SHIKAI: Ashisogi Jizou has one of the freakiest Shikai forms. The blade's hilt is normal, but that's about it. In place of the crossguard are the randomly jutting spikes, but they're longer and have gained trailing cloths. Above the crossguard is the weirdest part: a huge, round, bronze face that looks like a bald, bulging-eyed cross between your typical Area 51 alien and a baby. The thing is at least as big as Kurotsuchi-taicho's own head. The blade itself splits into three wavy prongs that come out at angles from the top and sides of the baby/alien's head, like some crazy set of horns, with the middle prong being the longest. As an ability, Ashisogi Jizou paralyzes the motor nerves of whatever living thing it hits. It doesn't matter what part of the body is struck, the paralysis moves through the body like a poison until the victim is completely immobile. Sadistically, the same poison also amplifies things for the victim's pain receptors, so even the slightest cut hurts like all hell. Captain Kurotsuchi brings about the bizzare change to Shikai with the phrase "kakimushire" (pluck and scratch) BANKAI: KONJIKI ASHISOGI JIZOU (GOLDEN LEGSHREDDER PRIEST) In Bankai, the weird face on Ashisogi's Shikai gets a gargantuan body... of a sort. The head now looks way more alien-like than it does baby-ish, and it has a huge golden hoop with dangling bells circling it like an oversized halo. The body itself is shrouded in a ragged, grayish cloak that makes it look like a floating ghost. Underneath the cloak is a fat, pasty-pale caterpillar-like torso. Mist constantly streams from the corners of its little, pursed mouth. The most dangerous part of the Bankai, that mist is a specialized poison Konjiki Ashisogi Jizou makes from Captain Kurotsuchi's blood. One good lungful of the stuff is lethal to any living thing within almost two hundred yards of him. Captain Kurotsuchi himself is unaffected, of course. If that doesn't get you, it can sprout a forest of swordblades from it's "neck" area and rumble right over you. SHIKAI: Captain Komamura cheats a bit when he first uses Tengen's Shikai. He doesn't use any incantation, so for the longest time it seemed like he'd used a plain ability. Anyway, Tengen is in a class with Suzumushi and Shinsou; it's Shikai is more a motion than a form. Actually, it's sort of a combination of both. At Captain Komamura's will, a ginormous version of his own hand and Tengen sweep down on opponents from whatever direction he chooses. BANKAI: KOKUJOU TENGEN MYOU-OH (Black Rope Heaven's Rebuke - King of Light) Kokujou Tengen Myou-oh gives Shikai Tengen a body to go along with the hand, and gets a whole lot bigger to boot. An unbelieveably huge warrior dressed in ancient armor and a horned helmet, Kokujou Tengen looks to mimic Captain Komamura's movements. That's just a guess however, we don't get to see what it really does. ;.;
