[hider][IMG]http://i43.tinypic.com/35d21vo.jpg[/IMG][/hider] [B][U]Shikai:[/U][/B] While the form of his blades changes none in his transition into shikai, there is indeed a command to be spoken. Quickly, Ankou will speak out, [COLOR=#4B0082][B]"Clashing resonance. Congregation; Recompose and obliterate,..."[/B][/COLOR] as the first two words are stated, his blades seem to vibrate --sheathed or not. As the third word is spoken, the blades glow brightly and reiryoku begins to flow from them, condensing behind Ankou's body. Then, finally as the final words are spoken, the fourth form of his zanpakuto materializes and he calls out its name, [COLOR=#4B0082][B]"...Sanran rei-ben(散乱霊弁 [I]'Scattered soul petals'[/I])!"[/B][/COLOR] Following this there is a flash of purple light from behind him, thus finalizing his shikai, though not changing his blades, and revealing a floating ouroborous with three snake skeletons intertwined to make it up. This flouting ring follows directly behind Ankou for the duration of his shikai, and while technically composed of reishi, the ring is impossible to make contact with, appearing to oscillate at such a speed that everything simply fazes right through, thus making it intangible. [B][I]Abilities:[/I][/B] The abilities of Sanran rei-ben are not very extensive, but are indeed very effective in nature. Essentially, they steal reiryoku by way of blade-to-blade, blade-to-body, or body-to-body contact. In fact, technically, the sole ability of Ankou's shikai is the robbery of reiryoku by way of his blades and his body, respectively. However, this ability is the build up for its more...offensive aspects, particularly the 'soul shards' as in shikai, Ankou's zanpakuto may look essentially the same, but they are chipped and appear to be missing parts of their form(s). The abilities of Ankou's zanpakuto do not tax him very much, however, he does lose stamina from battle, and from releasing either Shōtotsu o sai kōsei or Kyōshin - tsumibukai kahen respectively. Last of all, Ankou is capable of 'calling' his zanpakuto to him whether released or not. This 'calling' will pull any, or all, of his blades back towards him, typically blade first, at high speeds --this pseudo telekinesis can also be utilized to, while his blades remain within a yard of his body, levitate the zanpakuto. [B][U]Techniques[/U][/B] [hider][I][U]Kaishū(会衆 'Congregation'):[/U][/I] This technique is passive and is activated the moment his zanpakuto releases into shikai. Essentially, this technique is what steals reiryoku. This process is done by invading whatever makes contact with the blade, or Ankou's body, by way of his own reiryoku, which then pulls some of the object/individual's reiryoku into Ankou/his zanpakuto. However, this reiryoku is not utilized to sustain Ankou's body, instead, it is pulled into the ouroborous ring and circulated within. The eyes of each snake skull on the ring are typically dark and do not glow, but once Ankou has blocked, clashed, or struck his opponent 5 times, one of the skull's eyes will begin to glow a dark purple hue. For each 5-10 strikes, one pair of eyes will be lit, with the total being 3 pairs. When a skull's eyes have lit, the skull will generate reiryoku, which will fill in the 'broken' portions of 1 of Ankou's 3 zanpakuto blades. This process continues on until all 3 blades are empowered. When a blade is empowered, it gains up to 3 uses of Kyōshin - tsumibukai kahen. Each single skull is worth 1 Shōtotsu o sai kōsei, but it should be noted that they can continually be refilled by the aforementioned process. Additionally, if an attack of equivalent power to 5-10 strikes is taken, Ankou instantly gains a skull --an example of such would be a weak cero, or strong bala. [I][U]Shōtotsu o sai kōsei(衝突を再構成 'Recomposing clash'):[/U][/I] When Ankou has activated 1 or more skulls utilizing Kaishū, this technique can then be utilized. By sacrificing some of his own reiryoku and the reiryoku used to charge a skull, Ankou can actually release one of the serpents from the ouroborous. This release is temporary, but while released the serpent can 'fly/slither' through the air at his mental command. Once Ankou snaps, or says the name of the technique, the snake will release all the reiryoku contained within, causing an explosion of tiny purple blade shards. These shards can cut both reiryoku and reishi respectively. The strength of this explosion has been compared to that of an average cero. It should be noted that the serpents move about as fast as Ankou can, though they cannot shunpo. [I][U]Kyōshin - tsumibukai kahen(共振 - 罪深い花片 'Resonation - Sinful petals'):[/U][/I] Utilizing Kaishū, Ankou can release up to 3 of these per charged skull. This technique is rather simple and it allows Ankou to slash, or stab, to release the 'shards' or 'petals' that are completing the empowered blade in question. These shards, before coming into contact with a reishi body that contains reiryoku, are oscillating at the same frequency as the ring at his back. This means one thing, upon being released from his zanpakuto, the shards are essentially incorporeal, or ghost-like, in nature. This allows them to faze right through any reishi-based defenses. Blocking with a weapon, or zanpakuto is effectively impossible, as the shards will pass right through and then strike/pierce the target.[/hider] [B][U][I]Bankai:[/I][/U][/B] Not yet achieved.[/hider]
