Gamma Zanpakuto Tomfoolery

» Name & Kaigo: Oh dear! Enshōjomaru [Fate Hindering Woman].
» Type: Kido-type.
» Shikai: Enshōjomaru takes the form of a long needle like sword when released. It is able to generate threads that are difficult to see as the user maneuvers around the battlefield and set traps through both tripwires, garotte traps, bindings etc. The threads can be used as a catalyst for kido.
» Bankai: Onnuibari Enshoujomaru [Treacherous Sewing Needle Fate Hindering Woman]. Upon activation of bankai, Onnuibari Enshoujomaru causes the creation of five large sewing needles which float around the user, allowing them to be controlled telekinetically and apply the shikai ability to greater effect weaving through the battlefield and spinning threads or impaling individuals and skewing them together. It's greatest benefit cannot be called the fact that there are five of them but the removal of the restriction which requires the user to hold the sword and limit its abilities.

» Name & Kaigo: Thank you! Sankyū [Turtle Dove].
» Type: Defence-type.
» Shikai: Upon release Sankyū's katana changes into the shape of a large circular chakram, doubling as a shield. It can be thrown and utilised by the individual as a projectile but is primarily kept on the person to absorb oncoming attacks and pacify them. Turning the energy fired at the shield into a smoke which obscures vision of those not touching Sankyū however indescriminately heals wounds of people inside the smoke.

» Zanpakutô Name: Shimensoka [四面楚歌, Four Sided Song].

» Zanpakutô Spirit Summary: Shimensoka appears as a woman who resembles Makoto's deceased mother - only appearing as a intangible looking ghost most of the time, though she does demonstrate the ability to take a more fleshed out form.

She is serene and rarely talks, often being difficult to converse with due to her preference for solitude and condemning towards her master who persists to engage with her despite having the same inclination at heart to want to be alone.

While she is not helpful, Shimensoka is prone to revealing details without meaning to such as hinting to Makoto that Shimensoka North and South are not made for offensive applications by admonishing her master for her violent demeanour and interest in only the offensive aspects of her power.

At the same time there is a mutual understanding although Shimensoka does not give ground and by proxy cannot be said to respect her master or feel that she is deserving of the full power which only pushes her away from Makoto.

» Zanpakutô Appearance: The sealed form of Makoto's zanpakuto takes the appearance of a wakizashi which she keeps sheathed behind her to be able to be drawn horizontally. It is adorned in a white sheathe with white cloth for its handle. Its tsuba is gold and a red rope tassel hangs from the end of the handle.

» Sealed Zanpakutô Power: Makoto is able to pull on some of Shimensoka's ability to draw in ambiet reishi and extends the length of her blade to that of a katana. It has the same downsides as the shikai though.



» Shikai Release Phrase: Scatter across the four winds and rejoin to reveal all of creation.

» Shikai Release Action: Her sword must be sheathed to activate shikai.

» Shikai Appearance:

» Shikai Ability: The shikai of Makoto involves the usage of Shimensoka to utilise techniques surrounding her constructs that she can manifest through the shikai as mediums to work through, while Makoto will often use this as "Shite [Four Hands]" it is not restricted to the manifestation of hands and rarely will she ever demonstrate anything different for the sake of concealing the true nature of her zanpakuto's scope.

Shimensoka's power is the power to manifest something four-fold. In quantity, not quality. Makoto could not use Shimensoka to amplify an attack by four-times its potency but it is feasible that her shikai could create up to four additional applications of the same attack, in addition when she manifests anything it is absolute that all projections will be exactly the same. She could not create two hands and two eyes for example, it would be up to four of either.

As another restriction, while she can create up to four (and doesn't need to have all four out at the same time) if there is something present which is generated by Shimensoka then it would need to be cast away before she can create anything new.

Notes
Any body part created is emulating her own, using her General skills.
Sensory organs can share information with Makoto as though they are additional sensory inputs, in the case of specifically sensitive body parts being manifested and damaged could be quite painful.

Shimensoka East appears to allow her to manifest up to four of a body parts for various uses.
Shimensoka West appears to involve the repeating or recasting something up to four times.
Shimensoka North is unknown.
Shimensoka South is unknown.

Shimensoka East: Shide [四手, Four Hands]: Makoto is able to manifest four hands that float behind her and can utilise them at will in a number of ways as long as she is wielding her zanpakuto. For example she can utilise them as additional limbs to benefit augment her hakuda, manifest them to try and catch or block an incoming attack, grab a target.

Shimensoka East: Shide [死手, Death Hands]: Using the ability which is a homophone of the previous one, she is able to detonate the hands when she no longer requires them with the power equvalent to that of a shakkaho. While it is specifically in regards to the hands which she prefers to utilise - this ability covers detonating any and all constructs that she might desire to make.

Shimensoka East: Shime [四目, Four Eyes]: The ability to conjure four eyes instead of four hands which allows for her to utilise them as additional view points. Makoto can have any of these four eyes manifested though they remain the size of a normal-sized eye, they gain no special advantages such as seeing invisible targets, heat signatures or anything fancy. They are perfect copies of her eyes, and will see what she is capable of seeing.

Shimensoka East: Shikuchi [四口, Four Mouths]: Manifesting four mouths allows for Makoto some freedom, for example she can utilise it to pass on a message from afar. Its primary usage is to allow for her to utter up to four kido incantations simultaneously. Similar to Shimsensoka West: Shijo Ichijin however, Shikuchi allows for four different kido to be cast rather than utilising the same one four times instantly - depending on her choice of kido spells and the incantation lengths it can make them have delays between being cast all at once.

Shimensoka West: Shijō Ichijin [四重一陣, Fourfold Spearhead] Using Shimensoka, Makoto is able to replicate an action by four-fold as long as the means are available without any requirement to reinitiate. Primarily used for kido however hypothetically, it can be applied to Hakuda due to being able to manifest additional limbs. By casting a kido and activating Shimemsoka's ability she can instantly cast three more which makes it a potent technique to overwhelm an opponent albeit draining on her reserves as all spells will be replicated with the same amount of spiritual energy that she used in the first one.

Shikai Weaknesses:
Release Nullification: She can't use shikai unless the sword is sheathed.
Shimensoka East: Due to creating reishi constructs, the constructions are able to be torn apart by a Quincy who has Reishi Absorption that is higher than her Zanjutsu which renders Shimensoka East as useless.

Bankai Weaknesses

Name: Benishidare (紅枝垂, Crimson Weeping Bough)

Appearance: Benshidare's appearance is a typical katana. It is contained within a red sheath.

Inner World & Manifestation:

Sealed Abilities: Benishidare has two factors in its sealed state, the initial one is the fact her blade is laced with a toxin that reduces the speed of those cut with the maxium effect being paralysis. It scales off tier. The second factor is that her handle is hollow and inside the blade produces liquid that replenishes her stamina or that of anyone that drinks it. It can take energy from opponent's when it cuts them an converts it to liquid to speed up the process.


Release Phrase: Bleed Through, Benishidare.

Appearance: The blade straightens and becomes blood red, the tsuba becomes an intricate flower petal design that crawls up the blade a few inches. It gains a long red ribbon that flows from the bottom of the hilt which wraps around her arm.

Power: Swinging of her blade causes pollen to scatter around the battlefield as a red mist, this is a permanently active effect so long as her zanpakuto is released and is critical to the success of all other facets of her release however it is a very delicate material, being suspectible to quite a lot of different counters such as being burnt away, waterlogged, blown away or simply smothered by high spiritual power.

Poisoned Mist (Passive): Due to the nature of her blade being poisoned of her zanpakuto the mist carries this effect, meaning all those who are not touching the ribbon of the zanpakuto are subject to the poison unless they develop a means to counter it.

Unnamed: The only technique that Makoto has been able to create given she only learnt her shikai a few months ago. The technique involves the pollen clinging to blades and sharp edges, ultimately it prevents weapons from cutting by covering their edge in the pollen to gain an edge on her opponents.
