**Immense Spiritual Power**:
Since birth, Osamu has been known to possess exceptionally potent and gargantuan reiryoku, which has only multiplied in magnitude since his mother's death. Its potency is of such ferocity that he is capable of dissipating high-level Kido at will as they approach him. He has shown on more than one occasion the ability to increase the potency of his reiryoku at will because of his control over his own existence.

* Masterful Reiatsu Control: Osamu possesses such perfected reiatsu control that upon enough exertion, his reiatsu is able to put those surrounding him within stasis, cause those affected to enter a state of complete inactivity until he suppresses his reiatsu, upon which they return to life or simply die at his discretion. At lower levels, he is capable of inducing paralysis, fear, doubt and even hopelessness in others by simply gazing at them. Lieutenant and even Captain level Shinigami are prone to the effects of his reiatsu by merely being in his presence. As a result, Osamu was commanded directly by Captain Commander of the time, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, to keep his Reitsu in check at all times, prohibiting him from releasing it under normal conditions, and only when he feels it is absolutely necessary. Osamu's open exertion of his Reiatsu remains unknown in usage after the captain commander's death. It's believed that a full release of his potent reiatsu would prompt the cessation of action in those within a vast distance around him.

Eikyūchintai redirects here. For the manifested spirit that appears in the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc see:
Eikyūchintai (Zanpakutō Spirit).
**Eikyūchintai** (永久沈滞, *Perpetual Stagnation*): In its sealed state, it takes the form of two large, golden Trench Knives with matching golden chains attached to circular, hollow hand guards. The hand guard of the right trench knife is adorned by a matching tassel while the ends of the chains of both knives seem to vanish.

* **Shikai**: The release command is **Persistence** (固執, *Koshitsu*) and is used to activate and deactivate it.

**Shikai Special Abilities**: The special ability of the **Eikyūchintai** is **?** (?, *?*). It allows the user to put themselves in a state that can't be modified by others, granting them protection from alteration or change outside of their own doing.
* **Bankai**: **Eikyūchintai Kagamizukuri Ishikoridome** (沈滞の作鏡石凝姥命永久, *Perpetual Stagnation of the Mirror-Maker Stone-Cutting Old Woman*): Eikyūchintai Kagamizukuri Ishikoridome maintains its appearance from its Shikai state, showing no discernible differences in its appearance whatsoever. This leads some to underestimate its power.
