• Name: Ibiki Sukia
• Titles: The Menacing Devil Girl, The Devil Shinigami, The Horned Beast
• Gender: Female
• Age: She is precisely 500 years old. Her birth date is July Seventh, 1913.
• Appearance Age: Ibiki appears to be 12-14 years old in terms of outward appearances.
• Nationality: Oriental
• Sexual Orientation: Straight.

• Affiliation/Rank: As of now, Ibiki is the Vice Captain of Squad 11 and doesn't see herself leaving this position anytime soon. She has a strong level of loyalty for this division and will crush anyone who dares to defy it.

• Residence: Currently, Ibiki lives within the barracks of Squad 11 and calls this place her home. However, when she gets bored, she is known to wander across other areas of the Seireitei, Soul Society and even travel to Earth if things get too stale within The Realm of Spirits. So in essence, she can appear virtually anywhere she pleases and sometimes disregards the law of the Gotei 13 so that she can otherwise fulfill her own needs at times.

Appearance Description

• Body Type: Ibiki proves that kickass things come in small packages. Standing at 5'1 and 90 pounds, Ibiki may not seem like much compared to the other men within Division 11, but you'd be dead wrong if you were to ever doubt her power and take this woman on in a fight. And, despite her rather small frame, Ibiki has quite the fit body as she is constantly doing all sorts of exercises, training programs and fighting her ass off to keep her body in top notch shape. Therefore, if one were to let Ibiki flex her muscles a bit, they'd probably even find they were harder, firmer and stronger then even most men in the internal structure of her body.

• Horns: This is one of Ibiki's major physical traits that sticks out like a sore thumb and thus give her the title "Demon Shinigami". You see, Ibiki has two horns sticking out of her head. They vary in color based on variables such as how much spiritual energy her body is radiating, the general mood of Ibiki and if she is using her powers. Though, for the most part, they fluctate between colors related to black, red and brown. Additionally, they'll also be typically seen with some sort of accessory attached. Rather it be chains, ribbons, bow's or whatever else has you; Ibiki seems to keep this stylized with her attire. And, as for why she has two horns on her head? This is because she had became heavily influenced by her Zanpukto Spirit. Upon learning her Shikai, Ibiki had noticed that she then had this attachment on her head as a gift from Oni Kyōsei. This was due to the fact that they possessed a special property to them that she stated would give Ibiki quite the hellish Shikai to deal with.

• Eyes and Hair: Ibiki's eyes and hairs are pretty prominent features in her overall looks. Firstly, Ibiki has amber iris with a black pupil; making her eyes typically stand out and go alongside her demonic nature. However, whenever her energy flares up, they can sometimes become illuminated and glow either dark orange or yellow in color. Changing gears to her hair, tt's also worth noting that Ibiki has very long hair that is brunette in color, but looks more darker shade of orange to anyone else. This is because her hair has taken on proprieties from her reaitsu and seems to have had a coating of orange to it after spending so much extended time in her Shikai to train. In any case, compared to the average person. She doesn't really bother to cut her hair often, if at all. Therefore, it has extended to the point where now reaches all the way to her ass if she doesn't keep it up with her bow ties or ribbons.

• Attire: For the most part, Ibiki prefers to have her wardrobe heavily coordinated. She has plenty of purple, white and orange outfits to go with her overall appearance. If she is forced to wear the typical Shinigami colors, then she typically just uses her spiritual energy to coat her outfits in their traditional black and white colors. After all, she may be mistaken for an entirely another race if she didn't anyway. Ibiki also has a somewhat conservative view on her most of her clothing as well. It is customary for her to typically wear long skirts in order to prevent much leg skin from showing, though she doesn't have a problem with wearing her sleeveless shirts. Moreover, to go along with her Zanpukto, Ibiki also seems to have all sorts of chains with attachments to other objects to sync with her sword. For instance, she sometimes can be seen with accessories attached to her chains that range from triangles, squares, cubes and so on.

• Reiatsu Color: For the most part, Ibiki's reaitsu color stays primarily between the colors of orange or dark yellow. This is because both Ibiki and her Zanputko Spirit agree that these are the colors of pure spirit, pure drive and total flare and energy. Therefore, they prefer bright colors to show their passion for fighting. However, if they ever enter a serious, critical or otherwise intense fight that draws out some emotion; it's not uncommon for this to change from orange/yellow to dark red or even jet black if she is angry enough. This is also the period she even seems to get a bit more fierce and stronger as she is a person that fights her best when emotions are pushed to their breaking point. Thus, if one ever sees this side of Ibiki, you'd better strap yourselves in for one hell of a ride as you'll be getting the full force of Ibiki's primal rage.

Personality:

• Upbeat: Ibiki seems to be the kind of person who has a never ending stream of positive energy surging from her body. Not much ever seems to bring the woman down; as she has a very resilient mind against most negative aspects of life. Whenever she is around a crowd of people, she is generally noted as being extremely friendly towards others and seems to have a very easy time boosting morale in those whom she considers her comrades in the Gotei 13. It's almost as if her nature, when she deems it fit, can spread like a wildfire and spark a blaze within the hearts and minds of those around her to otherwise get them on the same frequency of positivity as Ibiki is. It is why she is such a valued asset to the Gotei 13 to have in this time of crisis within the echelons of the Thirteen Court Squads.

• Challenge: Judging from her infamous title alone, Ibiki seems to be a person who thrives in the line of combat. Rather it's a one on one duel, or she is up against a horde of hollow's; Ibiki is always up to take on whatever challenge comes her way when it comes to the hell's of fighting. This is most likely due to her upbringing as she was subjected to nothing but all sorts of different marital arts, self defense methods and always taught to be on guard in the world in which she grew up with. With a very strengthened core seeded within the roots of her personality, this would eventually fester, grow and morph into something that would transform itself into a coping mechanism for the upbeat fighter. Rather then get anxious, scared or otherwise intimated when it comes to combat; Ibiki simply gets more and more excited to the point where her body feels like it otherwise would if she were satisfying other needs such as sex, hunger, thirst and other needs a person's body typically has. Endorphin's are one hell of a chemical, after all.

• Thrill Chaser: Although she won't go out of her way to put herself in any excessive danger that can otherwise backfire on those whom she is associated with or working, Ibiki does have a strong sense of chasing down anything that will otherwise bring her excitement and has no qualms with acting like a dare-devil from time to time. Say if there was a call to action in a war-torn city within the Soul Society; there were many sorts of demonic beast tearing apart the capital at hand and it was going to be an extremely dangerous time for all those who would happen to partake in this endeavor. Instead of getting terrified, concerned, worried or otherwise scared; Ibiki would actually feel the fans of excitement, thrill and burst of joys at the fact she would have an opportunity to overcome the ugly challenges that were associated with adversity in the lines of combat. For where there is a threat something can go wrong, there is a window at the end of it to otherwise lead to a stronger person; while the sojourner it takes to get there will be utterly amazing, mind-boggling and lead many good memories, stories and friendships to savor over long after the task is complete.

• Determined: From her strict discipline, tough upbringing and trials throughout her life; Ibiki has a strong sense of perseverance about her personality. Whenever she sets her mind to do something, she'll usually do anything within her power to obtain that goal...or die trying. For example, if she desired to train for some sort of new fighting styles, Ibiki would train day after day, night after night; until she would finally unlock whatever it is she desired through sweat, blood, tears and a whole lot of moxy to spare. Therefore, judging from this trait within her character, Ibiki is quite the tough cookie to try and break. Put her into any situation and she'll do her damn best to endure it, thrive in it and come out on top.

• Disciplined: Despite her external appearances, Ibiki is, for the most part, a very self-disciplined person. She understands that in order to obtain something, it will take perseverance, hard-work and the will to not give up. Therefore she has been diligent in most of her studies in the arts of combat, the mechanics of fighting and overall tries to be as best as she can in any subject she puts her mind to. It is why she had passed the Gotei Academy with flying colors, despite most in her peer group believing she'd barely pass based upon her drunken persona. This aspect of her personality also comes in handy when she is in combat as well. No matter what the odds may be against her, no matter how skewed the possible outcome may be; as long as Ibiki keeps a sane mind, endures whatever comes her way and puts her mind at ease, there will always be a chance for a positive result. Ergo, she has the potential to be one of the sanest minds within the depths of the Gotei 13; as even against the likes of Demon's on Earth, she could find Inner Peace in the eye of the storm and use her discipline to finish the task at hand no matter what.

• Relaxed: When Ibiki isn't fighting, bashing heads in, training or taking care of any other duties; Ibiki is typically seen just relaxing. Once all the work is done, at the end of the day she simply prefers to relax. This can be anything from laying about the sun, taking leisurely scrolls throughout different villages, taking long naps or just shooting the shit with other people. This aspect of her personality is actually pretty prevalent despite her disciplined nature. In her worldview, Ibiki prefers to have a very trained mind, but it does not mean she has to put on the facade of being serious 24/7 like others who have obtained similar powers, underwent similar training or had childhood's like hers. So, it's simply easier just to take it easy throughout the pathways of life and just let each day come as it is; for better or worse.

• Drunk: Ibiki is a woman who knows how to hold her liquor with the big dogs. After all, despite her small size, she's had nearly five hundred years in the Soul Society to improve her tolerance to booze. It started off as something to take the edge off upon first arriving in the Rukongai. For one to live in a place like that, specially in the lower numbered districts, a person needs some kind of release to keep them from bouncing off the walls. For Suika? This was hootch. Thus, during her early days as a drinker, alcohol was often a drug meant to calm Ibiki and keep her stable as she paved out a new life for herself through fierce training. Eventually, as time went on, it progressively transitioned from such a negative drug, into something meant to perk her mood up. Meaning that by the time she had entered the Thirteen Court Squads, there were many positive events occurring in her life to celebrate with booze. Transforming it from a crutch, into something just meant to kick back. Thus, Whenever she gets called into a social gathering in the Gotei 13? She can often be the life of the party once the alcohol gets into her system.

• Honest: As apart of her nature, Ibiki is a very genuine and honest person to the core. She rarely tells a lie unless it was otherwise for the overall good; and even then, it would be a white-lie at most. This is because she feels that deceiving people is otherwise uncomfortable with her set of personal values. Lies are nothing more then short-cuts when hard-work, discipline, willpower and training fail. Furthermore, in order for her to be true to herself, she must be true to the world around her. Therefore, you can always count on Ibiki to be the sort of person to never give you any reason to have doubt or otherwise question her faith, loyalty or opinion on whatever subject may come to mind. In her view, she would make one of the best comrades possible as she will always strive to be the most real person she can be at the time and never give the person sort of illusions or pitiful half-lies. In fact, if she is able to see through such deceptive acts in another person, she may go out of her way to shatter them and otherwise prove it pays to be true to yourself.

• Loyalty: This is a strong trait within Ibiki as she will remain faithful to whatever cause, ally or friend she happens to invest herself in. Never will she otherwise give someone a reason to mistrust them, betray them or shy away from an adverse difficulty when the going gets tough. Whatever she happens to commit herself, she is in it for the long-haul. An instance of this would be the immense amount of trust, comradery and ardor she has for her fellow squad mates within Squad 11's company. If they had marched into the pits of hell themselves, Ibki would ensure, that if she were fighting alongside her fellow soldiers, she'd make sure each and everyone person who is connected to her would make it home from the battlefield alive. Which ultimately results in the fact she would never leave her post, never lead her allies into an un-winnable battle and has everyone's best interest at heart whenever she puts her mind to a specific task; making Ibiki quite the loyal friend and comrade to have.

• Fairness, But To An Extent: Ibiki is a very honorable person at her core, and as such, she believes in having a fair fight against most of her opponents. If she feels that the odds are too heavily stacked against her opponent, then she will figure out a way to otherwise even the odds so that they both can have an enjoyable match. For instance, if she were having a sporting match against someone who clearly did not match her physical strength, Ibiki would do her best to hold back and fight on a level in which they both could enjoy a invigorating match-up. The same applies to most other aspects in her life such as competitions, training and other related task that otherwise pits her against different types of people. The only time this goes out the window, however, is generally if something is at stake. For instance, if the Gotei 13 were in a time of serious war, Ibiki would spare no expense to ensure that the walls of the Seireitei remain in-tact and would do everything in her power to otherwise terminate the threat at hand if they proved to be malicious in nature.

• Optimist: While she doesn't see herself as person so blinded by positivity that she throws logic, caution and rational thought to the wayside; Ibiki does try to avoid dwelling too much in the negative that otherwise surrounds life within the 25th century. By that fact alone, in other words, she prefers to try to see the good in most circumstances that she happens to find herself in. For instance, if she had happened to find herself in a circumstance where her enemy had some sort of positive motivation, such as a family member being ill and attempting to protect him, she may sympathize and attempt to see the good in that person while doing their battle. A different instance of this optimist based personality trait is that if she and her squad mates are within a bleed situation within the Gotei 13, such as fighting off against an unforetold amount of Arrancar's, Demon's and Hollow's at once; she wouldn't get too discouraged by it. In fact, she would encourage all those around her to raise their spirits in order to otherwise produce the needed willpower to overcome the odds. This was instilled in her at a young age to generally look towards the brighter side of life, as nothing good will be gained by simply dwelling in the dark. Only regression, weakness and doubt are to be gained by letting these notions consume you like an ocean madness.

Infact, she may even go out of her way to save people in some instances when she is able to detect that they've let themselves become devoured by such bleak thoughts. Far too many times has she seen people succumb to depression, despair and depravity that is all too wide-spread in the world these days. If she can lend a helping hand, be the light that shines in the abyss and offer a way out of the pit of oblivion for someone too far gone; Ibiki would more then love to do that sort of favor for someone if it would steer them down the path of an enlightened self, an improved life and the shattering of their concrete walls in which the negativity had once constricted, binded and held them in shackles in previously. So, it goes without saying this most likely a very passionate trait within her core and one her opponents can sometimes even pick up on from how she carries herself. Always laughing, giggling, making conversation and pleasantries with most people she meets. Acting like a friend to all, and an enemy to none...unless you provoke her, at least.

• Pride: There is a strong sense of pride that is felt within the embodiment of Ibiki Suika. Although it is not one that is often verbally spoken, she feels it within every fiber of her being because she is proud of the accomplishments she has achieved in her life. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having that sense of dignity about oneself as it's a part of a healthy attitude. It is why she feels self-satisfaction in seeing the growth of her Tribe, the development of the Gotei, the strength of her division and just how her mental and physical might has came as a Shinigami.

• New Sternness: The stress does certainly seem to be taking it's toll on her. With all the deaths, destruction, wars, battles, lack of resolve and changes in the Gotei and Soul Society; Ibiki has, off and on, taken up a more stern persona. This is in relationship with the aspect of her Kenpachi title and Suika blood. Since these are hard times, this isn't the time for gentleness she feels. Thus, The Devil Shinigami believes that right now she needs to be strong, resolved and like a burning supernova in order to face off against the savages that are the Gotei Reformed's enemies.

However, this is not something that is constant in her persona. If she is able to find things that relax her, moments where her blood is overjoyed or people who can make her smile; this new stress seems to ease and she reverts back to her typical optimistic self. One such example is if she is able to find a battle where she can become excited, enthralled and totally lost in the sense of battle as her war lust overwhelms her. It's hard for her not to grin, laugh and get into it if she is able to find someone to pull that stiffness from her being out in the form of a high-energy clash It is also possible to take this sternness away by viewing those within the Gotei and Soul Society beginning to get along, stand together and be united as a family. Since that would mean that her work is paying off and there would not be a need to be so stern and harsh.

With that said, despite appearances, the positivity within Ibiki's being had never really left to begin with. This determined optimism merely became jaded, cold and more rigid in order to better support Ibiki in this new phase of her life. When the day comes that the Soul Society becomes at least half the self it used to be, Ibiki will see no need for this coldness within her spirit. However, until then, she is getting used to this new savagery boiling within herself.

• Grief: There is a great sense of grief felt within the heart of Ibiki. This mainly stems from the fact that she believes (as of this writing) that the glory days of The Gotei are behind them. Now, while that does not mean she does not believe they cannot come back, it is a rather hard thing to bare on her chest. It's painful to recall the nostalgic moments that string around within her mind when it comes to remembering how full of life the Gotei once was. They never had a shortage of Captains, Vice Captains and full squads. Everyone had their role and it felt as if they were strong, had pride and were unified and were a force to be trifled with.

With how The Gotei is now, though, all of this is gone and barren. Replaced is an aimless faction with no set leader, no unified people, and a weakened core. It is why this grief is transforming her willpower, changing her and making Ibiki want to fight against the grimness of the reality around her. Even if it is something that is futile, the inner determination of The Kenpachi wants to clash against it until her mind, body and spirit can no longer continue the battle. If at the end she fails, Ibiki feels that at least she tried to recapture those glory days and could die with relief oozing down her mighty soul.

• Leadership: Based on the fact that the Gotei is a tight bind for the time being, Ibiki has felt more of an urge to want to lead her people to a greater tomorrow. It is why she is taken up the mantle of wanting to train those within the Gotei Reformed, pull out the potential of others and bring the might and pride of the faction back to them. She believes in her strength, she believes in the Soul Society and she believes in the Shinigami race as a whole. If no one else is willing to be the anchor her people needs, then Ibiki is more than ready to be that person if no other place will step up to the plate

History/Background:

The Beginning Of Life

The life of Ibiki Suika had began within the Soul Society oh so many years ago. Within a small village within the Rukongai, the not-so-menacing devil girl had been born into a family of skilled brawlers. It consisted of a mother, a father and their combined extended families known as the Suika Tribe. Banding together out need to survive inside of the more brutal parts of Rukongai, all of the members within this family had trained since a young age in order to ensure a stable life for them while they lived inside of the walls which were the lower districts of the Soul Society. Primarily, the greatest feat of this tribe was the fact that their physical strength, hand-to-hand and agility were widely known. Adding to that, most family members within the Suika Tribe had even been known to be quite...beastly in their appearance. A large majority of it's people were noted as having horns sticking from the top of their heads, claws sharp enough to pierce through solid rock with ease, fangs fiercer and harder then even some Zanpakutō and all-in-all they were a pack of rabid savages...but only when they needed to be.

This is because when most people who inhabited the Rukongai happened to pride themselves on being utter murders 24/7, the Suika Tribe valued strength, but not at the cost of losing their humanity. Which, considering their outward appearances, seemed quite the opposite; making it very ironic in a sense. Most elders within the tribe had considered it to be a necessary tool to otherwise repel the threats of violence against them; basing themselves on a strong reputation for strength when pushed by other smaller factions within the lower Rukon Districts. Meanwhile, when behind closed doors, they generally treated their own kind very warmly, kindly and gently to hopefully instill a balanced set of values within their core to produce up-standing Shinigami. Ibiki would be no expectation to these rules, of course.

After enough time had surpassed, by the time that she was roughly three years old, the tribe had began teaching Ibiki the needed tools to build a solid life for herself. So, alongside learning how to walk and talk, Miss Suika was taught how to smash and bash as well. They did not expect a major growth at such a young age, no, it would be absurd to. Instead, they taught Ibiki how to fight with her fist instead. Day in, day out; many training sessions consisted of battling against the other tribe members children, teaching her many methods to disarm weapon based opponents and constantly reminding her to always give it her all when in the hells of combat. Understanding, at such a young age, that the expectations of her family were very large; Ibiki more then welcomed the challenge and exceeded with her hand-to-hand skills as the year progressed even more.

By the time she was six years old, Miss Suika had enough experience in the art of her fist to bring grown men falling to their knees. However, it was not only her fighting skills that were amplified during this time either. In these very crucial formative years, each of Ibiki's parents pressed the importance of willpower, the drive to survive and the need to have discipline. Picking up strongly on these traits as she grew older, Ibiki decided to apply this within many different aspects of her life. For instance, she knew that in order to become stronger, she was going to have to grow her mind as well. So, through the connections elder members within the Suika Clan had, Ibiki had been given all sorts of material related to the physiology of Shinigami, the art of Hakuda, history of the Soul Society and other related goods that would otherwise ensure she'd grow into a more then capable of adult when the time for her to become a full-fledged Shinigami would come.

A different example of how she had grown during this time was the fact, that even when she had suffered many loses, Ibiki had vowed to use them in order to make her stronger. Through each mistake, from each defeat and from the constant surge of resolve to transform into a better person; she came back harder and harder after each time she was knocked down in order to eventually achieve the goal she had desired. Many who had happened to be her training partners were even known as saying Miss Ibiki possessed great talent at such a young age to be able to come to a point of internal thinking that most adults even take dozens, if not, hundreds of years in order to achieve. Which means, that as parents, Suika's guardians had done their job quite well to raise a very outstanding Suika member. Ergo, by the time she had hit the age of ten, she was finally ready to partake in the families many brutal clashes that occured within the Rukongai to get a taste of real life or death battle.

For many decades following this point, The Suika 'Gal had began to sharpen her instincts to thrive within a hostile environment. There were times where she thrilled in the joy of achieving great victories, other times where she had suffered great defeat and even grave injury in some cases. Yet, through all of these thrashing encounters, the power within the Menacing Devil Girl had only served to grow stronger from each battle she engaged in. Meaning, that by the time she had reached the ripe age of 30, she had enough spiritual power to otherwise take out most seated members within the Gotei 13. This was shown when she had even challenged a cocky Shinigami whom had looked down on the Suika Tribe when he had once lived within the same lands as them. Wanting revenge, he had started an out lash against the family, but Ibiki was there to otherwise put a stop to his plans. After engaging in a three minute battle, she was able to quickly subdue the perpetrator and proved her worth as a warrior by knocking him clear out of conscious and taking his mangled body back into the Thirteen Court Squads for them to pick up. Luckily, in this incident, they were well enough of the ties between the feuding families and were aware he acted as a renegade as such; so he was promptly punished.

From the fallout regarding that incident, the clan gained an enormous reputation boost. This was when many eyes were on Ibiki within the family and outside. Though, she didn't seem to mind much. Instead, she was very greatly for all the hardships she had endured until this point to otherwise birth the fruit of such wonderful skills. Each of her parents seemed to be in agreement with Suika's sentiments as well. Which is why, when she was around sixty years old, she had progressed further enough through her trials to be eligible to possibly forge her own Zanpukato. This was because her spiritual energy had grown so vastly over the many decades, she was now at a point of creating a Zanpakutō. Furthermore, based on the fact Ibiki had been born into Shinigamihood, through many deep and secluded sessions, her body had eventually produced a sealed Zanpukato over the course of the next year to otherwise get her at the level of strength she needed to be to learn the origins of her Zan.

It was then at this point where she had reached further enough within herself to, at long last, pull out the name of Zan Spirit. By falling into a deep meditative trance one evening, Ibiki's mind had been pulled into the depths of her soul. She remembered seeing many vivid lands, wide open skies and a strange silhouette of a woman grinning at her. With a bellows laugh, the female had boldly stated that Suika had done quite well for herself to reach the point of discovering her name. Therefore, the treat of entering this far into her training would be the access of her name. In a loud, roaring voice she had proudly proclaimed that the name of Ibiki's Zan would be: "ONI-KYOSEI". After that, everything cut to black and the image of Oni-Kyosei could be seen within Ibiki's mind as clear as day. And, with a single internal punch, Ibiki had been jolted back into her primary conscious to find that her head had grown...one horn to the right. Obviously, whatever she had set out to do had been successful and this must have been a bodily reaction to at long last having a name for her weapon.

For, when Ibiki came to, she had noticed she felt ten times stronger then before. The volume of spiritual energy was quite dense, even considering herself powerful enough to take on the likes of a Vice Captain at the time. Meaning, that when she had returned to the Suika Tribe, she had done her family quite proud to achieve this impressive feat. Finally, after many years, her handwork was beginning to show some tangible results and Ibiki was getting closer and closer towards her goal of becoming...a stronger person. So, to keep the train moving and accelerate faster to otherwise obtain this bold ambition, she had decided it was nearing time for her to take it up to the next level. To find stronger opponents, embark on greater challenger and face further adversity; Ibiki decided it was time to join the ranks of the Gotei 13 to develop ways to push herself to the maximum extent of her abilities and to have them floruish in the wake of this stress.

Thus, with these thoughts brought to the attention of all those who were within the Suika Clan, each of them came to a mutual agreement that if Ibiki believed this would best serve to improve herself even further then the level she was at that time, then they had no qualms with her venturing off into the Gotei 13 to otherwise prove herself to those whipper snappers in the Thirteen Court Squads. After all, to them, it wouldn't hurt to keep pressing the name of their tribe further and further into the minds of the Soul Society by having one of their own overtake the Gotei 13. So, after making a few final goodbyes to key allies, friends and family alike; Ibiki would venture forth into the walls of the Seireitei to join among the ranks of those within the Shinigami Academy to become a full Shinigami. She had no clue where this venture would take her, but she had envisioned so deeply in her mind, that on the other side, a better Ibiki would wait. Taking these bold, overwhelming and extremely optimistic thoughts in mind; the time to unlock her true self had came....

Training Arc/Learning Zan

The early days of Ibiki's entrance into the Shinigami Academy were actually quite remarkable. Being that she was already a very skilled fight by the time she had entered into these doors, Ibiki got blazing marks on most of her tests. From flash step, to hand-to-hand, to spiritual energy and everything else that pertains to being an official Representative of the Gotei 13 as a highly trained Shinigami; Miss Suika was simply smoking pass everyone based on the trials she had endured throughout most of her life; compounded with the immense resolve, willpower and strength of her mental fortitude to otherwise excel her even further beyond that. In fact, she had performed so well that she was able to graduate early and enter into a division of her choosing after a few short months. Being that she wanted to continue in the trials of direct combat, Ibiki figured that it was the most sane choice to join the ranks of the Division 11 Company to otherwise test herself even further then she had been up until this point.

So, with the assignment of a few papers, The Suika Girl had been instated as a full Division 11 member. It was quite the proud day for her to be accepted into these ranks; as most of the work she had spent in the Shinigami Academy had finally paid off. However, there was still something much deeper that needed to be resolved, and that was the subject of Oni-Kyosei. Thus, when most of the active duties she was pursing in her life had began to ease, Ibiki had decided it was finally time to tackle the issue of obtaining a Shikai and forcing Oni-Kyosei to accept her as one of her own. Travelling far into the landed of the Soul Society, Miss Suika discovered a tranquil and quiet spot,. filled to the brim with wide open spaces for her to safely embark on the journey to obtaining a higher sense of self by finally fighting alongside the likes of her Zanpkauto Spirit. She wasn't sure how all of this was going to go down, but she knew at the end of that day, a shikai release would be hers.

And so, in a flash of blinding white light, Ibiki was transported into the land of fantasy which was her inner world. Appearing in a strange open-field, she had saw a beastly looking woman awaiting her with a huge grin across her face. Horn sticking out of her head, lengthly blonde hair flowing in the wind, red eyes that could pierce straight into your soul, the height of a amazonian and the muscle mass of a ripped female bodybuilder; it was clear, that whoever Oni-Kyosei truly was, she was going to be one hell of a person to get to know. Not being freighted in the slightest in the wake of this new challenge, Miss Suika seemed to be truly excited to get to know whoever her Zanpkauto Spirit. For better, for worse; the time was finally drawing closer to get this ascension of power underway as they had traveled towards the center of the land. After a bit of dialogue exchange between them, it was clear that Oni-Kyosei was ot going to allow the use of her power unless Ibiki could prove her worth in the form of a fight.

If she lost this immense battle for the very progression of her soul, she could forget about ever achieving a Shikai ever. The only two options she had was to tie out with Oni-Kyosei, or overcome her brutal strength and defeat her. As she stated, that if either of these two events had occurred, the energy within Miss Suika would amplify to a point where, with Oni-Kyosei's command, a Shikai would be instilled into the very core of her body and she could gain her second horn at that as a symbolization of Oni-Kyosei actively working to fight alongside her; turning her into a REAL Menaicing Devil for all of the Gotei 13 and others alike to beware of it. Completely ok with the terms and conditions of this showdown, Ibiki swiftly accepted her challenge. Stating that it was going to be a pleasure to do battle against the reflection of herself; awaiting to see all of the wondrous power, energy, might, strength and force that had accumulated for so long inside of her from all of the many years of pushing herself and being embodied into the form of Oni-Kyosei.

Both seeming eager, willing and ready to engage the other in combat; the battle for Shikai had begun within Ibiki. Blow after blow, yell after yell, hit after after; things would soon begin to be reduced to mere rubble within the depths of their battle range. They were both going at it with everything they had; smashing each other to bits time and time again to prove to one another that they could stand side-by-side. This went on for nearly a half day before it had reached a climaxing point, never before had The Suika Tribe Member faced such a challenging advisory, but she stated she couldn't expect anything less from something that was generated from within herself. However, despite all of that, she wasn't goign to allow it to overcome her. One way or another, Ibiki was determined to get this damned spirit to acknowledge her, to trust her and to lend each of them the helping hand they needed to make it through the darkness, pass the trials of hell and develop a stronger inner-self to ascend to a higher level of enlightenment.

The battle beginning to reach it's critical tipping point, it was clear each of them were on the brink of exhaustion, but each of these fighters knew that it would only serve to push the edge of their abilities further and further as they kept going at it like madmen. It ultimately resulted in the fact, that in order for either of them to reach a conclusion, they were going to have to go all out in one final attack. So, as they each took their respective corners, each of these brutal beast had gathered all of the spiritual energy could, summoned all the spiritual energy they could possible generate at one time and called upon the most fierce willpower they could unleash into the world around them; ready to damage their very essence and bodies to prove a point to the other fight. Making their bonds in the form of a closed fist, each of them wildly charged at the other with everything they had. And, in one final flash of blinding light, overbearing screams and extreme sense of fierceness; each of them had been clearly knocked int oblivion; forcing ONi-Kyosei into unconscious first, and Ibiki swiftly following it....the tie was made.

Instantly being ejected from the pits of soul and back into the material plane, Ibiki let out a strong gasps of breath as an explosion of spiritual energy had flattened the area. Shaking her head as she started to come to, she soon realize that what Oni-Kyosei had said, in fact, became very true. Touching the top of her head, she would discover that the second horn mentioned earlier within her fight had been created; signaling that Miss Suika had more then likely achieve Bankai. Based on the extreme amounts of spiritual energy being output by Ibiki's body, she had even realized, that by the time she had regained conscious, her body was actually in Shikai already. Noticing her muscles were slightly larger, a swirling purple mass of energy had consumed her and even the insides of her body were twisting around; Ibiki realized she had made the jump to a Shikai Release at long lash. As the words "SMASH 'EM UP, ONI-KYOSEI" belled into the mind of Ibiki, Oni-Kyosei could be heard congratulate Ibiki and calling her a worthy owner of her Zanpkauto.

With her earning the stripes she needed to otherwise gain Oni-Kyosei best wishes, they would spend the next week honing her skills until she had learned the basic functions of her Shikai. Resolve Force was the power in which she could stimulate change within herself, around herself and push herself further through the usage of her willpower becoming a tangible force. It was quite the amazing discovery, and she was eternally grateful towards Oni-Kyosei for taking the time out of her day to teach her these moves. It was not much of a big deal to her, though, as rarely did she find anyone who could put up quite the fight that Ibiki had performed during their exhibition match. She was just glad that her owner didn't turn out to be some weak chump and that she had a respectable partner to fight alongside, share her power and otherwise forge a bond. Ultimately making all of their combined powers, abilities and attributes that much stronger by the time she had returned back into the barracks of the Division 11 Company; a bolder, better and more advanced version of herself.

When she had returned to the barracks of her native company, Even from the outward looks from those who were apart of Ibiki's Squad, most people could tell, that after reaching that point of obtaining her Shikai, she seemed even more...youthful then before. Her fights ended more swiftly, her attitude amplified in the level of positivity it generated and all in all she was beginning to make a name for herself as a honorable member of the Squad 11 Company. Through each battle that occurred over the duration of the next decades, Ibiki's might was pushed further and further. Her Shikai had gotten stronger, her physical strength had turned into a berserk and sh was turning into a true incarnation of what the Division 11 Squad was all about. Ripping hollow's apart with her barehands, leaving no remains of any target that dared to trifle with the Gotei 13 and even commanding the brief acknowledgement from Kenpachi Zarkai himself that she would be a worthy foe to play around with one of these days. Meaning, that at this point, Ibiki was on top of her game and things could only go further upwards from here as she progressed more and more within her inner self, got to know the likes of Zanpauto even more through the many trials she had endured over the years and awakened at the end of her rainbow a stronger Ibiki Suika.

Gathering Bankai

As more of the years had rolled passed by Ibiki, she began to become a very rooted member within the Squad 11 Division. Joining in many large-scale battles throughout the years, fighting alongside Captains in The War Against Ender, par-taking in brawls against the like of K-World in The Battle For The Soul King and maintain a sense of order within the world; it seemed most of these sorts of altercations have served as Plato's for Miss Suika to overcome in order to constantly move forward towards a higher, better and improved self. However, there was something beginning to daunt her at this point and time....Bankai. While most of the attributes related to her abilities had grown quite tremendously over the time she was enlisted in the Gotei 13, going on to even rival those who already had a Bankai, Ibiki and Oni-Kyosei both believed that if they had achieved a bankai, they may be able to take things one step further then they already were with their extreme potential on the battlefield.

Ergo, in a similar fashion as to when Suika's Bankai was achieved, Ibiki had traveled to a deserted land to safely come to the conclusion of finally obtaining a Bankai. Phasing out into a deep meditative state, based on the fact that she was already more then capable of summoning her Zanpkatuo Spirit into the material realm with her pure will alone while within Shikai, the first step that was put towards birthing The Menacing Devil Girl's Bankai would be the release of her Shikai form. Following that, it was only but a mere trial of a communication and sync among Ibiki and Oni-Kyosei's thoughts, heart, mind and energy to otherwise bring about this ascended state to the surface. Seeing how, among the two of them, they possessed enough energy to otherwise produce a Bankai-Level'd state while in her current stage of power, there had been a trigger switch of sorts that allowed for the dawning of a Bankai to be made real when they had focused very greatly, with an extreme amount of willpower generating from each of them, to forge a Bankai with them after many days of immense self-seclusion and deep self-internalization.

When this transition of strength occurred in the depths of Ibiki, she could feel everything within herself tightening to mend herself into a stronger being. The fortitude of mind had become dramatically boosted to produce a better level of willpower then previously before, the body had been augmented to the point of becoming a complete and utter berserker in order to deal with greater threats, energy outputs were massive enough to even put most types of Rookie and Seasoned Captains to same and it was all coming to a full circle of Suika breaking the barriers which otherwise prevented her ascending towards her Bankai type. For, this was quite the triumphant victory in the name of progress for Oni-Kyosei and Ibki alike. Though, the battle was still not over yet. Over the following days, weeks and years the two of them had actually returned to this strange feels to discover the powers, abilities and limits of Ibiki's Bankai better.

As the years zoomed by, and the training intensified, Miss Suika grasped a strong understanding of the mechanics, traits and abilities of her Bankai work; serving only to make her even tougher then before. These were made possible by the fact that while within her Shikai, she held the capacity to summon her Zanpakutō Spirit into the physical realm to fight alongside her. Instead of using this ability to brawl against a worthy opponent, Ibiki had used to fight herself. Having countless sparring matches between her and Oni-Kyosei to force the other into unleashing hidden attributes time after time to unlock the secrets of her power; while serving as many lessons for them to keep their mental resilience up to par, as many of these sessions had required quite the immense level of physiological endurance. This is because quite a few of these fights had even lasted for entire weeks before they came to a satisfying conclusion for two of them.

Thus, through this extreme combat training each of them partook in, Ibiki's Bankai and Zanpkauto had received an intense amount build-up to otherwise boost her up to the level that had even made other Captains near her level weary when she had came to the battlefield. For, it was at this point where her spiritual reserves had became truly overwhelming to be around and had polished herself to be quite the weapon for the Gotei 13 to possess within it's ranks. As, more often then not, whenever Ibiki unleashed her Bankai, within secrecy, most battles were abruptly put to an end due to it's overwhelming capacities. Entire hordes of monsters, Demon's, Arrancar, Hollow and enemy combats were wiped out within single strikes from Miss Suika's abilities while in her ascended state. It was enough to even make her a prime target of those wanting to test their battles back in the Soul Society; constantly smashing through people wishing to test their strengths against Ibiki.

So, it goes without saying that once she had obtained this piece of the puzzle towards unlocking her higher-self, The Menacing Devil Girl was beginning to be noticed by most of those around her. However, instead of taking it in a negative fashion, she simply viewed it as a chance to train others to unleash the true potential that lays dormant through them and serves a test to otherwise endure her mental functions to make them stronger in the light of all of these new challenges, opponents and trials she was going to face from her power attracting all of these spirits towards her direction. Sure, some days it could get overwhelming for her, but it was n nothing that she couldn't quite handle or nothing she hasn't faced before. It just came with the terrority and she was going to take it in stride. Slamming her division members into hardcore training sessions, giving motivational speeches to those within her barracks and constantly trying to make strong bonds between the people she would be fighting alongside to improve morale within Division 11.

Where She is Today

It's hard to believe it, but Miss Suika has truly made a name for herself after all of the years that have passed for her which endured many hardships. For, as of now, Ibiki is gainfully employed as the Squad 11 Vice-Captain. Sometime following the new appointment as Mitsurugi Kenpachi, Ibiki was shortly instated as his Lieutenant to otherwise fill the place for Kenpachi Zarkai and Yachiru's disappearance from their positions to otherwise ensure that Gotei 13 be in a stable sense of protection should an all out war breakout from all of the emerging threats from Earth invading into the Soul Society at this present time. Having no regrets, no doubts and no time for second thoughts about the proposal the Thirteen Court Squads gave her; Ibiki swiftly accepted their generous offer to place her into this position. With this rise to Vice-Captainhood, many new doors would be unlocked for the likes of The Menacing Devil Girl and her Loyal Zanpkauto. Many new challenges are waiting to be found, many new bonds are waiting to be forged and a plethora of obstacles are all awaiting in the shadow's around her as she continues to proceed down her life's path of progression.

• Zanpakutô Spirit Name: Oni Kyōsei!

Zanpakutô Spirit Appearance

• Hair & Eyes: Oni Kyosei's hair and eyes is one of the prominent features about her physical appearance. It is extremely long in it's length, reaching well past her lower back and extending downwards towards her thighs. Though, it doesn't seem to get much in the way as she doesn't pay much mind to it and has't bothered to cut it in years. In addition to that, it appears to be blonde in color; contrasting Ibiki's hair to an extent. Furthermore, when it comes to the subject of her eyes, they seem to coordinate well with the rest of her outward looks. Each of her eyes appear to be crimson red in color and stick out boldly whenever she is angered; making them quite the striking aspect of her appearance.

• Striking Horn: This is the most bizarre trait in Oni-Kyosei's physical manifestation. In the middle of her forehead is a horn that appears to be red in color and has a golden star on the side of it. The purpose of this horn is not quite clear, but it most likely has something to do with the development of horns sprouting from Ibiki's own head when she had obtained her Shinigami powers. They also seem to be very potent as a striking weapon; as Oni-Kyosei has stated she could even tear through the walls of the Seireitei with it if she had gotten determined enough.

Pointed Ears: This is yet another peculiar trait in Oni-Kyosei's appearance that is rather noticeable. If one were to pay more attention to her, they could easily see that she had elf-like ears spouting from the ends of her head. As apart of her demonic aura, she always figured it fit right in with how she looked. Furthermore, Oni-Kyosei has stated that these ears assist her in hearing many great distances. As it's very possible for her to hear a pin-drop even so much as twenty miles downward. So they are highly sensitive, but she can easily tune-them out when she is in places similar to cities to prevent an overload or something like that. All in all, at least they serve some use to her and aren't just for show.

• Muscular Body: Despite being female in her gender, and having quite the large bosom to boot, Oni-Kyosei actually has a body that could put most males to shame. She stands at roughly six foot four; towering over most males right out of the gate. On top of that, she has a very muscular structure to her body-type. Due to her training extensively for so many hundreds of years, Oni Kyosei's body has adapted itself to have a six-pack, bulging veins when she exerts physical might and overall gives her a very protected bodily structure when it comes to dealing with the elements. Oni Kyosei can take a punch, and she can deal it right back at you with far more intensity. You may even take further damage from the iron red nails that extend from Oni-Kyosei from time to time as apart of her demonic nature.

• Attire: Oni-Kyosei is constantly wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt that seems to have red trims near the cuffs, neck and bottoms of her torso. Accompanying this is a dark blue, semi-transparent skirt with the same red highlights and trim across the entirety of it. Each of her wrists and ankles also appear to be fettered by short, broken chains that are fused together into the manacles. Lastly, she seems to wear a pair of brown sandles; turning out to be very casual in her appearance as a Zanpaukto Spirit and constantly sporting a small dish of sake in most of her outings when Ibiki summons her or if she goes into her inner world.

Oni Kyosei's Personality

Drunkard: The only being in existence, in Ibiki's mind, who can possibly out drink her is Oni-Kyosei. This is a strong personality within her because at almost every waking moment, outside of combat, Oni-Kyosei can generally be seen having a plate of sake at her side as she drinks herself into a cold oblivion. To enjoy life, is to enjoy a nice cold glass of alcohol in Oni-Kyosei's view. It's why one of the most pleasurable ways to bond with her, outside of giving her a good fight or being strong in general, is to have a cup of booze of with the Amazonian. For if one is able to share this drunken merriment with Oni-Kyosei, then one may also be good enough to be called a comrade, ally or friend. Which means, in the polar opposite direction, a good way to get on Oni-Kyosei is to generally turn down her offerings of fine booze when she offers it. As she doesn't like prudes much, and she especially doesn't' take too kindly to people who think little of people partake in excessive amount of drinking. In fact, she may be prone to getting violent at times whenever she gets too drunk and take on anything that moves!

Brash: Oni-Kyosei is very upfront in her dialogue with people. She will say whatever she wants, however she wants, whenever she wants. If you look like a freak, Oni-Kyosei will make you well of this. If you are starting to piss her off? Well, prepare yourself for a long chain of obscenities to be aimed at your person. She is the sort of person to never take much shit from other people, and dares anyone to otherwise tell her so. So be careful when dealing with Oni-Kyosei when it comes to this aspect of her personality. As the more she tends to bring this vulgar side of her out, the more violent, angry and hostile she tends to get. And, when it comes to her overall power set, this can actually factor into her becoming more powerful in her striking blows in regards to her physical strength. Making this trait in Oni-Kyosei's personality something to not easily brash aside. One false comment, one wrong move; BAM! You are out of there, your dick will be knocked in the dick and The Violent Maiden won't think two ways about it.

Prideful: While she doesn't mock, brag or otherwise does anything to signal she likes talking about her power; Oni-Kyosei is very proud of her abilities. Why is that? This is because, alongside Ibiki, Oni-Kyosei has spent many years perfecting her physical skills, abilities and other powers in order to bring them to the fearsome level in which they stand now. A strength so awesome that even those within the depths of Squad 11 heed warning to The Menacing Oni. So, this is not out of the fact that she believes she is somehow superior or better to others, rather, she is very proud of the work it took to reach this will point and never seems to doubt her skills; even when she is faced against the toughest of opponents that have enough power at their disposal to otherwise outclass or outmatch Oni-Kyosei. She will blindly, bravely and boldly walk down the fiery path of battle with her heart, mind and soul set on constantly striving to improve her power so she can face herself in the mirror each and every morning that passes; no matter what.

Values Strength: Based upon her very violent nature, it's obvious that Oni-Kyosei would respect or admire anyone with some kind of strength. She does not take the words of someone who isn't capable of dealing her damage seriously, for instance. If you can't fight on even or superior footing then Oni-Kyosei, then she will walk all over you. Plain and simple. However, if you can prove to her that you are worth her time, then there is no doubt she will welcome you with open arms and consider you someone respectable. It's why Ibiki herself had a difficult time attempting to tame her Zanpakutō spirit when she had started down the journey of learning it's name and origins. There was even the doubt in Ibiki's mind that if her mind ever wavered, there is a strong chance that Oni-Kyosei herself wouldn't lend her power to such a weakling if she had skimped on her training or otherwise loosened the gap between the powers of herself and Oni-Kyosei. This is how strong that trait within this Zanpakutō Spirit runs.

Build 'Em Up: While Oni-Kyosei may be a very livid person, she isn't without her constructive sides. On a very real conscious based level, she understands that people won't change unless you enact change within them. Therefore, whenever she meets someone who she deems is weak, but manageable; Oni-Kyosei may very well try to build them up. This can be in the form of help them improved their body by adding muscle mass to it, forcing them out of their shell personality wise, throwing them in the hells of combat to build up their combat experience and overall try to toughen them up so that they can be a respectable person in her point of view. Thus, when she chooses to be, from this personality within Oni-Kyosei, The Brutal Fighter can choose to be a heck of a coach to people when she deems it fit. She's even been known to occasionally give assistance to an opponent against Ibiki if she believes that their fighting is just pitiful and they need to buck up in order to stand a decent chance against her power.

Ruckus Causer: If it's anything that Oni-Kyosei loves, it's mischief. She always loves to cause or be apart of something that causes a ruckus somewhere. For instance, if there was a chaotic event taking place within the Soul Society; such as some Mad-Scientist freak experiment causing all sorts of havoc on the Thirteen Court Squads, Oni-Kyosei would love to be apart of such a mad event. This is because there is a chance to explore the lands, have some decent adventure and get the blood pumping by partaking in these exciting circumstances that life happens to throw down her way. In essence, anything that is occurring that has some serious implications of life or death attached it is fair game for Oni-Kyosei; as boredom is the one thing she loathes and hopes to always avoid no matter what the cost may be. However, this aspect of her personality can sometimes lead her to getting into trouble if she gets too idle or bored; deciding to often cause some trouble for herself. An example of this would be if she had gotten too fed up with how slow things were within her Inner World. Should it come to pass that she is no longer satisfied with the flow of her life, she may very well materialize outside of Ibiki and begin to randomly brawl against random opponents until she had otherwise cured her boredom by finding a worthy opponent, causing some damage in the area and creating a vast shitstorm in other words.

Confident: This is yet another key aspect that belongs to Oni-Kyosei personality. Never does she have much fear within herself because she feels too bold, secure and overall assured in her state of being. This is different from the pride, as in that aspect of herself, she admires everything that it took to get to the level of strength in which she is now. INSTEAD, with her positive sense of self, Oni-Kyosei simply cannot for the life of her succumb much to cowardice, second thoughts, doubt or anything that could be considered uncertain. It's as if she feels at times, when she is blinded by this extreme fearlessness, that nothing bad can ever happen to her. That she is truly invisible, that she has the ability to keep pressing forward no matter what happens to her or Ibiki. It nearly reaches a point of delusion if she doesn't smack herself out of it, or Ibiki bashes these walls of insanity from within the depths of Oni-Kyosei to otherwise bring her back to a more sane plane of thinking once again.

Bond: There is something about Ibiki that definitely gives Oni-Kyosei a sense of great purpose and admiration when they are together. She can't quite put it on the tip of her finger, but she knows there is a strong sense of comradery between the two after their lengthy history. After all of the years spent building herself up, all of the years meant towards making the two of them stronger and all of the years Ibiki spent trying to prove her worth; Oni-Kyosei finally considers her to be someone worthy of being akin to her own family. Due to the fact that she was birthed within the pits of Suika's soul, she never had a real family to begin with. So through all of the trails, tribulations, good times, bad times and everything else in between she has shared with Ibiki; she definitely feels as if she is some sort of little siblings at this point and someone worth watching over. Thus, in this sense, there is at least the seeds of compassion sown somewhere deep within Oni-Kyosei's own mind throughout all of her other personality traits.

High Ambitions: Based on the fact that she was born from Ibiki's own willpower and is a reflection of her soul, Oni-Kyosei feels a great need to always progress in herself. It's always there, like an annoying tick that won't just go away. A voice in the back of her head always screaming at her to go further, to fight harder, to endure more and to otherwise suffer for the sake of progression. This passion, this drive; all of it stems from this great ambition that flares within the heart of Oni-Kyosei and keeps her mind in check if she ever feels herself faltering. It's why she has instilled the arts of willpower, discipline and self-reliance within the likes of Ibiki so that she to can craft the keys needed to unlock her mind and body's true potential to achieve a higher-sense of self and progress towards being a stronger person then she was the day before. This is their ultimate goal at the end of the day, and as the years goes by, Oni-Kyosei can confidently say that she is quite proud of where her Ambitions have taken her to be an extremely savage, mighty and powerful Zanpakutō spirit; along with bringing the decimating strength of Ibiki herself along for the road. Each of them hold even greater outlooks for the shining future that lays before the Oni-Twins.

Ibiki's Inner World

• Inner World: Ibiki's Inner World is quite the place to behold. Upon first entering it? She amply named it 'The Land of Fantasy". Thus, it can sometimes be refereed to as "Fantajī Sekai " in her native Japanese tongue; simply meaning fantasy world. And, on that note, it's worth remembering that Fataji Sekai vaguely resembles a massive version of feudal Japan. As this land mass is roughly the same size as a nation similar to Japan. Moving onward, there are many sorts of desolate regions to find within this land, as only Suika and Oni Kyōsei inhabit this land. However, once one is able to reach the central range of Ibiki's Inner World? It turns into a place called "Gensokyo" that is landlocked within a two hundred mile radius. Inside of this vicinity there are many sorts of geographical features to behold such as various mountains that appear to have communities of kappa towards the top of its base. While, as you descend further, there are often tengu-like communities near peaks of these mounds.

As you discover more of this fantasyland, you'll begin to take notice of many varieties of forest within it's depths. One of the more prominent forestland's is a location that is dubbed "The Bamboo Forest". It, as the name describes, is a woodland mostly comprised out of bamboo's. Though, one of it's key spots seems to be a very large, ancient Japanese mansion which seems to be hidden deep within the Bamboo Forest. It also appears to have hallways that lead out into the far reaches of the sky. Leading Ibiki to assume this is how her Zanapukto Spirit is able to materialize into the material world. In any case, as you venture further out of the Bamboo Forest, you'll eventually be placed another dubbed "The Forest Of The Lost". One of it's outstanding features is that she's observed a strange shop of oddities; which includes many types of objects found in the realm of the living, perish items from her childhood and even various weapons. Outside of that, though, there doesn't seem to be anything too unusually about, but Suika has recalled "evil", "ominous" and "horrid" sensations within the recesses her mind from being in this area too much.

When done exploring this timberland, near the edge of this cluster of trees lays a village that roughly encompasses a ten mile radius. From what Ibiki has been able to view with her own two eyes, this part of her Inner World is actually inhabited by other beings. She's taken observations of different humans, oni-type creatures and Shinigami simply roaming about the town center. They seem to be very sentient, as all the different citizens whom call this place own have varying personalities, life stories and experiences. This baffles Ibiki, but she simply tends to roll with it; having a sneaking suspicion that perhaps her Zanpukto Spirit had the capacity to create familiars and thus filled the varying places within Gensokyo to avoid being miserably alone. In any case, this village appears to have many sorts of food stands, medicine carts, houses and all sorts of other commodities. There has also been a slight expansion near the edge of this crossroads. For some reason or another, over the past few decades, a Buddhist temple had steadily began to take shape and grow until it had been completed; proceeding with a large gathering of followers shortly after it's creation.

Oni-Kyosei in Sealed Form

• Sealed Zanpakutô Appearance : Ibiki's sealed Zanpakutō is actually one of a kind. Unlike most shinigami who have some form of traditional weapon, such as a Katana, The Meancing Devil Girl's Zan is all over the place. It takes the shape of a belt which has a series of separate chains with various attachments to them. The three primary ones are a cube, which represents Ibikis Inner Power; a square that symbolizes her raw strength; and a circle that embodies her willpower. Together with a cuff of chains on each wrist which signifies the hand-to-hand bond both Ibiki and Oni-Kyosei share, it clear there are very deep ties with this Zanpakutō. However, she has even been noted as having a strange purple gourd with various sealing on it. Ibiki has stated that both her and her Zanpaukto Spirit had actually conceived this detachable object to her Sealed Form to otherwise contain a vast quantity of booze to drink at any moment; ultimately linking into each of their passions for just being plain drunktards and having a nearly infinite source of alcohol to feast from that is fueled by their power.

Sealed Abilities

Sake Sutorīmu: (Booze Stream) This is the most simple function of Ibiki's Zanpakutō in sealed form. Sake Sutorīmu is a peculiar, purple gorge that Ibiki is known to carry around from time to time. Inside of it is a containment zone that is roughly the size of a small viallage and withholds an unimaginable supply of...booze. Fueled by Oni-Kyosei and Ibiki's energy, they each maintain the ability to craft unforetold amounts of sake as they please and store it within Sake Sutorīmu. Both Oni-Kyosei and Ibiki have their own gorges in which they proudly sip from.

Yūkai no Sokubaku: (Bounded Shackles) These refer to the chains seen showcased around Ibiki's body. Their ability lays in the fact that Ibiki can easily multiply, retract, extend or otherwise manipulate their physical compound to her liking based on how much willpower or energy she has to do so. An example of how Yūkai no Sokubaku is used is that Ibiki generally uses it alongside her sacred objects in order to cover more ground on the battlefield. This is typically seen if she extends by five hundred meters or so, to have a larger grasp on the vicinity when she needs to and syncs quite well with the other abilities that her sealed Zanpakutō has. A second example of how this can be used is if she otherwise manipulates the physical structure of it to be engulfed by he reitsu to augment the overall strength of her chains and objects attached to them; resulting in an overall stronger weapon. The only drawback that she is aware of with this ability is that it's reliant on her energy and will to otherwise perform the extension and manipulation feats.

Tsuyo Kyūbu: (Strength Cube) Tsuyo Kyubu is the first accessory attached to Ibiki's person. As stated before, this represents her raw strength. Ergo, the first ability which is granted in her sealed form is blunt force. However, it isn't applied to Ibiki herself, as she is naturally a decimating force by herself. Instead? This raw force is applied to all parts of her Zanpukto as if they were an extension of Ibiki herself. So, in other words, all of the objects attached to Oni-Kyosei have enough impact force to easily flatten most opponents. An example of this would be if Ibiki had hurled one of her three objects, or even chains, at the opponents. Should this make a direct contact, it would be equal to taking a punch from Ibiki herself. Therefore, you can think of these as additional limbs capable of changing the tide in combat. The only known drawbacks that Ibiki knows of when it comes to this trait, is that when she is too tired to wield this weapon, then it's effects will gradually wear off. Meaning, if she is beaten or otherwise exhausted in battle, the use of this weapon will ween off.

In'nā Nagare: (Inner Flow) This refers to the symbolism of Ibiki's Inner Power. Taking the shape of a circular sphere, In'nā Nagare allows Ibiki to otherwise channel her spiritual energy in most matters that she desires that are related to hand-to-hand. What does this mean? Well, for starters, if she felt her strength wasn't up to par, it is quite possible for her to easily augment herself with her vast quantities of spiritual energy from both herself and Oni-Kyosei in order to dramatically increase her striking capacity. From the inital boost, to Ibiki's power and Oni-Kyosei's; it's very possible that Ibiki can have duration of time between one to five post where she can more then triple her overall physical stats with her reiatsu. With that said, you can see how this will lead to swift trouble for most who dare to oppose her on the battlefield. By engulfing her limbs, and even horns, inside of her energy; you will often find that In'nā Nagare will be your worse nightmare when in combat. It becomes more fierce-some, even, with each release form. As in Shikai, this can maximize her strength six times, and in Bankai, upwards of twelve times.

However, the primary drawbacks with this ability is that is can tire out Ibiki more quickly then normal. Since she is pushing her physical limitations further then her average, it tends to leave a strong strain on her body if she uses for extended periods of time; causing accelerated side effects when in conjunction with the limitations of her physical strength as it is. Because of this, Ibiki often only tries to utilize In'nā Nagare in quick burst between one or two post; rather then the five post limit. Furthermore, it also carries a one to two post cooldown before she can utilize it again when pushed too hard. Meaning that this power must be treated with great care to otehrwise avoid it backfiring on the likes of Ibiki during battle.

Jiko-kiritsu: (Self-Discipline) This is in reference to the strange triangle that is connected to Ibiki's Zanpakutō. Jiko-kiritsu represents the high level of discipline Ibiki has, granting her the ability to otherwise have insanely high stamina. This is a passive ability for the most part, but it allows for Ibiki to endure hardships related to her abilities for more prolonged periods of time compared to others of her level, allows her extended usage of her ascended forms for longer duration's of time and it even strengthens the potency of her attributes. In regards to that last part, it otherwise means that every assault launched by Ibiki is otherwise heavily refined. Meaning that if she had launched her cube against someone who had the ability to repel attacks, there may be a stronger chance for her to bulldoze pass it because it's durability would be enhanced by Jiko-kirtsu and hopefully allow it to otherwise be un-influenced by their power.

It is also applied throughout most of Ibiki's body to otherwise improve her durability against those whom use supernatural techniques, but this is where the drawbacks begin to weigh in. As her health, mental stamina and energy reserves are put to the test during battle; like some of the other attributes of Oni-Kyosei, this may begin to lower in effectiveness as she focuses her remaining strength towards other aspects of her Zanpakutō or body. Furthermore, this is not always one hundred percent in it's durability. It merely allows Ibiki to have a higher chance then normal to shield herself against attacks, but is by no means impossible to break through. It may even be possible for someone with greater willpower then her to bypass these effects altogether in some cases.

Hyūzu-Chen: (Fused Chains) These represent the bound that Ibiki and Oni-Kyosei have. Referring to the shackles on each of Ibiki's wrist, these give her the ability to have two separate energy sources; one from herself and one from Oni-Kyosei. In other words, at this point, Ibiki's bound with her Zanpakutō has grown so strong that it has essentially grown into it's own being with it's own separate power source. While, with Ibiki's immense amount of self-training, she has created her own separate section of energy within her body to make it as if you are fighting two people at once once Hyuzu-Chen is activated. To give an example of how this works, if Ibiki felt she needed more of a fighting edge against an opponent, she may very well call upon the strength of Hyuzu-Chen to more then double her overall-stats in base form, quadruple her capacities in Shikai and multiply them by eight times while in her Bankai state. These range from her physical strengths, the volume of energy she has within herself that is being generated, the abilities of her powers and even her mental health to an extent.

However, while these may hold great gains for Ibiki in the short-term, it can be quite taxing if used for extended periods of time. Why is that? It's quite simple, actually. When utilizing Hyuzu-Chen, Ibiki acts as a holding carrier for two people. Normally, she only fights for herself. But, when this technique is activated, it's as if she is carrying around two people at the same time. So she will generally tire out faster, possibly go through her energy reserves more quickly and eventually find it that it is not in her best interest to continually use this for long stretches of time. Which is why she tends to use this ability of her sealed Zan sparingly, rather then abusing it all of the time. Though, if it's focused on only one area, as opposed to the overall augmentation, it may be possible to lessen the burden. Such as if she only focused on her physical buffs, rather then applying ti to most of her bodily attributes on a supernatural and mental level.

Natural Attributes

Extreme Hakuda Skill: This is quite the natural gift for The Menacing Devil Girl to possess within her very capable hands. Unlike most others that are within the Division 11, Ibiki can be extremely precise in her Hakuda when she chooses to be. This is because she holds the potential, with just her barehands, to equally or outmatch most who happen to utilize some sort of armed weapon or even special ability in a released state. An instance of this occurring would be an Arrancar whom had activated their Resscuerion Form and shot at cero towards Ibiki may be very surprised when she is able to tear it apart directly with her fist. Another display of this skill is that Ibiki can even disarm opponents in a rather swift manner when she is able to target their weak-points and take them out with her hand-to-hand alone. Meaning that if Ibiki was ever without her Zanpukto, it would still be extremely difficult to do battle with her as she had trained most of her life to fight with her bare hands alone.

• Oni Senses: Due to training her body so extensively over the years, Ibiki has a very keen sense of place in the universe. Her sight, sound, hearing, touch and smell are extremely fine tune to where she is able to see distances upwards of twenty miles ahead, smell out thousands of different people at the same time within a ten mile radius, recognize various objects simply by touch and hear things as small as a pin dropping when she decides to otherwise focus her senses. By feeding the growth in her body with the very potent levels of spiritual energy that Ibiki has, she has otherwise hyper-accelerated it's capacities to otherwise make herself more aware of her surroundings when in the hells of combat. In fact, this perception has even allowed Ibiki to otherwise put her mind in a state of calm and read the movements of faster opponents as if time had deaccelerated. This is because when she hones her mind, the brain activity within her head accelerates to a point where she becomes very precise in the manner in which she views the point.

However, this isn't just applied to her natural senses. The Menacing Devil also appears to have transition this into her spiritual senses as well. Ibiki has the capacity to feel out hundreds of thousands of different souls at the same moment within a fifty mile radius as one of the examples of this fine tuning. She is also very keenly aware of other supernatural attacks that may otherwise not have a tangible or visible force. For instance, if there was something such of a telekinesis based attack heading her way, Ibiki's body would scream with the senses of danger and warn her to move, put herself on the defense or otherwise prepare to obliterate it with her raw force. All of these examples are reasons why The Monster of Squad 11's discipline has paid off in the art of extremely fine senses. It allows for her to react at a moment's notice, to see the world through a new eyes and constantly keep herself moving forward in fast based combat when on the battlefield.

• Nimble Speed: While this isn't her most definite trait, based on Ibiki's small statue, she happens to be a very swift person when she chooses to be. Without having to carry around a heavy amount of weight on her body, Ibiki has been known to weave in and out of attacks with great ease; without even utilizing Shunpo. This is because she has trained herself to make use of her physical energy to otherwise turbo charge her speed. How is this performed? It's quite simple really. Since Ibiki's muscles hold a great amount of potential energy within them based upon their strength, she utilizes trace amounts of her spiritual energy to otherwise convert that force into extreme boost of speed when she is required to. Which means, when it complimented with shunpo, Ibiki can be gone in flash when dealing with her on the battlefield. In fact, she may be one of the fastest members within the Squad 11 Company; as not many are noted for their speed within this division, but Ibiki has horned most of her physical attributes to an extreme point.

It's even stated by Ibiki herself, that if she is utilizing her speed and strength at the time, no matter what level she happens to be, her overall physical striking power will be augmented by two or three times based on the momentum her body generates when punching and kicking an opponent. As, in other words, if she had gained enough distance and strikes you in the gut; it's potency and strength may otherwise be augmented based upon the kinetic energy her body can produce when moving at these hyper-sonic speeds. However, one of the drawbacks to this insane speed is that it can be taxing if overused. As Ibiki can move at speeds fast enough to even evade lightning strikes, it's no wonder that it will eventually cause strain on her bones and muscles if she is constantly placed at these speeds. Therefore, she tries to condition her body to otherwise deal with the brunt of this speed better, perform her strength training to otherwise lower the risk of injuries occurring with her speed boost and tries not too use too much force with her burst at one time.

Enormous Amounts Of Spiritual Energy: Even while within her sealed form, Ibiki has a high volume of energy that can be sensed whenever she decides to flaunt it around. Without Oni-Kyosei's assistance at all, in fact, some have even noted that being around The Menacing Devil is comparable to drowning in a sea of pure power. Through many years of training, she has given her body time to grow, flourish and otherwise become stronger; and it has paid her back a hundred-fold in the form of this bountiful Reiryoku. Allowing her to dish out very dangerous moves like a breeze, it takes quite awhile for Ibiki herself to run out of fuel. As without utilizing any of her other attributes, Ibiki has enough energy within herself to easily take on multiple Captains at once if had came down to a fight among them. However, more then that, she has a refined sense of control about her energy. As she has taken the time to study these arts, she has figured out various ways to seemly incorporate it into her fighting style.

What this means is that The Devil Girl has a strong knowledge and ability to manipulate her spiritual energy how she desires at times. For instance, it's possible for her to infuse large amounts of her reishi in order to produce fire breath if she needed a quick attack to strike someone down with. In another example, it's possible for her to channel into her Reiryoku in order to have it repel different sorts of attacks. As, based upon the extreme quantities of energy she has, it's quite easy for her to otherwise deflect varying attacks that do not have the striking capacity to bring her down or are dwarfed by Ibiki's spiritual energy. This applies to most types of fighters, including, but not limited to: hand-to-hand users, magic based users, swordsmen and so on. And, even if someone were stronger then her, Ibiki knows of ways to otherwise have her force generate waves of pressure to deflect them still or at least take away the striking power to an extent of an attack that outclassed her.

So, as you can see from all the above, Ibiki has quite the advanced amount of control over her energy and could possibly show most seasoned Captains a thing or two about how to harness the power of their Reiryoku. And, as you begin to review more of Ibiki's strengths, you can see how this only improves with Oni-Kyosei having her own seperate source of spiritual energy. As, with the way Ibiki's body is set-up, she herself has a core of Reiryoku that is available to her; while Oni-Kyosei has her own personal set. And when the two of them unify? This produces quite the explosive results as they harmonize with one another to bring a target down.

• Strength: Ibiki posses an immense amount of raw strength, even while in her sealed state. By focusing apart of her training regime on applying her spiritual energy to be infused together with her muscles, she has obtained a phenomenal state of physical performance. This ultimately translates in Ibiki being able to obtain Class Two strength while in most states of being. What does mean? Well, Suika is capable of being able to lift extremely massive structures similar to buildings, large boulders and even entire battleships if the situation calls for it. However, when she gets more serious, Class Three Strength begins to kick in and it appears she is able to throw entire structures equal to skyscrapers towards opponents and even having the capacity to decimate an entire mountainside with her raw physical prowess. Therefore, to engage Ibiki in physical combat is to do battle with quite the monster. After all, she didn't get her title as "Menacing Devil Girl" just because of the horns that spouted on her head.

Even more then that, when transcending into her Shikai or Bankai States, Suika also holds the ability to smash straight through various attacks with her otherworldly strength. For instance, if she summoned enough physical energy in one of her blows, she would be able to destroy entire Kidō based attacks with her bare hands. This is done by channeling her spiritual energy and raw strength together as a destructive force capable of destroying targets, threats or other variables that happen to enter Ibiki's path on a physical level, spiritual frequency and even on blazing straight through the metaphysical. Making it seem as if even if she is disarmed, stripped her power or otherwise has the odds stacked against her; she typically tries to relay on her strength in order to carry her through the storm and smash her way into victory through very brute measures. Thus, it's ultimately never wise to underestimate Ibiki as another run of the mill strength user when it comes to fighting.

However, with all of that said, no system like this is perfect. There are limitations, drawbacks and cooldowns to everything in this world; meaning that Ibiki is no exception to the rules. One of the first limitations of this strength is that she is still limited by her stamina and endurance. To make a point: Ibiki is similar to a human in peak physical condition. While athlete's, bodybuilders and other Olympic types may hold great ability for their race; they are still prone to being worn out, needing time to recover and eventually being drained or exhausted from their feats. In Ibiki's case? She's simply an extremely more advanced case of that; being a Super Shinigami of sorts. She holds all of this strength and might, but can and will still get tired after throwing her strength around too much. For instance, Ibiki is perfectly fine with blowing her way through a plethora of obstacles that get in her away, but eventually she will feel out of breath, sweaty and need a moment to rebuild herself; such as a runner would feel after running roughly three times, needing a minute or so to cool off and then start up the run once again.

Another drawback that Ibiki appears to have is that she sometimes needs to focus her destructive force in order to channel it's peak potential. As smashing through supernatural powers is no easy feat, when referring to her metaphysical strength, she may need to be a good mental state in order to direct the type of damage she wants to inflict on her opponent, the vicinity around her or conjure up a counterattack against her foe. In any case, she needs to determine how much power she is going to put behind any ol' punch, kick or headbutt to avoid tiring herself out, making sure that she does not injure herself or to avoid accidently causing collateral damage to innocents, allies or the area she happens to be in. Failure to do so can, as stated previously, inflict damage upon herself in worse case scenario. This can result in broken bones, torn muscles and other internal injuries; possibly even rupturing entire organs.

Therefore, it is very important for Ibiki to watch herself when doing combat. While she may hold the might needed to change entire landscapes with her fist, it's not a certainty all the time. One false move and she'll be sitting on the sidelines until she can recover her health. So, as a certain man once said: "With great strength, comes great responsibility."

Immense Durability: Such as her impressive strength, Ibiki posses a very high level of endurance. She is capable of having high resistance against physical based attacks, as she had adapted quite well to them based on it being her primary fighting style. That means she is able to even take blows to the gut that would be equivalent to the destructive force of a carpet bomb going off in a small area, being able to withstand many sword strikes to her body before they pierce through her skin and taking on entire cero, sometimes even, grand ray cero's with her barehands. Though, it's worth noting in the classifications listed above, she'll typical still take some amount damage. The thing with her, though? It's highly reduced to where she can keep fighting as usual, or she simply tries to tune it out with her immense willpower and very high pain endurance. So, if someone assaulted her with said physical attack that rivaled the force of a carpet bombing, she would still feel the pain and damage, but would be able to keep fighting despite the pain, while having reduced injury done to her herself.

Even more so, she even seems to have a fast recovery time. Being able to jump back on her fight sometimes in under a half day if she was knocked senseless by an opponent. So that translates into her even being able to have a faster rate of time in which she can restore her overall energy reserves when compared to the average Shinigami. And, the kicker? It's all rather easy to explain and Ibiki can teach any high powered Shinigami to be able to perform it. By watching how Arrancar are able to create thick layers of skin through their reiryoku, Ibiki realized that it was entirely possible for her to mimic this technique to her defensive measures. So, similar to how she used her spiritual energy to dramatically augment her strength, Suika was able to perform this same technique to herself and rise her overall durability by using her spiritual power intermixed with her raw physical strength to have a high endurance. Eventually making it to where, after being conditioned so long, her body had adapted and reached near "Super Shinigami", as some put it, when it comes to her attributes. Meaning, that through her constant training of applying spiritual energy to the body, Suika reached a state where it was able to perform at these level's regardless of rather or not she focused on it. Making it to where, when she reached heightened states of spiritual pressure, Ibiki's durability would rise further. Similar to how constant weight training shows new gains for bodybuilders, or someone wearing weighted clothes to increase their speed + stamina.

Thus, in these states of being, Ibiki holds the same capacity her strength holds against the physical, supernatural and spiritual. An example of how to display this trait, when released or flowing with spiritual energy, Suika holds the potential to dramatically lower the effectiveness of magic based powers on her by applying her defense on a metaphysical level. This makes it harder to attack her when she begins to get serious with an opponent. As, this trait isn't constantly active, only being summoned when more quantities of spiritual pressure are summoned. And, on that note, Ibiki has even trained herself to become highly resistant against those who may happen to be more powerful then her because of this. While most typically fall to their knees under the weight of a vastly more powerful being then themselves based on their spiritual pressure, Suika is able to stand-tall and endure it because of her constant training and defense being applied to a spiritual level to help her better fair against people who might have larger energy supplies then herself.

Now, with all of that said, there are obvious limitations. One of the first being is that her defense can be brought down if she begins to tire herself out. An instance of this occurring would be if she was constantly brawling through opponent after opponent; each steadily making their marks on her body through her stacks. The injuries start to pile-up, sooner or later, and she begins to feel their effects taking hold on her body. This is intensified if she begins to deplete in Reiryoku, exhaust herself physically and ultimately when she seems to be drained after a grueling battle. Meaning that some opponents may have to tire Ibiki out and then strike her relentlessly in some cases. So the key to combating her defense would simply be to keep fighting as you normally would.

The Shikai Of The Demon:

• Shikai Release: "Smash 'em up, Oni Kyōsei!"

• Shikai Appearance: When Ibiki transforms int other Shikai state, there actually isn't much of a change in her at all. This is because most of the alterations that occur in her release are on a internal level, and as such, there isn't a strong need to modify her outward appearance much. The only noticeable changes that occur during her release is the fact that she may have a strong glow emitting from her body related to her reiatsu color. Luckily, it allows for swift releases whenever The Menacing Devil needs a boost of power during a invigorating battle and she doesn't need to waste time adjusting to a new body.

• Shikai Ability:

Resolve Force: Ibiki's Shikai is quite the power to tamper with. She essentially has the ability to transform her resolve into a tangible force that she uses alongside her brute fighting style to overwhelm her opponents. Therefore, she has given this power the name "Resolve Force" as a result of her findings. From what she is able to perceive of it, Resolve Force is a supernatural construct that allows her to use this special energy in order to effect things where her physical prowess may fail her. An instance of Resolve Force coming into play would be if Ibiki had found herself fighting against an opponent who had the ability to fire off rays of energy at her. In this scenario, Ibiki would charge wildly at the attack and envision bypassing within her head. When this request is registered to the Resolve Force, it will then attempt to scan the opponents energy frequency coming from the output of the attack.

Once this information is taken in, Resolve Force will then tax Ibiki by causing physical strain on her body in addition to taking out certain amounts of energy depending on the task she is trying to do. When this sacrifice is made, Resolve Force will then be able to allow Ibiki not to avoid the attack, but simply bypass the damaging effects by Resolve Force masking her body to be similar to the opponents attack frequency and thus evade taking injury for the time being. In this method, this is similar to a person blending into an enemy territory by wearing their colors, talking their lingo and eventually seeping into the background undetected as they'd consider that person one of them.

Another instance of Ibiki using Resolve Force is in order to use her willpower in order to envision some sort of physical augmentation to her. Therefore, by tapping into this resolve force and sacrificing her spiritual energy, Ibiki is able to increase most of her physical attributes to a certain extent. On average, she is at least able to increase her strength, reaction time, speed, stamina and endurance by five times. The maximum amount for this has not been set, but Ibiki doesn't seek to push it too far as she knows it taxes the body like any other sort of technique of this caliber.

In any case, judging from these two examples, one should have a good idea of how the concept of Resolve Force works. It materializes the person's will power, turns it into a tangible resource at the cost of their spiritual energy and it's up to how strong Ibiki's resolve is, the difference in power between her and her opponent, how crafty she become with this power and how much her body can withstand to see the limits of Resolve Force.

Shikai Drawback

• Drawbacks: For beginnners, it's worth noting that each and every function of her Resolve Force steadily drains Ibiki from her power. While she may be able to call upon a secondary source of energy from it, even that can be drained as well. So, for instance, if she were to use Resolve Force in order to make an attempt at smashing through a barrier by transforming Resolve Force into a concept that decayed a shield; that nifty move would be taken out of Ibiki in the form of her spiritual energy taking a hit from that technique. In addition to that, she would also feel fatigue in a similar fashion as to how a runner feels when jogging.

In this conception of of Resolve Force, Ibiki needs to make sure her body is up to par to deal with the harsh run's she receives from using RF. There is a need to pace how much she uses in one term, making sure her body has enough muscle mass internally to lower symptoms of exhaustion and make sure not to use it all in one run; as much novice runners easily. It's all about taking it a level where Ibiki can strike fast, but her body can endure it as well. Finding a steady middle ground between fast and slow to ensure a constant flow.

So, with a basic understanding of how her drawbacks work, it's safe to assume what happens to her when this power burns through her reserves, correct? Once she hits zero, Ibiki will either be forced to go back into her base state OR into a Life or Death mode where she is still able to use her powers, but it WILL kill her if she does not descend within a period of 2-4 post. Therefore, during this overdrive state, Resolve Force actually reaches it's peaks; but she becomes heavily taxed afterward. In many instances she'll either end up unconscious, suffer extreme fatigue or, in the worse scenario, just plain die. Thus, it's not recommended that she continue fighting for too long after she has burned through her resources as it will just eat at her life energy until it ultimately kills her.

And with that, Resolve Force is an extremely capable Shikai Power; but it must be managed with great care in order to avoid misuse, find the current balance and avoid dying.

Shikai Techniques

Zanpakutō Materialization: This does not take much energy in order to summon. By simply tapping into her willpower, Ibiki is able to summon her Zanpakutō to the battlefield. When this is done, it acts as a familiar of sorts. When Oni Kyōsei is morphed into her physical body, it is possible for her to act as an entirely separate entity from Suika. This means that Oni Kyōsei, or Kyosei for short, is able to call upon her own energy resources in order to lessen the strain on Suika's end. This is made possible because. as all Shinigami know, they gain a good deal of their released powers from their Zanpakutō Spirit. So, by that logic, all Ibiki is doing is releasing that spirit and granting a physical form in order to have an extra person combat the opponent when needed. This technique is often used as a means to have a deeper bond with her Zanpakutō, experience the thrills of combat alongside her and know that she will never be alone when faced in the pits of combat. It's quite a rarity to see such a close bond amongst Shinigami and Zanpakutō, after all.

Augmentation Boost: Thanks to the nature of her release and willpower alone, Suika is able to experience a three time augmented boost to all of her attributes. This refers to her racial traits such as Kidō, Hakuda, Shunpo and Zanjutsu. It also increases her general attributes such as stamina, durability, offense, speed, sight, sound and even perception. All of these area's are taken along for the enhancement. This type of intensification is even applied to Ibiki's mental state. It improves her reaction time greatly, clears her mind of any doubts she may have had before, sharpens her warrior instincts and appears to even increase her creative side as she is able to conjure more fluent ways to fight someone then previously. Lastly, the final area which will see an enrichment in her energy. This will allow for the restoration of up to twenty to thirity percent of energy if she exhausted it. (I.E. she was at 60% of her overall fuel, but boosted back up to 90% upon releasing Shikai) It will also increase the volume, mass and overall potency of it in order to become more effective with her powers.

Phase Blast: This is a rather simple, but very deadly trick that Ibiki is capable of doing. By associating her destiny manipulation together with Resolve Force, she is capable of damaging or distorting various objects & attacks by phasing parts of her body or attack's and then unphasing said parts to simply phasing through it with a temporary form of Intangibility through RF. An instance of this would be if she applied Phase Blast to a sphere of light conjured up with her energy, Ibiki would make a pass at trying to direct towards an attack. Should this prove successful? The main intent would be to disrupt both tangible and intangible matter by phasing through it and then unphasing.

Thus, with the highly destructive capacity this attack has, she is limited to one to two uses of it per post; with a total of five to six uses before a five to eight post cooldown into effect before she can use it again. In addition to that, in order to effect living beings? Ibiki may need to have herself or the object of her choice lock on the opponent and stay on or near their position for a one to two post duration. If that occurs? Then she can possibly have fatal effects if this disruption occurs on the one spot where it was attached to the most. Meaning that the opponent would have time to sense it, see it coming and choose to counter or move away depending on the type of method used. Kidō also appears to work quite nicely with this attack in terms of sealing or stopping it.

Envision Force: Thanks to being able to utilize her will as extension of herself through spiritual energy or Resolve Force's energy, Ibiki is able to control to certain tangible concepts within a maximum of one thousand meters at best. Typically she sticks to a five hundred range, and so, on average, often begins to bend the world caught inside of this radius to her whim...within reason. So, for a illustration of this technique, if Rose happened to be in the pathway of river of lava heading towards her way? Envision Force could activate in order to make sure the needed alterations were successfully processed through her spiritual energy, Resolve Force and willpower. Leaving only what Ibiki desired this molten magma to be. And thus, in this circumstance? She would have to think very quickly, summon enough power and then proceed to morph the ashes form; ultimately changing it to a wave of harmless water to evade taking damage from the basalt might of volcanic matter. Emerging safe and sound on the opposite side of the lava.

Another way this could be applied to her surroundings is if she used Envision Force in order to increase the temperatures in a one hundred radius to burn an opponent. There would be a surge of spiritual pressure sensed in the area. Then, in one post time, an extreme explosion of heat should engulf this area and expand, similar to an explosion, around a two hundred meter vicinity. Other ways that Envision could be used is in the form of force fields. By controlling the physics on a physical and metaphysical level within an area that related to mass, vectors, kinetics and spiritual energy; Ibiki could begin to transform her Reiryoku into a solid force that could block an attack, harness the power of kinetic energy to enhance it strength and then utilize vectors to reflect the strike back at the target if it was something direct; such as a cero, wave of fire and things of this nature that are tangible constructs. Though, it is possible to repel the intangible, this requires a bit more focus on Ibiki's end and the ability to perceive it.

With the benefits concluded, there are defects and other limitations associated with this technique. As stated in the main drawback of Resolve Force, and Envision Force, is that each and every function of this attribute of RF will steadily drain Ibiki of her energy resources if she overuses it, tries to make too many functions with it combines a plethora of attacks in one post. She is often only limited to three to six alterations in a post; meaning she can conjure up that set of numbers when it comes to modifications in the vicinity around her with Envision Force. However, as an additional drawback, Ibiki is temporarily locked from using other techniques, outside of her augmentative boost or Zanpukto Materialization, after she begins harnessing Envision Force. The exception is if she had something previously activated; such as shifting her body's height to rival a small building from her Size Me Up technique and THEN activating Envision Force. This translates into the fact that she may only make use of EF for that entire post until she is able to use other techniques again.

Size Me Up: This is one of the primary ways that she utilizes her Zanpukto's power. Through her sheer will, Ibiki has crafted a remarkable technique where she is able to control the density, mass and solidity of her body in addition to other objects, attack or other variables in a five hundred meter vicinity. With her mastery over it she can easily increase or decrease any of these values as she desires. By using her energy as an extension of herself, she usually begins to apply this effect to herself. So, for example, when she enters into Shikai? One of the first things that she usually tries to do is produce a form of body manipulation to toughen her overall condition. Thus, at the cost of small amount of her energy in regards to EACH alterations she makes, she can greatly increase the durability of herself by having the skin, bones, tissue and even muscles become heavily more dense. This will allow her even further ability to withstand strains on the body, gravity alterations, devastating impacts and other changes in pressure or even temperature.

Another modification Ibiki can make is, of course, her total height. By visualizing this change in herself by Resolve Force, Suika is able to increase the size of herself to become a true beast as her physical capabilities grow even further advanced; such as her strength, durability and endurance picking up greatly when she goes into her giant form. Though, this part of Size Me Up isn't very wise to use in areas where collateral damage and destruction can cause more trouble then it is worth. Though, of course, she can also do the total opposite of this and shrink the size of herself while maintaining proportion. This helps in being able to evade certain attacks, hide under small places or just plain surprise somebody by morphing to the size of an ant and then reforming herself to regular size behind an opponent. It really makes the growth feature of this power very useful and gives her the ability to craft nifty maneuvers in combat.

Lastly, in terms of effecting other objects in her range of five hundred meters? This is often used in order to counter, dodge or otherwise get the edge on the opponent. So, for a perfect case of this power being demonstrated properly, say if someone shot some sort of cero towards Ibiki's direction? Well, by exploiting the property of this technique to use her energy as an expansion of herself, she could very easily increase the mass of a nearby rock in order tower roughly one hundred feet; while increasing the density of it in order to decrease the case of the cero phasing through it. Giving her enough time to move out of the way with flash step and possibly get one additional attack in from another function of Resolve Force. If she is really pressed for time, and has energy spare, she can even apply the same to attacks that come within her domain. Thus, if she has no other way to particularly counter something once it gets too close to her, she may use Size Me Up in order to make an attempt at shrinking something like a cero the the size of a nickel and then redirecting it by making it extremely light and then simply blowing it back in the opponents direction.

These are some of the most intense examples of how Size Me Up. So, it's worth noting that there are limitations to this. One of the first is that she is limited often down to two to four alterations to herself or the five hundred radius around her. If she reaches the two action limit, then she'll often have a one post cool down before needing to be able to utilize the technique again. Meaning she often saves the multi-usage function for this if she decides to go really hard on an opponent. In addition to that, some of her adjustments are not always long-term or permanent. To make a point, going back to the rock she used as a shield? That would most likely only last one to two post before it was restored back to it's original size. Really, only herself or things that she own can really have long-term changes. And even then, it's mostly just equipment. Lastly, as if it weren't made obvious enough, too much abuse of this can often lead to fatigue, exhaustion and mental stress as it's heavily related to her willpower; not even mentioning the fact that there is a small energy usage fee for each modifications she makes.

• Bankai Description: Yet again, there isn't much of a physical change that transpires when Ibiki makes her shift into Bankai. She is against such flashy means of transformations, as she prefers to swiftly change into this state when she needs to. However, when Ibiki activates her Bankai, there is a strong sense that her energy is extremely overwhelming. To the point where most would probably be suffocated if she wasn't in-control of herself. In addition to that, sparks of bio-electricity may sometimes be seen flashing across her body in addition to more veins sticking out of her muscles and a more vibrant pulsation of reitsu will emit from her body at the same time. In addition to all of that, parts of her Zanpukato may began to become entirely engulfed within her spiritual energy to signify the massive spike in power that would be occurring in Ibiki during the time of her Bankai release. And, lastly, her spiritual energy seems to engulf her body; sprouting oni-like horns from the top of her head. This will allow for the use of an extremely potent ability that is assoicated with her ascended state.

• Bankai Power:

Dramatic Power Augmentations: This is one of the more standard features of The Devil Girl's Bankai Release. When Ibiki activates her her Bankai state in most threads, while many average Bankai's see a rough five times increase in their overall strength, Ibiki is able to produce a massive ten times increase in her overall attributes. This means that her speed, endurance, energy levels, power capacities and overall ability is increased tenfold while she has her Bankai state activated. And, while that may seem daunting by itself, you must also remember that this is on top of the intense augmentations that she had received while within her Shikai State. So to fight Ibiki in her Bankai is truly a monstrous task when you consider all of the possibilities this sort of power boost holds; not to mention the techniques that the girl even had while within in her sealed Zanpakutō state.

Furthermore, this Augmentation even applies to her Mental Clarity and Ibiki has noted herself as being more clever, insanely fast on her feet and able to think more clearly as a result of this odd feature within her Bankai. She believes this may have something to do in regards to her willpower having an effect on her mind as well. It's as if the world all around her is but a simple puzzle waiting to be pieced together. Though, on the flipside, Oni-Kyosei and Ibiki both had noticed that she had began more hot-blooded while within her Bankai as a result of all this power coursing through her veins. This is because with the immense union occuring between the two during this state of immense power, more of Oni-Kyosei's personality traits had merged into Ibiki's mind. Ergo, she becomes more bold, more loud and ready to thrash at anything that dares to get in her way within reason.

In any case, moving forward in this, she has also detected that some of the limitations and restraints that were placed in her previous forms have become more tolerable to deal with. For instance, Ibiki is able to prolong her usage of Resolve Force while within in Bankai. Because her body's overall stamina has been accelerated so hard in this transcended state, she has less difficulties in making the most of RF. This makes her more of a threat to deal with because she will not hesitate to flatten the opponent with it's increased potential while in her Bankai and is essentially at it's strongest until she otherwise achieves a Shiokai. The exchange, however, is that her Bankai generally seems to put some immense strain on her body after awhile and she does not try to stay in it for too long if she can help it.

So, in light of that, because she has such massive gains in her transformation, it's even possible for her to use techniques or abilities that consume large amounts of energy without as many massive repercussions as her Shikai; such as an attack that equaled the output of a Cero Osucas or Ulquiorra's Lanza del Relámpago in repeated succession when Ibiki is heated up in battle. Most notably, though, when Ibiki realizes she has something she wishes to overcome or otherwise protect; she has noted that she can push the limits of her Bankai to, at a maximum, reach a fifteen times increase.

This is because her Bankai is so immensely submerged within her mind at this point, it can react to the many different instnaces in which emotional change occurs within her and convert it into tangible forces that make Ibiki attack that much harder. Sometimes even prolonging the amount she can sustain an extremely difficult technique to manage, or shortening the time of cool downs if she has moments where her willpower is extremely high.

Overall, Ibiki's Bankai is something that was not easily mastered, but had paid off in these massive gains. And while it may not seem like a massive change to most on the outside, the dramatic alterations that occurred within her internally more then make-up for the lack of show. She is stronger, smarter and at her best when this state is activated and her opponent better watch out.

Bankai Related Abilities

Retains Former Powers: This is one of the first few nifty tricks that Ibiki's Bankai has and is a simple one at that. When she transforms into her transcended state, she automatically withholds all of the former abilities she had in her Sealed and Shikai Forms. However, they become extremely more potent then in their previous forms and can be much more lethal when mixed in conjunction with the other techniques that Ibiki has learned during her time training her Bankai. Ergo, be very mindful of this when fighting against The Devil Girl while she is near her maximum strength. As even the slightest racial abilities she has can boosted to insane proportions when doing combat with Ibiki in this state.

Wide-Scale Power Usage: While not too subtle, this is actually a strong feature within Ibiki's Bankai. In order to cope with some of the more serious threats she'd be facing while within this ascended transformation, her abilities can cover very large area spanning across many miles. Ibiki has even stated that it's very possible for her to consume even large cities if she puts her mind to something and attempts to push herself. Many of her techniques even destroy vast landscapes with relative ease; further supporting this claim. However, one of the primary drawbacks that this ability has is the fact that it will obviously require some serious determination, immense strength and alot of energy in order to properly carry out this capacity for wide spread damage. So it isn't something Ibiki tries to show off or constantly use; rather, saving for when she really needs to let loose on someone's behind and attempts to take them by surprise when she does decide to get this violent with them.

Limited Amounts Of Regeneration: While Ibiki isn't quite known for this trait, her Bankai does give her the needed ability to regenerate from low-level injuries. Things such as scrapes, burns and open cuts are very much in the realm of possibility for swiftly recovering from. This is because her Will has reached a point of having a physical effect on her body, and in turn, can channel her energy into the needed places to regrow her limbs. And, even though she does not have high-speed regeneration, she does also hold the capacity to regrow most limbs if they happen to be chopped off during battle. However, she will still retain the damage that she had previously taken prior to it being amputated. Repeated regeneration will generally take it's toll on Ibiki's body, so she tries to avoid using it too much if she can help it. After all, with the amount of durability she has, and the level of power she has been boosted to while within in her Bankai state; these use of this trait should not be seen much.

Energy Extension: From the aura of energy that is constantly seen sparking across Ibiki's body, she has obtained the ability to otherwise extend various appendages, objects or attacks from this strong embodiment of power around her. An example of how she uses this energy extension is the fact that she can generate multiple arms in order to otherwise amplify the strength of her hand-to-hand. And, given that most abilities and powers that generate from Ibiki's Zanpkauto can act as an extension of herself, as all of the limbs which are formed from this have the same striking power as Ibiki herself and face the same limits and potential as her natural born body parts. The primary drawback that she has noticed with this ability is that as her energy levels begin to dip, and the strain on her body from sustaining bankai begins to settle in, she starts to retract this ability within a smaller radius to otherwise prevent exhausting herself and to continue the battle for more prolonged periods of time. As the more she begins to multiply, extend or otherwise manipulate this force; the more strain it gradually takes on her body as it's an extension of herself; so it faces the same physical drawbacks as Ibiki.

Decimating Pain-Tolerance: While Ibiki is within her Bankai, she has a very hard time being dealt critical blows. This is because her durability and pain suppression has been pushed to the point where she is able to even brush off something like a Cero Osucas attack being aimed directly at her person. There may be things such as scratches, burn marks and torn clothing; but it may lack in stopping fire if it's only fired once at Ibiki and she will generally continue to keep moving forward if something else isn't put in place to make a dent in her stampede. This is made possible by a multitude of different factors. One of the first is that while in Bankai, Ibiki's nervous system essentially shuts off all influence that doesn't serve to otherwise benefit her in such a critical time when her ascended power is called upon. That means she is able to lower the amount of painful sensation her body feels, or in some cases, cut it out altogether if it doesn't serve much use to her. Turning Ibiki into quite the tank when she needs to be.

On top of that, her muscles have condensed into such a state that they are able to even endure blows from the likes of Kenpachi Zarkai himself over and over again in a repeated motion. When it comes to this part of her amazing durability, thanks to all of the excessive amounts of energy being produced within her body, this stream of power is transferred into her muscles, bones and other body parts in order to make her ability to withstand a wide variety of attacks that are, but not limited to: spiritual based attacks, metaphysical assaults, physical blows and other types of magical blows as well. So, in essence, her overall defense has ballooned into insane levels and it makes her one hell of a devil when she is put to the test in combat. When you add to the fact her discipline allows her to continually keep pushing forward when it comes to a mental level, and all of these attributes that are contained within her powers, it's no wonder that most may have a very hard time bringing the woman down in this state.

Bankai Techniques

Roar Of The Oni: Active when Ibiki is in her Bankai, her spiritual energy has reached an extremely high tipping point to where she can easily produce multitudes of shock and soundwaves from her mouth that can otherwise flatten the entire environment ahead of her. An example of this can be if she needed to easily decimate an entire army of soldiers ahead of her. By using this technique, Ibiki can flatten a ten to twenty mile radius with just her roar alone; showcasing how strong her body has become by this feat of power. The only known drawback that she is aware of with this technique is that it can eventually wear down on her energy supplies and vocal cords if she continues repeated usage of it over and over.

Hell's Rage: By channeling her spiritual energy into her fist, Ibiki will strike the ground with intense force. This alone is capable of causing the ground beneath her to open across a mile wide radius; producing all sorts of Earthquakes and shattering various objects within this vicinity. Once the initial contact has been made, the transference of her spiritual energy will then take place and, within a matter of milliseconds, a large burst of flames and lava will erupt from the ground. Utilizing her spiritual energy, strength and geo-thermal energy; Ibiki can incinerate opponents across vast distances depending how hard she amplifies this technique. She is limited to only being able to use it three times per post at a maximum, but it has the potential to reach upwards of five miles and possibly more depending on the different abilities or powers that she syncs with it.

Star Binder: If Ibiki needs to disarm a large mass of people at once, she does hold the ability to zap them of their spiritual energy (not power) to otherwise make them stall out in the battle quicker then they normally would. This works by first creating a mass series of chains with her Zanpakutō. Following that, she infuses it with her spiritual energy to make them have a strong glow of power generating from their core. Next, locking on to however many targets may be in the area, she'll send rows of chains or objects at them to otherwise attach themselves to their person. Once done, she will attempt to bind them and then have it suck the spiritual energy right out of them by establishing a physical link with them; acting as a vacuum of sorts to otherwise empty them of energy. It's worth noting that Ibiki does not get stronger from doing this, but rather, uses it as another means to disarm someone; or mass loads of people. It's also possible to avoid this by simply destroying the drains, moving out of the way or figuring out a way to otherwise cancel this technique out.

Oni-Torrent: This is a rather simple technique to understand. By swirling her arm in a circular motion, Ibiki will begin to create a torrent of energy above her. Once a sufficient enough of energy is gathered, she'll then break her fist into it to otherwise produce a tornado-blast turbo charged by her physical strength and spiritual energy working together. Depending how hard she goes, it can range anywhere from a few hundred meters, to encompassing an entire two mile wide area. Within it's contents, it's comparable to taken nearly one hundred thousand strikes from Ibiki when it's pushed to that extent; while on average, it can be equal'd to one thousand to ten thousand blows at a time. And, like a twister, Ibiki is even able to sustain it on the filed for a duration of one to two post before it disburses. Luckily for the opponent, she has a two to three post cooldown before she can produce another torrent like that again. That doesn't mean, however, she can't produce multiple ones with her extended appendages or free arm; they will just strain her further.

Genocide Fist: This is yet another large-scale technique that she seems to reserve for Bankai. By gathering a large amount of physical strength within either of her limbs, Ibiki will begin the needed process to otherwise wipe out entire platoons of fighters with her bare-fist alone. Essentially, Genocide Fist is a punch or, in some instances, a kick, that generates a large wave of decimating force across a five mile radius. It's shock wave is capable of shattering barriers, ripping apart attacks, damaging various weapons caught within it's path and even leaving a smoldering carter; as she can destroy entire landscapes with ease while utilizing Genocide Fist. If combined with a second wave, it can even amplify itself upwards to a ten mile radius to blaze through most obstacles that happen to be within Ibiki's wave; yet alone being merged with some of the other abilities that she has.

Endless Oni Sea: Endless Sea is quite the wide-range physical based assault that Ibiki can make great use of while in Bankai. By producing anywhere from a hundred to roughly three thousand clones, she will infuse them all with her physical strength by placing thin-seeds of her spiritual energy within them. From there, she'll use it as a channeling device to otherwise distribute all of the Inner Strength that comes from her body into her clones. When this initial step is completed, they'll then find the target they wish to obliterate and will dash or teleport wildly to cover every square inch of them with the blazing physical might of Ibiki. They can dismantle barriers, rip apart high defense users and swiftly change the landscape depending on how much strength they use collectively. Though, one of the drawbacks of this is that more of it's potent effects occurs when large numbers of the clones are able to make some sort of hit. Individually, they may be easier to deal with and they do not all share the equal strength as Ibiki. Furthermore, once this technique is complete, it will have a two to three post cool down before Ibiki can use it can; but it isn't recommended because it can take a toll on her energy supplies in Bankai.

Feasting Void: This is an extremely capable technique from Ibiki. To begin with, she must first open her mouth as wide as possible. Following that, when she is able to gather trace amounts of her spiritual energy outside of her mouth, a strange black sphere with a white outer glow will materialize. Within a one hundred meter radius across a path directly in front of Ibiki, she will be able to pull in all sorts of attacks, objects and even some people into it's abyss. In a sense, it's almost like a blackhole, but not quite. Once she has sucked in all of the contents within a swift rate of time, she will then cease it's suction function. It will then turn into a red sphere, Ibiki will consume it and then utilize all of the abilities or strengths it has by either releasing it in a massive burst of destruction via her mouth, or holding on to the contents and infusing it into her hand-to-hand. For instance, if Feasting Void had picked up a fire elemental, then she could temporarily use flame punches for a short duration of time equal to one to two post. Luckily, Feasting Void has a two to one post cool down and has a very fine limit to how many materials it can consume before Ibiki decides to shut it down. Anything she isn't otherwise able to digest will simply be used for energy to otherwise produce a decimating explosion following the transference process.

General Purpose: The general purpose of this upgrade is to finish completing her updates. I've waited a long time to otherwise design a final release for her and I'm ready to put in these upgrades since the Gotei needs something stable and strong at the moment. So I've been putting in the work with her profile lately and I feel she deserves with all the advancement that has been placed on her over the years. Plus, it still says I can update her Shio whenever I want to begin with.

Shikōkai Name & Release Phrase

Saigo no Kaiketsu is the name of Ibiki's Shikōkai. This name roughly translates into "Final Resolution". This is because the objective of determination, willpower, and resolve should be used as tools that lead a purpose towards a goal, destination, vision or dream. Therefore, Saigo no Kaiketsu takes the embodiment of that aspect within Ibiki's soul and brings it out within her final release. As the design of her Shikōkai is tailored towards creating a willpower strong enough to change the course of the world around her.

Hence, it's release phrase is this: "Let our will become one and let our cosmic hand break the resolve of the universe. Release, Saigo no Kaiketsu!"

Shikōkai Appearance

The appearances of Ibiki's Shikōkai is one that is rather tame in appearance; akin to most of her prior transformations as well. The main change in aesthetic appearance will be that her skin will often become bright red as a result of a great sum of violent energy being produced within her body. There may be steam that comes out of the pores of her skin, mouth, and nose from time to time as well as this energy swells and expands within her. She'll also have a fire red aura swirling around her body to otherwise represent this aggressive burst of power.

Other noticeable differences is that her fangs and claws will undoubtedly become more unhinged and sharper than before. Along with that, the sounds of millions of demon's screaming into the heavens can be heard when she powers up into this state. Meanwhile, the muscle mass of the woman's body will also shape up, develop and become more toned and ripped; showing more pulsating veins appearing all other her body. And, lastly, there is even some tribal markings that may emerge in a black, red or white light across her body to finalize the transformation.

Shikōkai Persona

Furious: Ibiki can be become totally enraged within this form. This is because her whole body is on fire, her blood is agitated and she is pushing herself to the utmost of her limit when in this transformation. Therefore, acts of violence and anger aren't out of the question with her. Screaming, mass murder, destruction and total contempt are keywords which help to summarize this trait while she is active in this release. However, she still possesses enough willpower to otherwise avoid gathering those she cares about, or are her allies, in the collateral of this.

Aggressive: The Oni Blood within Ibiki turns to a boiling point in her final release. The reason being is because her sense of aggression is amplified to great levels as it's in line with her "devil" like nature. As this is her zanpukto spirit in one of its most pristine and natural states. So she becomes more brutal as a result of this transformation. She isn't against using trashy language, devouring opponents, using heavy attacks or otherwise throwing her weight around. She will trample upon anything that gets in her way in order to achieve her goals; even if it is for the betterment of others.

Consumed: Ibiki seems to be entirely consumed by whatever ambition, goal or desire she has in her heart at the time of releasing this final transformation. It devours her mind, body, and spirit like a raging inferno and she will not stop until she able to attain that goal; or to die trying. While it can be seen as a very narrow line of thinking, Ibiki considers this to be a trait which greatly amplifies her willpower and sets her on a path to otherwise achieve it when in this form. Everything else becomes a blur and secondary to the objectives at hand in this form.

Shikōkai Power

Finale Point: Ibiki simply calls her Shikōkai power "Finale Point". The reason it is named that is because she attains the ability to otherwise bring an objective end to something with her will. It is said that we have willpower in order to reach a goal, complete a task or otherwise see the results of our hard work come to reality. Baring this theme in mind, Ibiki's willpower reaches an apex by forcibly bringing conclusions to existence and altering existence outright by injecting these end points into reality.

To get a better understanding of how this power works: there are multiple probabilities which are generated based on the projection of everyone's actions in the world. The results of our willpower can bring us to an ideal reality, or they can be misguided and brought to a hellish one. Therefore, Ibiki can visually see these pathways and bring them to life with Finale Point. As if someone tried to create an attack that could destroy a small nation, Ibiki could use Finale Point to summon a reality where that attack backfired, destabilized and exploded in on itself away from its intended target.

So, in a sense, one can think of this as event manipulation. She is tampering with the flow of events that occur in the world around her with her willpower and spiritual energy being the catalyst which can induce these effects. Therefore, this makes her an extremely dangerous opponent to face off against in her final release.

However, with a power like this, there are still limitations. One of the first is that there is energy constraints. For example, Ibiki could not force a conclusion of all life in the universe to reach it end because she simply does not have the power output to match that demand. Instead, she could try to use this on a person by punching them and injecting an end point reality where they eventually tire out and lose their energy if she wanted to drain them of their energy.

Furthermore, most of her attacks work best with direct application. While she can still use them remotely, her specialty is hand-to-hand and infusing these elements into the abilities will help to keep it's potency, accuracy, and strength. This power is also limited to 1-4 uses at a time in order to avoid over-spamming it during a combat thread. For this reason is why Ibiki tries to make every shot with this ability count. Since, as most know, there is a great time constraint when it comes to third releases and every second matters.

Lastly, this power is not absolute. The reason this is the case is because projections and end-points are always changing and shifting as we mutate and shift our will. So if Ibiki were to project this power on arrow heading her way, the opponent could attempt to change the trajectory of it to throw off the power. Ibiki will have numerous chances to later it before it reaches her.

Shikōkai Abilities/Techniques

Destruction Point: Destruction Point is a special technique which allows Ibiki to bring an end to occurrences around her by making it reach it's end point. If she were to embed her spiritual energy into her fist, punch the air and influence the particles of oxygen around her, Ibiki could destroy the construct of oxygen and remove it entirely from a large-scale area akin to a small town. In another illustration, she could use Destruction Point to destroy the energy reserves within an opponent if she were to land a direct hit on them. This could result in them being knocked out of their release form and possibly losing the ability to continue the fight.

So, from these illustrations, there are a lot of applications that this Destruction Point technique could have. However, it's most potent when being used with her hand-to-hand. As clashing aginst something solid and concrete will usually, produce better results than simply infusing it into the air around her. Additionally, this can only be used 1-4 times per post and it is better for her to focus on a few things at a time in order to generate the best effect.

• Mental Break: Mental Break is a technique that allows Ibiki to destroy constructs of the mind. This means that she can obliterate different types of mental diseases, mental blocks, traumas and other alignments of the mind with this power. Now, there is not a 100% chance of success with this power. For example, she could use Mental Break to destroy 50% of a person's mental trauma of they were consumed by something like PTSD. This would allow them to live a more normal life, but they'd still have the dread and anxiety associated with this disorder.
  
  Additionally, it can be used to also break different types of personality traits. These, however, will require the owner's permission. As, for instance, she could destroy a person's cowardice in order to grant them the last stepping stone towards having a greater willpower. Or she could destroy their lack of ambition to give birth to a new sense of drive within themselves. Furthermore, to inverse this ability, she can also try and destroy positive traits within her opponents. Such as attempting to temporarily destroy their tolerance for pain, break down their ability to focus and other similar feats. These will often only last a few posts, the duration of the thread or it could last a few threads based on what the characters owner wants, the variables associated with the battle and so on.
  
  
• Soul Eruption: Soul Eruption is a technique which otherwise destroys the inner world of a person. This can result in their powers, release forms and bound with their inner spirit(s) being broken depending on their race. However, like most of her techniques, this is not long-lasting. It will typically only last the duration of a thread, or one to two threads after. This is a move that is designed to try and end a fight because most opponents will have many of their resources cut off if she is able to destroy their inner core in some fashion or another. Granted, she must land a direct hit on their heart and stomach in order for this to activate. So this is not something that can be activated from afar and takes direction action to perform.
  
  
• Power Destruction: While this ability is active, Ibiki can break the powers of others with this technique. It will take a large amount of power, but if she has observed a special kind of power, ability, technique or transformation on a person or object; she can summon Finale Point in order to break it. She must have DIRECT contact with it and CANNOT remotely use it from a long-range distance. As this technique is too powerful to risk leaving to the abstract. However, it CAN be utilized from additional appendages generated from her energy. Such as if Ibiki had made arms or legs out of her spiritual energy.
  
  Now, with that said, once she is within striking distance, Ibiki will have to strike her opponent in the dead center of their chest and visualize the ability they saw. Then, it will embed itself within the foe and begin to travel within their power. Eventually, the will of Ibiki will scatter throughout their embodiment and otherwise use her spiritual energy as the medium to destroy and disable their powers. Though, these effects are NOT absolute NOR are they permanent. These effects will often only last a few posts, to the duration of the thread or 1-2 threads after. At some point, they will restore and these are all TEMPORARY in nature. This fact CANNOT be stressed enough.
  
  Additionally, this technique will have a two post cooldown before it can be used again and it may only be used up to three times per thread. So it is not something she uses without heavy consideration. If it is not utilized properly, then Ibiki can just outright end up injuring herself and she must have total control over it.
  
  
• Energy Erasion: Energy Erasion is just how it sounds: energy erasion. Ibiki is capable of destroying molecules of energy that are associated with her opponents attacks. However, this is typically done in a more short-range fashion or done in direct application. If applied through the air, Ibiki has less control because of how abstract it can become when using this technique. So, instead, Ibiki is more prone to do something like punching the ground and then having the technique be projected in the air by these shock waves.
  
  Once they have that medium, Ibiki can scatter it throughout a wide-scale area and neutralize the energy active in the area to create a dead-zone. Even going as far as to attempt to either reduce the amount of energy her opponents can output, or outright negating them and forcing them to fight with their brute strength. However, this is all temporary in nature. In 1-5 posts, the energy will typically restore itself and the area will go back to normal. This is more or less done in order to give herself a major advtange and get closer towards ending a fight when she needs to use this technique. Additionally, this technique is only capable of being used 1-2 times per post and has a 1-2 cooldown.
  
  
• Annihilation Enhancement [Active Technique]: While this ability is active, Ibiki can receive various types of recovery enhancements, multipliers, and mental boost from being around large scenes of destruction. However, the primary catch to this is that it cannot be any destruction that was generated from herself. It all has to be from the events surrounding her and being produced by anything and anyone that is not Ibiki. So, if an opponent were to obliterate everything within a mile, Ibiki could see a great boost in her mental stats, a 10-20% boost in extra energy to deal with or she'll feel a placebo-like effect where she feels more geared for combat than ever before.
  
  These boosts, by the way, do not include physical, speed or durability boosts of her body as most of those are already maxed out as is with her third release They mainly pertain to her powers, abilities, will or energy. She can also just enhance the powers and attributes of others around her if she wishes with this enhancement as well if her allies are tagged with her energy.

Acceleration Point: Acceleration Point is an ability technique that allows Ibiki to otherwise speed up the progression points of objects or people around her. For example, Ibiki could use Acceleration Point to speed up the decay of a sword and have it crumble and turn to dust if her attack was especially potent. Or, in the case of a person, she could deliver a drop kick to their head that would force the acceleration of strain on their body to make them more susceptible to injury, fatigue, and fainting or dying based on this ability accelerating their weaknesses.

• Energy Swipe: Energy Swipe is a useful technique in order to conclude a battle. The reason being is because it functions to accelerate the rate in which the opponent burns through their energy. For example, if Ibiki was able to hit an opponent dead in the face, she could activate Energy Swipe in order to make them exhaust high amounts of energy for each strike that she is able to land on them during that turn. If the damage rate gets high enough, they can see themselves running out of energy within 1-4 posts depending on how potent the attack was, how good their defenses are and other variables that occur in battle.
  
  
• Potential Surge: Potential Surge is a technique that Ibiki uses if she wants to accelerate the rate of growth associated with one of her allies powers, abilities or gifts. If they are struck by her in this release state, they will be given a passive ability that allows them accelerated growth. However, they must have at least a master level will in order to bestowed this potential surge. Additionally, they must first battle her to earn it and they must first have been bestowed a power blessing from her shikai.
  
  So, with these protocols out of the way, Potential Surge simply allows those she effects to learn things more quickly, enhance the time it takes for them to become more powerful and helps brings out more of their talents quicker if she decides to train them in this form. She can even outrate enhance the tier and skills of other users if the training is intensive enough. Though htis will also be at the digression of the staff in question to determine just how extensive they become in terms of upgrades.
  
  
• Decay Pulse [Short Range Technique]: Decay Pulse is a technique where Ibiki is capable of applying Acceleration Point to any point of her body. With Decay Pulse, she can accelerate the rate of decay on an object or person. Which means that in combat she could potentially use this in order to accelerate the decay of stamina, durability or offensive power in an opponent to bring them to their knees. She could also accelerate the severity of their injuries, diseases or any kind of sickeness they may have and aggrivate it. If it were an object like a sword, then she could also accelerate the rate of decay on it in order to bring it to the point of being as dull as a kitchen knife.
  
  
• Accelerated Mind [Passive Technique]: Accelerated Mind can be considered a passive technique. It automatically activates as soon as Ibiki goes into her third release. Essentially, it increases the speed in which her mind moves at. She is capable of enhancing her senses, perception, speed at which she can learn and process thought at all at ten times the rate of her base form. So this is considered a tremenderous leap in intelligence; and it is much needed when one considers the nature of complexity assoicated with her powers.
  
  
• Rapid Regeneration: Ibiki's body is capable of regenerating at high-speeds while in her third release. She can recover from broken bones, ruptured organs and mass blood lost rather easily with the amount of energy she has at her dispoal in this form. However, that does NOT equal to her restoring hte reserves of energy that are expended trying to maintain her power while in this third release. So she can restore the lost of an arm within mere seconds, but she will still lose energy from her body as a result of it. Eventually, when she runs out of energy, she will not be able to rengerate again.
  
  Growth Injection: Growth Injection is a free-form technique. Essentially, Growth Injection allows her more abstract form of Acceleration Point to be infused into the world around her. However, this requires more control, focus and discipline to manage than all of the other techniques thus far. She has to make exact calculations within her mind and have a STRONG vision of what she wants to do with the Growth Injection. As she could use Growth Injection to try and accelerate the growth of power within herself, but that's being rather vague and could simply increase the power to the point where she tires herself out in one post.
  
  Instead, the proper way to use it would be to visualize her muscles becoming enriched, empowered and made to become resistant so that they could have a 1.5x increase in durability and strength if she wanted to make an enhancement to herself or others. Therefore, one can consider the protocols associated with this technique is that she must be PRECISE and EXACT with the measurements tethered with this technique. Otherwise, things can easily be canceled out, made unstable or not work the way they were intended to. It is also assumed to be difficult to control as this technique is often used abstractly through her energy. And, since Ibiki is a short range and hand-to-hand fighter, this adds another layer of complication to the technique and why she prefers to stick with short-range combat by applying it to her body.
  

Collapse Point: This can be considered a defensive and counter based ability/technique. Collapse Point essentially works by Ibiki generating a high volume of spiritual energy. Once Finale Point's power has been focused into the particles of reaitsu and reishi associated with Ibiki's power, The energy produced can then be spread however she wishes and be ready to activate. As, once this move is used, Collapse Point has the ability to collapse events around her body or through her energy.

To give an illustration of this ability: Ibiki can be surrounded by an attack that has a seal which is going to kill her spirit if it makes contact. Provided she has time to react, Ibiki can use Collapse Point to destroy that reality and defend herself against this negative reality. The same can be applied to others if she sees something horrible occurring. If someone had their Soul Chain destroyed, Ibiki could use her Collapse Point to reject that reality and shatter the influences of events which resulted in them losing their power and having their Zanpukto restored in the process

• Rupture Shield: Rupture Shield is a technique that allows for Ibiki to negate the influences of attacks on her body while it is active. The technique begins by Ibiki summoning a large volume of her spiritual energy. Then, once this process is done, her body will erupt into a crimson and gold fire. This will represent Finale Point being activated and she will then be able to activate her Collapse Point ability to make this technique function.
  
  When active, Rupture Shield can reject and collapse the reality of supernatural attacks around Ibiki. For example, someone who was trying to slow and delay the flow of time around Ibiki could find their ability either ceasing to work or not working as effectively as they hoped. This is because Collapse Point is outright shattering the will of the opponent and eradicating the sequence of events which lead to their attacks creation in favor of an alternative reality where Ibiki is either not harmed, or the attack in question is weakened.
  
  With that said, this does not seem to appear to work much on more straight forward attacks such as physical assaults. Things like sword strikes, punches/kicks, hakuda and other similar methods of attack won't see as much of an extensive of an effect. Additionally, those with high willpowers can attempt to try and break the shield if they are aware of her powerset. Since those with high willpower may infuse their will into their attacks to give them a better chance of at least causing more damage to her
  
  
• Event Flux: Event Flux is an ability where Ibiki is able to cancel out attacks, abilities, equipment and other unnatural occurrences across a large scale area of effect. It begins by her infusing a great sum of spiritual energy into any part within or around her body. This can range from her skin, mouth, lungs, fist, limbs, head or even the horns upon her head. Then, once a channeling point has been decided by Ibiki, she'll trigger her Collapse Point ability and begin her Event Flux technique.
  
  Most will know this ability is active because the channel points on her body will erupt into a bright white light and they will feel a great sum of spiritual energy crushing the area. This will then be her cue to smash into the earth or heavens around her in order to produce shock waves that spread for many hundreds of meters all around Ibiki. These shock waves are meant to carry Event Flux and this ability is meant to try and shatter the existence of abilities on play in the field around her.
  
  So, if someone had a barrier up while this was active, Event Flux would try and stabilize it to make it shatter. If an opponent was trying to use some type of reality warping technique against her? That to would be collapsed and nulled if Event Flux was activated first. Now, with that said, this isn't absolute. Opponents can still move out of the range of effect, they can increase the potency of their attacks to shield them from being so breakable (i.e. adding more will/energy into it ) and this will interact quite variable with all sorts of different abilities. So it's by no means the end all of be all. These are just Event Flux's intended occurrences if it is allowed to have full effect on a target.
  
  As a side note, Ibiki can use a smaller scale version of this for just her punches and kicks. So she could infuse most of the strikes made in her attacks to be constrained to her hands and feet so that they could create smaller, more manageable ripples on the attacks they come into contact with.

It is said that most of the abilities that The Suika Tribe have are based around traits associated with that of an Oni. So it is no surprise that their bloodline is capable of having these attributes pop up in various Suika Tribe Members. Below are the most common ones listed and often times Suika Tribe Members can have up to three of these at the start. It is possible to later grow additional traits, but that takes training and evolution.

Oni Path Of Strength: This is the front liner of abilities for The Suika Clan. The bulk of the tribe is often known throughout the rukongai for their vicious and demonic-like strength. Essentially, Suika Tribe Members already have a large volume of food that their body breaks down into various proteins. This is because most Suika Tribe members are required a huge sum of nutrition due to the demands their body requires. Once it is digested, it is broken down into supernatural proteins that gives it the proper growth needed to fuel their muscles.

Then, by pushing themselves to the limit with their training/fights, the micro-tears in their muscle fibers repairs at abnormal rates due to this digestion ability + supernatural energy fueling it's repair. And since they recover from their regenerative properties quickly, it is possible for rabid muscle gains and durability + strength to be made the more a Suika Tribe Member fights and trains.

This has then led the the infamous knowledge that many of The Suika Tribe's member can often even become stronger by defeat. For, if they push themselves in combat hard enough, they can progressively get stronger throughout each training session, sparring match, battle waged or war fought. From this attribute, they've often been thought of as Shinigami with a great potential for rabid growth if put under the correct circumstances of constantly fighting against abnormal combat situations.

Furthermore, once they've mastered their Shikai, it is possible for their strength to even effect the metaphysical and supernatural. How so? By becoming highly attuned to their Zanpukto and spiritual energy, it is possible for their reaitsu to fuse into their body and evolve their bodies to naturally being able to pierce through magic, supernatural or other types of metaphysical assaults. So, to provide an example, it is possible for a Suika Tribe member who is 2-1 to be able to destroy, lessen or deflect something like an electric bolt fired off from a lightning based Zanpukto if their strength is strong enough.

Granted, they should be careful not to wear themselves down when applying their strength to that level. That is because they are still physical creatures in the sense that they can tire out similarly to an athlete pushing themselves. They'll begin to feel muscle soreness, strain and eventually sluggishness if they do not allow themselves proper time to recover from these extents of otherworldly strength.

[It is possible for those even on the three and four tier to receive advanced strength as well at the start of their application. However, in exchange, they will have to lower one or more of their skills. These can range from mental, racial or natural skills.]

Demon's Skin: This is often considered the second most primary trait of The Tribe. Along with their strength, many of The Suika Tribe are known for their capacity to take abuse. A good majority of them are born with abnormally dense body-tissue, skin, muscles, bones and organs. This then allows them to take crushing blow after crushing blow with relative stride. Their bodies are able to resist assaults that crush their bone with great potency and anything that would otherwise damage their muscles.

Furthermore, much like their strength, once a Suika Tribe member masters their shikai, they are often able to better endure supernatural attacks to a great degree. For, their spiritual energy will have infused into their body at 2-1 and provide passive assistance. So, if a kido assault that generated an explosive burst of energy was fired at a Suika Tribe member, they could reduce fifteen to twenty percent of it by default at 2-1. Once they grew to 1-3, it is possible for them to null twenty five percent of it. And, once they reach 0 tier, this goes up by five percent for every level of 0 tier. Ultimately leading to fifty percent at 0-1 tier; should a Suika Tribe member ever reach that level of strength.

PASSIVE TRAITS

High Endorphin Release: Although most write off the Suika Tribe as a band of brutes, lunkheads and overall idiots, outside of combat -- most of these tribesmen are quite creative, friendly and jovial to be around. This is because the amount of endorphin that is generated within a Suika Tribe members body is ten times higher than the average human or Shinigami's body. And, as they become stronger, this elation only becomes stronger and more potent. For, this effect is stimulated by the fact that their bodies are always constantly being pushed to the extreme, so the reward is that they have a constant sensation of joy and happiness.

In turn, this has then led to them achieving a high level of social intelligence, creative intelligence and peace of mind. Often times they can be the life of the party because they always feel charged and full of energy. This makes them rather sociable and easy to be around. Or, in other cases, they can turn into great poets, creative writers or even artist because their mind is constantly painting vivid scenes of pleasure in their mind and they can channel that into varying different outfights. And lastly, meditation comes quite easily to most of the Suika Tribe members because their body is often in such a peaceful and serene state from this state of constant endorphin release.

Some have even used this talent to outright come out with abstract ways to further their training, understand their zanpukto or increase their strength. As, depending on their onihood, many types of Suika Tribe members have varied regime's of training to reach their goals of evolution.


Ridiculous Alcohol Tolerance: Don't try it. Don't think it. Don't even speak about it. The alcohol tolerance of The Suika Tribe is second to none. They crave alcohol no other being and can consume massive volumes of it at a single time. The stronger they become, the more fierce this tolerance enhances itself. It has reached a point where Ibiki Suika herself stated that she can endlessly drink her liquor and never succumb to fatal symptoms of alcohol poisoning. Her mind may alter from being under the influence, but her body will die from it. So don't do it. Don't try to out drink a Suika Tribe member.

Alcohol Boost: Most Suika Tribe members do experience a high spike in elation when they drink large quantities of Alcohol . This then turns them into believing that they've gained a massive physical buff, but in reality it is nothing more than a psychological booster. It helps them to focus better, improve their endurance to pain, helps them channel their creativity and otherwise serves to bolster their mood to better face off against stressful situations; combat or non-combat related. So if a Suika Tribe member is strained or stressed, give them a good deal of booze and they'll be back to cloud nine soon enough. It's their natural anti-depressant.

Vast Hunger And Thirst: Due to the high amount of energy that their bodies demand in order to stay in peak physical condition at all times, The Suika Clan are known to be a tribe of Shinigami that consume vast quantities of food and water. Whatever a normal person eats? A Suika Tribe Member eats four times that. And the more powerful they become, the more food they often require. It even reached a point where Ibiki Suika herself developed a technique to produce infinite booze in order to help sedate her thirst. Without proper nutrition, a Suika Tribe member can become weakened. So they often eat a diet rich in meats, liquor, vegetables and whatever else they can take from the land.

(Bonus: They aren't a clan known to like sweet tasting things. This is due to the fact that their taste buds are often altered to seek out the most enriching foods. So, in some cases, Suika Tribe members break out into a disorder that makes them eat dirt, pure iron, zinc and other minerals to make them stronger. They often call it "Endo Resu Endo Resu", or "Endless Hunger")

Strong Immune System: As a passive trait, most of the The Suika Tribe does have a tendency to produce Shinigami who have tenacious immune systems. This made possible in part by a few factors. The first factor is the fact that their bodies are often in peak physical condition when it comes to their natural traits. That is, they are comparable to athlete's in their prime even when at tier levels comparable to human's or low-level hollow's. Henceforth, their natural immunities are bolstered to that allow them to overcome illnesses and diseases more quickly than other Shinigami. Those on the stronger side can even recover from toxins, poisons and other alignments within an hour; such as the case with Ibiki Suika.(And potentially less than that if empowered or augmented.)

Secondly, while excessive consumption of alcohol normally impairs the immune system and increases vulnerability to lung infections, the opposite is true for The Suika Clan. The more booze they consume, the more powerful their immune system becomes. It is apart of the reason why Ibki Suika herself tends to drink as much as she does. Liquor is considered such a rich nourishment to their bodies that it is even said that booze is what allows The Suika Tribe to stay in such pristine health. Even throughout their old age, most of their internals can be spry as a child if they continue ingesting large volumes of alcohol into old age.

So, in short, while they may not have absolute immunity to diseases, sickness and toxins; you'll find it mighty difficult to poison, sicken or make ill a Suika Tribe member. Especially if they are on the more powerful end of the spectrum.

THE ONI'S MASK

Devil Nature

This is considered to be one of the Suika Tribes ultimate family abilities. It is referred to as "The Devil's Essence", "Oni Nature" and "Devil's Face" within the tribe. For the requirements below, you will soon find out why these titles are so apply applied:

1. The user must have an in-depth knowledge of their inner world, abilities and sense of self. This can be achieved through finding themselves in the world, challenging themselves, meditation and things of this caliber. If you do not understand your Oni-Nature, then you will not succeed in manifesting The Devil's Nature.

2. Often times, you must have the age between 60-100 years old in order to be eligible for a Devil's Nature to be unlocked with your character. This is because it takes a full human's life in order for a Suika Tribe member to understand who they are and have a decent command over their powers.

3. You should at least be 3-3 before unlocking The Devil's Nature. This is because it takes a fair bit of training and energy to sustain.

With the requirements understood, The Devil's Nature is fabled to be one of the ultimate abilities that Suika member can possess. Why is that so? The reason for this stigma is because it captures the essence of The Oni evolution The Suika Tribe member underwent and brings it to its utmost peak no matter what form they are in. So, that means it can be utilized in a base, Shikai, Bankai or even Shikokai itself.

It often takes the form of a traditional Japanese oni mask, but there have been known to be formations so long as it pertains to a folklore associated with Japanese mythology. This is what primarily separates them from being confused with Vizards. Furthermore, their mask is born from the users own spiritual energy. So, once a Suika Tribe member unlocks it, they can chose to keep it sealed within themselves to summon at their leisure. Or, in the case of others, always keep a physical copy on hand at all times.

But more importantly, once the mask is dawned, it will stay fused until the user either runs out of power or decides to deactivate the form. And, unlike Vizards, there is no way to remove it until either of those situations occur. The only real way to do it would be to rip off their head or kill them because The Devil Essence becomes one with the user and it would be akin to taking a limb or two off of them.

Digressing, this prime essence can manifest in many different ways. For instance, if there was Devil's Essence that unlocked an Oni's Nature who took on more malicious traits, then their Devil's Essence would reflect a feral form. This savagery would alter their personality to make it more aggressive, null the sensation of pain entirely and bolster their augmentations by two times in base, three times in Shikai, four times in shikai and five times in Shikokai.

So, because of this, there is often a warning and omen for Suika Tribe members to have the utmost of control of themselves, their powers, zanpukto and sense of mind when wanting to attain this family ability. If their element is one they cannot control, or one that evolves into a true beast, they may very well lose their minds in the process until the mask runs out of juice.

Ergo, below is how long The Devil Essence can last based per tier:

0 Tier: Twenty post in base. Ten post in Shikai. Seven post in Bankai. Three post in Shikokai.
1 Tier: Fifteen post in base. Eight post in Shikai. Five post in Bankai.
2 Tier: Eight post in base. Four post in Shikai.
3 Tier: Four post in base.

With that said, it can also only be used once per thread!

Having laid that out, the benefits will once again be laid out and the drawbacks.

Benefits/Drawback

Each active ability has a benefit and drawback. Below you'll see them.

Physical Appearance: Often times, when a Suika Tribe member achieves their Devil Essence, an alteration of some kind will occur. Skin may become darkened or reddened, their spiritual energy may shift or turn into multiple colors, their Zanpukto may alter somewhat or other similar changes may occur. These adjustments often reflect their Oni Essence as well. So, if you had a Suika Tribe member whose spirit reflected that of an Oni who relied on brute strength, then chances are their Devil Essence would look wild in appearance. Bigger horns, larger fangs, longer hair and a raging aura are all possible things that could occur while in Devil Essence.

Augmentation: There is a potential for augmentation of all their abilities and attributes. This ranges from two times in base, three times in Shikai, four times in Bankai and five in Shiokai. However, when it comes to augmentations, they must be considered carefully when used in released states. This is because it can be taxing on the body and cause immense strain when they release their mask. These can range from damaged organs, bones being cracked or broke or just an overall sense of fatigue. So, if they utilize them in release, they must aim to finish the fight swift and fast.

Prime Health: A Suika Tribe member is considered their most dangerous while their Devil Essence state is active for this trait alone. Any damage that they previously sustained is restored and ignored for the duration that their Devil Mask is merged with them. However, what is more important to pay witness to is the fact that their health and energy can exceed far beyond their natural limits. In base alone, A Suika Tribe member's health can extend pass the realm of 100% into 200% terrority. While, in Shikai, this further evolves into a 300% increase. In Bankai, this jumps to 400% and lastly to 500% in Shikokai.

Now, one may wonder: what exactly does this translate to? And it is simple: a person can think of it as a health bar type of system. Normally, a person would have 100/100 HP while in their regular states. Well, when Devil's Essence kicks in, this can boost them to 200/100, 300/100, 400/100 and 500/100 to prevent the time it takes for their Devil Essence to start taking damage. Even more than that, this applies to their MP as well to the point where they are capable of ascending one to three tiers higher than they normally are while in this state. [With staff approval] This can then lead to the potential of temporarily 0-1's being formed and most of their natural traits being boosted by one level.

This then makes it extremely difficult for their foe to impede them because it will take some time before their rampage is stopped.Therefore, as a drawback, they often receive most of their old injuries as soon as the juice from their Devil Essence State runs out. And, on top of that, they will often incur further injury from pushing themselves that hard. Things such as broken bones, ruptured organs, extreme fatigue, blinding headaches, dizziness, dulled senses and other types of bodily side effects are possible depending on how far they went into their Devil Masked States. This is why it must be used with caution and why it is often reserved for a final move of sorts.

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 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.

EQUIPMENT

Item Name: T-Shells
Item Type: Supplemental

Used For: The T-Shells are primarily used for her work-outs, battles or training. They are designed to give her a supplemental boost in physical strength so that she can use her raw power for longer periods without tiring out her body so quickly. Later in the battle, however, they can be used in order to recover some of her strength, stamina, speed and so on.

Item Description:

T-Shells: T-Shells essentially contain a conditional amino acid called Taurine. Now, while most natural Taurine is known to be found in dietary sources, this one seems to be produced by supernatural means. This is because it has been enhanced with spiritual power in order to induce it's Physiological values to a greater scale in comparison to someone like Ibiki's power.

After ingesting these pills, Ibiki's cardiovascular system will see a dramatic boost in performance. This will lead to her cardiac muscles being enhanced and the overall function of her body dramatically increasing. This influence can even be seen right down to her skeletal muscles and can improve her exercise capacity and physical attributes.

Now, what exactly is the measurement of scale that these shells enhance her ability? Well, if Ibiki takes before a battle, she will often be able to fight with a much stronger impact during her base form. As it will increase her strength by 1.7 times in all states. If she were to take three pills at a time, then she would be able to see a 5.1 increase in power; but the duration of the boost would more than likely be shortened due to the tripled strain on her body.

So, with that said, these pills will often increase her stamina, endurance, durability, speed and strength by 1.7 times. With that said, this only applies to her physical body. These buffs do not apply to anything supernatural. Granted, she can try and convert her muscle power into energy through her Resolve Force, but she will have to focus and concrete for that to work properly.

Limit: Ibiki is only capable of taking three Taurine pills at a time. The effects will often last for roughly five to ten post before having a two to three post cooldown before she can use them again. Additionally, she may only take ten per thread at a maximum before her body will be unable to break down the components of the pills. Thus, she often prefers to use them before a fight if she is battling against something potent or if she wants to last longer. Then, later on in the clash, she will take it again during its peak in order to regain her strength back and increase her health by ten to twenty-five percent in order to fight longer.

Obtained From:

Research Division: The idea was originally Ibiki's, but she eventually turned to the Research Division within the Gotei in order to mass produce these pills. It is said that she handed over the blueprints to their design to all those who were able to understand them. Then, she showed them how to create the shells and how to infuse the taurine with their spiritual energy. From there, they increased a capsule to contain the supernaturally enhanced taurine in and are now working towards rapidly providing these in combat for anyone apart of the Gotei Reformed so that they can last longer in any type of war they may come across.

Yen Price: 10,000,000 yen.

Notes: If there are any problems, feel free to let me know. I will correct them. Also, Ibiki can give these pills out to other members in the Gotei Reformed. As she was the head behind this research and oversaw it's development.

Item Name: Devil Bonds
Item Type: Enhancement

Used For: Training

Item Description: The Devil Bonds are a series of shackles that the user must wear for a duration of 1-3 threads. The length of time that it takes to master this equipment will vary on the intensity of the training, the dedication of the user and how strong they are. Lesser powerful Shinigami will see quicker gains out of this equipment, while more powerful ones will take longer to master and hone.

With that said, these are meant to suppress and constrict the capacities of the shinigami by 75%. This means their overall energy output, strength, speed and so on are restricted by 3/4. The only thing will not change is their durability so that they do not die during the training. As this device is meant to act as a form of weighted training for the spiritual and physical body.

The user is intended to train or fight with it. The reason being is because they will feel an immense amount of strain because their potential is being heavily suppressed and weighed down. So under even regular combat circumstances, the user will be put into a dire situation and this will help unlock the stipulations of Ibiki's "Critical Condition" training. As these chains were created by her "Resolve Force" ability and feeds off the users determination and will. It is then able to transfer that metaphysical trait, convert it into tangible power and make them stronger the longer and harder they train with it.

Thus, to repeat: the user MUST push themselves in order to see the gains. As, if they complete their training with these cuffs, they will have a much higher probability rate of reaching a new tier faster, unlocking new skills, discovering new forms and increasing the limitations of their body to new horizons. Since it is possible, for instance, to see a one to two skill level jump in their general strength or durability while wearing this and undergoing training or fighting. And mental skills will generally have the highest chance of developing because of the fact this piece of equipment is a construct of determination formed into the material world and bounded with the host.

Notes: This is primarily meant to be used to help enhance Shinigami characters with their training who are apart of the Gotei or Kenpachi Foundation. As I'm planning on using this as a tool to help accelerate character development.

Item Name: Reaper Drops
Item Type: Aid

Used For: Combat

Item Description: Reaper Drops are a piece of equipment developed by Ibiki Suika and the combat division. Essentially, they are a small black pill that a Shinigami will ingest before, after or during a fight. It will take a few seconds to activate, but once it does, the nerve endings in their body will be greatly diminished. This is because this drug blocks out mass messages of pain to the brain once it has time to spread throughout the user's blood.

Since, as soon as it's digested, it dissolves, breaks up and spreads throughout their body. And, with the metaphysical modifications through Ibiki's Resolve Force, she has GREATLY improved the rate of time this all takes. And, due to that powers influence, the user will also see a secondary effect of feeling a second wind within themselves. This is because it will enhance their willpower by one level for a duration of five post. Additionally, the pain suppression itself will last for about seven post before the effects begin to wear off.

It does not matter if their arm has been cut off, organs crushed or bones broken; this drug will heavily numb most injuries as long as the user can somehow integrate it into their body. However, with that being said, this can only be used.two times per thread and has a five post cooldown before it can be used again.

Item Name: Reaper Shield
Item Type: Aid

Used For: Defense

Item Description: The Reaper's Shield is a diamond shaped badge that is the size of a fully grown adult human's hand. It is mostly black, but seems to have gold plated edges around its ends. And, towards the center of it, The Kenpachi symbol can be seen engraved within white.

Now, the purpose of this badge is to allow a greater means of defense during wartime situations. So The Reaper Shield's possess a high volume of spiritual energy that was siphoned from Ibiki Kenpachi and utilized her Resolve Force ability to fuel its abilities. As The Reaper's Shield is capable of forming an indigo aura around the user who adorns this badge on their body. And it can be comparable to a master hierro because it is fueled by the immaterial force of Ibiki's will converted into a tangible form of energy via the particles of her spiritual energy being the catalyst for this energy.

So, for instance, it would be able to withstand attacks which could otherwise destroy entire small towns, potent master-level kido or master level cero blast. And it is GREATLY capable of resisting most means of mental manipulation if one were to negatively influence the will of a character who had this shield active. Additionally, it will also attempt to purge any toxins or foreign alignments that are plaguing a user by flushing them out of their system and sending the particles of energy associated with the shield to dissolve them a microsporic level until they are burned to cinders.

Now, with that said, this is not something that is infinite. The Reaper Shields can only withstand so much repetitive damage before they break and grow dull. Too many heavy hits to this shield will cause it to buckle and give way because that is the nature of armor. So the Shinigami in question must know when to activate this armor and when to deactivate it. As they will need to return it to the Research Division of the Gotei Reformed in order to have it repaired; or to the combat division.

Ergo, to prevent that, the shield will more than likely shut itself and conserve power when it is on the breaking point. It will warn the user by turning a bright shade of gray and letting out a whirring sound (optional) when it is about to perform this function. Hence, there does not appear to be a time limit for how long this shield can remain active, but there is a damage limit and repeated heavy strikes or high quantity attacks will crack or break it. [I.E. multiple direct hits from a master level cero could crack it and shatter it]

It's also worth noting that damage and injury can still occur while wearing this armor. As it does not make them impervious to damage, but it merely acts as a way to shock and absorb the brunt of the damage from harming the user. So while something a nuclear explosion going off within a small portion of a city wouldn't kill them, but they could still have bits and pieces of pressure seep into the shield and begin to strain their body.

Item Name: Project W.I.N.G.
Item Type: Multi-Type

Used For: Multi-Purpose

Item Description: Project WING is an instrument of defense used for the people of the Rukongai. Within the heavens of the Soul Society is an aerial form of defense that is generated through the high volumes of reishi that are already current present in the air. Sealed within micromachines no larger than a particle, these millions of machines monitor the Soul Society and are designed to pick up on dangerous threats. These reports are transmitted back to the Research Division of the Gotei and the members of this faction are then able to determine whether or not to have the defenses activate.

As the micromachines are all tethered together and form a network of defenses when times of danger arrive within the land. This is because they are capable of guiding the reishi of the Soul Society, harnessing it and then using that power to vanquish threats. For example, project WING could be used in the event of an invading war. If an invader were to come, then they would notice a hailstorm of various energy blast being drowned out through the skies.

However, it is not limited to energy attacks. One Project WING is synchronized to Gotei officials, or approved mediums (such as Iramasha Union Members, Soul King, Royal families etc), then large-scale remote operations can be performed. As it would be capable of raining down tsunami waves of kido in order to purge a threat once the proper clearances and protocols have been authorized.

In fact, it can even be used to send high volumes of energy to allies and operatives of the Gotei Reformed. Such as if one person from the Gotei was injured, this energy could be sent from the skies, injected into the shinigami, synchronized to their body and can be used to restore their energy levels. If a healer were to use this, then they could possibly even replicate the particles of their spiritual energy throughout this network and heal remotely to avoid being injured easily.

With that said, there are limitations to this. One of the first is that there is only so much the payload of Project WING can take. It is capable of defending large-scale regions equal to cities, but it is not an infinite source. The nanomachines can break down, be destroyed or outright blocked by various sealing or barrier-making methods. Furthermore, it takes time to process the transferrals and it can sometimes take 1-3 post for it to take effect.

Along with that, Project WING is also susceptible to human error. This is because most threats are analyzed, reported and documented by the operators in a remote facility within the Gotei. So these people will decide whether or not to allocate resources or not.

Lastly, while there is a mass supply of reishi within the Rukongai, it is not infinite. If they drain this resource, it may take days for it to reform and they will need to monitor how they utilize this in a wartime scenario. As they have a vast pool of energy to work with it, but it needs to be managed properly.

Obtained From:

Gotei Reformed: Ibiki Suika had been behind this mission and made the blueprints with it alongside the combat squad. Together with her power, their resources and the intelligence of the research department and clearance from the Soul King; they all pulled in and made this project work.

Yen Price: 100,000,000

Notes: In order for the authorized mediums to use the project, they will need to connect to the network with a special badge that will be kept track of in a tracker thread that will be made after this. It is called the "Wing Clearance" and will connect them to Project WING.

It's also worth noting that this can be extended to cover the Seireitei as well.


Item Name: Kenpachi's Haori
Item Type: Aid

Used For: Combat

Item Description: Kenpachi's Haori is the same Haori that most Captains from the 11th division wore throughout the years prior to Ibiki's ownership of the 11th Division. It is jagged and edged from years of extensive use, but Ibiki has held on to this item for sentimental purposes. And it is through these sentiments that her Resolve Force once again mutated and went to work.

As when she is wearing this item, there is a sense of additional willpower that swells up within her. For it is the weight of all generations of Kenpachi before her that shine when she wears this garment and it is their continued will that flows through her. Hence, from the faint remains of spiritual energy from entities like Kenpachi's like Zaraki and Unohana who wore this so excessively; their energy can occasionally be felt emitting from this haori when Ibiki is powered up.

Additionally, when this sensation occurs, there appears to be a sense of amplified and razor sharp energy that surges and swells around the jacket. While most who are ally or friend to Ibiki will not be harmed by it, they will notice this immense sensation of knives and swords cutting against one another flowing from her aura when this haori is worn. This is because it acts as a form of armor and will cut through most unpowered attacks. One touch of the haori from an enemy and they will feel as if their hands, swords or attacks were ground up in a meat shredder because of the savage will of the Kenpachi that flows through this haori.

It stands to reason that it can even tank grand master level attacks because this is being empowered by her Resolve Force. As Resolve Force itself brings tangible change and power from Ibiki's will power into the material world. However, everything has a limit; including these monsters might. This effect will dull and lessen the more it is taxed and used in battle intensively, but it is a testament to the Kenpachi resolve and is something to be cherished by Ibiki.

Item Name: Zaraki's Eyepatch
Item Type: Aid

Used For: Combat/Enhancement

Item Description: Zaraki's Eyepatch is exactly as it sounds: it is the eyepatch which once belonged to Kenpachi Zaraki. This was a remnant of his attire that was found in the barracks of the combat division squad. Ibiki took this object, infused it with her willpower and used it as another sentimental object she turns to for a source of additional resolve.

Now, the reason why it is such a sacred object to her is because it was a mark of his captaincy. It is the tool he used to restrain his might from obliterating many weaker foes so that he may enjoy the art of combat to it's fullest. So, from this eyepatch that had seen many centuries of bloodlust loving combat, Ibiki has placed her own spiritual to be set in-tune with the residue of Kenpachi's spiritual energy that had once so been furiously sealed within this object.

Hence, instead of being used to seal and suppress, Ibiki's usage of this eyepatch has been reversed to unleash and empower. As when she wears this eyepatch, Ibiki is able to see an increase in the amount of willpower that flows throughout her body. It is as if she is transforming herself into the monster that Kenpachi once was and being overfilled with a high volume of new energy. And there is a bit of truth behind it.

Zaraki's Eyepatch has now been remolded by Ibiki's own power in order to store and seal away portions of her energy when she trains with it, meditates with it or fights with it. This means that instead of constantly restricting her, it is eating away at her body and taking pieces of her energy to store for later use. As it incubates her will and energy, allows it to fester and when she lets it loose -- it turns her into a complete monster.

As she is capable of storing roughly half of her overall base energy within this eyepatch. So, if she were worn down and beaten within a fight, she could restore her energy and will reserves by upwards of half if she were to adorn this item during a fight. For, in other words, if she had been fighting at 50% energy, this eyepatch could return her to 100% if used. And, if she was to adorn this during the fight, then she could tack it on to her current reserves and fight at 150% of her energy.

With that said, there are a few stipulations to this. One of the first is, that in order to activate the ENERGY abilities of this eyepatch, Ibiki must be facing a worthwhile foe that gets the blood boiling. As something like this must be used against an opponent that would get a Kenpachi's combative spirit boiling and ready to fight. Second, if this first protocol is not met, then the ability will not work and it may end up only taking away 25% of her remaining energy. So, Ibiki were at 100%, but used this eyepatch against a foe who did not meet her standards of excitement, then it would drain her to 75% and it would be deemed inefficient.

Hence, there is some risk to this and Iibki most evaluate when to use this equipment after engaging in combat or understanding who she is fighting against prior to a battle.

Item Name: Sealing Gourd
Item Type: Sealing

Used For: Sealing

Item Description: The Sealing Gourd is a rather large gourd that is brown in color and has a red tie fastened around the center of it. This equipment is primarily used in order to try and seal different types of attacks and people within it. It works by the user first implanting portions of their spiritual energy into the gourd. Then they must be able to guide the stream of power which is generated within the gourd towards the intended targets. Therefore, if they were trying to seal a mass fire attack, they would have to direct the particles of their spiritual energy towards the target.

Once this is done, the gourd will activate and take portions of the user's energy in exchange for the action. A powerful vortex of wind and attraction will draw different types of objects, material, and people into it until they are broken, compressed and sealed within the object. These can be useful for the Gotei if they were to use these in mass number to try and seal off enemy attacks, apprehend wanted fugitives and so on.

The primary drawback with this is that there is only so much volume of mass and energy that this gourd can sustain. For example, it could swallow up something like a grand ray cero, but multiple grand ray cero's would require the Sealing Gourd to either be operated by someone with a high level of spiritual energy or multiple different Sealing Gourd's would have to be used to seal it. Additionally, while the gourd has a durability equal to an advanced level hierro user, it can still take on damage and be broken if enough impact is made against it.

Notes: Here is what the item looks like

Theme
INVASION METAL ~ RANBIRD
CLICK THE YOUTUBE BAR ABOVE TO LISTEN

Tsubasa Unabara: Ibiki considers Tsubasa to be one of her few close friends. She considers him this because he has been there by her side throughout many of the incidents, events and wars that had taken place since her rise to Vice Captain and eventually Captain since 2412. [App Link]

Neviah Clixx: This is like a sister to her because she has taken to overseeing her growth so much. Therefore, their relationship is held in a high regard for Ibiki and she wants the best for her. However, since her absence, Ibiki has grown concerned and has helped to relatively stress her mind out with other matters compiling on that. [App Link]

Eliah Tsundora: Ibiki considers Eliah to be a close friend due to the fact that they've bonded relatively over the past few years. Being that she was often seen at Neviah's side in most of their threads, The Kenpachi started to understand her better and look out for her like a little sister. Eventually, when Neviah left, she took it upon herself to fully look after her, train her and otherwise be there for her both emotionally and as a friend. [App Link]

Humans: Ibiki considers the human race to be allies. This is due to the fact that she is often quite used to dealing with them through constant missions of the Gotei 13. She sees them as a race that can be protected, or fight on their own. There are many paths a human can take, but that doesn't mean they can't stand to have a helping hand now and again. Overall, her viewpoint of them is good.

Shinigami: At the moment, Ibiki feels that her race needs to step up and become stronger. This is because they have been gradually becoming less disciplined over the years and they need to realize their former glory. Therefore, she will do what it takes in order to make them see that potential once again. Outside of that, though, she does have a comradely with most Shinigami and sees them as her brethren.

Vizards: Ibiki doesn't see what the big fuss is over Vizards. As long as they have not allowed themselves to be taken over by their inner hollow, she accepts them as she would a Shinigami. Otherwise, if they ally themselves with hollowkind, they are her enemy and should be slain or avoided.

Iramasha: There isn't much negative thought when it comes to the Iramasha. The reason for this is because she just sees them as allies of good, if not a bit inactive and lazy at times. However, it is better than no help. Other then that, she doesn't have much of anything else to base a strong emotion of when it comes to Iramasha.

Demons: Ibiki has done a bit of research and considers most modern demons to be a bane on the world. She doesn't inherently hate them all or anything like that, but she feels most of them are blinded by the current rule. Therefore, she will do what it takes if a demon should otherwise oppose her goals of revitalizing the Soul Society and Gotei 13. So far, her viewpoint on this race leans towards the negative, but she still keeps an open mind that not all of them are bad. Just far too many of them.

Arrancar/Hollows: Unlike demons, more often than not, hollows can be mindless and should be purified as soon as possible. This is to otherwise release spirits from their torment and give them another chance at life. Granted, she may allow a bit more leniency with Arrancar as they often more intelligent than their hollow counterparts. But, even then, she takes caution around them. So far, she overviews them in a negative light.

Former Captains: Captain Commander Xaver Chayton. Rukia Kuchiki, Damien Crow, Jin Hoshigawa, Kinoen Luesen, Tiamat Crow, Nis, Byakuya Kuchiki, Wolf Lionus, Yukashii Kuchiki, Mitsurugi Kenpachi. Most of the names listed here and more are characters that helped to make the old Gotei so great and wonderous. Hence, Ibiki has painful nostalgic memories over them as she goes forward trying to lead the Gotei with what resources they have now. It's a bittersweet relationship with most of the people listed here.

Seiko: For the time being, this is mostly a trainer and mentor relationship. She sees him as a diamond in the rough waiting to be crafted with her guidance. So she is working hard to otherwise bring out his potential as a Kenpachi. His desire, ego, and pride are all elements which are making her attracted towards him as a pupil and Ibiki sees great things in store for the male. While he is a bit anal with his desires, it's something that can be developed with given enough time and effort.

Inami Asthavon: This relationship is rather natural for the time being. While she isn't too fond of demons at the moment, Inami seems to be making a bridge and attempting to otherwise quell tensions between their races and factions. Therefore, Ibiki feels a great tolerance for her and sees her as a bridge towards possibly making things better in the grand scheme of things. She still feels quite uneasy around her, as demons have a knack for back-stabbing those around her. However, it is not unfavorable -- for now.

Reimu Iramashsa: Reimu Iramasha is considered to be one of Ibiki's best friends. They met each other through run-ins between the Iramasha and Gotei peace-meetings. There were a pull and attraction towards one another that kind of just allowed them to bound together and banter. She is always resting at her place, having fun at her shrine and otherwise getting wasted and drunk with her and showing Reimu the lighter side of things so she can take an edge off her back. This is certainly a friendship she does not want to lose anytime soon and she trusts Reimu with her life in the heat of combat; as they've fought side by side against some of the worst interdimensional threats known to the universe.

Cirno Iramashsa: Consequently, through meeting Reimu, Ibiki had stumbled upon a friendship with Cirno as well. She was a regular to the La'Miou shrine and one that Ibiki took a strong liking to based upon her desire, drive and will to get things done. She seemed to always have a goofy side to her, was filled with positive energy and they got along great playing games with one another at the shrine. However, as of recently, she is pretty surprised and astounded at her personal growth and it feels as if the Iramasha had finally grown up and blossomed into a nice, mature woman that she can say she is proud to have be an ally.

Yukuri Iramashsa: And once again, through Reimu's connection and her position in the Gotei 13, Ibiki had stumbled across meeting Yukuri Iramasha. Always taunting and giving Reimu grief at her shrine, Ibiki joined in the fun and formed a rather nice acquaintance with the woman. Each of them seems to get along well and it does wonders for public relations between their two races and factions. So this is a valuable connection that Ibiki would rather not lose if at all possible.

Sou Yuuki: Sou Yuuki was a dumbass to Ibiki, but at least he proved to be entertaining. She considered him highly dangerous because of his blatant disregard for those around him. The male would always scream, shout and then destroy everything in sight with his hellish battle. It was enough to make him a worthy opponent as he had forced her to go into shikai when they had fought against one another. It's a shame that his energies weren't guided and managed properly. If she could train him enough, he could have done a lot of good rather than him walking down a road that got him an early death. It's all just a bunch of wasted potential in her mind.

Eric Zarathos: Eric Zarathos is a rather irritating force to deal with. Ibiki had met him in the wars for Australia and found him to be quite the foe to push herself and test new techniques on. However, after many conflicts against him, she realized he was a bit dense in the head and would never learn from his mistakes. Which, in her mind, was a great waste of potential; much like her thoughts with Sou Yuuki. He possessed an extremely otherworldly power, but he had no idea how to use it and always realized on tools, henchmen and other silly plans to get him through. She even tried teaching him the discipline of a true warrior, but he always reverted back to his childish and cartoonish villainy ways. What a waste.

Shadow Fall: Ibiki loathes Shadow Fall at this point in time. She feels they are responsible for many of the wars, chaos, destruction, and destabilization of other realms. Therefore, they are a threat and one she wants to fight against if at all possible. While they are good for pushing herself past her physical, mental and spiritual limits; they are a plague on the world at this point and they need to have some of their power lessened so that more of the protagonist forces can have a shot at making the world less hellish for non-warrior types. So this is going to be a long and daunting project to fight against.

K-World: For the most part, Ibiki is on guard with K-World. While they have not made many attacks in recent years, she is still quite aware of their history and their hate against the Soul King and the way society works. Therefore, if they endanger her home again, she will not hesitate to lay waste to their people. However, as of now, they are not her main priority based on how credible the threat Shadow Fall is, the black world is becoming and the current zombie outbreak in the world. They've taken a back seat to all of that.

Monsuta: On the lowest threat level is the Monsuta. After having taken part in the conflict of Australia, Ibiki more or less assumed that the bulk of their enemy was done. Sure, there are still pockets of them left, but nothing compared to their prime. Therefore, while she doesn't like them, there isn't a huge fear or concern over them. Her main objective with them is to just knock out the remaining sectors of this faction and be done with it since they aren't a legitimate threat anymore in the world. They are nothing but a joke at this point to Ibiki.

Moonie Iramasha: Moonie Iramasha is a good rival for Ibiki to have. After having fought against him in the Platinum Heart TOurament, Ibiki felt he was a great person for testing her limits and breaking off the dust from her fighting. He seems to have an earnest thirst for a wild brawl and knows how to give her the fight she desires. So, she is on excellent terms with him through their battle and would have drinks with him if he ever came to visit her in the Soul Society.

Unohana Kenpachi: Unohana Kenpachi is someone that Ibiki looks up to when it comes to figuring how to make her own creed as a Kenpachi. While they haven't had too much direct interaction, Ibiki has greatly studied many of her healing methods, practices and the art of her battle. It's why she incorporated some of her values into her Resolve Force in order to learn how to heal others, while at the same time guiding them towards being a more fearsome and destructive force with a stern hand. So Unohana Kenpachi can be thought of as a motivational figure for Ibiki.

Zaraki Kenpachi: This is another inspiration for Ibiki. As, to her, Zaraki more or less set the standard for most Kenpachi's going forward with how he led during his generation. His infinite battle lust and strive to challenge himself is something that is inspirational to Ibiki. So she has taken a few pages from his book to help craft her creed as a Kenpachi as well. So, much like Unohana, these two haven't had much interaction either and this is more of a reflection of Ibiki's perception of him.

Fantasia Nevermore: Fantasia is one of Ibiki's stronger division members and one who needs to really be broken out of her shell. From the interaction she had with her, Ibiki considered her to be a very repressed individual and needs to learn how to have fun, ease her anxieties and not be so serious and uptight all the time. So, if they ever meet again, Ibiki will probably try and get her drunk to knock out a lot of the shy junk from her system. As the poor thing looked like she was going to pass out just having a casual conversation with her.

Yuki Kameko: Yuki Kameko is someone that she is quite proud to have as one of her own. The stories of her fights, progressions, and will to power are enough to warrant this Shinigami becoming Ibiki's vice commander. That's how impressed and proud she is of Yuki and she hopes to see more of this shinigami as time goes by. They really need to sit down and have a drink more than anything else, though. Get to see the nit, grit, bones, and soul of the girl!

Kakine Yuudeshi: Kakine Yuudeshi is one that needs to really lighten up in her mind. She was first introduced to him during one of the earlier gatherings of the new Gotei Reformed Captains. Essentially, she wanted to become extremely friendly to him because she felt he needed someone to help him cut loose. So she was on him like white on rice and always attached his shoulders. It's not clear whether or not he feels the same way back, but it's a work in progress and she hopes to break his cold demeanor one way or another.

Zen: Zen is the commander of the kido dvision in the Gotei Reformed who she is trying to ease relationships with. The Combat Division and kido division have never really seen eye to eye with them, but she hopes to ease that with the current generation as they need to learn to work together as a whole unit. Otherwise, if they fail to do that task, most of their foes will overrun them and defeat them in this new world they are in. So, for the time being, she seems him as a neutral person and this relationship could probably use some more work going forward in the future. Though, she is happy that at least their squads aren't at war with one another for the time being.

Kuro Oakami: While there hasn't been too much interaction with him, both of their divisions seem to be on good terms with one another. Since Kuro currently leads the Covert Ops, there hasn't been too much grief or strife between their people. Although, as a person, Kuro is kind of creepy to Ibiki. He's always hiding, lurking or waiting in the shadows; when a normal introduction will do just fine. Although, she just figures that is their creed or something. Either way, it's still pretty weird to her. To each their own.
