Edo Zaraki

**Edo Zaraki** (更木江戸, *Zaraki Edo*), or better known as solely Edo, is a student within Shin'ō Academy, holding a position within Class 4. Though he holds the last name of "Zaraki", Edo was not born within the **Zaraki District**, instead hailing from Rakuhen. Born into the Zaraki-kai, he is believed to be the sole heir of the organization if Sengoku were to pass away suddenly. However, his father sent him to the academy to better himself, primarily on his view of life. He seems to suffer from prosopagnosia, along with having difficulties in making out certain tones, often confusing people who are speaking to him.

Edo does not talk about his relationship with the Zaraki-kai, nor do any of his files supply him with his surname. Due to his father's connections, Edo's history, when it comes to the matter of him predating his joining of the academy, is a mystery.

Edo Zaraki is one of the protagonists of Stained.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Averagely-High Spiritual Power**: Edo possesses a higher than average level of Reiryoku due to his years being alive, along with his training prior to joining the academy. He is within the range between an Average-level Reiryoku and a High Level Reiryoku, making him, at most, capable of rivaling certain seated members with his Reiatsu output alone.
	+ **Mostly Controlled Reiatsu**: Edo was taught how to control his Reiryoku, as to not give away his position, or bring harm to others, for the most part. His Reiatsu color, when expelled, takes the shape of **Kagami no Kuninoarisu**, giving off a yellow glow. Edo also seems to possess an Elemental-Reiatsu of Glass.

* **Kidō Practitioner**: Being a student, Edo doesn't have a perfect grasp upon the Kido arts, but he has shown to at least cast Kido up to level 28, even if he may need an incantation to make them more potent.

* **Shunpo Expert**: If there was one thing his father wanted drilled within his head, it was Shunpo. Due to this, Edo is one of the faster students within the class, able to keep up with Lieutenant-level Shunpo users, but has difficulties with Captain-level.

* **Swordsman**: Edo has shown he is able to use a sword, but has no real abilities when it comes to using them.

* **Hawk Eyes**: What is perhaps one of Edo's better qualities is, despite his prosopagnosia, his eyesight. He is able to see distances further than most people, without the need of some sort of assistance.

## Zanpakutō

### Shikai

**Kagami no Kuninoarisu** (鏡の国のアリス, *Through the Looking Glass*) is the name of Edo's Shikai, but its release command is unknown. This is due to Edo constantly having his Shikai active, it acting as a type of guardian to Edo. However, whenever he is prepared to fight, he uses the command "**Save**" (セーブ, *Sēbu*), often activating some sort of transformation sequence for Kagami no Kuninoarisu. The blade and hilt of Kagami no Kuninoarisu seems to be nonexistent.

It is a summon-type Zanpakutō that summons forth Kagami no Kuninoarisu. Unlike most Zanpakutō Spirits, Kagami no Kuninoarisu does not have a definitive form, and has been shown to constantly change it due to it being so malleable. Kagami no Kuninoarisu appears as a liquid-type of glass that seems to be primarily made of Reihari, which it was not made of initially. It has been shown to primarily hide itself within Edo's shadow.

* **Malleable Glass Body**: As stated before, Kagami no Kuninoarisu's body is primarily made of Reihari, a material that was instilled into it via experimentation to make Edo's Zanpakutō stronger. It is unknown what material Kagami no Kuninoarisu's body was made up of originally.
	+ **Spiritual Power**: Because of its Reihari components, Edo is able to infuse his own Reiryoku within Kagami no Kuninoarisu, almost like a storage container. It is able to expel said Reiryoku, whenever it wishes to, so it may further strengthen its attacks. Its Reiatsu fluctuates based on the amount that is contained within it. Its strength, among other aspects, can also vary on this aspect.
		- **Masterful Reiatsu Control**: Due to its Reihari components, no Reiryoku seeps from its body unless it's forced to, or otherwise.
* **Glass Generation & Manipulation**: The main ability of Kagami no Kuninoarisu is its ability to create and manipulate glass of any type, be it natural or man-made. Due to its Reihari components, Kagami no Kuninoarisu has shown to manipulate glass from the Human World as well. Edo can use this ability as well, due to his Reiatsu usage.
	+ **False Zanpakutō Creation**: While it holds the potential to create Zanpakuto for Edo to use, regardless of its purpose, the Zanpakuto created from this ability do not carry any special abilities, excluding from the material they are made from. It is because of this that Edo gains a widespread of weapons to use at his disposal.
