Nenshō Jishin

Nenshō Jishin (燃焼自信, Japanese for Burning Confidence) is a powerful Fōrun-juu- created whenever Riki Nagakura and Jinta Kanō utilize the Fusion Technique to join there bodies and powers into one - creating one individual with all there strengths explosively augmented.

As Riki is the dominant fusee during the execution of the technique, Nenshō carries over more traits from Riki than those expressed by Jinta. He is a cold, quiet and resolute man with few qualms to hold him back.

Appearance
Nenshō is a noticeably tall young man, standing at a greater height than either Riki or Jinta would separately, with a muscular physique and mature look that grants him an outward appearance at odds with his young age. During his brief appearances, he is described as a handsome young man - if a little distant - with deep brown eyes and a patch worn to cover his right eye, theorized by Naibu to be Jinta's admiration of Yoshiro Kazuki being made visually apparent. It should be noted, however, that his singular gaze has been noted to be quiet weighty and penetrating, as though it were looking to the depths of your very soul. The admiration on Jinta's part is also highlighted through the red tattoo that is also present on the outside of Nenshō's right arm, just above his bicep. Unlike Riki or Jinta, Nenshō usually wears his hair combed down instead of spiked, which only bears a small degree of blond throughout and none of the rosy-color seen in Jinta's; with his own being more black. Nenshō also has quite sharp facial features; a sharp nose, defined cheek bones and a pointed chin - though his combed down hair usually serves to shadow these features from view.

His clothing is very traditional for a Shinigami, especially in light of the individual fusees used to create him, as neither actually don a Shihakushō (死覇装, Garment of Dead Souls) in their individual appearances. Kenji states that the pride Jinta has in his Shinigami powers is what allowed this phenomenon to occur. Nenshō sports a slightly modified Shihakushō that bears no sleeve on the right arm which is also quite open at the back, which serves to highlight his tattoo quite clearly, as well as his muscular physique and defined build. As a result, his kosode reveals the bottom-right of his chest and is tied in place with a white ōbi sash done up in a tight knot that looks somewhat like a ribbon, though its tied at the back as opposed to the front. The left sleeve, though, has been noted to be quite long; easily allowing him to hide his hand within to disguise simple acts like hand signals or Kidō usage to better surprise others or for simple comfort. The hakama are, as opposed to his kosode, quite plain and simple, baring the color black that hug close to his legs, but with a degree of looseness that prevents them encumbering his movements in battle.

From his ōbi sash lies his sealed zanpakutō, with the sheath threaded through in the traditional manner; though Nenshō is commonly seen carrying it in his left hand to accommodate his style of combat and preferences to dual-bladed swordsmanship. To complete his appearance, Nenshō opts instead for simple geta as opposed to the average waraji Shinigami commonly wear, with red-colored straps over his feet to keep them in place and a light brown finish that add a few extra centimeters to his already impressive height. To add flair and - in his own words - highlight the respect he has for Naibu Shizuka, Nenshō usually wears a delicate piece of red-colored string around his left wrist, a piece Naibu often wears in his hair to tie up his ponytail; which also highlights Jinta's fondness for wristbands and similar accessories.

Personality
To Naibu's initial shock and immense surprise, Nenshō acts in a mature and respectful manner, something the elder thought to be impossible considering the two youngsters who joined to create Nenshō in the first place. In fact, Naibu initially labelled the fusion as a "bad idea" because he suspected a goofy clown with a love and thirst for battle that few could hope to rival, which in Naibu's words would serve to be "one big headache" for him. This is not the case, however. Nenshō is kind, polite and quick with honorifics to those he holds respect for, as he calls his mentor Naibu-sensei exclusively.

This respect carries over to battle situations, as Nenshō always finds the time to bow his head in recognition of his opponents skill and abilities and also through his misuse of underhanded tactics such as eye gouges, crotch shots and fish hooks that Riki himself favors. He never looks down or otherwise belittles his opponents and seeks to actually help some of them improve by giving pointers and helpful advice.

However, there are traits that he carries over from his fusees. Like Riki he is in possession of great confidence; both in himself as a person and as a warrior, though by no means is he big-headed about his abilities, looks or chances in a fight.

Zanpakutō
Zen'nōdarou (全能だろう, Omnipotent Will) is the name of Nenshō's zanpakutō. The weapon is quite ornate and richly decorated, with delicate Japanese characters displayed on the blades flat sides, with a golden furnished guard that extends to cover the first two inches of the blade proper. The zanpakutō itself appears like a katana with a keen outward edge and an even keener cutting edge on the reverse of the blade, making it ideal in any situation. The tip is also tapered to a fine tip, giving it a great deal of piercing power also.
