This article is about the manifested spirit of Yugi Mizuki's Zanpakutō. For his Zanpakutō and abilities, see Yugi's Zanpakuto.

Munraito (月明かり, lit. "Moonlight") is the manifested spirit of Yugi Mizuki's Zanpakutō. He's appear after both Yugi and Shirosaki lost their Tensa Zangetsu's power during their battle against Muramasa.

Appearance
When Yugi's sword manifested in human form, always wear his usual outfit consists of the standard male Senior High School uniform complete with a closed buckled collar. His extremely extravagant hair features multiple layers including long blond crooked, pointy locks for his fringe, the rest features a set of five large spikes and two smaller spikes colored black with a magenta sheen along the edges.

And also, he seen wearing sorta like an inverted pyramid with chains as his neckless. His outside looks its closed to Mizuki's age and sometime he carry a card in one of his clothes pocket.

And also his seen wears uniform a darker shade of blue, when on a fight against another Zanpakutou sometimes wears the jacket as a cape.

According to Ichigo, Munraito's manifested appear in this shape becausing of Yugi's mysterious past. Its still unknown why he appear like that. But he noticed something if Yugi really want him to appear in this male human form for making Yugi remembered something about her past.

He also been noticed by another Zanpakutou spirits as the uniquest manifested form from all Zanpakutou spirits. He once seen with Zangetsu, when both Ichigo and Mizuki met each other in their inner world.

Munraito admires Zangetsu as his senior, it seen when he called him Zangetsu-senpai. It means he somewhat, had a relationship as senior and junior with Zangetsu. But he admires both Mizuki as his partner.

Personality
Munraito (or most been called as Yami) is really energic and has strong confidence when in any situation. He is also wise and intelligent. He knows all the rules and details of Soul Society, which he did appear as Yugi's Zanpakutou for her own sake (since Soul Society has a rule to don't allow two Shinigami has the same Zanpakutou).

He appear when after Yugi lost her Tensa Zangetsu, actually she didn't lost it but Tensa Zangetsu did leave its bit power on him, ironicly Yugi didn't know about this.

When in manifested Human form, Yami seen always brought a card which acted as his sealed state (its quite different from Yugi's sealed state) to hide his true Zanpakutou. And when needed, he changed that card into its Shikai form.

He also shows some physical abilities of leaping, agility, balancing, and durability. It makes him how capable he is when not in Zanpakutou form.

His appearance in Bankai state doesn't change at all but he showed the same mature like Yugi's past mature, really confident and keen intellect. According to Shirosaki, it seems Munraito really had the same mature like that and also making everyone know about the true mature of his master, Yugi (actually just several Captain and Lieutenant also another seated officer Shinigami of Gotei 13 who know that personality, including Ichigo and Rukia).

Powers & Abilities
High Spiritual Energy: Munraito, as a Zanpakutō Spirit, has very high spiritual power. His spiritual energy while under Yugi's ownership is pure black, and under Shirosaki's, it is light red. But actually his original spiritual energy when in his manifested form is light yellow.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: During his short battle against Yugi and her inner hollow, Munraito demonstrated highly proficient skill in swordsmanship, enough to fight most of the battles with only a single hand. With well-timed manuevers, Munraito was repeatedly able to land critical hits on both Yugi and Shirosaki (although they were quickly healed).

Enhanced Speed: During his battles, Munraito was shown to be highly fast, able to outmaneuver a number of relentless assaults from Hollow Mizuki.

Illusion Master: For unknown reason, Munraito had an ability which make his enemy been having shock attack. Probably he achieved this ability when crossing Yugi's hidden past at her inner world.

Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Munraito has learned to handle much larger opponents than he is with his fists alone. Utilizing his small frame he is capable of using speed rather than power to swiftly overwhelm his opponents.
