The Following Require your character to have your Zanjutsu Skill Stat at: 50 (Novice Rank) Technique Name: Hitotsume: Nadegiri (The First: Killing Stroke)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: A swift sword strike that is more than capable of dispatching multi-story high targets protected by harden skin (such as Hierro) with only a single, precision cut. It can also accomplish the same feat when used against Kido defenses. Broken down, Hitotsume: Nadegiri is a technique that manipulates the users’ spiritual power into the motion of the strike. When performing the “killing stroke”, the user transfers the full force of their spiritual power as though it were “mass” through their swords and then through the air. The strike itself is the medium, with the end result manifesting as a devastating wave of pure reiatsu. It is an attack that encompasses all of one’s power into a singular strike; which is why it is often a lethal strike.
Technique Name: Hitotsume: Taifu Nadegiri (The First: Hurricane Killing Stroke)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: By forcing their spiritual energy to rotate in an opposite flowing motion in which it is use to, the user creates a hurricane-like effect beneath their feet in order to propel themselves towards a target at high speeds while spinning striking through the target as if they were a drill; shredding everything in their path which then allows them to perform Hitotsume: Nadegiri within this spinning motion granting its name.
Technique Name: Daini: Agitowari (The Second: Chin/Jaw Splitting)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: A useful and easy utilized sword technique where a single sword attack is used in order to cut an opponent in half from the jaw down the length of the body, resulting in the bisection of the target. Some Shinigami even refer to it as the “Hollow Bane”, for they use it to cleave the Hollow across their Hollow hole. The end result is achieved through manipulation of the user’s spiritual power. Instead of focusing the full force of their spiritual power as though it was “mass” and through their sword, and then the air, Daini: Agitowari involves sharpening that power into a honed, razor-like edge capable of extreme cutting potential.
Technique Name: Daisan: Kamikaze (The Third: Divine Wind)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: This is a Zanjutsu technique developed to face multiple enemies. This technique utilizes swift footwork, as well as the pin-point movements that make up traditional kendo forms, the user strikes their opponent many times in quick, rapid succession; striking with enough force to create wind swirls around the blade then lacerate the target brutally.
Technique Name: Daishi: Afurete (The Fourth: Overflowing)
Technique Range: Short to Long-Range (0 – 20 Meters)
Technique Description: A technique which incorporates the fundamental practices of Zanjutsu, Hoho and fine spiritual control. Before the technique even takes place the user channels large quantities of their spiritual energy into their Zanpakuto, causing it to glow in the color unique to the owner. Daishi: Afurete then uses a swift forward slashing motion to move the opponent back, which is immediately followed by a backwards pierce at extreme speeds. The energy is then released as an overwhelming wave of pure spiritual force that takes the form of a shockwave. Should the user’s spiritual power be aligned to a specific element, such as ice, then the wave becomes a cascading glacier.

The Following Require your character to have your Zanjutsu Skill Stat at: 150 (Expert Rank) Technique Name: Fifusu: Hasshin (The Fifth: Eruption)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: A technique where the user makes a deep slash across an opponent’s mid-rift, packed with their spiritual energy, which possesses extreme cutting power. This spiritual energy acts to part the opponents, making Hierro and other hardened skin techniques, all but useless against it. Seconds following the initial strike, blood erupts from the wound, hence the name.
Technique Name: Dairoku: Ryodan (The Sixth: Bisection)
Technique Range: Short to Mid-Range (0 – 10 Meters)
Technique Description: A variation of the Nadegiri, this technique instead uses a Kendo stance along with an overhead strike to send the user’s spiritual power outward in a focused line which takes the shape of a crescent wave of energy, effectively allowing them to strike any target in its path with the same power of their strike. It is less precise than Nadegiri but its range and area of effect are magnified by a hundred times.
Technique Name: Sebunsu: Onkoteishi (The Seventh: One Step Death)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: This technique was developed solely for occupying an enemy’s territory, and the killing strength is found behind the positioning of the blade. It involves constant moving, striking at the target at non-vital points until the sword play becomes predictable and once the user goes for a location they’ve already struck for before a simple flick of the wrist creating a diagonal slash before changing their position at the last given possible chance before cutting the foe cleaning up the middle instead of in the diagonal motion.
Technique Name: Daihachi: Hien (The Eighth: Swallow in Flight)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: This technique is where the user makes a single horizontal slash at an extremely fast speed at an opponent but when the blade appears as if it’s going to clash into the target the user switches the blade to the backside of the blade and move in with the hilt to strike the opponent in the solar plexus in order to knock them out without severely injuring them. This causes the technique to have more parallels with traditional Hoho techniques, as well as a combination of balance, coordination, speed, strength, endurance, and stamina.
Technique Name: Daiku: Sayagi (The Ninth: Scabbard Art)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: This is a very unusual technique but it was created for the purposes of ceasing conflict without truly drawing the Zanpakuto. This technique requires fine levels of manipulation over one’s spiritual power, in which they channel their spiritual power through the hilt and externally surrounding the scabbard of their blade. Once achieved, the user then condenses this spiritual power to a very thin layer of energy which possesses notable cutting potential; a result of constant rotation of the spiritual energy. The user then makes a single arc motion with their sheath, combined with an exceptionally skilled swordsman; one can inflict several injuries in a single motion with this technique. However it should be noted that the cutting potential of the technique is limited to incapacitation, as this is essentially a “peace-keeping” technique.
Technique Name: Daiju: Suikawari (The Tenth: Watermelon Splitting)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: A powerful, one-shot technique where the user comes down with their sword upon the head of a large enemy (usually Gillian-class Menos) with enough sport to cleanly cut down through the head and mask with remarkable ease. It is often integrated into Kendo styles due to its usage of both hands. However; this strength comes from the method of execution which this technique emphasizes on. The practitioner leaps in the air, using their sword to direct their reiatsu downward, allowing them to manipulate their mass. This, along with the increase in speed due to their fall allows for a slash of enough power to slice cleanly through a Gillian-class Menos if used by the correct individual.

The Following Require your character to have your Zanjutsu Skill Stat at: 300 (Master Rank) Technique Name: Juichi: Senmaioroshi (The Eleventh: Thousand Page Wholesale)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: A rather demanding sword technique where multiple blade movements take place so fast that they can literally shred a target into pieces. As such, one needs competent speed, as well as skill, to employ in successfully in battle. The strikes can also be turned on multiple close-knit enemies, where the same result occurs. The successful employment of this technique does not only come from the usage of speed, but comes from competent control over the user’s own spiritual energy. The user prior to using this technique coats their blade with a “layer” of spiritual energy which hardens the blade; while sharpening it at the tip of the blade, thus allowing the usage of multiple devastating slashes without immense amounts of strength; allowing them to cut through flesh, bone, and organs.
Technique Name: Juni: Senzaiichigu (The Twelfth: One in a Million Chance)
Technique Range: Short to Mid-Range (0 – 10 Meters)
Technique Description: Moving rapidly, this move emphasizes speed as once enacting the technique, and this technique should be nearly impossible to avoid being harmed by this most lethal of techniques. Moving with the blade at the practitioner’s side, the user sprints at the foe before thrusting their blade forth and to the right to impale the target; while doing so, the user uses some form of Hoho or Shunpo to give the illusion of immediate teleportation. If timed correctly, given that the user has a considerable amount of endurance, this move should allow the user to strike from a variety of angles without being seen. By doing this, the user should be able to strike from any conceivable angle, however, evidently, some may not be the best at Hoho and because of this they never can accurately time this attack. While this move is ensuing, it does have a weak point that all beings the weight displacement during the strike and move back into a Hoho technique which makes the striking force weaker and less accurate allowing the opponent an inch of room to either dodge or impaled.
Technique Name: Juyon: Tora Enshin (The Fourteenth: Tiger Draw)
Technique Range: Short to Mid-Range (0 – 10 Meters)
Technique Description: By placing one’s sheathed Zanpakuto upright behind them and synchronizing their breathing with that of their opponent, the user is able to begin this technique. The technique begins by rapidly unsheathing, attacking, and sheathing the sword in the similar fashion to that of Iaido; striking most opponents before they even have a chance to react.
Technique Name: Daijuroku: Gobosei no Ken (The Sixteenth: Pentagram Sword)
Technique Range: Short to Mid-Range (0 – 10 Meters)
Technique Description: Channeling spiritual energy into the user’s blade, the user performs a series of five slash at blistering speeds in a pattern that resembles a star. Because of the speed that they swing their blade, it seems as if the user has unleashed these blows concurrently, enabling them to all impact upon the foe’s body at the same time. The slashes close in on the enemy’s body from all side to create a prison, allowing small chance for defense or evasion. However during the process of slashing, a small opening is revealed for those with trained eyes: a tiny opening between their right arm and waist.
Technique Name: Daijushichi: Reiraku Byakuya (The Seventeenth: Midnight Sun; Faded Glory)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: The technique is prepared by assuming an unusual stance, by dropping into a partial crouch, both knees bent, the right arm drawn back and the left extended forward while the user winds up their dominate arm. The user must have perfect footing to ensure accuracy of this technique. As a target draws close to the user they instantly break from the stance and slash towards the foe while drawing their sword and follow up with a thrust forward all while releasing their belt up energy. The energy is released at the single striking point from the horizontal slash which is turned into a churning drilling force of energy after the thrust. This force moves at high speeds, piercing through many obstructions while tearing through the air itself. The downside to this technique is that the center of the energy is completely harmless while its primary goal is to get the opponent to move off course and rip them to ribbons with the currents of rotating energy.
Technique Name: Juhachi: Onigiri (The Eighteenth: Demon Sword)
Technique Range: Short Range (0 – 5 Meters)
Technique Description: This technique requires a very high level of control over one’s spiritual power and knowledge of sword technique. At the basis of the technique it is a very fine manipulation of the user’s reiryoku. The essence of the technique is to coat the edge of one’s Zanpakuto in an exceedingly fine layer of condensed reiryoku, greatly increasing the blade’s cutting power. The fine layer of reiryoku surrounding the blade’s edge now acts as its cutting edge and is so sharp that it will cut through almost anything. The potency of the technique increases with one’s proficiency with manipulating their reiryoku reserves – the finer the reiryoku layer surrounding the blade’s edge, the greater it’s cutting power. Using this technique the user can literally shred an opponent to pieces and as it can only be used offensively. Only objects coated with a strong enough spiritual energy can block this technique.
