He is the third seat in the Gotei 13's Second Division and serves as the best Reconnaissance Man in the division, in other words, Information Gatherer and Scout.

## Profile

### Background

While certainly being far above average, Fumio is a standard young Shinigami who was simply a prodigy. To be completely honest, there isn’t a whole lot known about him, almost as if the records have been erased. Fitting for someone who works well in the Second Division.

From what remains, Fumio was an excellent student at Shiini Academy, although he was not the most pristine role model who was often left alone and seen as unkempt and dirty. He additionally did not have many friends while at the academy. However, his exceptional abilities allowed him to get by pretty well to the point that there are rumors that say he could have graduated early, but refused the offer for an unknown reason. The Academy is also where Fumio learned most of his Shunpo skills.

Fumio himself states that despite him being quite old, he spent a lot of the time after leaving the academy simply lazing around and slouching rather than actually working, which resulted in his Zanpakutō dragging him around in his sleep to forcibly teach him a lesson.

As of now, he works as a member of the Gotei 13’s Second Division, which is best known as the Stealth Division which is great at stealth and reconnaissance missions and is one their top members.

### Personality

Being a sort of free person, Fumio is seemingly your average person. On the exterior, Fumio has no immense muscle power or beautiful body. On the interior however, he is simply a calm and calculated man who analyzes the situation often. He is intelligent, humble, and an mentally capable person.

He tends to not take credit for some of his own work, not because he is generous, but simply because he finds the process a hassle and problematic for himself, somehow. When others view him, he seems quiet and composed and a loner, but in fact just is bored and lonely. He is often found looking through reports and files or sleeping when not preparing or on a mission.

When with the other higher ranking members of the Division, he often seen in an almost miserable seeming state for dealing his First Lieutenant and Captain.

In the past, Fumio was brighter, smarter, and much more enthusiastic. He had a grand ambition to grow stronger and become a great person. However, he witnessed an event that changed him forever. This is the reason why he is no longer completely in tune with his Zanpakuto spirit, which was the representation of his former self.

## Abilities

### General Abilities

* **Longevity**: As a Shinigami, Fumio seemingly does not age, retaining the physical appearance of a late teenager despite being older than even his first lieutenant.
* **Enhanced Durability**: Despite his seemingly frail figure, Fumio has enhanced durability as a Shinigami, possessing incredible resilience and dexterity.
* **Immense Mobility**: To substitute for his lower strength than others at his level, Fumio possesses incredible mobility and speed which he uses to his advantage in combat.
	+ **Shunpo**: Fumio is well-versed in **Hohō**, particularly their Shunpo techniques, allowing himself to move with incredible speed. While he cannot reach vast distances, it enables him to move much faster than the average norm. By combining it with his Zanpokutō’s Fifth Sword: Yuuki’s Blink ability, he can move even faster. This method he named “**Black Nighthawk Shunpo**”.

### Reiryoku and Reiatsu

* **High Reiryoku Capacity**: As a Shinigami, Fumio possesses a naturally high amount of Reiryoku. However, it is not enough so his strength is on par with others at his skill level so he substitutes it with his speed.
	+ **Reiatsu**: The Reiatsu of a Shinigami will continue to flow for as long as the heart is still beating; if the heart beats, it is impossible for the Reiatsu to cease.

## Appearances

### Appears in

Bleach: Mirrored Planes

**Shichigen** (七源刀, *Seven Origins*) or **Gyakuten Kokan Shichigen** (逆転好感七源, *Reversed Communion of Seven Origins*), better known by the name **Yumehyōhaku-sha** (夢漂泊者, *Dream Drifter*), is the Zanpakutō spirit of Fumio Nakamura's Zanpakutō. He is the representation of Fumio's past former past and is the only known Zanpakutō in the series able to control all seven elements.

Fumio’s Zanpakutō takes on the form of a pitch black Odachi, engraved with silver images on the blade and lined with a shining golden edge. The edge is chipped, but more like asymmetrically cut, to allow the sword to tear through rather than simply have a clean cut.

**Shikai | Shichigen** (始解・七源刀, Initial Release: Seven Origins): Fumio’s Zanpakutō summons an additional six swords, each one with their own unique elemental ability, the original sword included. The appearances are more or less the same, but the color matches with their aligned element and they have different types of engravings on the blade.

It is possible to only summon one of the swords, in which case the initial sword is replaced by said singular summoned sword.

* **First Sword | Ryuuzoku** (竜族, *Dragonkin*): The first sword and leader sword. It is needed to initiate the Shikai and activate Shichigen. When Genshiken is active, the blade ignites and envelops itself in a whirling veil of flames that burst from the blade when swung. The engraving transforms into a bursting flame while active.
* **Second Sword | Mizuhara** (水原, *Seafield*) : The second sword of the seven and the first one produced by Shichigen. Surrounding the blade in a light blue energy, the blade becomes much lighter and versatile in nature. During a strike, the aura rushes throughout the blade causing it to become more jagged akin to a harsh tide. The engravings on the blade transform into a rushing tide while active.
* **Third Sword | Arashi** (嵐, *Tempest*): The third sword of the seven and the second one produced by Shichigen. It envelops the blade and handle with a cutlash wind that breaks out at will and allow the wielder to call upon the wind to wrap around enemies or create wind blades that release from the edge itself. The engravings on the blade transform into whirling windstorm while active.
* **Fourth Sword | Raikousha** (雷光者, *Thunderer*): The fourth sword of the seven and the third one produced by Shichigen. It overcharges the blade with a blue lightning that surges from the blade, coursing out with every strike. The engravings on the blade transform into a bursting branch of lightning.
* **Fifth Sword | Yuuki** (幽鬼, *Revenant*): The fifth sword of the seven and the fourth one produced by Shichigen. It naturally distorts the appearance of the sword with shadow-like properties. It grants the ability to traverse short distances through shadows in a sort of “Blink”. The engravings on the blade transform into shadowy, misty veils and dark clouds.
* **Sixth Sword | Bakushin-chi** (爆心地, *Ground Zero*): The sixth sword of the seven and the fifth one produced by Shichigen. It has a very heavy weight to the blade, allowing it to cut more easily but requiring more proficient handling. Strikes release heavy vibrations throughout the surface of the target, shaking objects and disorientating enemies. The engravings on the blade transform into heavy, outlined blocks.
* **Seventh Sword | Shito** (使徒, *Apostle*): The seventh, final sword of the seven and the sixth and final one produced by Shichigen. It is very light and versatile, but possesses a lesser strength than the blade. Nonetheless, it is much quicker than the other swords, even more so than the Second Sword | Tidecaller. It is incredibly polished, with the light it reflects off the blade capable of blinding enemies and setting things ablaze. The light is essentially very, very hot and you would probably like to avoid it. The engravings on the blade transform into sunbeams forming from clouds down to the earth.

**Secret Sword | Strike of Seven Ages** (秘剣・七時代の攻撃, Hiken - Nanajidainokōgeki): A unique technique utilizing Fumio’s Shikai ability, as soon as Fumio releases an strike he activates to Shikai causing six swords to launch out several feet from the original blade. Fumio then utilizes either Shunpo to perform a variety of strikes, collecting each sword in the process before having one last seven sword attack. It is performed in midair.

**Bankai | Gyakuten Kōkan Shichigen** (卍解・逆転好感七源, Final Release: Reversed Communion of Seven Origins): Fumio’s Bankai, which unleashes the power of his Zanpakutō spirit, the **Yumehyōhaku-sha** (夢漂泊者, Dream Drifter) allows him to shift places with his Zanpakutō spirit from the real world and the spiritual world, allowing his Zanpakutō spirit to temporarily enter the real world with Fumio's body and use the full capacity of his abilities, which are normally limited under the normal effects of the Zanpakutō. Before this is activated, Fumio will see false hallucinations of his Zanpakutō spirit speaking with him and upon activation, a dark blue and white aura will build up and surround Fumio's body and head, before altering his appearance and armor and make a shattering effect. Fumio is able to retake control at anytime and the spirit will always work in his best interests.

During this time, as the Zanpakutō spirit is able use the full capacity of it's abilities and each sword can be summoned by the spirit, only much stronger. They only require the anme to be called out to come to him or be materialized.

* His Bankai command is: "*The stars have set sail...*" (星は出航しました , *Hoshi wa shukkō shimashita*). To forcibly deactivate it, the command is "*The stars have returned from their voyage...*" (星は彼らの航海から戻ってきました, *Hoshi wa karera no kōkai kara modotte kimashita)*

## Trivia

* Fumio's Zanpakuto is illogical and should not exist, as a Zanpokuto should be incapable of wielding anymore than two elements, much less all seven. The creator, however, does not care what you think and it is a minor restriction removed anyway.
* Nanairogotō's Secret Sword technique and Bankai are both inspired by techniques and abilities from other franchises.
	+ Strike of Seven Ages is based off of Cloud Strife's Omnislash V5 from *Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children*.
	+ Gyakuten Kōkan Shichigen is based off of Moon Knight and his transformation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
