Personality: If a person were to look into a dictionary and look up strict, they would find a picture of Old man Yata right next to the definition. He is a very unforgiving fellow, quick to judge, even quicker to punish. Even late into his age, this facet of his personality has not waned in the slightest.

~Zanpakuto Information ~
Zanpakuto Name: Koushaku no Metaru Enkai
Zanpakuto Type: (Nodachi, Katana, etc)
Zanpakuto Sealed Appearance: Yata's unreleased Zanpakuto takes the form of a foot-and-a-half long wakizashi with a steel-colored sheathe and a stained brown-gray handle. The cross-guard and pommel both appear to be made of rusted iron, worn and broken from misuse and an uncaring master. This couldn't be further from the truth. The condition of the blade is set in stone, despite the constant care Yata pays to it. The somewhat jagged, rectangular cross-guard has always been cracked and somewhat askew.
Spirit Appearance: Koushaku no Metaru Enkai takes the form of a three-headed dragon with a massive wingspan. The left head mimics the top plane - regal and ornately designed from silver metal. The middle head is like the former, only smooth and faceless. The right head is vicious looking and rusted beyond recognition.
Spirit Personality: These three traits flow throughout the dragon's enormous body. The Prince of the Metal Ocean has a personality for each head. The ornate one preaches wisdom, duty, and honor above all else. The faceless, eerily metallic head spouts endlessly about neutrality. As one might expect, the rusted head is far more chaotic that the others, and endlessly attempts to corrupt Yata into committing acts of selfishness and hatred - it always fails. This three headed dragon can most often be found flying somewhere between the three layers. It treats intruders differently depending on which head they make eye contact with first.
Spirit Relationship:
Spirit Inner World: Yata's inner world is composed of three infinite layers stacked on top of one another. The upper layer appears to be made of a thick sheet of flawless silver-hued metal, with hundreds upon thousands of perfectly sculpted geometric statues dotting the horizon. The middle layer looks almost identical like the previous one, only there are no statues in sight - the plane is entirely void of obstruction or inconsistency. The bottom layer is an endless field of rust, decay, and twisted versions of the geometric statues found on the top layer. In what would best be described as the "center" of all three planes is a hundred foot wide hole. This is a portal to the next plane, and those who don't watch their step may find themselves falling between the three realms until they somehow leave Yata's inner world.
Shikai Appearance:
Shikai Release Command: "Judge by steel, Koushaku no Metaru Enkai,"
Shikai Release Appearance: To unleash his Shikai, Yata raises his Zanpakuto to his mouth, holding it horizontally in front of his teeth. He quickly chants, "Judge by steel, Koushaku no Metaru Enkai," then bites the center of the blade. With a violent and quick twist of his head, the unreleased Zanpakuto shatters into a thick brown dust. Within seconds this airborne material coalesces into a large naginata made entirely of rusted metal. Dozens of broken charms hang from the base of the worn, jagged blade. On the back of the blade, where ornate rings often rest on such weapons, only three of five remain, leaving empty holes where the others should be.
Shikai Ability: Togiretogire Kansen (Broken, Corrupted Infection): The main ability of Koushaku no Metaru Enkai is related to its worn, rusted condition. Any enemy who is cut by the blade or pierced by the jagged base of the weapon is infected with a creeping disease. This infection mimics the way rust takes over a worn piece of metal, only it acts at an extremely rapid pace, devouring an enemy in mere minutes. Those who cannot defeat Yata or make him release his Zanpakuto are consumed and killed; turned into statues of twisted rust that quickly dissipate in the wind. Yata himself cannot contract this disease, although he is always careful when handling the jagged form of his naginata. This ability has no special effect on Zanpakuto, but other metal objects can be destroyed in the same manner as flesh. This power is at the behest of the spiritual pressure difference between Yata and his opponent(s). Enemies stronger than him might be completely immune to this technique because of the vast stores of spiritual energy they have within them. In contrast, weaker enemies are far more likely to die quickly once they have been infected.
Shikai Attacks: Hisan Tsume no Mannaka Doragon (Flying Claw of the Middle Dragon): By slashing horizontally with his naginata, Yata can release a claw-like cloud of rust and metal that speeds towards his opponent and perforates them with thousands of the razor-sharp projectiles. This attack is far less accurate than close range strikes - it can't change direction once it is released and it can be outpaced by skilled Shunpo. Those who are cut by the cloud, which contains thousands of tiny shards of metal, might fall victim to the Togiretogire Kansen. Yata rarely uses this ability against single opponents, as it is much more fitting to use against large crowds of weaker enemies. He does, however, utilize it against unapproachable foes. When such battle occur, Yata tends to use his incredible speed and agility to keep away from his enemy while creating a continuous fire of shrapnel. Of course, he cannot keep it up for too long without seriously draining his Reiryoku, so each attack is done deliberately.
Hateshinai Enkai (Endless Ocean): Yata's Zanpakuto is uniquely powerful when he finds himself fighting a user of water-based techniques. When his blade successfully comes into contact with such an ability, whether through blocking it or piercing it, the rust of the blade corrupts the water, filling it with a brown, floating dust. Through this technique, Koushaku no Metaru Enkai gains temporary control of the body of water. Yata can redirect or simply disperse the infected liquid, although any and all special abilities that the body of water had before the corruption are rendered inert. This ability cannot infect ice due to its extremely stable structure. It can infect mist, steam, and rain so long as the water is created using spiritual energy.
Bankai Appearance: Shinsei Kokuou no Metaru Enkai (Divine King of the Metal Ocean). To call upon his Bankai, Yata stabs his naginata into the ground. If there is no ground below him, such as when he is caught in aerial combat, the blade somehow stops on the same level as his feet. He then shouts, "May your three mouths judge our actions - your metal breath doom our world to rust. Shinsei Kokuou no Metaru Enkai." Yata then flicks the three rings on the back of his blade, causing the weapon to vibrate. A hurricane of metal and rust rushes outwards from the worn naginata, surrounding Yata in an impenetrable, oxidized windstorm. When the debris falls away, Yata stands in a horribly rusted suit of samurai armor. Rusty brown iron, worn silver, and black cloth make up the design of the suit, but the most noticeable features are the two dragon shoulder pieces. The one on his left side is ornate, silver, and well designed, unlike the rest of the suit. The one on the right is horribly rusted, demonic-looking, and worn. In both of his hands are separate naginatas that mimic his Shikai form. After the transformation is complete, Yata quietly exclaims, "Bankai."
Bankai Release Appearance:
Bankai Release Command: "May your three mouths judge our actions - your metal breath doom our world to rust. Shinsei Kokuou no Metaru Enkai."
Bankai Release Appearance:
Bankai Ability: Yoroi no Kousou Doragon (Armor of the Upper Dragon): The samurai armor of Yaa's tBankai form is covered in dangerous edges and rusty pieces. Anyone who attempts an unguarded melee attack against him risks cutting themselves on one of these many hazards. Upon successful penetration the same diseased rust of his Shikai form, Togiretogire Kansen, infects the opponent. Despite Yata being in a vastly stronger form, this infection does not spread at an accelerated rate. The main improvements are the various methods of delivery. The result is the same; a rusted, lifeless statue where flesh once was. The Bankai also retains the other three abilities of the Shikai form; Hisan Tsume no Mannaka Doragon and Hateshinai Enkai.
Bankai Attacks:
Kokyuu no Nijuuzoko Doragon (Breath of the Lower Dragon): By concentrating a large portion of his Reiryoku into his throat, Yata can exhale an enormous wave of infected rust and sharp metal. This wave mimics the legendary breath of a dragon. Any objects, enemies, or even allies who are caught within this breath attack risk being completely decimated by the volley of piercing metal. Should an enemy only partially dodge this attack, any wounds acquired by the technique are infected with the Togiretogire Kansen. This is the most powerful and fearsome ability Yata has at his disposal. It takes exactly one-third of his Reiryoku stores to successfully launch it. Each time he does, two of the six rings on the back of his naginatas dissipate. Should all six vanish, Yata's Zanpakuto returns to a sealed state and he loses consciousness from over-exertion.
