Santōryū (三刀流, three sword style)
Hei's new fighting style revolves around an unusual sword style that uses three swords instead of a single sword. He can use three swords, two swords, and one sword style techniques. When he uses three swords, the third one is placed in his mouth.

• Santōryū: Genbu no Kara (三刀流「玄武 の 殻」, way of three swords「shell of the black turtle」)
  Hei steels himself, placing his hand swords over his mouth blade and focuses his Reiryoku to create a shield of hardened black Reiryoku to block larger attacks by using the katana as a medium. A black tortoise with a snake for a tail can be seen briefly, using this shield as its belly and the back of its shell is used to block the attacks.
  
  
• Santōryū: Byakko no Tsume (三刀流「白虎 の 爪」, way of three swords「claws of the white tiger」)
  This technique requires no prior stance before execution. By combining his speed with his mastery of Kendo, Hei will step forward and suddenly appear behind an opponent as though he had traveled through them. As he moves, a white tiger takes form using his movements as a medium and appears to slash the foe across the chest with his claws to deal damage. However, this is not the case as it is only an image created by Reiryoku, and the actual damage, three slashes across the chest or back, is created by Hei several seconds prior to the tiger attacking. The move is so rapid, that it appears that Hei has teleported from his starting point to his destination point and the wounds don't manifest until after the tiger has attacked, even though it doesn't actually do the damage. Byakko no Tsume is powerful enough to split a large boulder in half, and reduce it to rubble in the same second.
  
  
• Santōryū: Seiryū no Kiba (三刀流「青龍 の 牙」, way of three swords「fang of the azure dragon」)
  Hei begins with a stance in which he turns his head away from the opponent in either direction, keeping his other swords parallel so that the tips are pointing to his right or left side, but slightly towards his back. Hei then slashes towards his front while turning his neck, resulting in a large, azure projectile that is in the form of a serpentine dragon and possibly made of Reiryoku. The projectile homes into the target, then latches onto the foe's arms and sinks his fangs into the opponent's neck and shoulder. The resulting damage is a sliced neck and two gashes on the arm, and just like Byakko no Tsume, it is not dealt by the image of the dragon. Instead it is actually caused by projectiles created form the force of the swing. The direction that the swords are pointed determines which side of the neck and which arm are cut. If pointed to Hei's right, the left shoulder is bitten, and if held to the left, the foe's right shoulder is bitten.
  
  
• Santōryū: Suzaku no Tsubasa (三刀流「朱雀 の 翼」, way of three swords「wings of the vermilion bird」)
  Hei rapidly spins with his swords to create a rising burst of wind that is tinged with his red reiryoku and resembles a phoenix rising from the ground to slash and blow away the target(s).
  
  
• Santōryū Ōgi: Huang Long no Shinzui (三刀流 奥義「黃龍 の 神髄」, way of three swords「quintessence of the yellow dragon」)
  Hei holds two of his swords at an angle against each other and rotates them rapidly while running towards his opponent to create momentum; he then slices up the foe with full speed and power. During the entirety of this technique, a colossal dragon takes form, using Hei as its medium to stay connected to the real world for as long as the technique is being initiated and used. It is said that its form and appearance is plenty to unnerve the opponent. According to the name of this attack, this is the ultimate and strongest technique of the Santō Kendō.

Bankai's fine. Plus, here's some new abilities.

Ability Modification:

• Kage Ketsugo
  In Bankai, each blade of Tenma can produce one of the binding shadow tentacles that the Shikai makes. Four of them are significantly weaker than the middle one, which is slightly stronger than in Shikai.
  
• Night Effect
  Upon obtaining Bankai, Tenma lifts the restriction of its powers in Shikai when it is daytime. However, Tadashi will find himself grow more tired using the full powers in daytime, whch was part of the reason why the restriction was placed in the first place. Also, a Bankai at night or whenever the moon is out greatly boosts Tenma's power, adding one post to each abilities effect and strenghtening Ketsueki Sakushi's potency. More significantly, an even greater speed boost is given. A Bankai in daytime, however, will greatly tire out Tadashi both because he is new to Bankai and because the daytime restriction on powers is lifted (though he can replace the restriction if he wants).
  
• Ketsueki Sakushi
  No changes, but just to clarify something - it doesn't matter how the blood gets on the blades.

Ability Addition:

• Shikai:
  
  • Buki Suitchi (武器スイッチ, Weapon Switch)
    Only available for use when Tadashi has Bankai attained already, he can replace Tenma's claw form with the crossbow form that comes with the Bankai. However, Kido will not be amplified as highly as it is in Bankai by utilizing the crossbow. Alternatively, Tadashi can also switch either weapon to the opposite hand. For example, if Tadashi has the claw out on his right hand, he can switch the claw to the left.
  
  
• Bankai:
  
  • Shadōburēdo Kakuchō (シャドーブレード拡張, Shadow Blade Extension)
    Tenma's claw blades are extended by shadow-like blades to further their range. The 2nd and 4th blades grow longer still (as they are already long when Bankai is used). The other three blades are about the size of regular swords. Not only is range increased - at night, the blades themselves are difficult to see. Even in day, dark places offer opportune times to use this technique to surprise the opponent. The drawback is that the claw becomes slightly heavier, and Ketsueki Sakushi can not be initiated if blood is only present on the shadow extension itself.
    
    
  • Buki Jokyo (武器除去, Weapon Removal)
    Tadashi can remove the crossbow for whatever reason he sees fit. However, the claw cannot be removed.
    
    
  • Sunaipāai (スナイパーアイ, Sniper Eye)
    Tadashi can form a lens over either of his eyes that magnifies or demagnifies his view according to his will. The move is useful when using the crossbow, and it can be taken on or off at any time (hands-free, of course). However, it doesn't come with night vision, so he'll have to rely on his senses to find the target if its dark.

Note: Think, 'scouter' from DBZ. No, I don't like that anime, but its a sufficient sample to demonstrate what i'm talking about. I can take or leave this one, I just thought it would be nice to add something for the crossbow.



http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=19051487

Ability Type (kendo)

• Ability Name - Using his speed to his advantage Lee rapidly shunpos around his opponent sending countless slashes and stabs from all sides seemingly all at once. Yields the best results if used in conjunction with Himi.
  
• Ability Name - Used in conjunction with his Bankai while Himi is activated Lee does a shallow cut with the kissaki of his blade then simply moves the blade across the skin extending the cut and the effect of Himi to a larger area.
  
• Ability Name - By using his saya in conjunction with his blade he confuses his opponent by moving both at speeds too fast to see properly then proceeds to switch hands mid swing.
  
• Ability Name - Using his left hand to send out a slash that is intentionally missed to catch the opponent off guard Lee then switches hands sending a stab to the opponents exposed back or side. His saya is then weilded in his right hand for blocking purposes.
  
• Ability Name - Rushing forward Lee sends out some type of slash that never connects because Lee uses either Utsusemi or Hidō before it can land so that it appears as if he finishes the swing. Then while the opponent is focused on the afterimage Lee is then able to take advantage and launch a slash or stab at the opponent's back or side. Again Lee wields his saya for blocking purposes though he also uses it for attacking. Yields better results when used in conjunction with Hidō so that the opponent is also assaulted by the shards of ice.
  

Ability Type (hakuda)

• Ability Name - By channeling his own ice aligned reiryoku into one of his hand he can encase it in a thin but strong layer of ice used to up the damage potential of one of his strikes. The strike would carry the same effect as Himi if any shards made from breaking the ice made it into the skin.
  
• Ability Name - By utilizing his hardened hierro like reiatsu shield around his body and speed Lee shunpos at maximum speed directly at the opponent sending an unarmed attack or two at them backed by the momentum gained and hardened reiatsu.
  
• Ability Name - As a way to deal with stronger opponents Lee lets them attack, Then by shifting his center of gravity to one foot he is able to twist and use an opponents momentum against them putting them off balance and using their own momentum to toss them or push them to the side. He can even use this to launch a counterattack to the opponent.
  
• Ability Name - Lee shunpos around his opponent a few times to confuse them then dashes forward with all his speed to send one elbow towards the back of the opponent's neck in an attempt to knock them out cold.
  
• Ability Name - Lee does a quick kick to the opponent's knee in an attempt to break it followed by an elbow to the gut to attempt to knock the air out of his opponent then then a double fist strike to the opponent's chest to finish the combo off and to send the opponent flying as well as damage them.
  

Guards - After requesting that his bracers be modified there was a thin and lightweight yet strong piece of metal placed inside between the fabric. The result is a durable version of his bracers that assists him in combat allowing him to block some metal objects completely. They also assist in making his strikes more effective if used in hakuda. The metal is also slightly flexible allowing some strikes blocked to simply slide off as they didn't get a solid connection. He also had them craft something similar for shin guards allowing his kicks to deal more damage while protecting them to a certain extent. They are made out of the same fabric and metal.

Scarf - His scarf was modified with little flakes of metal in it to conduct electricity and aid in use of such kido techniques. It is also made with a flame retardant material helping to resist fire attacks. By wrapping it around an enemy he is able to channel a Tsuzuri Raiden through the scarf and into an enemy. Alternately he is able to wrap it around the bottom of his blade and temporarily electrify it. It's increased conductivity can work against him if fighting an enemy who uses electrical attacks causing him to often times discard it or even use it to draw attacks. The metal flakes make the scarf slightly more durable than normal.

Flame Resistant Shinigami Uniform - Lee had his entire uniform made of Flame retardant material to help him resist fire attacks.

Special Equipment

• Ultrasonic Arrows - These steel arrows were constructed by the Junibantai and come equipped with a bow, a quiver and special steel ring. Once tapped against any of these accompanying items, an arrow would emit a ultrahigh frequency that ranges from 20,000 Hz and upwards, which is above the normal hearing range. The piercing capability of the arrow is influenced directly by the level of frequency, which increases doubly for each tap before being pulled against a target. The chosen level remains constant throughout the attack. Also, Eriko is able to call back any released arrow to herself. If it is detained in any manner, the arrow's frequency spikes by a 100 kHz and this pulsates uncomfortably throughout the being until it is not detained anymore from returning to Eriko. The callback signal is a high-pitched whistle which Eriko has taught herself. Upon return, the ability is deactivated by one more tap against any of the items and the arrow is stored in the quiver with the others.

Bankai Abilities
[Techniques derived from Tsubasa Sentou Ki (翼戦闘機, Winged Fighter)]

• Tsubasa Sentou Ki: Toruneedo Sutoraiku Ha Hidari (翼戦闘機「竜巻ストライク左」, Winged Fighter「Tornado Strike Left」)
  Type: Offensive/Activated/Mental or Verbal Callout
  The basic mechanics is that it is a straight punch. However, the energy transfer of force from the legs to the moving to the fist is converted to compressed winds in the form of multiple strong gales [41-47 knots, 46.1 - 51.8 mph] that envelope the left arm in a swirling motion. Upon the release of the actual punch, the gales merge into a miniature tornado, extend from the shoulder like a tight, hollow beam and decompress on impact with the opponent's body in order to cause more internal damage than external. It can be used at either long or short distances. The latter inflicts more damage due to the proximity.
  
  
• Tsubasa Sentou Ki: Toruneedosutoraikuraito (翼戦闘機「竜巻ストライク右」, Winged Fighter「Tornado Strike Right」)
  Type: Offensive/Activated/Mental or Verbal Callout
  The basic mechanics is that it is a straight punch. However, the energy transfer of force from the legs to the moving to the fist is converted to compressed winds in the form of multiple strong gales [41-47 knots, 46.1 - 51.8 mph] that envelope the right arm in a swirling motion. Upon the release of the actual punch, the gales merge into a miniature tornado, extend from the shoulder like a tight, hollow beam and decompress on impact with the opponent's body in order to cause more internal damage than external. It can be used at either long or short distances. The latter inflicts more damage due to the proximity.
  
  
• Tsubasa Sentou Ki: Rokeeshon Baundo (翼戦闘機「ロケーション バウンド」, Winged Fighter「Location Bound」)
  Type: Offensive/Defensive/Activated/Verbal Callout
  By writing the kanji for 'location' in either of her palms and calling out the name or title of the being in question, Eriko is able to locate him or her despite if the person is visible or has repressed his or her signature. She is not sure about the mechanics behind it but considers it a fault of movement in the air, sound or no sound. As for the binding part, she writes the kanji for 'bound' over the previous word and this causes the being in question to be captured in a whirlwind of breeze across the midsection, neck, arms and legs. The binding is effective for 2 of Eriko's posts and due to the two part nature of this ability, the location spell can done without preceding the binding part of it.
  
  
• Tsubasa Sentou Ki: Watashi No Gifuto (「私のギフト」, Winged Fighter「My Gift」)
  Type: Offensive/Activated/Verbal Callout
  Incantation: Tsugi no izure ka kara wareware ha tsu no karada toshite sora no ugoki ga teishi suru made odoru (次 の いずれ か から 、我々 は 1つ の 体 として 空 の 動き が 停止 する まで 踊る , From one to the next, we will dance in the skies as a single body until movement stops)
  The focus of Tsubasa Sentou Ki is that Eriko is able to control wind but this particular ability eradicates this subordination to the point that Eriko is consumed by the Wind fully. In order to perform it properly, she has to release her reiryoku in the form of a hurricane, say the name and chant the incantation. Once the last word is said, the transformation is complete: She is invisible and her reiatsu signature is non-existent as for the next few minutes, she does not exist. The hurricane disperses at this point and the opponent is caught up in a multitude of knee strikes and kicks that add up to 500 hits all around the body within 50 seconds.
  
  Unfortunately, that is not the end of it. Hurricane winds converge above the opponent to the point that they form a ball of compressed air that crashes and decompresses against the opponent, inflicting even more internal damage. After the collision, Eriko is able to separate herself from the Wind. However, this ability takes a lot out of her reiatsu and so, she would be very weak physically and mentally once whole again. Her reiatsu signature would be very faint but an extended period of rest should allow her to recover fully from performing it. Due to the immense cost effects of it, Tsubasa Sentou Ki: Watashi No Gifuto can only be done once during a battle if at all.

*All offensive types are meant to cause more internal damage than external to the point that only internal injuries are caused sometimes.

**They would also be more effective than normal strikes that have been combined with Wind for strength and whatnot.

Αναζοωγόνηση: δεύτερο βήμα (Resurrección: Segunda Etapa, Resurrection: Second Step)
While using Segunda Etapa, Zenos' form actually does shift in contrast to using his initial Resurrección. He grows younger in appearance, becoming about 16 years of age and being reduced to 4'10" in height. His nails lengthen and gain a metallic lustre while his canines grow as well. His hollow hole shifts slightly, increasing in size by about and inch, a symbol appear to stretch across his back and his eyes shift from red to golden colored. In this state, Zenos' Reiatsu becomes overwhelmingly powerful and it can be noted that it no longer feels like Reiatsu at all and is even hindering to those with a 7/10 in Reiatsu. While in this state, Zenos' abilities are augmented to the point that a single bala can be powerful even against a Captain. The aspect of this Segunda Etapa that sets it off from any other Arrancar form, is that it forces his vampiric tendencies to resurface, giving him that thirst for bloodlust which will often cause him to act differently than normal, violent and vengeful as opposed to quiet and lackadaisical.

• Απολιθωτικός κατακλυσμός (Diluvio Petreficado, Petrifying Deluge)
  Zenos breathes a gas from his mouth that is similar in appearance to Πνοή Πέτρας. The gas floats up, assimilates with any cloud in the sky, and creates a heavy rain that turns whatever it strikes to stone. For example, if a raindrop strikes a person's arm, it will turn the skin to stone in an area that is three inches in diameter. Needless to say, it is highly likely that anyone caught in this rain will experience multiple areas being turned to stone. Any part of a spiritual being's body that is struck by this gas turns to stone for 3 posts, after which the spell wears off. Once the petrification wears off, the area affected is subject to being quite uncomfortable, even painful to use for 2 posts, as everything in the body part is turned to stone, including blood, thus halting blood flow to that area.
  
  
• Μεταλλουργικός (Metalúrgico, Metalworking)
  This subclass of moves allows Zenos to manipulate metals to alter their structure to both change the element in question or reforge it.
  
  
  • Γάλλιο (Galio, Gallium)
    This technique produces substantial quantities of Gallium, the atomic Element with a number of 31, the symbol Ga, a melting point of 85.5763 °F, and a boiling point of 3999 °F. While Gallium is a substantially weak metal, it serves Zenos two purposes. The first is that it can be used as a semi conductor, thus when produced in a large quantities and released away from his body, he can cause electrical-based attacks to be conducted to a hunk of this metal rather than himself. The second purpose that it serves is the creation of mirrors that can be used to fool the opponent with their own reflection or also reflect light-based attacks. For the latter, Zenos will melt the metal with his own body temperature, then apply it to rockquartz that can be created by his sand, thus forming a mirror.
    
    
  • Σχοινί καλωδίων (Cuerda de Alambre, Wire Rope)
    This technique creates steel wire rope, a type of rope which consists of several strands of metal wire laid (or 'twisted') into a helix. Many lengths of this can be produced and it is ideal for wrapping opponents up or using it like a net to hold off large scale attacks. This is substantially more powerful than the sand tendrils he uses to bind people, thus making it more appropriate to use when he is fighting seriously.

Shikai Modification

• Shikai: It is triggered by the command Kirikizu (切り傷, cut). Upon release, Kazeoni's katana form vanishes in a strong burst of winds, and a large, four-point shuriken with three-foot blades materializes in it's place. The shuriken itself is made of tempered steel and can cut with the slightest of touches.
  
• Shikai Special Ability: Kazeoni's Shikai deals primarily with offensive maneuvers that utilizes both the speed and cutting power of the Shikai shuriken.
  
• Hane (羽, wing)
  This technique allows Kazeoni to vanish on the spot and reappear in Hibiki's hand through a rudimentary form of teleportation, in that it will still move from its place towards Hibiki, but will do so at great speeds. If used correctly, Kazeoni can be thrown, then teleported across the battlefield and turned thus allowing for it's trajectory to be changed and giving way to surprise attacks.

Bankai Modification

• Bankai: Tenrai Kazeoni - (天来 風 鬼, heavenly wind demon) - Upon release, the shuriken will expand itself and shine brightly, creating a twelve-foot "X" shaped cross that can still possesses the same cutting ability as its Shikai. It will then begin to turn in a windmill-like fashion, accelerating with each cycle until it is a complete blur. At this point, the winds it will generate start to strengthen until two bright, massive wings emerge from the center and begin to spin around perpendicular to the cross. This will create a tornado which will complete the activation of Tenrai Kazeoni's Bankai release.
  
• Bankai Special Ability: Tenrai Kazeoni's Bankai deals with using wind for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. It has a handful of modes which it switches in between one another to adapt from one situation to another. Though each of them is different to another, the main similarity is that all of them utilizes a Bankai object as a medium for wind.
  
• Tori (鳥, bird)
  Can be activated at any mode. An advanced version of Hane in that the object being recalled now moves at a rate faster than Shunpo, making it appear that it had teleported. No longer is the recall limited to the weapon as Hibiki can "call" the weapon to himself and the weapon can "call" Hibiki to it, and the different blades can call one another to themselves as well.
  
• Tengu (天狗, heavenly dogs)
  This form of Tenrai Kazeoni is one to six chakram whose blades grow brightly. Hibiki's attack style is reminiscent to that of Shikai, except here in Tengu mode, he wields any or all of the six chakram. The blades are twice as strong as the Kazeoni's shuriken form and the blades are now visible. Additionally, he can merge the chakram blades to strengthen their attack force, and he can also control them while they are in mid-flight.

Special Weapon/Equipment

Mōkinrui (猛禽類 “birds of prey”) - A pair of heavily customized gauntlets designed by Hibiki himself. Though the mechanisms are a bit crude, the construct itself is an effective weapon. It has several modes for one to choose from when wielding it, and each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, because of the rather simple locks and latches designed for the modes, mode switching to one mode automatically cancels out the current mode, forcing it to go back into the gauntlets.

• Tatamu (畳む “to fold”) - Refers to the first set of modes.
  
  • Nosuri (ノスリ “buzzard”)- The default mode of Mōkin-rui, a standard gauntlet, though it seems to be covered in relatively thick yet detachable bands of steel. It can deliver powerful smashes and can block rather effectively given its substantially additional armor.
    
  • Washi (和紙 “eagle”) - This mode can be accessed by removing the bands of steel covering the gauntlets. This lightens it allowing for faster strikes, but more importantly it displays the array of weapons that were concealed.
    Even though the steel bands were removed, the gauntlet itself still has considerable metal on itself, thus it is capable of dealing damage via punches, smashes and other such attacks.
    
  • Fukurō (フクロウ “owl”) - This mode can be accessed by pushing down upon the knuckles of the gauntlets, causing several short spikes to appear on the outside of the gauntlet’s fingers. The spikes are curved outwards towards the fingers and are thus ideal for quickly inflicting grazing and painful wounds.
    
  • Hagewashi (ハゲワシ “vulture”) - This mode can be accessed by pushing down upon the fingers of the gauntlets, causing a talon-like nail to protrude from the tip of each of the gauntlet’s fingers. The talons are sharp at the tips, and are serrated at their backs, thus making them ideal for ripping and shredding flesh or any other objects the steel can cut through.
  
  
  
• Hirogaru (広がる “spread”) - Refers to the second set of modes.
  
  • Hayabusa (ハヤブサ “falcon”) - This mode can be accessed by pushing down upon the wrists of the gauntlets, causing two triangular steel sheets to appear on both gauntlets. The sheets will cover the palms and the backhands of the gauntlets, creating an impromptu yet effective katar-like weapon.
    
  • Hariyā (ハリヤ “harrier”) - This mode can be accessed by flipping the upside-down claw-like weapon found at the gauntlets’ forearms, causing the weapon to spring and lock into place at the backhands of the gauntlets. There are three claws per gauntlet, with each one measuring up to a foot in length.
    
  • Tako (凧 “kite”) - This mode can be accessed by flipping the lowered thin knife-like weapons found on the outward side of each of the gauntlets, left side for the right and right side for the left, this will cause the weapon to spring and lock into place, still on the same location but now perpendicular to its base. This gives the gauntlets a wing-like accessory measuring up to a foot in length.
    
  • Misago (ミサゴ “osprey”) - This mode can be accessed by removing the shot band of steel found underneath the palms of the gauntlets, revealing a row of five small hook tips peeking out from each of the hidden compartments. Each of the small hooks is attached to a length of reasonably thin bungee cord, that is looped around the inner compartment of the gauntlets, between the base steel of the weapons and the final layer of steel above the skin.
    
  • Taka (鷹 “hawk”) - This mode can be accessed by a quick flick of the wrist, causing two steel arrow-like shafts to shoot out from the outer two of three compartments, positioned underneath each of the gauntlets. Ammunition for this is stored elsewhere other than the gauntlets themselves. Another way to access this mode is to push down on the middle compartment, causing a single steel shaft to shoot out, while attached to a length of reasonably thin bungee cord stored in another compartment, thus allowing it to be retrieved and shot back again.
  
  
  
• Hone Hane (骨 羽 “bone feather”) - The last mode, accessed when a string tied to the thumb is pulled, usually when the worn gauntlet is abruptly removed. This will trigger a powerful explosion, destroying the respective gauntlet and sending the steel blades and fragments flying at great speeds, effectively turning them into deadly shrapnel.
