KATSUROU AOI'S SKILLS

SWORDSMANSHIP PRACTITIONER | Putting more time into his body, his ability to weild a blade is lacking and it is used more so as an extension of his arm more than an actual weapon. Prefering his short swords over large and bulky katanas, Aoi is still able to use his blade as a guard, blocking and parrying to create opening within his opponent to exploit.

GREAT SPIRITUAL POWER | As a captain of the Gotei Juusantai, his ability is leaps and bounds beyond even an adapt soul. Shocking given his young age, he is a legend as is any other taichou of the Gotei. The power to obtain bankai and weild such a powerful spirit is not seen except in one case in thousands of years.

MASTERFUL HAND-TO-HAND COMBATANT | Aoi’s lifetime of work has led to his greatest feat in which very few can come close to competing with. If disarmed, he is capable of fighting with a flurry of martial arts or his own styles, each one deadly and capable of swift death. His most lethal weapon is not in steel but in his own flesh and blood. He is a master of the martial arts and albiet disarming him may seem like a debilitating blow to the Niibantai taichou, it however is only adding to his fire as he not only is able to use more of his body without a weapon, but you also dishonored him.

PERFECTED AGILITY| In order to make the most use of his stealth and role as the assassin, Aoi is an expert acrobat. He is capable of doing splits and contorting his body in weird ways in order to utilize extremely unconventional styles and hide in the most cunning of places. However this agility extends as he holds one of the most powerful shunpo techniques and speeds in almost all of the seireitei. His movements are hard to keep up with and it would seem that the assassin himself merely vanished into thin air and in less time than it takes to blink at times, is behind you.

MASTERFUL SPIRITUAL CONTROL| This level of control over his spiritual pressure allows him not only to move unseen in the eyes of his enemies, however, it unlocks the ability to combine the art of spirit with martial arts in the form of shunko. He knows exactly how much energy is required in his steps and his punches to gain the right results and makes his body an even more deadly weapon.

MASTERFUL PERCEPTION| Having perfected his ability to use his own body Aoi has granted himself a level of perception that is nearly inhumane. His senses are automatic during battle and have provided him a good sense of judgement when performing the most secret and deadly of missions assigned to him. Going into enemy territory and unaware of their numbers or their abilities, this sixth sense has allowed him to see without seeing and saved himself countless times. It may not be true seeing, he can still posses an eye in the back of his head.
