"Hajike, Dokuga"

[RESTED FORM]
Dokuga's sealed form consists of a single wakizashi blade. The blade is of the normal steel coloration, however it has been known that no matter the damage taken; the blade seems to retain it's shine. The tsuba (guard) on the blade itself is simple circle with intricate markings, that span outward from the top of the handle. The handle itself mainly black with diamond silver patterns up both sides, the hilt also a pure black which seems to not reflect any light whatsoever. The sheathe is also a pitch black in color, from the very top of the guard downwards (where sheathe meets guard), there are three silver lines that go around the entire sheathe. Three more exist after that, around 3 inches apart from one another for each of them. Kyoko used to wear her zanpakuto on her back hip, however, after gaining Bankai her zanpakuto now always rests attached to her left hip for easy access from her right hand. Now also thanks to gaining Bankai, once drawing the weapon, the sheath disappears, or rather appears to melt away like acid and into thin air, only reappearing again moments before Kyoko sheathes Dokuga.

[ZANPAKUTŌ SPIRIT & HABITAT]
Regardless of all Zanpakuto's used and seen before, and after him, it is not merely just a weapon to be used. Residing deep within the blade itself is the very thing she calls onto for power when needed- the part of her soul that's irreplaceable no matter what- the male spirit; Dokuga. After gaining Bankai, the appearance of Dokuga has changed a fair amount, no longer the child he once was. Now standing at an imposing six feet four inches he easily towers over most other beings, be they spirit or Shinigami. However, despite this change most of his features remain the same, but loosing the appearance of a boy and now more of a grown man. Possessing rare silver colored hair, that seems to have a lavender tint when reflected from sunlight. Kept in a short style, coming down to cover his ears and half way down his neck. Bangs coming downwards from his face in three separate parts, two near his eyes and the other touching near his nose. The most noticeable trait about this young spirit however, are his eyes or a lack of seeing any eye color at all. Always within a slitted appears, when first seen Kyo had thought that he was blind; but that is far from the case. It isn't known why he chooses to do this, but so far Dokuga has never been seen with said slitted eyes open; thus it remains a mystery. Clothing wise, Dokuga still wears the traditional Shihakushō, on top of this now however is a plain haori, very similar to that of a Gotei Captain, and like before the sealed form of this blade still remains on his left hip, just like his mistress. When not needing to fight, the male spirit can be found in various human world clothing, saying that he prefers it to his own, this is normally a sign that he doesn't want to do much and as Kyoko's calls it 'being overly lazy', which annoys her to no end.

The other side of Dokuga or Gin has not changed as a result of Bankai, still taking the non-humanoid form of a large nine foot snake, with scales of the purest white, reflecting in sunlight in which they then turn a brilliant silver. However, like before, Dokuga rarely if ever changes into this natural form of his, due to liking his other more human looking form much better than this one. Due to the nature of Kyoko's Bankai, when said release is in use. As well as recently as well, she has taken to calling her Spirit by a name other than his own. Working in a way so that Dokuga would appear to others to seem like a normal Shinigami and not a spirit at all. Going off the color of his hair, Kyo refers to him as simply 'Gin' meaning silver, which he doesn't seem to mind so it seems.

Much like previously, Dokuga or Gin still pushes Kyoko to her limits, always making sure she is at the top of her game with whatever she wishes to do, and that he is able to aid her with whatever she wishes. Do not be fooled by Dokuga's determination to help his partner achieve her own goals, most of the time this young man is very laid back, to the point of being overly lazy. His manner that of a grown man yet still holding some characteristics of a young boy, however, don't take this as him allowing just anyone to come near him. Those worthy of seeing either of his forms are so far only his partner Kyoko, as like his master, he isn't one to trust easily at all. Despite all this, he keeps a close eye on Kyoko and her well being, only wanting what is best for her. From this over time the pair work very well together, regardless of petty arguments every so often. After gaining Bankai this bond has only increased to the point were neither need to speak to know what the other wants to happen, and in battle this is reflective by almost instinctive thinking and tactics to make sure they get the job done.

The world in which Dokuga dwells is a strange one. It exists within three separate areas, all of which are interlinked to one another. The first area is that of a large dojo, surrounded by four walls that protect such a place. Along with this, this large compound also holds living areas enough for four people to use freely, with various rooms coming off the main dojo. Despite not needing to actually 'live' like a normal person or shinigami, Kyoko has found that Doku does in fact live in such a manner. Saying that he gets to bored just sitting around all day, so she has come to expect to find the young spirit here most of the time. The second area lies just outside that immediate area of the dojo, mostly to the south and south west. This area is that of a large forest, that presents itself for a very good area to train in, as well as explore. The forest itself is normally a lush green, unless Kyo's mood changes it is only then does this area change as a result.

The third and largest area interlinked is that of a large and advanced city, with buildings reaching up into even the clouds themselves, it is here that Kyoko seems to find Doku the most. The city filled withe everything you would expect, shops, restaurants, parks, and a large bay that stretches to a river that seems never-ending. Regardless of this, Kyo seems to see this place as the best place to trait her Synesthesia ability, allowing her to try to spot objects through walls and move around quickly in closed off areas. Giving her training in various areas that also seemed to have helped when fighting in the world of the living as well. Days pass like any normal world would, although Dokuga can change this by his own will, when the sun sets. It seems to show off an inspiring sight that is breathtaking to anyone fortunate enough to witness it.

[SHIKAI PRESENTATION]
When released into Shikai, Kyoko's blade does not change it's appearance in the slightest, making it much harder for an opponent to tell if she has even released her weapon or not. From release, Dokuga can be used in one main way. This is the ability to be able to extend in a perfectly straight line at tremendous speeds, the blade only seen as a glowing bright white line when this ability is activated, only returning to it's silver steel coloration when back to it's normal length and size. She is able to change the direction of the blade, any time during her attack towards her opponent as long as the blade has not connected with the target yet; mostly doing this mentally but sometimes physically as well. She can also maintain the extended blade and swing the activated Dokuga in wide arcs, attacking multiple targets quickly and simultaneously. Dokuga also returns to it's normal size at the same speed of release, as such many previous opponents have not been able to or have found it very hard to track the blade's movements; even those with excellent perception have trouble doing so. When in Shikai, the blade becomes double-edged and thus highly sharp on both sides, making her a hard opponent to face in close combat. For the mean time the maximum length and speed that Dokuga can extend in Shikai is unknown.

[SHIKAI ABILITIES]

YŪUDOKUKE [有毒気, POISONOUS TOUCH]
The main ability of Dokuga, when disregarding the two main ways Kyoko's zanpakuto can be used. When cuts are made by Dokuga's blade, poison is released into the wound inflicted. The bigger the cut leads to the more poison entering the foe's blood stream. Then, with the command "Pierce" (ピアース), the poison is activated and begins shutting down the nervous system of her target until they finally die as a result of the poisoning. Once the command is spoken, the poison will slowly spread over time, as once every two minutes the poison spreads further and little by little shuts down the nervous system and senses of the target. After a total of ten posts under this effect, the target will cease to live, however if able to knock out the wielder before then the poison will stop taking effect, but what has already been done (such as the loss of a sense) will need to be treated within a hour or permanent damage may occur to the target. Kyoko can use this technique on up to three people at one time, however doing more than two at once drains her spiritual pressure supply quite quickly. There is no limit to the number of wounds Kyo can leave on a target, as a result this ability is very useful when within a drawn out battle. Despite this poison being deadly, having worked with her Shikai for so long, Kyoko has become immune to her own blade's poison as well as various other types.

SENSŌGATAGA [千牙ワールド, THOUSAND FANG WORLD]
Activated with the command "Divide" (花咲く), Kyoko can let her blade split in numerous smaller versions (up to 12) to circumvent any obstacle in its way, with precise accuracy. Kyo has shown the ability to use this technique to hit multiple targets standing close to each other, although it seems the separate blades cannot part from each other for an overly long time before retracting again.

KIBASAZAME [牙雨, FANG RAIN]
Activated with the command "Rain" (雨), Kyoko performs Kibasazame by extending Dokuga into the air, causing swords to rain down on her opponent from high above. Kyo has also shown an underground method to this technique as well. By stabbing the ground, she can form several blades to stab from the ground, surrounding an opponent as they are cut at all angles. Should an opponent be attacked through the ground with Kibasazame, Kyo can maintain the different blades closely around her adversary, creating a razor-sharp prison; making it very hard for any foe to escape without seriously hurting themselves in the process.

KOROSU, DOKUGA[毒の牙を、殺す, KILL, POISON FANG]
This is as Kyoko has stated, her strongest ability in Shikai if used correctly. She has stated previously that she can turn the poison from the Yūdokuke ability into a corrosive poison that dissolves molecules in the body as well as break down cells. Uttering the words, "Kill Dokuga", which then produces an immediate effect. The only limitation of this skill is that the poison produced by Dokuga stays in area of the wound(s), and thus is unable to travel to things such as vital organs. With this ability, Kyo has been known to only use this at the very end of a battle; knowing the longer a battle is drawn out the better her chances of causing some major damage.

"Bankai. Hakyoku No Dokuga"

[激変毒の牙; Cataclysmic Poisonous Fang]

[BANKAI PRESENTATION]
Upon entering the form of Hakyoku no Dokuga, Kyoko's appearance physically or attire wise does not change whatsoever. Overall there is no apparent change when she enters Bankai, save for the Spiritual Pressure she releases. Hakyoku no Dokuga's Bankai form only further amplifies it's Shikai abilities, its power, length and speed are vastly amplified. The blade's tremendous cutting power is significantly increased, to the point were even the strongest defenses are known to crumble before the relentless assault of Hakyoku no Dokuga. The main advantage gained and the deadliest yet also unknown aspect of Hakyoku no Dokuga is not within its large destructive potential, extreme length, or wide sweeping range, but rather within the speed with which it can extend and contract its blade in one motion. Kyoko's Bankai can extend to it's full length at 500 times the speed of sound: exactly 171,500 meters per second in order to arrive at its full length of 12km (7.4 miles) in roughly under 0.07 seconds, which makes Hakyoku no Dokuga not the longest Zanpakuto, but the fastest within the Soul Society currently. Having learnt from her own Zanpakuto Spirit and taken this idea from him, whenever asked about her Bankai, Kyo most of the time downplays the speed at which it can move whenever she talks about her Zanpakuto, instead increasing it's length and wide range even further to trick anyone who does ask, merely as a precaution should she some day come to fight them. Besides the boost gained from Bankai, Kyoko gains three new abilities for her personal use, these making to ensure her targets stay dead; no matter how many there may be.

[BANKAI ABILITIES]

BANKAI SPECIAL ABILITY
The special ability of Hakyoku no Dokuga does not effect Kyoko personally as one would expect, nor does it effect what her Zanpakuto can do either. But something else entirely. This ability allows Hakyoku no Dokuga to manifest physically within the world that all Shinigami dwell in. Dokuga's appearance does not change when manifesting into the same world as his mistress. He is able to manifest at the same time as the initial release of Bankai, or simply appear when Kyoko wishes him to. He remains able to fight for as long as Bankai remains active, regardless of the distance, he will still be there unless Bankai is no longer active, or Kyoko is knocked unconscious. If he is beaten while within battle and Bankai is still active otherwise, Kyoko will gain a second identical blade to the original with the same skills, allowing her to work with two blades instead of one should she wish it. The young male seems to posses the same skills as his mistress, the only difference being his superior skill with Zanjustu, a trait Kyo has yet to learn. Overall this proves to be the most useful ability Kyoko gains from Bankai, being able to surprise attack from any direction and making it all the harder for the target(s) in question to eliminate either of them.

GYAKUSATSU KAKEI NO DOKU [虐殺花茎毒の, SLAUGHTERSCAPE OF POISON]
Upon uttering the phrase Kyuukei, Hakyoku no Dokuga (ブレーク, 激変毒の牙, Break, Cataclysmic Poisonous Fang), this ability is then unleashed. Once unleashed around both the opponent(s) and the wielder are enveloped in what appears to be an entirely difference space. However, this is not true. By using the wielder's blood to start this technique, the user must have part of their blood on their own weapon for this to work. Once having done so, five rows of glowing white swords will surround the opponent(s) and the user, moving continuously in both a clockwise and anticlockwise direction. If the wielder has control of two blades at the time this technique is used, the second given blade will shatter and act as a substitute for the wielder's blood for this technique. Gyakusatsu Kakei No Doku seals any opponent(s) Kyoko is fighting with/chooses along with Kyoko herself within this created space, leaving neither room to escape. Although the space itself is large enough to allow large movement. It has also been shown that this space can block attacks from the outside, and vice versa nothing is let out in terms of other attacks unless this technique is deactivated by the user. If the Bankai special ability has ceased to function and thus the manifested Spirit to be destroyed, while this technique is active that Spirit returns for the duration that this technique stays active. Within this space, Kyoko can use all of her techniques, including those she lost from gaining Bankai, allowing the blades moving to act like whips as well as straight blades. These moving blades can attack from all directions as one, or Kyo may choose either mentally or via verbal command. Alternatively she can use one of these moving blades as her own weapon which appear as her sealed Zanpakuto when used. Within this technique, Hakyoku no Dokuga throws away most forms of defense besides that which is vital, in favor of all out offense and total destruction. So far Kyoko only uses this technique as a last resort in the situation that most other methods do not work, as this puts a lot of strain on her body currently, due to her lack of mastery with Bankai.
