Getsuga Tengoku (Japanese: "Moon Fang Heaven Shield"): Shagetsu's signature and trademark ability, Getsuga Tengoku is a variant of the Getsuga Tensho technique that is exclusive to Shagetsu. It is unique amoung a large majority of it's other variants in that the energy in which would normally be used for a Getsuga Tensho attack, as well as the energy that was used to shield Akira upon Shagetsu's initial release, is all instead used to create a great and powerful shield that can defend Akira from even the most devestating of attacks depending on how much Spiritual Energy is put into the blade. The main drawback to using this technique is that, upon initial use, the energy coating that was previously released as a result of calling Shagetsu's Shikai evaporates and is no longer usable once Getsuga Tengoku has been used for the first time. This causes Getsuga Tengoku's effectiveness to lower somewhat, but it is still usable afterwords. Like his energy coating shield, Akira can also use the attack to shield others by swinging the energy towards his ally and then covering them in the coat of Spiritual power and thus giving them greater protection from oncoming attacks.
