Yoshiro zan

ZANPAKUTŌ NAME; Ichigeki (One Strike)

ZANPAKUTŌ FORM; Ichigeki unreleased form is nothing special. A standard katana with a black cloth around the hilt, it doesn't have any defining features. 

ZANPAKUTŌ SPIRIT FORM; Much like what Yoshiro represents, Ichigeki appears as a blind shirtless monk. His eyes are covered with a cloth similar to what is wrapped around his hands and forearms. He stands about the height Yoshiro stood before his body began to lurch due to aging. Ichigeki has a bald head aside from the long pony tail. 

RELEASE PHRASE; 与える Ataeru(Give)

SHIKAI FORM; The blade shatters into dust, reforging itself around Yoshiro's arms and forearms like the cloth around his spirit's. This process happens in a flash, and is even possible without holding the blade. The cloth gives off a glowing white smoke that trails behind him as he moves. 

• NAMELESS PASSIVE; The smoke that is released gives off the image that Yoshiro's movements are delayed. The delay time for his movements are so severe, that it may not be realized that he has moved until a full five seconds. This fools even the greatest of perception, even fooling his wife who is proven to be a MASTER at reading things in the battlefield. 
  

• 仕上げ SHIAGE(Finish); The technique is simple, yet incredibly scary and deceptive. Upon his fist making contact with anything, Yoshiro can release the entire force of his reiatsu and shikai at once. The cloth around his wrists explodes into dust once again, sending all of it's force and power through the target. This hasn't been seen to have a counter, though it is assumed that something above his spiritual pressure would be able to resist it. It isn't recommended to test the extent of his shikai's ability. 

BANKAI NAME; Ichigeki Hissatsu (one strike certain kill)

BANKAI RELEASE PHRASE; 与える Ataeru(Give)

BANKAI FORM; There is no difference between the bankai and shikai form aside from outputting more of the glowing smoke. This has lead to many believing he doesn't truly have a bankai due to how he displays it.

• NAMELESS PASSIVE; Where once the smoke merely made his movements seemed delayed, the smoke has become more of a weapon. Now the smoke fills the area, nearly fifty yards around Yoshiro, covering in the area in a veil that even the strongest of eyes cannot pierce. Vision is not only unable to be used while within the smoke and looking into it, the smoke inhibits the use of the other senses. Reiatsu can't be felt, scent can't be smelled, sounds can't be heard, and even tasting the air is impossible. However, those that process truer sight, or something similar or more powerful, can effectively see in it. Although they may be able to see, they still fall prey to the original delay the smoke causes in seeing Yoshiro's movements. 

• 真の仕上げ SHIN NO SHIAGE(true finish); Very much the same as his shikai variant, though now with the force of his bankai. However, there is a key difference in the application of the ability. This attack can come from nearly any distance, causing Yoshiro to near instantly appear with his attack half an inch from the target. Once contact is made, the cloth bursts into dust, but the damage isn't felt immediately. As the dust drifts around the target, the glowing particles peels the smoke away, letting the target see exactly what hit them. The moment this happens, the damage is felt and the target is obliterated, joining the dust in the air regardless of their understanding of what hit them. A clean death, and a true end to their existence.
