**Intelligence:** Ikkaku is a skilled and experienced combatant, boasting great talent for the art of sword fighting that would be expected of a high ranking member of the Gotei 13. During his fight with Edrad Liones, Ikkaku was able to make up for a difference in power by outsmarting his opponent. However, despite his talent for battle, Ikkaku is of moderate intelligence when it comes to most over thinks.

**Weaknesses:** Due to wanting to keep it a secret, Ikkaku often refuses to use his Bankai in battle. After his fight with Edrad, Ikkaku's Bankai was damaged beyond repairing, rendering it weaker then it once was.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Shunpo:** An application of the Hoho technique utilised by Shinigami to increase the speed of their movements, allowing them to travel faster than the eye can follow. It is frequently used into combat and travel, typically for short bursts. The technique is best characterised by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.

**Shikai:** Initially resembling an ordinary katana, upon activating his Shikai, Ikkaku's Zanpakutō, Hōzukimaru, transforms into a weapon similar in appearance to a Kikuchi Yari (spear) with a wax wood shaft. Its pommel also gains a red horsehair tassel. The primary ability of his Shikai is to separate from a Kikuchi Yari to a Sansetsukon, a three sectional staff. The chains connecting the three sections can extend a fair length, allowing Ikkaku to swing his weapon like a flail.

**Bankai:** Ikkaku's Bankai, Ryumon Hōzukimaru, takes the form of two giant Chinese Monk's Spades and a standard guandao, connected together by a heavy chain to the centre section which resembles an axe blade with a dragon crest on one side. The two weapons have giant, long, cylindrical weights for a pommel. Just like most Bankai, Ikkaku's increase his combat ability by 5-10 times. The main ability of Ryumon Hōzukimaru is to steadily increase its power over the course of the fight. According to Ikkaku, when he first activates his Bankai, his Zanpakutō spirit is asleep and must be woken up over the course of the fight. The dragon crest will slowly fill up with crimson dye, and when it is full it means that his Zanpakutō spirit has completely woken and is now at full power.
