氿雨
HARUSAME
Harusame (氿雨, Lit. Spring Rain) is the name of the Zanpakuto that has been Nanami's partner since the beginning. Just under seven hundred years of bonding and time spent with one another has gifted their relationship an impossibly strong bond. Because of this, fluid in her hands would be the greatest understatement one could make. The blade itself resembles the beautiful thought of spring that gingerly lingers in ones mind at the thought. An ivory sheathe keeps the blade at bay, one that holds no scuffs or scathes, it's surface reflecting the very sun itself in it's brilliance. Inside, fitted perfectly is the woman's zanpakuto: a Wakizashi that measures a unremarkable 20 in. but is otherwise fitted for the small, tender hands of it's owner. The very style of the blade itself is suited for quick drawing and it's ability to be hid much more easily beneath a Captain's robe than a traditional Katana. When Mae reveals the blade, whether it be instantly or dramatically, the sheen of the blade is as immaculate as the surface of the water; it's blade as deadly as the tide and as sharp as the rocks upon which it forces others upon. Like it' sheathe, the hilt is a clean ivory color and it's guard a spherical shaped silver plating, the edge line with emeralds and sapphires blended to create a beautiful assortment of colors. When the former captain speaks the phrase: "Wash away my sins, Harusame." The effect grants the woman the ability to control, manipulate, and make her own, any source of water nearby with the exception of the kind in other human beings. The blade's appearance does not change at all. Rather, the very substance the blade is made out turns into that of water; allowing her to blade to be destroyed, damaged, etc. and still be made anew from any source of water.
- 閃光 ❝Senkou❞ (閃光, Glint) is a skill that uses the water molecules in front of a blade to give Nanami an edge; one that utilizes a sneaky tactic as opposed to an upfront attack. Whether it be a stabbing attack or one that relies on slashing motions, Mae is able to form almost instantly an extra 10 feet of extra blade length by solidifying and infusing the water around that specific area with her reishi. The attack is capable of bisecting opponents and piercing through skin and bone as easily as lapping your hand through water. Like with all of her techniques, the shape, length, and density is subject to her will. She could create one thick enough to hack away a midsection or one so thin your face would form a question before your death of what exactly stabbed you.
- 浸食 ❝Shinshoku❞ (浸食, Erosion) is the the long range technique provided by her Shikai. By taking her blade and cutting the air around her in rapid and precise strokes, she's able to form impossibly thin, sharp, and serrate edged arcs of water. Dozens to hundred encompass the small field, and when she wills it, travel forth fast enough to create a humming sound through the air. As they near they consciously begin to meld together with one another, creating denser and more cleanly sharpened crescent shaped projectiles, the like of which decrease their overall number, but increase their toughness and cutting strength. Should they land, they have the ability to cleanly slice through limbs and even kill should it hit the right areas.
- 蓴菜 ❝Junsai❞ (蓴菜, Water Shield) is a technique that is more passive than active. By being one with her zanpakuto, her spirit takes it upon himself to protect her almost unconsciously. Around her, in a three feet radius all around, the water in the air is capable of being manipulated to form a shield at the exact point of any impact or intrusion. Not only does this allow her to focus on other things, but also gives her a solid defense against though who would attempt any stealth based combat techniques. The shield, encompassing every centimeter of those three feet, get's denser as one forces their way past it, and as such, becomes harder to 'pull' from should they attempt to escape; the water seeking to consume it's target the deeper it gets. The shield itself is incapable of blocking kido or energy based attacks. (cero, etc.)
軍倒春嵐
GUNTOSHUNRAN
(軍倒春嵐, Army Toppling Spring Storm) is the name of her bankai. By ensuring that it's the only way she can reign victorious, she takes it upon herself to enter what has effectively labeled her one of the deadliest Soul Society has ever offered, and donning her the nickname "Crimson Rain"; the sky itself seeming to rain the very blood of those she dictates to be killed. Uttering the phrase "Bankai" she stills the very air around her in a harmless shockwave of reishi. Appearing above the combatants a series of rainclouds so vast and wide that even the most perceptive would note that the horizon of clouds is seemingly endless. From within' the clouds a torrential rain fall would occur soaking any and everything for miles. Any attempt to dissipate them, no matter how successful is in vain as they always return like a servant to her will. Not only as her powers increased as well, but techniques in her shikai are increased to a level beyond what they were; truly becoming a goddess of her blade.
- 洋紅序曲 ❝Youkoujokyoku❞ (洋紅序曲, Crimson Overture) This ability is a passive that is forever activated so long as she retains her bankai form. Everything that falls inside of her Bankai- and thus, under the vast expanse of clouds and rainfall- she get's an unconscious 'sixth' sense for. In other words, without even attempting too, she can track any and everything that exists within'. Regardless of ones speed or teleportation techniques, any disturbance, motion, or lack thereof is understood immediately. The effect gives her a near omnipotence within' the summoning; a technique that proves useful in combat with multiple foes. The near perfection perception only seeks to empower her shield from the previous blades form, granting a range increase of 7 feet and increasing not only it's strength and durability, but it's toughness to retreat from as well.
- 洋紅序曲春の撫でる ❝Youkoujokyoku: Haru no Naderu❞ (洋紅序曲春の撫でる, Crimson Overture: Spring's Caress) Despite being a mouthful, this is by far the deadliest technique Nanami has to offer; the very thing she uses to stain the rain in blood. So long as one remains in a 100 m radius of her and within' the rainfall, each and every raindrop that has not already made contact with her enemy, is an extension of her blade. Any movement she chooses to make using her actual body is reciprocated where she wills within' the range allotted. This ability is so deadly that entire armies have fallen to this technique and men and women alike that rely on speed or teleporation find their techniques useless; dead before they even understand what has happened.
