The Winds of Fury, Combination Style:

While not always the case, Shinigami combat is done primarily with Zanpakutō. As such, Hakuda techniques on the whole, were taught primarily as a way to defend oneself against attacks when the Zanpakutō was not available but ultimately, it was never a focus and it was never something that the educators at the academy spent a lot of time on. Shinigami fought with Zanpakutō first and their limbs second. So instead, throughout the Academy, Giriko pieced together his own unarmed fighting style, which was more or less a conglomeration of all the different techniques he has developed throughout his life.

Giriko has always been a momentum based fighter and it was only natural that the style he developed would reflect that. By combining two of his strengths, his application of Kidō and his proficiency with Hakuda, Giriko has developed a martial style seamlessly blending the two. By chaining one technique in to another within the style, Giriko gains more and more momentum and as such, gains more and more power. Every time one of his Hakuda techniques successfully hit an opponent, either cleanly or by being blocked, his strength, speed, and resistance to outside forces is doubled for the duration of his next Winds of Fury technique.

However, given that this style was born from next to nothing and he has only been practicing it for a few years, Giriko has limits on what techniques he can successfully chain in to another. These limits can be seen by viewing this somewhat archaic chart. Every technique must be preceded by the technique above it in the chart. Gou Majinken may only be used after Majinken, etc. The exception to this rule is that the first tier of abilities may be used initially on their own or may use Hakugekishou in the chain. If any of the techniques complete their duration without hitting an opponent, the chain ends. While his Zanpakutō is released, each technique has the chance to further enrage his Zanpakutō.

Spoiler:

Hakugekishou=Impact: This technique starts off, aesthetically, as any other basic unarmed strike. However, right before the point of contact, Giriko will generate a small pocket of wind based reishi in between his attack and his victim. When Giriko’s fist connects with the pocket, the reishi will burst out, forming a miniature, forward explosion that will often rattle and stun anything it connects with. The stunning and disorienting effect will only last for a few moments, less than a full post, but if Giriko immediately follows up with another Hakuda, the victim will be prone and vulnerable to further attacks. May grant one rage if Ikarutori is released.

Majinken=Demon Fist: Giriko will gather wind based reishi to his palm, forming it in to a small, faintly glowing ball, before violently thrusting it forward toward an opponent. The kinetic energy will propel the condensed reishi along and cause it to collide with whatever is in its way. The projectile itself is not especially strong and its concussive force is equivalent to the force in which Giriko is capable of punching. May grant one rage if Ikarutori is released.

Gou Majinken=Strong Demon Fist: Giriko will gather wind based reishi to his palm, forming it in to a five foot diameter, faintly glowing ball, before violently thrusting it forward toward an opponent. The kinetic energy will propel the condensed reishi along and cause it to collide with whatever is in its way. The projectile itself is rather potent and its concussive force is equivalent to five times the force in which Giriko is capable of punching. May grant three rage if Ikarutori is released.

Majin Rengazan=Chaos Wave: Giriko will rapidly perform an ornate sequence of shadow boxing maneuvers and from each strike will erupt a high speed Majinken. These projectiles are equivalent to the normal Majinken and Giriko is capable of firing fifty before the technique finishes.

Shishisenkou=Beast: Giriko will gather a considerable amount of Reishi around him before violently attempting to shoulder tackle whoever has the misfortune of being in his way. As he collides with his target, all the accumulated Reishi will erupt out and crash in to the target and force them to the ground, typically in the supine position. Given the rather overwhelming nature of the explosive Reishi, the Shishisenkou is especially adept at bulldozing through barriers and shields and other opposing attacks, generally providing a sense of shielding in and of itself. However, accumulating that Reishi takes time and there is a rather notable time lag before Giriko can initiate the strike, making it very easy to counter and limiting its practical usefulness. May grant five rage if Ikarutori is released.

Gakugan Zetsurakugeki=Rending Earth: Usable only on a downed opponent, Giriko will violently grab hold of the victims ankle before, equally violently, sweeping them back off the ground, torqueing them through the air in a radial arc, before violently slamming the victim back in to the ground with enough force to bounce them up in to the air. May grant seven rage if Ikarutori is released.

Banbutsu Shintsuigeki=Lord of All Creation: Usable only on an airborne opponent, Giriko will drive his fist in an uppercut motion in to the victims solar plexus before following it up with a rising elbow to their jaw, then follow by a downward elbow strike to the back of their head. All of these strikes happen within a fraction of a second, seemingly simultaneously, before Giriko finishes the technique by violently driving his victim’s reeling face in to the ground with an axe kick. May grant twenty rage if Ikarutori is released.

Rengadan=Talon Storm: A rapid attack technique, Giriko will channel Reishi to his foot before taking one pivotal step forward, establishing his base, and then firing ten rapid kicks, all within a half second of each other, in to the opponent’s abdomen. May grant four rage if Ikarutori is released.

Hienrenkyaku=Swallow Dance: Pushing off the previously established base, Giriko will take to the air and rapidly throw horizontal, hip torqueing kicks at the opponent’s head. The technique will use whatever Giriko’s leg makes contact with to propel the other leg back around, violently hammering away at whatever he is attempting to kick. This technique will last for five kicks. May grant four rage if Ikarutori is released.

Renga Hienkyaku=Swallow Storm: After the Hienrenkyaku finishes, Giriko will seemingly “blip” from sight. Incorporating the Shunpo in to the attack, Giriko will move at startlingly fast speeds and unleash a furious flurry of attacks, the alliteration strengthening the move, and will strike the opponent fifteen times simultaneously. May grant four rage if Ikarutori is released.

Reishishoudan=Lucent Pallisade: Funneling Reishi along the length of his arm, Giriko will perform a blistering overhead chop that will eject the collected Reishi in to a wind-like blade protrusion. This Reishi is sharp to the touch and functions more or less like a sword, capable of standing toe to toe with a Zanpakutō. May grant two rage if Ikarutori is released.

Renkigoushuku=Spirit Rush: Pumping further Reishi in to his hand and gathering the accumulated energy around him, Giriko will drive the pulsing energy forward in a palm strike, attempting to ram the accumulated mass of Reishi through his opponent. May grant four rage if Ikarutori is released.

Rekkouzanmetsu=Sundering Fury: By causing the ball of Reishi he has already collected to become unstable, Giriko will push the mass of energy forward until it erupts in to a giant, controlled explosion in a seventy degree angle in front of him. May grant seven rage if Ikarutori is released.
