Takehito Nahara

== Summary ==
Takehito
 Nahara is the current 3rd Seat of the 6th Division. He is a mature and 
calm individual. He is a main protagonist for a good majority of the 
series until the final arc, the Soul King arc where he becomes an antagonist who is part of the organization Shikatsuki. He apparently has the weakest bloodline of all the Shikatsuki. 
== Personality ==
Takehito Nahara is a 
responsible, mature and quite well-spoken individual. He is what is to 
be said as the perfect depiction of a samurai, despite being a Shinigami
 himself. 
He often analyses his
 opponents to quite an obsessive extent, even noting down the rate of 
their eyes blinking, eyelids closing and eyelashes flickering. And as a 
result, it has come more of a habit of his, and is believed to be 
diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder because of this analytic 
habit to just analyze whoever he is speaking to or is speaking to him. 
== Appearance ==
Takehito Nahara 
appears to have shoulder-length, dark blue hair with light blue streaks 
trailing through it, bottom to the top. His eyes are also quite sharp 
and are dark brown in color. Besides his natural appearance, he wears a 
standard Shihakusho but with both a white, button shirt underneath the 
torso area of the Shihakusho, and some black pants underneath the leg 
section of the Shihakusho. 
After the timeskip, he has dyed his hair a dark blonde color. Nobody knows why he did this nor when he did it, but the color of his hair has changed somewhat nonetheless. 
== Abilities ==
Master Zanjutsu Practitioner: Takehito's
 Zanjutsu skill is at a masterful level. He switch types of sword attack
 in a blink of an eye, and the angles and the directions he hits are 
always precise and have a reason behind each of the hits. His speed with
 a sword is also equally as masterful, and the techniques he displays 
are of varying difficulty, some techniques not even the greatest of 
Shinigami can ever learn. 
Master Hoho Practitioner: Much like his Zanjutsu skill, he is a master. He can appear behind his opponent and pierce them in a blink of an eye. 
Master Acrobatic: Due
 to him honing his flexibility and learning various acrobatics, he can 
perform multiple acrobatic moves and techniques that can make him often 
seem like a demon without any bones at all. This is mostly due to him 
being quite inflexible at the start so he decided to become more 
flexible as he considered it a 'vital technique for a samurai'. 
Zanpakuto: Makatanaou (Demon Blade King):
Appearance: Makatanaou
 has a scabbard that is navy blue with a golden dragon running up it. 
Inside the scabbard is the Zanpakuto itself, and, unusually, it has a 
pommel. This pommel is a small ring shape and has a wooden plaque 
dangling off of it by what seems to be a piece of string. The rest of 
the blade has a black hilt which has a purple, papery material wrapped 
around it, a eight-point star crossguard with diamond-shaped spikes 
lacerating on each of the crossguard points' ends, and the blade itself 
is a narrow, standard shape.
Shikai: 'Pile
 the corpses, Makatanaou' - Once this Shikai command is chanted, the 
blade's wooden plaque at the bottom glows a bright green color before 
soon illuminating the entire sword in such a color and then splitting 
the sword into eight random swords: two of these swords appear in 
Takehito's hand, whereas six of them are scattered over a 1.5 mile 
radius. 
Shikai ability: 
'Yarinaosu Satsu' (Redo Kill): If the eight swords have all been 
depleted, Takehito stating 'Yarinaosu Satsu' will replenish the blades.
Bankai: Tashika
 Jenosaido' (Certain Genocide): Almost like an enhancement of the 
Shikai, the Bankai splits the Zanpakuto into the amount of Shikai's 
blades, squared. This means that instead of eight, there is now 64 
blades. 
Bankai Ability: 
'Yarinaosu: Jenosaido' (Redo: Genocide): Much like the Shikai ability, 
this ability will replenish blades. However, you cannot replenish all 
blades; instead, you replenish some of them: you can replenish half of 
the squared amount (so for the first time since entering Bankai, you 
would be able to replenish 32 blades.) and the percentage of how many 
blades you can replenish out of that squared amount increases based on 
how many kills you get (for example, if you kill one person that 
percentage increases by one percent, allowing for you to replenish 51% 
of the squared number.), and the amount of blades replenish-able is a 
permanent figure. So, once you reach 100% of that squared number, the 
Bankai's amount of blades split is increased by one power (so for 
example, the first time reaching 100% of that squared number would allow
 you to replenish 50% of the Shikai's amount of blades cubed). 
Bankai Ability: 
'Katana Uru' (Sword Acquire): By using this ability, you can double the 
amount of blade's in the field. You can only do this once every hour 
though. 
Bankai Ability: 
'Seidai Akuma Kira' (Grand Demon Killer): The Zanpakuto's maximum 
amount of blades split at the same time combines together to create a 
grand blade capable of slaughtering demons in high of number. The blades
 on the field shine, and are absorbed into one specific blade. The blade
 then grows dramatically, and appears to be four times the size of 
Takehito himself. It has a silver scabbard with scattered crimson petals
 designed on it, has a hilt made of diamond, a large, black shiruken as 
it's crossguard, and the blade itself is a gigantic crimson crystal that
 has ten different layers, each tougher to break through than the last. 
If the opponent manages to break through all nine layers to the last 
layer, an extremely slender golden blade is revealed, precise enough to 
puncture a blood vessel at the exact point, angle and direction the user
 specifies.

== Quotes ==
"You
 cannot talk? Very well...it doesn't make a difference. After 
all...don't true warriors speak in the tongue of battle?" - Takehito to 
Kenji in A Duel's Creed.
"Despite being a warrior, despite 
being a person I should get along with, despite the life you've lead 
that definitely follows the path of a warrior...I really can't get along
 with you after all. You being the head-captain not only disheartens me,
 but definitely a silent few too. This silent few is known as 
the...Shikatsuki." - Takehito to Kenji in Shikatsuki vs. The Soul Society: Part 3.
