## ***Abilities and Equipment***

### *Physical and Spiritual Capabilities*

#### **Spiritual Power and Pressure**

Murashige exhibits an immense amount of spiritual power and the standard-type of spiritual pressure.

### *Skills and Techniques*

#### **Atem**

Murashige is an Atem Master.

Murashife is able to use all of the standard maneuvers of Atem; in addition, Hotaru is also able to use an In'yōno Kisoku named Kenno Kisoku.

* **Kenno Kisoku** (*Kanji*: **剣の気息**; *English*: **Sword Breathing**) is a sub-style of the In'yōno Kisoku. It consists of using the **Gokumahōno Kisoku** in conjunction with the Zettaino Kisoku in order to both augment one's physical capabilities and enchant one's body with magic which protects one's armor and weapons from damage and thus allows one to combat a Bankai-level foe with conventional armor and weapons.

#### **Hakuda**

Murashige is a Hakuda Expert, as Murashige can use all of the basic to advance techniques of Hakuda

#### **Hohō**

Murashige is a Shunpo Master. Murashige is able to initiate his Shunpo in an instant and maintain his Shunpo for an indefinite amount of time. In addition, Murashige is able to blur into a indistinguishable flash and leave a number of clone-like afterimages in his wake.

Murashige is also able to infuse his spiritual energy into the clone-like afterimages that he leaves in his wake and thereby endow the clone-like afterimages with a degree of tangibility. Notably, because his clone-like and tangible afterimages derive their power from the spiritual pressure that is exerted by their spiritual energy, his clone-like and tangible afterimages are able to be just as fast and strong as him so long as he focuses on maximizing the spiritual pressure that is being exerted by clone-like and tangible afterimages' spiritual energy.

In addition, as a direct result of him using Ibusoku Jinoshi to learn and train himself in a number of Hollow powers, Murashige is able to use Sonido with as much ease and haste and skill as he is able to use Shunpo. In fact, Murashige is able to use his Sonido to create just as many clone-like afterimages as he is able to create with his Shunpo. But when Murashige uses his Sonido to create clone-like afterimages, Murashige will also be able to infuse his spiritual energy into the clone-like afterimages in order to endow the clone-like afterimages with a degree of tangibility and then manipulate the clone-like afterimages' spiritual pressure in a manner that endows each of the clone-like afterimages with a Hierro of all things! As such, the Sonido-made clone-like afterimages are far more durable than the Shunpo-made clone-like afterimages.

Lastly; and also as a direct result of him using Ibusoku Jinoshi to learn and train himself in a number of Hollow powers; Murashige is able to use a unique combination of Kumon and Sonido in order to efficiently and quickly journey from his position, through Garganta, and to his destination. By doing so, from the perception of those around him, Murashige will be able to just teleport from his position to his destination! Notably, because this maneuver uses Kumon to access the Garganta, Murashige is able to use this maneuver to efficiently and quickly journey between the worlds themselves!

#### **Jinjin Ittai**

Murashige is a Jinjin Ittai Master.

At-will, Murashige is able to affect his zanpakutō with Norou as a means of altering his Zanpakutō Spirit's expenditure of reiryoku in a manner that causes his zanpakutō to enter a Stance. In addition, Murashige is also able to affect his zanpakutō with Norou as a means of siphoning reiryoku away from his zanpakutō's bankai and shikai functions and then using that reiryoku to augment his zanpakutō's by fueling his zanpakutō's Stance with that reiryoku.

Also, with assistance from Jino Shusshōnogi, Murashige gained the ability to siphon reiryoku away from his Inner Hollow's mask and resurrección and then use that reiryoku to augment his zanpakutō's by fueling his zanpakutō's Stance with that reiryoku. By doing so, Murashige is able to either augment the effectiveness of his full-powered Jinjin Ittai or use a full-powered Jinjin Ittai without depriving himself of his ability to use his shikai and bankai!

Lastly, Murashige can use Jinjin Ittai - Gōken to convert all of his Inner Hollow and Zanpakutō Spirit's reiryoku into naught but sharpness for his zanpakutō's blade and then use Kenno Kisoku to replace all of the durability that his zanpakutō's blade would lose from being subjected to such a Jinjin Ittai - Gōken. By doing so, Murashige is able to create a durable blade with a sharpness that surpasses even Bankai itself!

##### Death God beyond Hollowfication

The **Death God beyond Hollowfication** (*Romaji*: **Horōka o koeta Shinigami**; *Kana*: **ホロウ化を超えた死神**) is Jinjin Ittai variation that is limited and unique to Murashige.

It consists of siphoning reiryoku away from his Inner Hollow's mask and resurrección and then using that reiryoku to augment his Hakuda stance. By doing so, Murashige is able to access and allocate all of his mask and resurrección's reiryoku without having to put on his mask and release his resurrección!

Notably; with assistance from Jino Shusshōnogi; Murashige was able to attain and master all of the hollow abilities that he use to need his mask and resurrección to attain and use. As such; even while he is using this Jinjin Ittai variation instead of hollowfication; Murashige is still able to use Bala, Cero, Descorrer, Hierro, High-Speed Regeneration, a hollow's ability to separate the body and soul, and even Negación!

Lastly, by using his Inner Hollow's reiryoku to fuel a specific Gokumahōno Kisoku which enchants his body in a manner which both allows him to perform Shinpo alongside Shinpo-level Taipo and augments his comprehension of and reaction to events, Murashige is able to ascend into form which he calls the **Death God Second Grade** (*Romaji*: **Shinigami Dai Ni-dankai**; *Kanji*: **死神第二段階**). As a DGSG; Murashige is able to maximize his bodily, movement, reaction, and even thought speed beyond what he was capable as a shinigami or hollow or even visored!

#### **Kidō**

Murashige is naught but a Kido Practitioner.

Murashige does not have any interest in Kido; as such, Murashige does not care to excel in the Kido and so Murashige does not excel in Kido.

#### **Pesquisa**

As a direct result of him using Ibusoku Jinoshi to learn and train himself in a number of Hollow powers, Murashige is able to use Pesquisa at-will.

With his Pesquisa; Murashige is able to detect an individual from a distance, gauge the exact amount of spiritual energy in the individual's possession, and keep track of the individual's actions and movements.

#### **Zanjutsu**

Murashige is a Master Swordswoman.

Murashige is extremely skilled at modulating the concentration and flow of the spiritual pressure within his zanpakutō. As such, Murashige is able to maximize his zanpakutō's performance by concentrating and positioning his spiritual pressure where his zanpakutō needs it the most. Murashige is also able to extend the range and increase the sharpness of his zanpakutō's blade by infusing spiritual energy into his zanpakutō and then exerting a spiritual pressure from that spiritual energy.

Uniquely, as a direct result of him using his Ibusoku Jinoshi to learn and train himself in a number of Hollow powers, Murashige is able to endow his zanpakutō's blade with the Acidic Touch of a hollow. By doing so, Murashige is able to allow his zanpakutō's blade to chemically burn through an entity. As such, even when an entity is harder than his zanpakutō's blade is sharp or just more durable than he is strong, Murashige is still able to cut the entity with his zanpakutō's blade.

Lastly, and also as a direct result of him using Ibusoku Jinoshi to learn and train himself in a number of Hollow powers, Murashige is able to conjure a buckler-shaped Negación as a means of blocking or parrying a supermajority of elemental and kinetic attacks. In addition, because of his incorporation of Destreza into his swordplay, Murashige is quite adept at wielding the buckler-shaped Negación as a form of both defense and offense alike. It should also be noted that Murashige is able to conjure a parrying dagger-shaped Negación and then use that parrying dagger-shaped Negación as a means of counterattacking and parrying with greater ease.

### *Zanpakutō*

#### **Sealed**

In its Sealed state, Murashige's zanpakutō takes the appearance of a tantō.

#### **Shikai** ~ Achieved

The real name of Murashige's zanpakutō is **Ichino Shōu** (*Kanji*: **一の生有**; *English*: **The Moment of One's Rebirth**). It is released into its Shikai state by chanting the phrase "**What is it**, **this dream**? **Turning in me like the clouds**, **blazing with moonbeams**?" and then calling out its name. It takes the appearance of a conventional katana.

Ichino Shōu is able to both cut the abstract with as much effectiveness as it's able to cut the concrete and not cut or even interact with the abstract and concrete at-will; in addition, Ichino Shōu endows Murashige with the ability to both perceive and react to the abstract in every way that he is able to perceive and react to the concrete.

However, though Ichino Shōu may be able to cut the abstract and endow Murashige with the ability to perceive the abstract, Ichino Shōu is not able to augment its force or sharpness through any means other than Zanjutsu. As such, Ichino Shōu's effectiveness at cutting an abstract entity is dependent upon and equal to Murashige's effectiveness at using Ichino Shōu's blade to cut a concrete entity.

#### **Bankai** ~ Achieved

The full name of Murashige's zanpakutō is **Rinne no Jōge**, **Ichino Shōu** (*Kanji*: **輪廻の上下**, **一の生有**; *English*: **Ascents and Descents of the Transmigration of Souls**, **The Moment of One's Rebirth**) Exactly like Ichino Shōu, it takes the appearance of a conventional katana.

## ***Former Abilities and Equipment***

### *Hollowfication*

Murashige's hollowfication allows him to conjure a Hollow's Mask as a means of augmenting all of his physical and spiritual capabilities. It also converts Murashige's spiritual pressure from the standard-type of spiritual pressure to a dual-type of spiritual type and thereby strengthens Murashige's spiritual pressure.

While he has his hollow mask on, Murashige will be able to fire Bala and Cero from either his eyes or hands. In addition, Murashige will be able to abuse Descorrer as a means of creating and using a number of portals to the Garganta. Notably, Murashige is able to create as many as 108 Descorrer at a time. And Murashige is able to close and reopen the Descorrer at-will. In addition to Bala, Cero, and Descorrer; Murashige will gain the ability to conjure as many as 54 katana-, wakizashi-, or tantō-shaped Negación. And Murashige can telekinetically manipulate the Negación as a means of swinging them into a slash at his target or propelling them as a projectile aimed at his target.

#### **Resurrección**

As a direct result of him using his Bankai to learn and train himself in a number of Hollow powers, Murashige Murashige was able to learn how to release his mask into a Resurrección. The name of Murashige's mask is **Secuestro** (*English*: **Abduction**). And it allows Kuniyaku to change into a Resurrección state by chanting the command **Cry** (*Romaji*: **Kurai**; *Kana*: **クライ**) and then calling out its name.

Secuestro augments Murashige's spiritual pressure to an even greater extent than Murashige's hollow mask. In addition, Secuestro elevates Murashige's agility, durability, endurance, flexibility, speed, and strength from Great/low-tier Immense to a mid-tier Immense! But most importantly, Secuestro encases the exterior of Murashige's body within an exo-musculoskeletal system which is distinct from the musculoskeletal system that is situated within the interior of Murashige's body. The entirety of the exo-musculoskeletal system exhibits a Hierro-like hardness and High-Speed Regeneration! However, neither the Hierro-like hardness nor the High-Speed Regeneration extends to the musculoskeletal system that is situated within the interior of Murashige's body.

Secuestro allows Murashige to use a hollow's ability to separate the body and soul to separate a shinigami and the shinigami's Zanpakutō spirit from one another. It also allows Murashige to separate a reigai from the soul within the reigai. And, in general, it allows Murashige to separate any entity within an individual's inner world from the entity.

### *Zanpakutō*

#### **Sealed**

In its Sealed state, Murashige's zanpakutō takes the appearance of a tantō.

#### **Shikai** ~ False

The fake name of Murashige's zanpakutō is **Jinoshi** (*Kanji*: **自の死**; *English*: **Death of Self**). It is released into its Shikai state by chanting the command **Cry** (*Romaji*: **Kurai**; *Kana*: **クライ**) and then calling out its name.

In its Shikai state, while he is not wearing his mask, it takes the appearance of a katana with a pitch black blade which is always drenched in tears. But when he puts his mask on, while it's in its Shikai state, it takes the appearance of a katana with a pure white blade which is dry of any tears.

At-will, Murashige is able to cut an individual's shadow with Jinoshi's blade as a means of destroying all of the individual's personal abilities. Notably, as soon as individual's personal abilities has been destroyed, the individual will lose both all access to the abilities and all usage of the abilities. In addition, the entity will also lose all access to and usage of any ability that was derived from or procured through the destroyed abilities. As such, the entity will deprived of all personal abilities and all abilities that were derived from or procured through personal abilities.

Frighteningly, through experimentation, it has been discovered that Jinoshi destroys an individual's personal abilities without destroying the potential which allowed the individual to develop those personal abilities in the first place. As such, those whose personal abilities have been destroyed by Jinoshi are able to develop a new personal ability over a period of time which varies between a month and a year.

#### **Bankai** ~ False

The fake, full name of Murashige's zanpakutō is **Ibusoku Jinoshi** (*Kanji*: **意不足**, **自の死**; *English*: **Lack of Meaning**, **Death of Self**).

In its Bankai state, while he is not wearing his mask, it continues to bear the appearance of a katana with a pitch black blade which is always drenched in tears. And while he is wearing his mask, while it's in its Bankai state, it continues to bear the appearance of a katana with a pure white blade which is dry of any tears.

While Bankai is active, Ibusoku Jinoshi deprives Murashige of all of his physical and spiritual capabilities. It lowers Murashige's spiritual power to average-level and weakens Murashige's spiritual pressure to average-level. And it prevents Murashige from conjuring his mask and thereby prevents Murashige from using his Resurrección. But in exchange, it maximizes Murashige's talent and thereby provides Murashige with the ability to educate himself in any craft that he can possibly learn and train himself in any skill that he can possibly learn.

Notably; when Murashige deactivates Bankai, Murashige will keep all of the crafts, skills, or strength that he attained while he was in Bankai. So all of the craft, skill, and strength that Murashige attained in Bankai will be added to all of the craft, skill, and strength that Murashige exhibits outside of Bankai. As such, while Ibusoku Jinoshi may be counterproductive in battle, it's perfect for learning and training.

#### **Shikai** ~ True

The real name of Murashige's zanpakutō is **Jino Shusshō** (*Kanji*: **自の出生**; *English*: **Birth of Self**). It is released into its Shikai state by chanting the command **Smile** and then calling out its name. It takes the appearance of a conventional katana with a pitch black blade.

Jino Shusshō exhibits the ability to convert power into potential. By cutting a shadow that is being casted by either an entity or a phenomenon caused by the entity, Jino Shusshō is able to convert one of the entity's abilities into potential and then either leave the potential within the entity or transfer the potential into Murashige. By doing so, Jino Shusshō allows Murashige to deprive an entity of an ability and then either endow the entity or himself with potential. In addition, by cutting the effect of an ability, Jino Shusshō is able to convert the effect from power into potential and then transfer the potential into Murashige. By doing so, Jino Shusshō allows Murashige to negate an ability's effect and then endow himself with potentialQ

However, it should be noted that Jino Shusshō's ability can only affect innate and racial abilities. Abilities that are artificial like hagaromo or learned like kidō are not and can not be affected by Jino Shusshō's ability.

#### **Bankai** ~ True

The full name of Murashige's zanpakutō is **Jino Shusshōnogi** (*Kanji*: **自の出生の義**; *English*: **Meaning of One's Birth**). Exactly like Jino Shusshō, it takes the appearance of a conventional katana with a pitch black blade.

Jino Shusshōnogi exhibits the ability to convert Murashige's power into potential and then use that potential to draw out any ability that an individual could procure and then endow that ability onto the individual. Notably, Jino Shusshōnogi's ability is not affected by racial and status limitations. As such, so long as it's possible for an individual to procure an ability, Jino Shusshōnogi allows the individual to procure the ability as any race and in any state and also allows the individual to use the ability as any race and in any state.
