Cang Du

**Cang Du** (蒼都 (ツァン·トゥ), *Tsan Tu*) is a Quincy and a member of the Wandenreich's Sternritter with the designation **"I"** - **"The Iron"**.[1]

## Appearance

Cang is a fairly slim man with narrow pale blue eyes and short black[2] hair, with pointed bangs hanging between his eyes. He has a small, vertical scar over the left side of his mouth. His attire is a variation of the Sternritter's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded cloak, a trench coat-like gi ending just past his waist with a black sash, and a pair of black fingerless gloves.[3]

## Personality

Cang is a very stoic individual. He had very little reaction to Yhwach's appointment of the newly recruited Uryū Ishida as his successor, while the news caused anger and confusion among his comrades.[4] Cang believes things which existed together in life should exist together in death, a principle which he goes out of his way to enforce.[5] He does not believe in pantheism, claiming Bankai have no minds of their own.[6] He is very loyal to Emperor Yhwach and refuses to be killed by anyone besides him, including Jugram Haschwalth.[7]

## Powers & Abilities

**The Iron** (鋼鉄 (ジ・アイアン), *Ji Aian*; Japanese for "*Steel*"): Cang can coat his skin partially or fully in a layer of iron, making his body virtually invulnerable to physical harm while the transformation is active.[25]

**Reishi Manipulation**: as a Quincy he primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with his own spiritual energy to form weapons.[26] He has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.[27]

* **Hirenkyaku Expert**: Cang was able to use his speed to pressure and repeatedly attack Hitsugaya, giving him little time to block using his Bankai.[28]

**Great Spiritual Power**: Cang's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami.[29] This was proven when he effortlessly defeated 10th Division Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto.[22]

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Cang is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat. While fighting 10th Division Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Cang delivered swift kicks to the ice wing of his Bankai, **Daiguren Hyōrinmaru**, and kicked Hitsugaya into the air.[30]

### Spirit Weapon

**Reishi Claws**: Using his abilities as a Quincy, Cang can concentrate spirit energy and particles and form them into weapons. His favored weapons are a pair of claws with four curved blades, which he wears on the back of both wrists.[3]

* **Shé Jìn Zhǎo** (蛇勁爪 (シェジンツァオ), *Shejintsao*; Chinese for "*Snake-Strong Claws*"; *Viz* **"Snake Claw"**): Cang points his arms at his target and places one fist over the other, so his wrists face away from one another, before launching a pair of energy blasts from his claws. Together, these blasts form the visage of a serpentine head; one blast forms its eye and top jaw, and the other forms its bottom jaw.[31]

### Quincy: Vollständig

When this is activated, a substantial amount of Reiatsu is released, resulting in the formation of a towering column of energy that ends in a large Quincy Cross, from which Cang emerges in the **Quincy: Vollständig**after the column shatters. The resulting release of energy is strong enough to shatter the ice prison that Hitsugaya trapped him in.[19]

## Quotes

* (To Tōshirō Hitsugaya) "*Those who spend their lives together should remain together in death. That is my belief.*"[32]

* (To Tōshirō Hitsugaya) "*This is your Bankai. Doubtless you have never had the opportunity to see it from this perspective before. It is quite a beautiful Bankai. And of course... This Bankai too is "one who lived by your side." It pains me greatly that I must take it for my own, thus allowing it to live on under a new master long after you are dead and gone.*"[33]

* (To Tōshirō Hitsugaya) "*I'm not a believer in pantheism.*"[34]

* (To Jugram Haschwalth) *"I will not be slain by any hand but His Majesty's!"*[7]
