Kido Legend: Izumi is responsible for the creation of many kido that still exist to this day. Under the Hado list, which she is more focused in, this includes Byakurai, Shakkahō, Sōkatsui, and Sōren Sōkatsui. Under the Bakudo list, this includes Rikujōkōrō and Dankū. Byakurai is the one kido that Izumi has created a special method of using. With a mere snap of her fingers, she can fire a high powered Byakurai without problem. Many other kido she can say without incantation. Custom Kido Below:
Shin Yoru'Me (True Night Eye, 真夜眼)► Description: This kido temporarily alters the eyes to allow the shinigami to see perfectly in utter darkness, including darkness created by other spells or abilities. This kido lasts a minimum of 1 round, increasing with the skill of its user. Izumi can use this for 15 rounds, which can currently be considered its max because she's the only one who knows it.
► Incantation: Shine. Bent in the eyes of the beast. Blue ring, expand and become seen.
Kuro Yūgure Dokubō (Black Dusk Cell, 黒夕暮れ独房)► Description: This kido creates a cubed prison that forms around the caster and anyone within the spells area of effect. The minimum area of effect is a 60x60 cube, with the caster at the center. The spell gets larger the better the kido user. Izumi can create a 1000x1000ft, which can currently be considered its max because she's the only one who knows it. Those captured within this kido lose the ability to see and the sensing reiatsu becomes difficult, almost blurry.
► Incantation: In a prison darker than black, surround the beast and claim him as your own. Block all light and blind the man. Close the door and capture hope.
Senhari Kogeki (Thousand Needle Strike, 千針攻撃)► Description: Creating a large ball of reiryoku in the palm of ones hand, the caster can fire thousands of 6 inch long needles at a target from the sphere, like a machine gun. The needles can be aimed anywhere within sight. Izumi's usage of this kido can reach up to 1000ft away, currently the max of the kido because she is the only one who knows it.
► Incantation: No incantation.
►►► Sanjū Eishō (三重詠唱, Threefold Incantation): This is perhaps the best way to show Izumi's skill in Kidō. Sanjū Eishō is casting three Kidō at the same time using full incantations Kidō. The amount of self-control required means that this is simply impossible for most practitioners of the skill. However, Izumi has such a knack for Kidō that this actually is possible for her. All three Kidō must equal her Kidō skill when added together.
Zanjutsu: Izumi is an exceptional swordsman and had once been considered the top in the Gotei. Since then, her skill has not faded. She doesn't focus her creative juices into zanjutsu. She doesn't create new techniques like with kido. She's just extremely good at zanjutsu.
Hakuda: Izumi's skill with hand-to-hand combat is below-average in comparison to other Captain level shinigami. It is not her first choice in battle, but if she needs to, she can do enough to defend herself. She has not mastered many hakuda techniques, but she is aware of most of them and does use them with the skill of a casual practitioner.
Kaido: Healing kido is not something she's very good at. Her reiryoku is more destructive and so does not have the same capabilities for healing that others do. She can do some very minor healing, but it's usually emergency aid to make sure someone doesn't die so the professionals can get there. Anything beyond that is out of her league.
Zanpakuto Name: Senbonzakura (千本桜, literally "Thousand cherry blossoms")
Zanpakuto Release Phrase: Scatter
Zanpakuto Appearance:Shikai Appearance:Shikai Abilities: In its shikai, Senbonzakura's blade separates into a thousand tiny, slender fragments that fly away from the hilt, leaving only the handle in Izumi's hand. While the blades are normally too small to be seen, they reflect light in such a way that they resemble sakura petals. By swinging Senbonzakura's hilt, Izumi can control the blade fragments, allowing her to shred opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense. These tiny blades can be used for defensive purposes, as they can protect Izumi from an incoming attack by creating a barrier between her and it. To protect Izumi from these blades, they do not have the ability to cut anything, unless she desires, within two feet of her body.
Bankai Name:Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (千本桜景厳, Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms)
Bankai Appearance: See Below.
Bankai Abilities: Izumi's bankai is a much larger version of Senbonzakura's shikai. To activate it, she drops her sword straight down; the sword does not have to be completely intact for Izumi to activate it. The sword phases into the ground, as though it were a pool of water. Energy ripples expand out, turning the surrounding area dark, and within seconds, two rows of a thousand giant blades rise from the ground. Those swords scatter, and countless flying blades move to pierce the enemy. The exact number of blades is unknown, and Izumi can use them for both offense and defense. Izumi can manipulate these with her mind; however, she can make them go twice as fast if she uses her hands to guide their way.
► Senkei (殲景, Slaughterscape): The true form of Senbonzakura. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands, which form four rows. These rows float just above each other, and circle around Izumi and her opponent in a continuously moving, column-like array. It abandons defense in favor of a concentrated offense. Though visually menacing, this form is not meant for attack from all sides; rather, it concentrates her Bankai into fewer blades, thus increasing her attack power. While Izumi can mentally control these swords, she commonly calls them to her hands for melee combat. When in her hand, they lose their glow, and take the form of his sealed Zanpakutō.
It takes fewer blows from a Senkei blade to gravely injure an opponent than the multiple cuts needed from the unfocused Bankai. Senkei blades ignore 10 points of the opponents durability. Senkei seals Izumi in with her enemy, allowing neither combatant to move very far from each other, though the area is still large enough for maneuverability. The deadliest aspect of the Senkei form is that it allows for use of all the swords at the same attack level, making it a way to effectively defeat an enemy unaware of the danger of the situation.
►►► Ikka Senjinka (一咬 千刃花, One Bite, Thousand Bladed Flower): Izumi attacks a single target with all of her Senkei swords at once. Fitting to Senkei focusing solely on offense, it is Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's ultimate attack.
► Gōkei (吭景, Mawscape; Viz "Throat Scene"): This technique sends Senbonzakura's blades swirling around the opponent in a spherical formation. The blade petals fly into the target from every possible angle, leaving no blind spots and no possibility of escape, before collapsing in on themselves, destroying the opponent. It is strong enough to completely obliterate a very large building from the inside out, and the resulting shockwave generated by the attack is powerful enough to force Izumi to move away with Shunpo.
► Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣, Endscape: White Imperial Sword): This condenses each and every one of his blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting power. The spiritual energy and pressure released by this form is immense. The blade appears bright white, and its aura takes the form of a bird. Pure white wings form on Izumi's back, as well as a halo-like circle, made of concentrated spiritual energy. This form's blade can create aggravated injuries in a single blow. The wings can be used for flight.
Inner Hollow Appearance:Inner Hollow Personality: Calmer than you'd expect, manipulative as hell, and easy to anger.
Hollow Mask Appearance:Hollow Abilities:Cero: Red.
Skill Bonuses: +10 to all natural skills.
Duration: 10 minutes.
Character SynopsisIzumi Fujioka was a woman so good at her job that her vanishing left a rift in the Gotei for some time. Not only had she been there for a long time, but she had known, trained, saved, and guided many to the places they are now. There was a time that being trained by Izumi was considered an honor because she never took on apprentices. However, when Izumi gave into the wanderlust, she abandoned her post and hasn't returned since. She has traveled from the Soul Society, to Hueco Mundo, to the World of the living, and back again since her departure. Of course, she returns to the Soul Society under fake names. She is currently known as Naohana Katano to anyone in to the Toryōseiku. She is also a high ranking member of the Mikazuki, after having been drawn into the organization by Tsubine, someone she looks at like her own child. This includes his twin sister, Eira, who she hasn't seen in ages.
