## Powers & Abilities

**Superhuman Strength**:

**Enhanced Speed**:

**Enhanced Endurance**:

**Enhanced Durability**:

**Spiritual Awareness**:

**Zanjutsu Master**: The first art of Zankensoki that Hakutō was taught, Hakutō is inherently skilled in Zanjutsu, as he was able to even teach the likes of the Ten no Tsukai through their Hagaromo. Notably, Hakutō is capable of resonating with his Zanpakutō with relative ease, but he is able to inflict every blow with the power of a Daiken due to his fundamental connection with his Zanpakutō and his general skill. This skill in Zanjutsu allows him to utilize it even when wielding the likes of a scythe or kusarigama. Having studied under Ame Sawada in the art of Zanjutsu, Hakutō is a skilled user of **Oretaken-ryū** (折れた剣流, *Broken Sword Style*) as he, much like Ame, is capable of freely detonating his Zanpakutō and reforming it. Alongside this, Hakutō is also very capable in regards to utilizing **Yureru** (揺れる, *Sway*).

**Hoho Master**: Hakutō can be considered nothing short of a master at Hoho, having adopted a **Jinsokudō** (神速道, *Way of Godly Speed*) based style of combat due to Ichimaru Yuya having taught him **Kōmapō** (紅魔法, *Crimson Demon Step*). As such, Hakutō does not specialize in traditional Hoho wherein one modulates their interaction with Reishi, rather, he truly specializes in bodily Hoho. Due to Kōmapo’s training, Hakutō is capable of using all of his energy as a means of bolstering his speed at the cost of defense, attaining a speed that surpasses. **Shinpō** (神歩, *Godly Step*). Not only is Hakutō capable of doing this, but he has learned to customize and modify so that he’s able to exceed even these speeds without sacrificing his defense. Even then, Hakutō has learned standard Hoho, having attained Shinpō for himself!

* **Psycho** (*Saikō, 最紅; lit.* **Extreme Crimson**) - Created by Ichimaru Yuya, Hakutō uses Hoho to interact with Tokuatsu around him, using Saketsu to augment that Tokuatsu. This enhances the effect of Hoho by enhancing his environment, thereby doubling the Hoho effectiveness in the process without having to alter his stance, allowing him to exceed Kōmapo safely! However, Hakutō is not only able to push Psycho to a "Psycho V.2" by using his Saketsu to augment the Tokuatsu that he interacts with during Hoho, but he is also capable of expensing stamina to push his Saketsu to the limit in exchange for pushing the local kishi and or reishi to their limit. This inevitably destroys the kishi and or reishi with their own augmented Tokuatsu as a means granting highest possible boost. Yet, pushing it this far incites severe explosive reactions and environmental damage, making it detrimental to allies unless Hakutō is carrying them.
* **Kōho** (*紅帆, Crimson Sail*) - Under Ichimaru Jin’s tutelage, Hakutō learned how to create solar sail-like wings with his reiatsu. By doing so when using his strongest Psycho, Hakutō is able to push himself faster by having his wings absorb the heat and light generated by the explosions!

**Kido Master**: Hakutō, as a Togabitō, exhibits an aptitude for Kidō as his Kidō Organ his more powerful. Due to having been trained by Tengen, Hakutō was drilled into learned the applications of **Bakudō** (縛道, *Binding Spell*). This was also partially due to his inherent gift at casting Hadō, as Hellish Reiryoku is inherently destructive and powerful. As a result, he capable of skipping explosion based parts of casting in favor of simply letting his Reiryoku detonate.

**Hakuda Master**: His final form of Zankensoki he learned, Hakutō had the fortune of being trained by Bubba, Hakutō was able to skip the basics and learn **Tendachi** (天立ち, *Heavenly Stance*). Due to his learning of Tendachi, Hakutō is able to manipulate his Reiryoku on an cellular, if not atomic level. Through this, he capable of replicating High-Speed Generation, but notably, this enhances his style of Hoho. In being able to utilize his Zanpakutō’s Reiryoku, he’s only able to exacerbate this. Also due to this training, Hakutō is able to maximize each stance and surpass even the likes of **Kyūryu** (急流, *Rapids*), allowing him to not only flow through stances much quicker, but also maximize each component of his body individually for each situation.

* **Giseida** (*犠牲打, Sacrificial* Hits) - Hakutō was trained by Bubba in the art of Giseida, a Forbidden Form of Hakuda which grows stronger in the same manner of which a Forbidden Kidō would. However, rather than sacrificing his own life, Hakutō sacrifices sin and even the plants from his Hagaromō, thereby allowing him to use Giseida at any time without detriment to himself.

**Kitō Expert**

* **Invisible Hands** *(透明手「インビジブル・ハンドズ」, Inbijiburu Handozu; Japanese for: Transparent Hands)*: A standard technique among the Ten no Tsukai, Hakutō is capable of producing his Invisible Hands by using his Hagaromo in its concealed form. Notably, while his Invisible Hands are not as potent as one such as Shehaqim, Hakutō is still adept enough with his Invisible Hands to perform Zanjutsu through them and tasks with them.
* **Shiraha** *(白羽, White Feathers)*: Hakutō is capable of using Shiraha to augment his speed. Upon usage, Shiraha leaves behind white feathers behind. Hakutō is capable of abusing Shiraha in a manner which takes the heat produced by the Shiraha and uses it to augment his speed by way of Kōho. Notably, Hakutō is also capable of preventing himself from being tracked, as the feathers erase their energy trail.
* **Raihō** *(来訪, Visit)*: A rudimentary technique, Hakutō is capable of utilizing Raihō. Though, Hakutō does not exit hit the same finesse and power than Pillars and Guardians do, limiting his Raihō in comparison.
* **Setsuri** *(摂理, Providence)*: Hakutō is capable of activating Setsuri as a means of sensing. This allows Hakutō to gaze into the flow of time to see upcoming events. Hakutō is capable of infusing Setsuri into the chains he perceives to look at the flow of time each chain exhibits, making it neigh impossible to fool his chain-sight.

### Hagaromo

**Seieidaiō** (*聖嬰大王, Boy Sage King/Red Boy*) is Hakutō’s combat Hagaromo gifted to him by Tetta. His Hagaromo, Seieidaiō, is modeled after Gyūkimaru and Shinryoku respectively. Much like the Ira that predated it, Hakutō fused Seieidaiō with his Zanpakutō, thereby making his Hagaromo his Zanpakutō and vice versa. That being said, Seieidaiō itself grants Hakutō the ability to become what is essentially a minor version of Hell, akin to Araboth. However, Hakutō is unable to freely create and spawn Kushanada or inflict others with sin by just expanding his Hagaromo. Rather, Hakutō is able to generate fruit which is capable of giving an entity a Peccatum or Virtus for up to twenty-four hours. Notably, Hakutō is also capable of splitting off his Hagaromo like "seeds" in order to it to grow trees which exhibit and generate Hell's Reimyaku as easily as other trees produce oxygen! Not only this, but the trees amplify virtus or peccatum passively. Along with this, Hakutō is able to infuse his Zanpakutō with sin or virtue in order to change the blade itself into a Peccatum or Virtus, allowing him to reprise his Ira-blade, but also allowing him to go further without the need for Bankai!

#### Hell Chains

**Hell Chains** *(地獄鎖, Jigokusari)*: Due to his Hagaromo, Hakutō is able to access and generate to **Hell Chains**, the “indestructible” link between one and Hell. He boasts exemplary knowledge and skill when it comes to utilizing his chains due to his past as a Togabito, being able to utilize them even in their “invisible state”. He’s even capable of utilizing them to sense vibrations in his immediate vicinity, allowing him to attack with his chains without looking at his opponent, giving the impression that they have a mind of their own.

With these, he’s also able to utilize the standard techniques such as **Aranea** to a magnificent extent, using acute control of his chains to propel himself and alter directions in mid-air with speeds that surpass even Shunpō. Despite his ability to stand on the air freely, Hakutō prefers standing on his chains when invisible. Unlike those who stand freely, by standing on his chains he’s able to launch himself and maneuver due to him knowing his chain’s dimensions better than anyone else. After training with Ichimaru Yuya, Hakutō learned that every tiny movement counts. To make up for his small stature, he learned to be more precise while prioritizing speed.

After speaking to Snowball, Hakutō became aware of **Catena Praesidium** (*Latin for*: **Chain Reinforcement**), a maneuver invented by none other than his father, Ushi Atama. By pumping his Chains full of Reiryoku, he’s able to enhance their hardness and durability, giving way to the name “Indestructible Chains”. Due to this, Hakutō also figured that he can use his Reiryoku to afflict his chains further, down to speed or power. But most importantly, he also learned that since his chains are perfect conductors of his Reiryoku, he’s capable of detonating them without worry as his chains will inevitably regenerate.

### Zanpakutō

**Shu no Setsuri** redirects here. For the manifested spirit see Shu no Setsuri (Zanpakutō spirit).

**Shu no Setsuri** (朱の摂理, *Vermillion Providence*) : Hakutō's Zanpakutō does not have a concrete shape. Rather, as his Zanpakutō is fundamentally his Ira, he can manifest it into any weapon he so desires. Before the Seven-Year-Timeskip, this took the appearance of a scythe comprised of vermillion energy. However, upon attaining a new style focused on his speed, Hakutō began to adopt a short blade comprised of the same energy, fit with a gold, skull adorned crossbar and a gilded hilt.

* **Shikai Special Ability**: Shu no Setsuri under normal circumstances possesses the ability to see and cut one to see the **Lines of Fate** (因果の線, *Inga no Sen*), an imitation at the Kushanada’s natural ability to view chains. However, upon bonding with Hakutō, and his former Peccatum, the ability to see lines ultimately became chains, thereby allowing him to see the Chains of Fate to a limited degree, as while the even the weakest of Kushanada could see the chains of even objects, Hakutō was limited to the living. Upon severing these lines, or in Hakutō’s case, chains, Hakutō is capable of weakening or debuffing something in response to the specific chain that was cut. In essence, severing a mobility chain will thereby cripple someone and limit their mobility.

**Bankai**: **Hikōnosai** (朱后の裁, *Arbiter of the Scarlet Empress*): Hikōnosai is the evolution and Bankai of Shu no Setsuri. As such, Hikōnosai not only grants Hakutō sight of the Chains of Fate which is comparable to that of Kushanada, as he now becomes capable of seeing the Chains of all souls be they alive or inanimate. However, atop of his existing ability to sever and discern chains, Hakutō truly becomes an agent of Hell, as Hikōnosai was designed to emulate the Kushanada in the most pure fashion. As a result, and due to his Peccatum’s connection with his Zanpakutō, Hakutō thereby becomes able to manipulate and influence his own sin without detriment to himself. This allows him to convert said sin into any Peccatum, or even any Virtus. As a side effect of activating his Bankai, Hakutō’s body is influenced in a manner akin to that when he is in Hell. As such, he returns to “Adult Hakutō”.
