Upon being released Hinokagutschi turn into a segmented broad bladed sword. The intense heat and flame emitted from the weapon come from within these segments. The flame is easily capable of turning Cairo's enemies to ash.

Shikai Release Ability: 

       Hibashira (Pillar of Flame): Cairo places all of his weight into the tip of the sword increasing his destructive power. Also utilizing the weapons partial whiplike nature increases his attack range. As he swings his weapon in this manner the weapon begins to separate and unleashes intense heat, when the weapon makes contact an explosive flame erupts from the segments.

Gurensen (Crimson Lotus Swipe): Cairo places the weapon up in the air as the blade becomes superheated. As he brings down the blades multiple segments come apart revealing the same superheated color as the outside. By swinging the blade in the manner Cairo is capable of powerful, swift, and fluid heated slashes.

Shuengetsu (Red Full Moon): Hinokagutsuchi glows an intense red as its blade explodes in flames that threaten to turn everything around it to complete and total ash. As the happens the base segments fall at a 90 degree angle and Cairo begins to swing them at such an incredible speed that it resembles its namesake ''Red Full Moon. ''This is Cairo's strongest Shikai attack being that it is so destructive. The weapon is constantly swinging in a circle maintaining momentum. This momentmum combined with the intense flames and the fact that the force is completely in the blade make truly worthy of being called Cairo's strongest Shikai attack. While like this the blade is capable of two major things. The first is repelling projectile attacks or incinerating them depending on their  construction. The second is that the blade can be fully extended from any angle for a powerful surprise attack.
