Bankai

Bankai is a transformation exclusive to Demi-Archons and the ascended, perfected state of Awoken. It allows the user to reach even higher strength from it's already powerful predecessor. It is a Demi-Archons most powerful state with the exception of Infinity Stones, AntiMatter and Illumination. It changes one's legacy weapon to its final form.

Like Awoken, This transformation is obtained the more complex yet the same way the user achieved Awoken. More battle experience, extreme amounts of A-Cells, the mastery of Awoken and deep wisdom of their divine ideal is needed to achieve it.

Bankai was first introduced with Superior Agent Asian against Osial in The Gangsters 3: AntiMatter.

## Overview of the Variations

Like Awoken, Bankai has branches of it's transformations depending on the users element. The power output is the same, but it's appearance, laws and properties are completely different. (The Brackets next to the Bankai's name refers to the upgraded weapon's name.)

### Chrysos, Bounty of Dominator (Brimstone Breaker)

While under this form, Josh becomes arrogant and impulsive due to the boost in strength.

### Will of Prison Flame (Vortex Meteor)

Jack achieves Will of Prison Flame through a pact he made with Dharkon. He would gain Bankai through Dharkon feeding on the negativity in his Supervision, causing him to go Blood Vengeance. After Dharkon finished feeding off his negativity, he spread it through all of his Supervision, now making it produce AntiMatter and causing Jack to regain control with all loss of internal emotion. In this form, Jack's hair grows, having protruding spiky parts of hair that wildy stands up in a flame-like appearance and gains a full magenta-red color with purplish-tints at the tips. More of his awoken mark appear on his face, with one on his left side of his forehead and one on his neck. His eyes notably gain primogem-like pupils, similar to Khaenri'an's and also become magenta-reddish. Bio-electric AntiMatter will surround Jack when he uses his elemental energy. In order to activate this form, Jack will manifest the left Chain of Chaos and wrap it around his left forearm, searing it on. Doing so will make the right one appear wrapped.

Unlike the other Bankais of his fellow Gangsters, Jack's is a hybrid with Pyro and AntiMatter, the Photon element. Despite this, Jack is incapable of utilizing AntiMatter outside of Bankai.

While under this form, Jack becomes cool-headed and is mostly seen wearing an emotionless, neutral expression, since the disregard of his emotions and morality are the principal for the form to work. His emotions are gone to extent, as he can still do facial expressions, such as strain and smile. However, if he experiences an overwhelming emotion, Jack will unwillingly drop out of the form. Whenever Jack screams, shouts or roars, a dual-voice is heard with Anti-Blitzz's low and rough voice behind it

This form's name is **Dragon Kaioken**.

### Annihilation, Destroyer of Worlds (Primordial Deathmatch)

Gabe achieves Annihilation, Destroyer of Worlds after assimilating his manifested vision spirit Xicor's power into his own, unlocking his dormant potential and gaining the immense power and appearance of a Hollow. In this form, all of his upper clothes are torn apart except his left sleeve, along with his footwear. His skin entirely becomes pure white, with purple vein-like lines spread across his body, with a large marking of his Awoken mark on his chest. His finger and toenails gain retractable claws, and his hair becomes long and spiky instead of curly. His hollow mask spreads across his whole head and covers his face, with an outer shell. He has no cheeks and lips, revealing two hollow holes in his mask and a hollow's teeth. His eyes are still voided with small aqua pupils. His mask also features two long forward-pointing horns. After losing his right eye by Spider Sadist, the form will only highlight his left pupil.

While under this form, Gabe becomes extremely belligerent towards his opponents. He is more collected toward his friends. Due to the immense power of Xicor's influence over the form, Gabe has to maintain the aggressive and primal nature of a Hollow at all times, being extremely uncharacteristic by making loud grunts and roaring at his enemies.

This form's name is **Vasto Lorde Xeno** (English: Highest Great Hollow Xeno)

### Suigetsu, Seiya Kagura [English: Water Moon, Dance of the Stars] (Excelsus)

While under this form, Ahad becomes more decisive at the cost of his rationality, making him very cold and hostile toward others.

## Trivia

-Bankai shows a Demi-Archon's true and unhindered personality, meaning this is how they would act if they were a full-blooded archon. A Demi-Archon loses all of their humanity in this form in this way.

-A Demi-Archon's prowess in both physical and elemental states are increased by a 200 times multiplier from their base state.

-Awoken marks either spread more across the body or get bigger in size in a different area or the same in this form.

-Since Josh, Gabe, Jack and Ahad are the only ones in the series to achieve Bankai, this means they have the highest amount of A-Cells out of every Allogene in the series.

-Bankai has exclusive techniques that can only be performed in that form such as Jack's Dragon Fist or Gabe's Xeno Xplosion.
