When in Bankai, Urami's spiritual energy is actually morphed into fire, giving him more fire to manipulate.
 * Heat Barrier: Urami whilst in bankai, can create a barrier around him in a small 3 meter radius that is incrediblly hot, a small heat barrier has formed around him, making weaker kido water spells evaporate before actually hitting him.

Make a blissful entrance and a powerful exit. Show us your power, bear the claws of justice."
 * Raimei (雷鳴, "Thunderclap") Urami explained this to be his own version of the Hado skill Okasen, By placing the yellow energy within his hands, Urami can slam his hands together creating a large lightning like shockwave.

Urami uses shunpo in conjunction with his unique Hakuda and Zanjutsu, often attacking, vanishing then reappearing somewhere else attacking and so on. Urami often likes to appear about the opponent then slashing downwards at their chest. Enhanced Durabilty: Being able to take a hit is what Urami is good at. Whilst learning the higher Kido spells, they would often result in an explosing in Urami's face. This happened multiple times but eventually he grew acustomed to it and gained resilences towards it. Urami's cloak he has puts much strain on his body when first he began to wear it, but over the time he has adjusted to it. Shirokaze being raised by nobles are expected to be resilient to everything, and when he played up as a child, often got a beating, that was designed to make each hit feel like nothing, so he can keep practising to become the best. Urami in early stages of Bankai training draining him of both physical energy and spiritual energy but as time went on Urami was slowly able to increase his physical durability and be able to actually train for an entire week straight.
 * Utsusemi ( 空蝉, Cicada, referencing their molting) Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihō. This is self taught by Urami, giving the ability to make afterimages by moving at great speeds.

Although upon removing the cloak Urami can now create 5-7 complete life like clones.

Enchanced Strength: Urami can effortlessly deflect many hakuda attacks and can combat them with his own skills. Shirokaze has become quite powerful from his giant weighted cloak, when not fighting with the cloak, Shirokaze becomes a worthy opponent. Urami is capable to fighting with the best fighter in the Shirokaze family and be able to hold his ground. When Urami doesn't have his cloak his power is once again enhanced, without the heavy weight stopping him from going all out, Urami and literally beat his opponents to a pulp. He is quite capable of destroying a shinigami's ribs with several punches, and easily break bones. Urami is also known to be able to completly shatter and decapitate hollows with ease. Whilst training with his Zanpakuto, Urami often went up against his Zanpakuto spirit in hand to hand, he was aiming to make him strong enough to hold the incredibly large Bankai sword that he possessed, they trained for the 10 years required, this training when mastering Bankai has improved Urami quite a lot much more then anyone actually thought

Enhanced Endurence: From all the exploded kido attacks and wearing his large cloak for extended amounts of time, Urami has developed quite good endurence, this has showed in battle where he can continue fighting even after getting attacked by a strong opponent. Urami with his huge size is also a larger target, he is often seen first thus getting attacked. He has developed quite a large endurence, continuing a fight for hours upon end. With Urami's large size gives Urami a large metabolism, meaning he can continue without tiring for much longer then those smaller shinigami and others. Urami from getting beating in training days on end has developed quite a good resistence to wounds. Although he feels all the pain he has learnt to ignore it and continue. Urami is highly resistent to fire and getting burnt, this is mainly because of his Zanpakuto's type, fire. He had often burnt himself in the earlier years of training and has slowly been able to almost become immune to fire and even smoke.

Zanpakuto:
Doragonhauru (ドラゴンハウル, Lit. meaning Dragon Howl) is the Zanpakuto of Urami Shirokaze and is a Fire typed Zanpakuto. Doragonhauru resembles a Nodachi with a bright red sheath, the guard is a simple decagon with a plain design. The handle is embodied with a white ribbon only showing red times traveling down the center of the handle. Whenever Doragonhauru is drawn or being used in battle the temperature around Urami and his blade.



Shikai: Before releasing, Urami places the blade back in its sheath before reciting the release command Sukochi (スコーチ lit. meaning Scorch) When he draws the blade its shape is changed. It has changed into a larger blade, it becomes flame red and the guard has changed into a dragons head. The handle is embroided with dragon scales. The blade itself is split into two smaller seperate blades that cross in a diamond pattern, then almost to another diamond. One blade keeps going into the start of another diamond but stops. Doragonhauru has manipulation and creation of fire, smoke and heat. When the ability is activated, the blade of Doragonhauru becomes completly invisible only looking like fire is present.

Bankai: Before releasing Bankai, Urami makes a circle of fire around him, the flames create a firery dome
 * Iki (息, lit meaning Breath) Upon speaking the command the dragons head releases fire onto the blade. The fire will stay there until the Shikai is reverted, or Urami runs out of spiritual energy or Urami cancels the ability

around him, only then can the bankai be initated. Doragon no zen'no toboe (ドラゴンの全能遠吠え, Lit meaning Almighty howl of the dragon) After that, the dome forms around Urami, shaping his bankai. The blade now takes a similar appearance to Ichigo Kurosaki's incomplete Bankai, there doesn't actually seem to be any solid, but infact the entire thing is solid. Fire has surrounded the blade. This fire has crawled up Urami's right arm and onto his back. The flames have formed a wing, similar to a dragons wing right off his right shoulder. The flames keep going around Urami's back and only end in what looks like a claw clawing into his left shoulder and upper-arm. Despite its rather large size, Urami is able to swing the sword around like it was just as heavy as his sealed form, also with the only one wing Urami is still capable of flight even with a single wing it is complelty even in flight.
 * Jigoku no ryu no chisei (地獄の竜の治世, Lit meaning Reign of the hell dragon) Urami uses the dragons wing to take flight and ascend into the skies. Shirokaze then gathers a bunch of fire on the wing then literally flicks it down towards the ground, As the fire is falling it increases size. This is used for mass destruction and killing multiple targets in an area.
 * Doragon no hi (ドラゴンの火, lit. meaning Dragon fire) Urami creates 10 pillars of flames which appear all around the opponent. He then moves his blade horizontally, doing this brings the pillars closer together enclosing the opponent in the fire. It is said that when all pillars touch the opponent will die.
 * Jigoku supon (地獄スポーン, Lit meaning Hellspawn) Urami injects the fire into the ground, then after a few minutes, the ground in a 15 meter radius begins to slowly burn away until the ground is just left looking like lava.
 * Yogan no shimi (溶岩の染み, Lit meaning Lava stain) One of Urami's most powerful attacks, he actually creates a dragon out of fire, it will circle about Urami and his opponent until directed to attack. When attacked the dragon explodes into hell fire, a large blast of fire is spread throughout a 1Km radius. Urami is able to get damaged by this technique.
