ZANPAKUTOU FORM: Upon uttering the release phrase, "Explore Viajero," an explosion of raw Reiatsu will burst out from Nico's body, concealing him from sight as he takes on his new form. His body is covered in a sleek suit of armour, streamlined and flexible so as not to obstruct his physical actions, the black metal a durable defence against attacks. The only exposed area in this form is Nico’s face, his eyes and mouth visible underneath his horned helmet, the crimson hue of his Reiatsu illuminating his eyes.
His Zanpakuto is still present in this form, also transforming to match Nico's new form. The cross-guard on the hilt extends outwards and the skull awakens, opening both its eyes and its mouth, while the blade in its entirety darkens in colour. In accordance with the increase in physical strength granted by entering his resurreccion form, the weight of his Zanpakuto increases once more to ten metric tons, though Nico is still able to wield it handily.
EJECTA: Ejecta is a technique for large-scale, long-range, teleportation. By designating an area to be teleported, Nico generates a transparent sphere that encompasses said area, surrounding it and sectioning it off with his cosmic Reiatsu. Smaller areas are encompassed instantly, while larger ones take some time to prepare (between one and two posts, dependant on the scale.) All objects within this area are then teleported to a pre-determined location of Nico’s choice, within the dimension of the object’s origin. Alternatively, Nico can choose to teleport the designated area to his land in Las Noches, the cross-dimensional teleportation to this location only achievable due to the quantity of his residual Reiatsu in his land acting like a beacon. The energy required to accomplish this is determined by the size of the area and the distance moved, increasing proportionately with these two variables, limited only by his reserves. This technique can be prevented by rendering Nico incapable of performing it, though it is impossible to destroy the boundaries of the cube as a result of their cosmic nature, much like Negacion.
Ejecta can also be applied in a melee fashion, binding his cosmic Reiatsu to whatever limb he wishes to strike the target with, giving it a teleportation effect. Following the same rules as above, the chosen destination must be designated prior to executing the technique; the chosen limb radiating hazy energy upon activation. As a more focused form of Ejecta, designed specifically for use on smaller objects such as his opponents, the range of the technique is greatly increased (and thus the cost for teleporting is less, overall.) In addition, this form of Ejecta also allows Nico to teleport targets to other dimensions if he so wishes, though the cost is increased. Upon making contact with an opponent, the energy surrounding Nico’s limb will transfer to their entire body, teleporting them to Nico’s chosen location instantly. As an instant ability, the ability is completely incapable of being prevented beyond dodging the attack, even “blocking” the attack physically causing the target to be teleported. The energy lasts on Nico’s limbs for two posts, and can be applied to as many of his own limbs as he wishes.
EVENT HORIZON: Event Horizon is a technique that focuses on Nico's strengths in a one on one environment, allowing him to generate a space that only he and his foe can inhabit so as to force them into single combat. Upon choosing a target he wishes to battle alone, Nico will let loose a pulse of Reiatsu from his body, enveloping the two warriors in a sphere of translucent energy. Anybody else caught in this sphere of Reiatsu will be pushed back in an irresistible manner by the dimensional walls, as only the two fighters are permitted to enter that space. The two fighters will be immediately transported to a parallel dimension to the one they previously inhabited, identical in all manners save for the lack of any other living beings besides the two. The only way to escape this realm is for one of the two fighters to die, in which case the technique is dispersed and they will appear once more in the original dimension. All forms of attempting to escape this dimension, such as Garganta, Senkaimon and teleporting away will result in the technique in question being instantly negated. Techniques that would cause matter or energy to cross through different/multiple dimensions will not work, though techniques that transport matter/energy within a single dimension will still be effective.
CONSTELLATION: Nico is capable of using his spatial Reiatsu to replicate himself up to five times, allowing him to exist in up to six places at once while the technique is active. The doppelgangers, as a result of their nature as fragile replicas, are dispersed with an attack capable of wounding Nico (techniques that wouldn’t damage Nico will not destroy them.) As they are one entity they have access to all of his techniques, communicate wordlessly, and are perfect copies of Nico in all ways. It is completely impossible to determine the real Nico from his replicas; all possessing the exact same appearance, the same Reiatsu pressure and any wounds dealt to the real Nico will appear on them. If this technique is used in Nico’s unrestrained form, his resurreccion (or Segunda Etapa if achieved,) the replicas will appear in those forms with access to those techniques. These replicas last up to 3 posts, though can be sustained for longer durations if an additional cost is paid.
METEOR PROCESSION: In a similar vein to his Constellation technique Nico is capable of replicating his weapon up to a hundred times, allowing it to exist multiple times in a single reality. The weapons are identical to the original weapon wielded by Nico in all aspects including sharpness, durability and weight. Upon the activation of this technique the replicas will materialise in a twenty meter radius of Nico, launching towards their intended target at a speed halfway between that of his Cero and Bala. Each weapon's trajectory is completely separate and is determined by Nico's will, though he can choose a random spread to confuse his targets and make it harder to predict. Nico has limited telekinetic control over these objects upon firing, allowing him to make slight alterations in their trajectory upon being fired, though for the most part they are limited to being used as projectiles. These swords will last two posts before dissipating into nothingness, though they can last indefinitely if Nico wills them to continue existing. As is the case with Nico's Constellation technique, all weapons will posses the properties of the original regardless of release state.
TEKTITE: Tektite is a variation of the Hollow technique Bala, solidifying the surface of the orb rather than leaving it as a sphere of pure destructive energy. This supplements the concussive force of the impact with a fragmentation effect, exploding like a grenade upon contact with a surface, dispersing the solid shell outwards as additional projectiles. The fragments of the shell are capable of deep lacerations, causing large open wounds, remaining imbedded within the victim’s flesh until removed.
REDSHIFT: Redshift is a teleportation technique, allowing Nico to move between any two points within his range instantaneously without occupying the space in between, accomplished by applying the cosmic nature of his Reiatsu to his steps. The range of this technique is equivalent to the maximum range of his Sonido, and consumes the same amount of energy to accomplish this feat, effectively replacing Sonido with this technique. As this 'stepping technique' requires no physical cues or any actual 'stepping' to accomplish, this is not affected by items or abilities that affect the users ability to perform said techniques, nor is the destination capable of being tracked as there is no ‘path’ to predict. In addition to its purpose as a 'stepping technique,' Redshift also possesses the property of being one of Nico's methods to transport to the various dimensions of his reality, allowing him to teleport into other dimensions.
His Zanpakuto is still present in this form, also transforming to match Nico's new form. The cross-guard on the hilt extends outwards and the skull awakens, opening both its eyes and its mouth, while the blade in its entirety darkens in colour. In accordance with the increase in physical strength granted by entering his resurreccion form, the weight of his Zanpakuto increases once more to ten metric tons, though Nico is still able to wield it handily.

Took out the part where the number of blades increases in Res to sever any link to the release, also rewritten to not be exclusive to his Zanpakuto (as I guess this also implied res) and made it all weapons. Code in previous post was also amended to the updated version
