Shinnoden

The **Shinnoden** (*Kanji*: **神の点**; *English*: **Mark of a God**) is an ability which allows one to become and develop as a Soul King.

## ***Attainment***

At the moment, there are but two ways in which an individual is able to attain the Shinnoden.

### *First Method*

The first and well-known method of attaining the Shinnoden is to absorb all of the official Seven Pieces of the Soul King after attaining both 7 SKP and the power of a Captain Commander.

If one attains the Shinnoden in this way, one will attain a perfect Shinnoden that does not require any growth or improvement.

### *Second Method*

The second and unknown method of attaining the Shinnoden is to exhibit SKP reiatsu and then be exposed to Ibusoku Jinoshi's effect.

If one attains the Shinnoden in this way, one will attain an imperfect Shinnoden that requires growth and improvement.

## ***General Stages***

If one attains the Shinnoden through the Second Method, one will have to advance one's Shinnoden through a number of Stages as one masters and perfects one's Shinnoden.

### *Stage 1*

**Shinnoden**: **Idai** (*Kanji*: 神の点: 一代; *English*: **Mark of a God: First Stage**): During Stage 1 of the Shinnoden, one's **Reiryoku** (*Kanji*: **霊力**; *English*: **Spiritual Power**) is converted into **Tenryoku** (*Kanji*: **天力**; *English*: **Heavenly Power**).

Notably, because Tenryoku is more efficient and more powerful than Reiryoku, Stage 1 increases the efficiency and power of one's Reiatsu.

### *Stage 2*

**Shinnoden: Nidai** (*Kanji*: 神の点: 二代; *English*: **Mark of a God: Second Stage**): During Stage 2 of the Shinnoden, one's Reiatsu (*Kanji*: **霊圧**; *English*: **Spiritual Pressure**) is converted into **Shinatsu** (*Kanji*: **神圧**; *English*: **Divine Pressure**).

Notable, while Shinatsu may not be any more efficient or more powerful than Reiatsu, Shinatsu does exhibit a property that Reiatsu does not exhibit. Specifically, Shinatsu allows the body to ascend into divinity alongside one's spirit and thus grants one an augmentation to one's mental and physical capabilities. To put it simply, Shinatsu causes one to become more athletic and more intelligent than one was before.

### *Advance Stage*

**Shinkō Shinnoden** (*Kanji*: **進行神の点**; *English*: **Advance Mark of a God**) is an advancement of both Shinnoden: Idai and Shinnoden: Nidai.

It consists of converting the **Urayoku** (*Kanji*: **裏力**; *English*: **Hidden Power**) within one's body into Tenryoku and the **Tokuatsu** (*Kanji*: **特圧**; *English*: **Special Pressure**) that is exerted by one's uraryoku into Shinatsu.

Notably, achieving this stage of Shinnoden causes

### *Stage 3*

**Shinnoden: Sandai** (*Kanji*: 神の点: 三代; *English*: **Mark of a God: Third Stage**): During Stage 3 of the Shinnoden, one attains the ability to assume a form named the **Ōshijinzō** (*Kanji*: **王紫神像**; *English*: **Royal Purple God Form**).

Like Shinatsu, the Ōshijinzō augments one's mental and physical capabilities. As such, like Shinatsu, the Ōshijinzō causes one to become more athletic and more intelligent than one was before. In addition, the Ōshijinzō augments one's maximum and regeneration of Tenryoku. And the Ōshijinzō increases the potency and range of one's Shinatsu.

### *Stage 4*

**Shinnoden**: **Shidai** (*Kanji*: 神の点: 四代; *English*: **Mark of a God: First Stage**): During Stage 4 of the Shinnoden, one attains the actual **Shinnoden** (*Kanji*: **神の点**; *English*: **Mark of a God**) upon one's body and it locks one within one's Ōshijinzō for all eternity. However, in exchange, it allows one to customize the Ōshijinzō's appearance and thus customize one's appearance.

After one has reached Stage 4; one will attain the ability to operate transmigration to reincarnate souls, the ability to create and maintain Worlds; the ability to manipulate and replenish reimyoku, and the ability to birth and champion a race. In addition, one will attain a powerful and unique ability known as a **Seiyo** (*Kanji*: **聖与**; *English*: **Holy Gift**).

## **Special Stages**

In addition to the General Stages, there are Special Stages of Shinnoden such as:

### *Mujōnoden*

The **Mujōnoden** (*Kanji*: **無情の点**; *English*: **Mark of the Heartless**) is an ability which allows one to become and develop as a Hollow King, the hollowfic version of the Soul King.

#### **Stage 1**

**Mujōnoden**: **Idai** (*Kanji*: **無情の点**: **一代**; *English*: **Mark of the Heartless: First Stage**): During Stage 1 of the Mujōnoden, one's **Reiryoku** (*Kanji*: **霊力**; *English*: **Spiritual Power**) is converted into divine and Hueco Mundo **Reimyaku** (*Kanji*: **霊脈**; *English*: **Spiritual Pulse**).

Notably, Stage 1 augments the efficiency and potency of both instinctive and purposeful Hakuda. By doing so, it augments the effectiveness of one's physiology as a whole.

#### **Stage 2**

**Mujōnoden**: **Nidai** (*Kanji*: **無情の点**: **二代;** *English*: **Mark of a the Heartless: Second Stage**): During Stage 2 of the Mujōnoden, one's conventional Reiatsu (*Kanji*: **霊圧**; *English*: **Spiritual Pressure**) is converted into the reiatsu of divine and Hueco Mundo reimyaku.

Notably, Stage 2 allows the conversion of either the entirety the body into an animal-based and divine hollow or a part of the body into an animal-based and divine hollow body part. Every individual is able to convert to just 1 species of animalistic hollow. Examples include:

* **Name** - Animal
	+ **Mortimer Lost** - Dragon
	+ **Ketsuno Ichimaru** - Fox
	+ **Hakutō Atama** - Kushānada
	+ **Ferris Lost** - Magic Hunter
	+ **Kaiyon & Yonkai** - Cerberus
	+ **Tomo Amamiya** [Formerly] - Phytoplankton
	+ **Surutu** [Formerly] - Ljósálfar ("Light Elves")
	+ **Raizo** [Formerly] - Whales

#### **Stage 3**

**Mujōnoden**: **Sandai** (*Kanji*: **無情の点**: **三代**; *English*: **Mark of the Heartless: Third Stage**): During Stage 3 of the Mujōnoden, one's **Reishi** (**Kanji**: **霊子**; *English*: **Spirit Particles**) is converted into **Seishi** (*Kanji*: **聖子**; *English*: **Sacred Particles**).

Notably, Stage 3 allows the exhibition of a divine physicality advantage over mortal physicality. As in, Stage 3 causes one's divine physicality to exhibit an advantage over mortal physicality. Thus, in terms of matter against matter, damage against mortal matter is increased and damage from mortal matter is decreased!

Stage 3 also endows one with a divine, hollowfic, and physiological ability called a **Mujōnoshō** (*Kanji*: **無情の召**; *English*: **Call of the Heartless**).

#### **Stage 4**

Because a full and true Hollow King has yet to be born, the abilities and properties of this stage are unknown.

### *Nakanoden*

**Nakanoden** (*Kanji*: **心の点**; *English*: **Mark of the Heart**) is an ability which allows one to become and develop as a cured Hollow King.

Simply unlocking Nakanoden confers upon those with it **Kokoro Hitomi** (*Kanji*: **心の瞳**; *English*: **Eyes Which Reflect the Heart**), allowing them to visually perceive hearts, iryokus, iatsus, voids and other things of Third Awareness.

#### **Stage 1**

**Nakanoden**: **Idai** (*Kanji*: **心の点**: **一代**; *English*: **Mark of the Heart: First Stage**): During Stage 1 of the Nakanoden, one's **Reiryoku** (*Kanji*: **霊力**; *English*: **Spiritual Power**) is converted into a Divine **Iryoku** (*Kanji*: **心力**; *English*: **Heart Power**) called **Ten'i** (*Kanji*: **天威**; *English*: **Heavenly Will**)

Notably, Stage 1 not only slightly augments a person through divinity but also confers upon their Reiryoku the properties of an Iryoku which include the ability to destroy of Voids. Additionally Ten'i demonstrates an additional advantage over Hollowfication on top of the advantage it gains from divinity making it extra powerful when wielded against hollows and when used to destroy Voids.

#### **Stage 2**

**Nakanoden**: **Nidai** (*Kanji*: **心の点**: **二代;** *English*: **Mark of the Heart: Second Stage**): During Stage 2 of the Nakanoden, one's conventional Reiatsu (*Kanji*: **霊圧**; *English*: **Spiritual Pressure**) is converted into a Divine **Iatsu** (*Kanji*: **心圧**; *English*: **Heart Pressure**) called **Shin'i** (*Kanji*: **神威**; *English*: **Divine Will**).

Notably, Stage 2 not only slightly augments a person's physicality and mentality through divinity but also confers upon their Reiatsu the properties of an Iatsu (a consciousness) which include the ability to restore spiritual bodies of spiritual exhaustion as well as the ability to perform consciousness manipulation including such things as memory alteration, mind control, hallucinations, altering states of consciousness, and much more.

#### **Stage 3**

**Nakanoden**: **Sandai** (*Kanji*: **心の点**: **三代**; *English*: **Mark of the Heart: Third Stage**): During Stage 3 of the Nakanoden, one's **Reishi** (**Kanji**: **霊子**; *English*: **Spirit Particles**) is converted into a **Kokoro** (*Kanji*: **心**; *English*: **Heart**) like state.

Notably, this stage is very distinct from other Stage 3s, conferring little in physical enhancements but instead allowing one's body to behave like a heart enabling things such as possession, inner world infiltration and transit through transmigration without harm.

Additionally this Stage also allows one to create Hearts at will, of both divine, semi-divine or purely standard fashion. The user is not limited in the type of hearts they can generate in this state aside from their knowledge and means to create them.

#### **Stage 4**

Because of its unprecedented existence, the abilities and properties of this stage are unknown.

#### *Advance Stage*

**Shinkō Nakanoden** (*Kanji*: **進行心の点**; *English*: **Advance Mark of the Heart**) is an advanced application of Nakanoden. When applied to an entity with Iryoku and Iatsu it can be used to destroy them, putting the entity in a vegetative state semi-indefinitely depending on the thoroughness of the destruction.
