~Shikai Techniques~
When entering ShiKai, Tao's speed increases considerably.
Phantom Dance: By using his Reiryoku and Zanpukto skills together Tao unleashes this dance. He uses Shunpo to move about and slows down for a split second to unleash Reiryoku that makes it look like he is standing there. Using this allows him to create "Phantoms" of himself that makes it easier for him to confuse and attack his enemy.
Dragon Dance: Tao uses his Reiryoku to increase his damage dealt with his Zanpukto.
Dance of the Parasite: Ryu begins to absorb spiritual energy from the air around it, and as it absorbs the energy it will slowly begin to glow pink. This energy can be used in multiple ways including; unlocking more powerful dances, to cast Kidou, and it can also be saved to be used to fire a powerful arrow during Bankai.
Rain Dance: While using this dance, Tao causes it to rain. This rain will be turned to snow, sleet, or slush depending on the temperature. Tao can use the water to confuse his opponents by causing the rain and puddles to make reflections of himself all over the place.
Fire Dance: Ryu becomes engulfed in flames upon entering this dance, he can shoot the fire out to attack, but will have to use his own Reiryoku to replace the used fire. Tao's body heat also increases.
Wind Dance: The wind in the area increases, along with Tao's speed.
Earth Dance: Tao's skin hardens considerably, allowing him to take more damage.
~Bankai Techniques~
Shikyo Hitoame: Tao uses his Reiryoku, and spirit particles, to fire multiple arrows at his opponent.
Hisame Arashi: Tao fires a hail storm of small pink arrows, anything it touches will be momentarily stunned. The length of the stun depends on how much Reiryoku he puts into it, and the level of the spirit he is attacking.
Odori Takai: By seperating the bow, he increases his speed by ten fold for a short period of time. Allowing him to take out most people within his area. Killing them, or critically wounding them almost instantly.
