Sojirō's Zanpakuto

悪劇
ASHIGAKUGEKI

Ashigakugeki is the name of Sojirō's Zanpakuto. The origin of the name literally means "The Evil Act of The Opera." Much like any normal katana, Ashigakugeki's appearance remains no different than a normal sword. The release call for Ashigakugeki's Shikai is "Saezuru", literally translating to "sing." There is significant change in appearance from the regular zanpakuto, the sword now possessing a second blade; resembling that of a tuning fork. Ashigakugeki's spirit takes the form of a beautiful and elegant woman, dressed in a all white kimono carrying a small golden harp within her grasp, something that she is rather fond of.

• 振動 ❝SHINDŌKIBA❞ Shindōkiba (lit. Vibrating Fang) is a profound ability that allows Ashigakugeki to nullify spiritual techniques that are not on par with Sojirõ's spiritual power. The two blades will begin to vibrate, emitting a rather high pitch sound; resembling that of a tuning fork being struck, which allows the true ability of the shikai to be used. By the constant vibration of the blades, when it comes into contact with a spiritual technique the constant vibration, would shift through the reiatsu; disassembling the spiritual energy and burst the technique into nothingness. It should be noted that the cutting proficiency of the sword is now greater than before, allowing him to cut through some of the most toughest defenses with ease.

• 美歌 ❝EREGANTOUTA❞ Eregantouta (lit. Elegant Song) is a technique in which gathers stored vibrations that come into the form of cutting burst of waves, which are no longer than twenty meters and travel up to forty meters before dissipating. He can summon two projectiles per swing, which are able to cut through flesh and bone with quite some ease/little to no effort. If the projectiles do make contact with a target, a disorientated/paralytic affect will take place upon the being. Due to the constant vibrations which are now released, when in contact with the human body they will begin to feel rather uneasy for a single post.

• ザ律 ❝ZARIZUMU❞ Zarizumu (lit. The Rhythm) is a technique that can be used within two ways by the Shinigami. Once again, the tuning-fork sword would begin to vibrate— emitting a high pitch sound resembling that of a true tuning-fork being struck. Now, the human body is made up of eighty percent water— with that being noted, if a target is hit by the sword (cut/scraped), they will begin to feel a nauseating effect that takes place instantly. Due to the high vibrations meeting the amount of water within the body, the large mass of water will begin to vibrate uncontrollably causing the target to be throwing up/paralyzed for a single turn. The second way this can be used by Sojirō is allowing the constant vibrations to meet the earth, which will cause a miniature earthquake within a fifty meter radius, which will summon a wave of earth to beckon before him which is thirty meters high and thirty meters wide that can go up to twenty meters; leveling buildings, disrupting the enemies, and etc.

最終的な・行為
SAISHU ・ TEKINAKOI

Saishu ・ Tekinako (lit. The Final Act) is the name of the supplementary bankai, which has proven to be quite fearsome to foes. The katana will suddenly emit a loud pitch noise, which will soon result in the sword completely vanquishing from the grasp of its wielder; the swords true abilities awakening when such has happened. The spirit of Saishutekinakoi is similar to the beautiful woman spirit of Ashigakugeki, however, the woman is wearing a black fabric and her hair is now white as snow; the harp is now larger and more define. It no longer takes on the color of gold, but now is pitch black. 

• 石ヘン ❝SUTŌNHENJI❞ Sutōnhenji (lit. Stonehenge) is one of the few strongest bankai known throughout the Soul Society. The moment the sword has vanished from within the grasp of Shinigami, the target(s) and Sojirō will soon be surrounded by many massive stones; which at one point in time was known as the Stonehedge. The stones are fifty meters high and surrounds the group in a fifty meter radius, the abilities of the bankai now coming into affect. All sound is muted when the individuals are within the Stonehedge and one cannot escape due to the immense spiritual power that bounds them to the area. Still, when any sound is made; talking, swords colliding, screaming, etc. any sound of the sort will be absorbed by the Stonehedge. Nonetheless, when four post worth of sounds have been absorbed (one from the user, one from the target/targets); a massive explosion will happen to all that are foreign to the spiritual powers of Sojirō's own, causing their bodies to be torn apart by the many sound waves stored. Affects like nausea/paralysis still come into affect.

• 超音速 ❝CHŌONSOKU❞ Chōonsoku (lit. Supersonic) This technique is moreso for the use of trying to confuse/distort the target. The loud pitch noise that is emitting from the blade when it leaves the grasp of the Shinigami, the target who listens to the devastating sound will soon be confused (if they are in a twenty-five meter radius). Everything is blurry, your right becomes your left and vice-versa— even your speech is slurred for three turns. The target will feel rather nauseous for the duration of the three turns as well. The technique is based solely on listening.
