Zanpakuto
Satetsu's Zanpakuto is called Gaikotsu (スケルトン, Skeleton). It is originally sealed as a nodachi with a ovular guard and bronze colored sheath. The handle matches the sheath. The release phrase is Protect and Serve

Shikai- In Shikai, Gaikotsu becomes a large [[Dao (sword)|Dao, with a resemblance to a Schmitar. It has a long black handle with a bone shaped guard. The blade is long and gets wider towards the top. It is usually wrapped in a black bandage that connects from the handle. It can be stripped by Satetsu's molding of reiatsu through it. It is shown that Gaikotsu is a constant release type, always being in its Shikai state.

Shikai Abilities
 * Majutsu (lit. Black Magic) - Gaikotsu's signature technique in which Satetsu will gather a black reiatsu around the blade. He will swipe down, releasing black wave shaped blast of reiatsu at the target. They have shown to crackle with a black lightning, that has shown to create a loud boom when the technique hits.
 * Kuroji (lit. Black Ground)- Stabbing Gaikotsu into the ground, the area will surge with black reiatsu. From it, a large skeleton hand of pure black energy will rise out and grab at the target, squeezing until they "pop". The arm resembles a human arm with no skin, bearing some of the bones and the muscular system as well.
