Jinzen Gutaikatō (刃禅具体化道, Way of the Blade Zen Materialization) is an ancient method of training to unlock a Zanpakutō's power which was practised by the original founding members of the Gotei 13. It is a process that shortens the natural training required to wield and communicate with a Zanpakutō to a ten day period. It focuses on forcing an Asauchi to take on an aspect of the wielder's soul instead of allowing the blade to take on that fragment over a long stretch of time. This culminates in an immediate summoning of the spirit into the physical world where the wielder must learn the spirit's identity and then subjugate it in order to simultaneously achieve both Shikai and Bankai. This form of awakening is dangerous and can easily result in death of the attempting Shinigami given that the spirit is typically hostile due to the forced nature of the process. A Zanpakutō awakened in this manner is weaker than it would be otherwise, at least initially, but can be brought up to its proper level over time. Zanpakutō Spirits called out by this training method are forced to stay in physical form for a total of thirty days, allowing them to better come to know their Shinigami wielders.

Shinuka (浸食, The Eroded One) is the name of Xiuhcoatl's Zanpakutō. Its sealed form is highly unconventional for a Zanpakutō, taking the form of a with a fairly ornate design. Made out of wood, the blade looks to be little more than a simple plank. There are a set of small cords wrapped around the blade at two separate points, they are tied in such a manner as to create an hourglass shape and are adorned with small white feathers and blue beads on the end, two of which are placed on the uppermost set and one of the lower. In between them sits a set of six stones inset into the blade, each marked with a green cross. A further six of these stones rest on the top of the blade, just beyond the higher set of cords. The sides of the blade are carved inward and shards of obsidian are inset into these sides in order to give the blade a disguised cutting edge. It has no guard of any sort, and the blade feeds right into the handle, which is a simple cylindrical grip with a swirling blue-line pattern descending across it. The pommel is a coin-shaped disc.
 * : Xiuhcoatl greatly dislikes his Zanpakutō, in fact he attempts to forego using it entirely and prefers to keep it on him only as a symbol of his station. Forcing him to use his Zanpakutō and to release it are tantamount to pushing him to the brink of his capabilities forcing him to cast aside his morals and feelings in order to eke out a victory. It is no wonder then that the release command for Shinuka is "Regret" (後悔, kōkai). Xiuhcoatl throws his weapon upward into a spin, catching it as it comes back down. This simple feat causes the materials of his sword to invert, the primary body of the blade becoming obsidian while its edges are now made of wood, however, instead of being inset into the blade, the wood covers it essentially blunting the weapon entirely. Xiuchoatl refers to this form as the Key (鍵, kagi), it is an ancillary part of his Shikai but not the true body. That comes in the form of a gargantuan box that is five metres tall and equally as wide. The box manifests as an immensely powerful wind that encircles Xiuhcoatl, ripping apart anything near him which is necessary as the matter of whatever is destroyed is used to create the box. This part of the activation may be foregone, but in doing so Shinuka is robbed of its abilities as a Kidō-Type Zanpakutō, rendering into little more than a blunt club. This fact, the need for the death of others to truly activate Xiuhcoatl's Zanpakutō is why he detests it so. The box, once manifested, is covered in various patterns evocative of designs, it is also visibly sectioned into numerous parts, with each face carrying eleven sections to it. Xiuhcoatl refers to this part as the Chamber (室, muro).
