Tamashī no Sonshitsu

Tamashī no Sonshitsu (魂の損失, Soul Loss) is a sword style and the supposed counterpart to the Zanjutsu (Fanon) fighting style of the Shinigami. The inventor and true master of this technique is unknown, but a popular tutor of it in the Rukongai district is Asuka Sakamoto, a courier in the V-14 mercenary group. It is highly popular among non-Shinigami sword-fighters due to its ability to allow them to take on those with "superpowers" such as those of the Zanpakutō.
