look:
• Satake (佐竹) -
• Imagawa (今川) -
• Takeda (武田) -
• Toki (土岐) -
• Rokkaku (六角) -
• Ōuchi (大内) -
• Shimazu (島津) -

» Inner World: Taka's Inner World takes the form of an expansive castle of Japanese design, seemingly en-cloistered in a valley surrounded on all sides by tall mountain ranges. The castle has eight wings, each housing one of the spirits of the Zanpakuto in addition to the "royal wing" reserved specifically for Takayoshi. Most of the castle is styled in shades of black and gold, with various tapestries and artworks depicting different battles, suits of ornate armor and walls filled with weapons racks, though each wing is decorated more to the likings of its inhabitant.

» Zanpakutô Appearance: It takes an especially unique form among other Zanpakutō, taking the shape of seven separate yet identical nagamaki. The sheaths of each weapon are all a lacquered black color with golden hilt wrappings, while the golden tsuba are all wrought in the shape of circles with the kanji for each of the Lords names within them.

» Sealed Zanpakutô Power:
• Master of Arms: This ability allows Taka to unleash a fragment of his Shikai's power without having to fully release the blade. He is capable of transforming one of his seven nagamaki into any of the weapons granted to his Lords in his Shikai state. This grants him greater versatility in battle due to the wide range of weapons he is capable of choosing from.
• One Man Army: This ability partially summons two of the Lords to assist Takayoshi with an attack, wielding weapons mimicking his nagamaki. When an attack is made, one's blade precedes his own and the other follows after. This ensures that, even if Taka's attack misses the opponent, at least one of the other two will hit, making such an attack difficult to dodge.



» Shikai Release Phrase: Raise your armies (あなたの軍隊を上げる, Anata no guntai o ageru)

» Shikai Release Action: Taka says the release phrase for his Zanpakuto before unsheathing each of his blades in quick succession before tossing them high into the air. The swords are enveloped in a bright flash of spiritual pressure and smoke before falling back down around Takayoshi in a circle formation, though in the form of different weapons: a nodachi, a katana, a kanabo, a naginata, a pair of kusarigama, a daishō pair and a daikyū yumi.

» Shikai Appearance: Alongside the weapons summoned, Takayoshi's Shikai manifests the spirits of his Zanpakuto in physical form. Each spirit then wields the summoned weapons as their own.

» Shikai Abilities: Daimyō's ability allows Takayoshi to manifest the seven Lords that form the spirit of his Zanpakutō into the material world as warriors to fight on his behalf. Despite all being a manifestation of Daimyō's spirit, each Lord has a specific skill set and capabilities that revolve around their weapon of choice. Despite a Zanpakuto's strength usually increasing with that of the user's, the combat power of the Lords are static in this shikai, being around the strength of a seated officer (i.e. Tier 3). Thus while his Shikai is released, Takayoshi is capable of calling on the aid of seven stalwart allies at a moment's notice, however due to using all seven blades from his Zanpakutō's sealed state he is left without any other weapon to defend himself with.
