*Shikai:

The ring duplicates and the duplicate rings expand and spread over a large area. This creates a large black dome around Kaname and his opponents, which is the catalyst for the ability. This dome acts as an arena for the fight onwards. Within the dome, all senses, including Reiatsu sensing are removed from everyone within the dome. The only sense that remains is touch)
|-|Hollowfication=All previous abilities enhanced plus:
*Hollow Physiology (Hollow: High-Tier Arrancar)
**Statistics Amplification (Kaname can utilize HollowficationBleach: Chapter 384, which amplifies all of his statistics to a level beyond a mere Bankai. Kaname can further amplify his physical abilities with his Resurrección)

</tabber>
Attack Potency: At most Country level (Possesses combined Attack and Spiritual Pressure stats on par with GinBleach Official Bootleg: Bleach Color+, and was able to harm Zaraki several times, albeit Zaraki wasn't actively defending himself or he was purposefully allowing Tosen to hit him so he could discover his position while trapped in Tosen's BankaiBleach Chapter 139Bleach Chapter 146Bleach Chapter 14738.94 Teratons) | At least Multi-Continent level (Sliced off an off-guard arm from GrimmjowBleach Chapter 213, cut ShinjiBleach Chapter 367, and Aizen implies Tosen is superior to the EspadaBleach Chapter 375443.5 Petatons), higher (Hollow Mask multiplies his stats by at least 5x as it is far superior to BankaiBleach Chapter 383Bleach Chapter 384Bleach Official Character Book 2 MaskedBleach Official Character Book 3 Unmasked, and Tosen was able to dominate Hisagi and Komamura, even nicking Komamura's BankaiBleach Chapter 384Bleach Chapter 3852.2175 Exatons), far higher with Resurrección (Obliterated Komamura's BankaiBleach Chapter 386)
Speed: High Hypersonic (As a Captain he should be superior to Vice Captains such as Renji Abarai and Rangiku Matsumoto) | Massively Hypersonic (Cut off Grimmjow's arm before he could react and intercepted Shinji), higher with Hollowfication (Tosen's Hollow Mask increases his stats) | Massively Hypersonic (At least as fast as before)
Lifting Strength: Likely Class M (As a captain class ShinigamiBleach: Chapter 138, Tosen should logically scale above Jidanbo in strength via possessing more Reiryoku then him, with Reiryoku being used to enhance one's physical capabilities, such as strength164,887.8 Metric Tons) | Class M (Far stronger than Abirama, higher with Hollowfication (Effortlessly stopped Komamura's Shikai) | At least Class M (Stronger than before, able to stop Komamura's Bankai attack with one hand)
Striking Strength: At most Country level (Should be comparable to his Attack Potency, as he was capable of physically harming a casual Zaraki) | At least Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he physically wounded Shinji), higher with Hollow Mask (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as Hollow Mask multiplies his strength by at least 5x), far higher with Resurrección (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as his Resurrección is superior to his Hollow Mask)
Durability: At most Country level (Should be comparable to his Attack Potency, he was still able to stand after being slashed by Zaraki, albeit only barelyBleach Chapter 14838.94 Teratons) | At least Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand the force of his own strikes443.5 Petatons), higher with Hollow Mask (Hollow Mask multiplies his durability by at least 5x2.2175 Exatons), far higher with Resurrección (Halted Komamura's Bankai with his bare hand)
Stamina: Superhuman (Lesser characters can fight for days, and Tosen can continue fighting even through severe injuries.)
Range: Extended Melee Range, Tens to Hundreds of Meters with projectiles
Standard Equipment: His Zanpakutō: Suzumushi.
Intelligence: Tosen is a cunning and skilled opponent with many years of experience, and he uses his abilities with competent tactical knowledge.
Weaknesses: Tosen is blind, though he compensates with this with his heightened senses and ability to sense Reiatsu. Suzumushi's Shikai ability does not work on the deaf, and his opponents can regain their senses during his Bankai by touching Suzumushi's hilt. He loses access to his Zanpakutō in his Resurrección, and, though he regains his sight in this form, he becomes incredibly arrogant because of this and pays much less attention to his other senses, leaving him actually more vulnerable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:	Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*: A technique used by Arrancar to travel between Hueco Mundo and other worlds, creating a spiritual pathway called a Garganta with a gesture, walking through this portal to arrive at their destination in an instant.
*: An application of Hohō used by Soul Reapers, allowing for high-speed movement, much faster than the eye can follow, to be used in combat and travel, typically in short bursts. The skill can be summarized as taking the least number of steps to reach point B from point A.

Benihikō.gif|Tosen using Suzumushi Nishiki: Benihikō
*: Tosen's Zanpakutō, a simple katana with a ring hanging from its teardrop-shaped tsuba. With its release command of Cry, Tosen releases a high-pitched tone over a wide area, overloading the hearing of anyone who hears it and painlessly knocking them unconscious.
** Suzumushi vibrates, and then Tosen moves it in a semicircle, leaving a trail that turns into a hail of hundreds of blades that rain down on his opponents.
** Using the ring on Suzumushi's tsuba, Tosen creates a circle of spiritual energy that splits into other, smaller circles, covering a large area with a darkness that comes to form a dome. This dome cuts off all senses but touch with an effect that Tosen calls Mumyō, nullifying sight, sound, scent, and spiritual awareness. Its greatest weakness is that anyone who touches its hilt will regain their senses, and if Tosen is badly injured, the Bankai will dissipate.
TosenCero.gif|Tosen using La Mirada
Los Nueve Aspectos.gif|Tosen using Los Nueve Aspectos
*: This release command encloses Tosen in darkness, transforming into a massive, bestial Hollow covered in black fur, with a large Hollow hole in his torso. He grows another pair of arms, four insectoid wings, a pair of horns, and his head grows to resemble that of a cricket's. In this form, Tosen loses his blindness.
**: Tosen charges a lime-green Cero in front of each of his eyes, firing them both separately before they fuse together on their way to his target.
**: Tosen draws a series of circles in the air with his claws, creating an immense burst of concussive sonic energy, which reverberates through the air to crush everything in its range.
*: Tosen has become part-Hollow of his own volition and can manifest a smooth white Hollow Mask that completely covers his face and a basic chestplate. The mask is split down the middle by a line and can open up to reveal a mouth. In this state, Tosen's power is greatly boosted.
**: An ability possessed by most Hollows, which allows them to rapidly recover from wounds. Abandoned by most Hollow and Arrancar in favor of more power, Tosen possesses the ability in this form, allowing him to quickly regenerate his mangled, broken arm.
*: Spells casted by Shinigami with strong enough Reiryoku and Reiryoku control. Kidō is divided into mainly three categories: Hadō for attacks, Bakudō for battle support, and Kaidō for healing. The spells are ranking from 1-99, with 1 being the weaker and easier spells to cast and 99 being the most powerful and difficult to cast. Skilled users can cast Kidō without the need of an incantation; however, casting without incantation does reduce the Kidō's effectiveness less than a third of its full potential.
**: With a swing of his arm, Tosen fires a blast of energy at his target, with the energy erupting into roaring flames that rapidly incinerate them.
**: Tosen manifests a long coil of white cloth, which rapidly winds around the target, wrapping them in its coils before teleporting them to another location with a white flash.
**: By drawing symbols over his arms with whatever substance is available, such as dirt or blood, Tosen can manifest a rectangular box, and by inserting his hand into this, he can transmit his voice to many people at once.
