“	Battle is not a stage for empty heroics and nor is it something to take pleasure in. Battle is filled with despair. Dark, terrifying. That is the way that it should be. That way, people learn to fear battle and to choose the path of non-violence where possible.	„
	~ Kira to Abirama Redder

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Shunpo: A Shinigami movement technique which allows the user to move than the eye can follow. As speed is the main factor of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.

Zanpakutō

Wabisuke's Special Ability

Wabisuke: Izuru's Zanpakutou allows him to double the weight of anything it cuts. The weight of the target doubles with each cut Wabisuke lands.

Kidō

Kidō: Spells casted by Shinigami with strong enough Reiryoku and Reiryoku control. Kidō is divided into mainly three categories: Hadō for attacks, Bakudō for battle support and Kaidō for healing. The spells are ranking from 1-99 with 1 being the weaker and easier spells to cast and 99 being the most powerful and difficult to cast. Skilled users can cast Kidō without the need of an incantation; however, casting without incantation does reduce the Kidō's effectiveness less than a third of it's full potential.

• Kaidō: Kidō spells that focus on healing. The Reiatsu of the target is usually restored before healing the physical body as the enables the practitioner to heal the target faster using the target's own Reiatsu and the practitioner's Reiatsu to expediate the process.

• Hadō #31: Shakkahō: The caster generates a high temperature fire ball in their hand that they can fire towards a target. It can be even used as a source of light in the dark.

• Bakudō #37: Tsuriboshi: A ball is formed that launches six ropes from itself to nearby surfaces. The ball transforms into an elastic cushion that is meant to catch falling objects while the ropes hold it in place.
• Bakudō #39: Enkōsen: The caster generates a large spinning disk of Reiatsu that is meant to be used as a barrier to protect the caster.

• Hadō #58: Tenran: Levitating their blade in the air, the caster spins it in place and fire a tornado of air towards the target upon stopping the spinning blade.

• Bakudō #73: Tozanshō: An inverted pyramid is formed around the caster upon activation that hardens into a barrier.
