Beburos

**Beburos** (ベブーロース, *Bebūrōsu*), or **Kōshi Atama** (頭 小牛, *Atama Kōshi*) as he is known in the documentation and viewpoint of the Soul Society, is 1 of the main characters of Stained. He is an artificial soul, 1 of the founding members of Ichigo, and a major player in the fight against the Culto de Tsara and the Royal Guard

In the past, he was a 4th-generation Ten no Tsukai. As he was created by converting hundreds of thousands of Class 4 clones into a hagaromo and then layering a second hagaromo onto that first hagaromo.

Because he lacked a name, and because he was an artificial and unofficial member of the **Azrael Warriors** (アズラエル 戦士, *Azuraeru Senshi*), he was formerly known as **Azrael** (アズラエル, *Azuraeru*).

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

### *Physical and Spiritual Capabilities*

#### **Spiritual Prowess**

Azrael exhibits an immense amount of hagaromo and, after generating reimyaku with his hagaromo, Water & Cycles-elemental reiatsu!

After he lost his combat hagaromo, while his Ueten was active, Beburos exhibited a great amount of reiryoku which was able to exert Ten no Tsukai-type reiatsu.

### *Equipment and Weaponry*

#### **Hagaromo** ~ First

##### Concealed

In its concealed form, Azrael's hagaromo is an aura without any ability or feature than malleability and tangibility.

##### Revealed

In its revealed form, Azrael's hagaromo becomes 108 Chains of Fate.

Each of the Chains of Fate are able to draw in reishi by means of a Bount power, and they are able to eat reishi by means of a Gula-type Peccatum. As the Chains of Fate draw in and eat the reishi, the Chains of Fate will also draw in and eat the reishi's souls via a combination of Fullbring and Gonzui. Subsequently, the Chains of Fate can digest the reishi and the reishi's souls as a means of either healing Azrael's wounds or generating reimyaku in a Domain Expansion-like manner.

Afterward, the Chains of Fate will augment the reimyaku with their saketsu and then imbue the reimyaku into Azrael and themselves in order to both dragonify Azrael — endowing Azrael with a large but singular Ashikaga horn, Hierro-hard scales atop his skin, and a tail which converts the reiatsu of Azrael's reimyaku from standard-type reiatsu to Water & Cycles-elemental reiatsu — and empower themselves. The Chains of Fate can also expend reimyaku in a Goryūtenmetsu-like manner in order to charge and then fire a combination of a Cero and Foxfire!

##### Ascended

The name of Azrael's hagaromo is **Yonno Madōji** (*Kanji*: **四の魔童子**; *English*: **The Fours' Demonic Boy**). It's ascended by the command "Rise to the Challenge" and then a call of its name.

Yonno Amadōji converts the revealed form's 108 Chains of Fate into a 1080 Chains of Hell. The Chains of Hell are able to draw in reishi by means of a Bount power and eat reishi by means of a Gula-type Peccatum. As the Chains of Hell draw in and eat the reishi, the Chains of Hell will also draw in and eat the reishi's souls via a combination of Fullbring and Gonzui. Subsequently, the Chains of Hell can digest the reishi and the reishi's souls as a means of either healing Azrael's wounds or generating a draconic yet Hell-type reimyaku in a Domain Expansion-like manner.

Afterward, the Chains of Hell will augment the reimyaku with their saketsu and then imbue the reimyaku into Azrael and themselves in order to both skullclad Azrael — endowing Azrael with both a large but singular Ashikaga horn and bony and draconic armor which converts the reiatsu of Azrael's reimyaku from standard-type reiatsu to Water & Cycles-elemental reiatsu — and strengthen themselves. The Chains of Hell can also expend reimyaku in a Goryūtenmetsu-like manner in order to charge and then fire a Hell-empowered combination of a Cero and Foxfire!

Lastly, the Chains of Hell can bite an entity in order to link with the entity and siphon the entity's sin. Subsequently, the Chaisnof Hell will be able to burn the sin in a Domain Expansion- and Hama Yumi-like manner and thereby convert the sin into even **MORE** of Azrael's draconic yet Hell-type reimyaku!

#### **Hagaromo** ~ Second

##### Ueten ~ Achieved

Despite its lack of a shōten, Beburos' bodily hagaromo is able to ascend into an ueten.

Beburos' ueten is named **Kōshi** (*Kanji*: **小牛**; *English*: **Little Bull**). It was released by chanting "**I am thou**, **and thou art I**..." and then calling out its name. It does not exhibit an appearance, but rather, it alters Beburos' appearance. It's a kind of ueten which, after it has been released, is permanent rather than sealable.

Kōshi allows Beburos to generate reiryoku and produce Ten no Tsukai-type reiatsu.

#### **Hagaromo** ~ Third

Beburos exhibits a bodily hagaromo which constitutes the external and internal organs of his physiology, but Beburos does not exhibit any combat or utility hagaromo.

Notably, by means of conditioning and training, Beburos is able to conceal his bodily hagaromo. By doing so, Beburos is able to achieve imperceptibility at the cost of diminishing his physicality.

##### Raihō

Beburos means of his bodily hagaromo, Beburos is able to perform Raihō at a Master-level

##### Setsuri

Beburos means of his bodily hagaromo, Beburos is an Expert at Setsuri.

##### Shiraha

Beburos means of his bodily hagaromo, Beburos is an Expert at Shiraha.

##### Shōten ~ Does not Exhibit

Beburos' bodily hagaromo has never been, and thus is not, capable of an ascension into a shōten.

##### Ueten ~ Achieved

Despite its lack of a shōten, Beburos' bodily hagaromo is able to ascend into an ueten.

Beburos' ueten is named **Ichigo** (*Kanji*: **一護**; *English*: **One Who Protects**). It's released by chanting "**I am thou**, **and thou art I**..." and then calling out its name. It does not exhibit an appearance, and it does not alter Beburos' appearance.

Ichigo allows Beburos to convert his bodily hagaromo from material reiatsu into material ikusatsu. This allows Beburos to apply Akada at a cellular level, and it prevents Beburos from being detected or tracked via reiatsu sensing or reiryoku sensing.

#### **Murakumo**

Beburos is armed with a **Murakumo** (*Kanji*: **叢雲**; *English*: **Gathering Clouds**), a handgun-shaped Quincy Cross with the abiltiy to generate and maintain a **Totsuka-no-Tsurugi** (*Kanji*: **十拳剣**; *English*: **Sword of Ten Hand-Breadths**) by compressing and shaping a hagaromo into a form and then materializing the hagaromo into a solid.

Notably, despite his lack of a combat or utility hagaromo, Beburos is able to generate and maintain his Totsuka-no-Tsurugi by applying his Murakumo as a means of compressing and shaping his Ten no Tsukai-type reiatsu into a form and then materializing his Ten no Tsukai-type reiatsu into a solid. Also of note, Beburos is able to arm his Murakumo with Gintō rounds containing his Ten no Tsukai-type reiatsu and then fire his Murakumo as a means of releasing a Totsuka-no-Tsurugi from both or either of the rounds.

Lastly and uniquely, Beburos is able to cast Magic by using his Murakumo as a witch's kit.

##### Totsuka-no-Tsurugi

The names of Beburos' totsuka-no-tsurugi are **Lost** (*Romaji*: **Rosuto**; *Kana*: **ロスト**) and **Found** (*Romaji*: **Fuando**; *Kana*: **ファンド**).

Lost functions as a cero-like and sword-shaped spirit weapon which doubles as a rifle-like witch's kit, while Found functions as a material and shield-shaped negación.

#### **Zanpakutō**

##### Sealed

In its sealed state of Beburos' zanpakutō exhibits the appearance of a cinquedea with an extensive and ornate crossguard and a crimson and spherical gem embedded within that crossguard.

##### Shikai ~ Achieved

The name of Beburos' zanpakutō is **Ryūjin Enmi** (流瞋 円身, *Flowing Antipathy Circular Blade*). It is released into its Shikai state by chanting the command "**Saw**..." and then calling out its name. And it takes the appearance of a pizza cutter-like ultra greatsword.

Ryuūjin Enmi exhibits the ability to concentrate and flatten Beburos and its reiatsu around its blade and into a circular yet jagged blade-shaped singularity. The singularity functions as a an infinitely sharp and superlatively superluminal edge capable of sawing through anything, even a Negación! Notably, the singularity can be launched from Ryuūjin Enmi's blade as a discus-shaped projectile called a **Chōkai Tenshō** (超回転象, *Super-Rotating Phenomenon*). And at either Beburos or Ryuūjin Enmi's woll, a Chōkai Tenshō can expand from a discus into a maelstrom of microsopic saws!

##### Bankai ~ Not Yet Achieved

Beburos has yet to earn Bankai from Ryuūjin Enmi.

### *Familiars and Mounts*

#### **Dragon Mount ~ Grendal**

Beburos has attuned with and is able to conjure and ride a blue whale-sized dragon and classical dragon named **Grendal** (*Romaji*: **Gurendaru**; *Kana*: **グレンダル**).

##### Domain Expansion

As a dragon, Grendal is able to generate and manipulate a reimyaku that is unique to it.

Grendel's domain expansion is called **Heorot's Hall** (*Romaji*: **Herottozu Hōru**; *Kana*: **ヘロットズ・ホール**). It establishes an area-of-effect wherein Grendel is able to control its connections to all of the other entities within the area-of-effect. As such, it allows Grendel to connect to and disconnect from any entity within it at-will.

##### Draconic Intuition

As a dragon, Grendel exhibits an analytic and sensory instinct which was born from evolution and functions through a combination of conscious observation and unconscious perceptions.

##### Dragon Heart

As a dragon, Grendel is able to accelerate its circulation of blood and reiryoku by exhausting its heart. By doing so, Grendal is able to augment its physical and spiritual capabilites.

##### Fire Breath

As a dragon, Grendel exhibits a **Fire Breath** (*Romaji*: **Hifuki**; *Kanji*: **火吹き**), the ability to generate and manipulate an element of sorts.

More specifically, Grendel exhibits the **Shadow Fire** (*Romaji*: **Inka**; *Kanji*: **陰火**). The Shadow Fire is an ability to generate and manipulate a blotting flame which darkens the light of om by erasing the names formed by om as its incinerates om! It's able to counter a dragon's Domain Expansion by destroying the dragon's reimyaku, and it's able to burn the likes of baku and magic hunters with ease!

##### Flight

By means of its wings, Grendel is able to fly.

Also by applying a **Worldly Denial** (*Romaji*: **Wārudorī Deniaru**; *Kana*: **ワールドリー・デニアル**) , a Domain Expansion-based generation and manipulation of a reimyaku which repels and is repelled by other reimyaku, Grendel is able to both accelerate its flight and fly without its wings!

### *Skills and Techniques*

#### **Azrael Warrior**

Beburos is the **Azrael Warrior of the West** (*Romaji*: **Nishino Azuraeru Senshi**; *Kana and Kanji*: **西の・アズラエル・戦士**).

As such, Beburos is the bearer of an inner spirit named the **Y Ddraig Goch** (*Welsh For*: **Red Dragon**) and a wielder of both **Senryoku** (Kanji: **戦力**; *English*: **Battle Energy**) and its **Ikusatsu** (*Kanji*: **戦圧**; *English*: **Battle Pressure**).

##### Levels of Proficiency

###### Basic

Like all of the Azrael Warriors before him, Beburos exhibits the ability of **Proportional Exchange** (*Romaji*: **Hirei Kōkan**; *Kanji*: **比例交換**).

Through Proportional Exchange, Beburos is able to alleviate an entity of a consequence/effect at the cost of being afflicted with a proportional quantity of the consequence/effect.

Notably, it was this ability which allowed Beburos to absorb the sin of other people.

###### Practitioner

Beburos can imbue his senryoku into any damage that he has suffered; by doing so, Beburos can exert an ikusatsu from that senryoku. Said ikusatsu will exhibit a force proportional to the damage that its senryoku is imbued within. As such, the more damaged that Beburos is, the more powerful that Beburos' ikusatsu will be. However, if the damage is healed through any means, the ikusatsu will vanish.

In addition, just as reiryoku is able to alter the body via Hakuda, senryoku is able to alter the body via **Akada** (*Kanji*: **赤打**; *English*: **Red Hits**).

Akada allows Beburos to augment his athleticism with the damage that his been inflicted upon him. As such, the more damaged that Beburos becomes, the more athletic that Beburos will become. Beburos can also exert Akada through his ikusatsu and thus augment other people's athleticism with the damage that his been inflicted upon him. So the more damaged that Beburos becomes, the more athletic that Beburos can make other people.

###### Advance

At the cost of an expenditure of senryoku and through Proportional Exchange, Beburos is able to apply an effect to himself and then remove that effect from himself as a means of transferring the effect to any entity other than himself.

Also at the cost of an expenditure of senryoku and through Proportional Exchange, Beburos can remove an effect or trait from an entity that is either apart of or connected to him as a means of transferring the effect or trait to another entity that is either apart of or connected to him.

###### Expert ~ Not Yet Achieved

Beburos has yet to achieve the Expert form of his Azrael Warrior powers.

###### Master ~ Not Yet Achieved

Beburos has yet to achieve the Master form of his Azrael Warrior powers.

##### **Azrael Transformation**

As the current Azrael Warrior of the West and the first and only Azrael God of the West, Beburos is able to generate senryoku/ōryoku and then use that senryoku/ōryoku's ikusatsu/ōatsu to undergo an **Azrael Transformation** (*Romaji*: **Azuraeru no Henge**; *Kana and Kanji*: **アズラエルの変化**).

###### Practitioner

Like all of the Azrael Warriors before him; Beburos is able to assume a crimson, dark, gothic, and kumadori-bearing form.
This Practitioner's form allows Beburos to apply Proportional Exchange as an Azrael Warrior and Disproportional Exchange as an Azrael God. It also allows Beburos to apply Akada as well.

###### Intermediary

In stark contrast to all of the Azrael Warriors before him, Beburos is able to assume a number of intermediary and personal forms.
By means of Proportional Exchange, Beburos can heighten his exhibition of a Class 4 member's traits by proportionally lowering his exhibition of other Class 4 members' traits. And by means of Disporportional Exchange, Beburos can heighten his exhibition of a Class 4 member's traits by disproportionally lowering his exhibition of other Class 4 members' traits.

Ultimately, Beburos is able to attain and even combine any of the bodily or spiritual, but not heartful or metaphysical, traits of Class 4!

###### Expert ~ Not Yet Achieved

Beburos has yet to achieve the Expert form of Azrael Transformation.

###### Master~ Not Yet Achieved

Beburos has yet to achieve the Master form of Azrael Transformation.

##### Azrael God

Through an application of Shinnoden, Beburos is able to ascend his senryoku into **Ōryoku** (Kanji: **大力**; *English*: **Great Energy**) and his ikausatsu into **Ōsatsu** (*Kanji*: **大圧**; *English*: **Great Pressure**). And by doing so, Beburo is able to ascend from the Azrael Warrior of the West into an **Azrael God of the West** (*Romaji*: **Nishino Azuraeru no Mikoto**; *Kana and Kanji*: **西のアズラエルの命**)!

As an Azrael God, Beburos is able to ascend the Azrael Warrior power of Proportional Exchange into the Azrael God power of **Disproportional Exchange** (*Romaji*: **Fubirei Kōkan**; *Kanji*: **不比例交換**).

Through Disproportional Exchange, Beburos is able to alleviate an entity of a consequence/effect at the cost of being afflicted with either a disproportionally low quantity of the consequence/effect or a disproportionally high quantity of the consequence/effect. In addition, through both an expenditure of ōryoku and a usage of Disproportional Exchange, Beburos can is able to apply a lesser effect to himself and then remove that lesser effect from himself as a means of transferring a greater effect to any entity other than himself. And Beburos can Beburos can remove a lesser effect or lesser trait from an entity that is either apart of or connected to him as a means of transferring a greater effect or greater trait to another entity that is either apart of or connected to him.

Lastly, via a Disproportional Exchange, Beburos is able to apply **Akada** (*Kanji*: **赤打**; *English*: **Red Hits**) as a means of augmenting an entity's athleticism by an amount that is either higher or lower than the amount of damage that has been inflicted upon him. Notably, by "augmenting" an entity's athleticism by a negative amount, Beburos is able to debilitate the entity with Akada rather than enhance the entity. Beburos can also expend ōryoku as a means of either decreasing or increase the augmentation.

#### **Peccatum**

Because he bears all of the Royal Guard's sins, and because he is chained to Hell, Azrael exhibits a Togabito-like ability to expend his reimyaku as a means of manifesting the Royal Guard's sins into an Acedia-type Peccatum.

Through his acedia-type peccatum, by expending an amount of his reimyaku and experiencing an amount of pain, Azrael is able to heal an individual by an amount that is equal to a half of his expenditure of reimyaku plus a half of his experience of pain.

Notably, all acedia-type peccatum exhibit the ability to heal, Azrael's acedia-type peccatum specializes in healing. Because of that, unlike Kaidō, Azrael's acedia-type peccatum can heal the external body and internal soul alike. However, also because it specializes in healing, Azrael's acedia-type peccatum cannot cure diseases or neutralize poison. Also of note, Azrael cannot heal himself with his acedia-type peccatum. Instead, Azrael can only heal others.

The abnormality and limitations of Azrael's acedia-type peccatum is a consequence of the fact that it's a manifestation of the Royal Guard's sins rather than a manifestation of Azrael's sins. For Azrael bears the sin of and brings solace to others, so Azrael can heal others at the cost of inflicting pain upon himself.

##### Delictum

After outliving and witnessing the deaths of his fellow Azraels, Azrael developed a Delictum.

Azrael's delictum allows Azrael to develop a laulā within his Inner World by dissociating himself from a memory of pain and then suppressing those memories into 1 of the hundreds of thousands of Class 4 clones that he is composed of. After creating a laulā, Azrael can endow a laulā with control over either 1 of the chains of his hagaromo or 1 of the links of those chains. By doing so, Azrael can delegate the task of maneuvering and operating the chain or link to the laulā.

Notably, because of all the mental and physical pain that he's suffered, Azrael exhibits more than enough laulā to maneuver and operate each and every link of even his ascended hagaromo's Chaisn of Hell!

#### **Personal Magic**

Beburos' personal magic is called **Azrael** (アズラエル, *Azuraeru*). Beburos is able to cast his Azrael by crafting om into his True Name and then infusing that om into the Primordial Reimyaku around him. After casting his Personal Magic, Beburos can generate and then manipulate **Senryoku** (戦力, *Battle Energy*). At the same time, Beburos can produce **Ikusatsu** (戦圧, *Battle Pressure*) from his senryoku. Beburos can also convert his body from artificial reishi into material ikusatsu!

By means of his senryoku and its ikusatsu, Beburos exhibits the power of **Proportional Exchange** (比例交換, *Hirei Kōkan*). As a basic; Beburos is able to alleviate an entity of a consequence/effect at the cost of being afflicted with a proportional quantity of the consequence/effect, imbue his senryoku into any damage that he has suffered and then exert a force-like ikusatsu that is proportional to that damage, perform **Akada** (赤打, *Red Hits*) as a means of augmenting his athleticism by an amount that is proportional to how damaged he is, and transfer any consequence/effect from 1 entity to another entity.

Beburos can also undergo an **Azrael Transformation** (アズラエルの変化, *Azuraeru no Henge*) by decreasing any of his — or his connections' — properties in exchange for increasing another of his — or his connections' — properties by an amount that is proportional to the decrease.
