Harihime: Upon activating the shikai, her blade is covered in needles, each one able to affect someone's spiritual energy.

Whenever someone makes the slightest movement with their limb Amaterasu inflicted damage to, they would feel the stabbing pain of a thousand needles. Sometimes the pain would spread from one limb to another limb in just seconds leaving someone unable to use their arms even if they plan to use them. It would also double the pain to both arms by a thousand.

As Amaterasu continues slashing at her opponent, they would feel a pain of a thousand more sharp needles. If the opponent walks, crawls, limps or run they would feel an unbearable pain in their legs tripling it.

Kin-irokaze Harihime: Amaterasu summons a giant samurai princess whose armor is made of needles and so does her sword. When Amaterasu slashes her sword at her opponent her Zanpakutō would send out a thousand needles towards her opponent leaving them unable to move as they are surrounded in pain and each needle that is on their body absorbs their spiritual energy.
