 * Shinryū Jitsuga Tensai (真流日牙天殺, Truth-Style Sun-Fang Heaven Slayer)

Kigetsu (傷月, Wounding Moon) is the name of Kazuki's Zanpakutō. Its sealed form takes the appearance of a pair of, a type of Japanese straight sword, maintaining a single edged blade with no curvature, and a total length of 62.1cm (24.4 inches). Their blades are marked by a red line running down the centre of their lengths before fading into three small red dots at the bottom of either blade. Each sword has a simple, small ringed tsuba and a red hilt that is wrapped in leather straps, creating a ribbed grip design. Their pommels are flat, though the hilt is indented just above it and a grey string is tied around that point attached to a simple adornment that is shaped like the kanji Ōi (多, many). Despite the dual swords, Kigetsu exists as a single spirit though he is known to jokingly speak of having a brother whom he refers to as Shōgetsu (少月, Little Moon). Kigetsu's true form is always that of two blades, but typically maintained the existence of only one of them during the earlier parts of Kazuki's life until Kigetsu felt he was ready to master the full power that he could command.
 * : There is a strong bond between Kigetsu and Kazuki, a mutual relationship where they treat each other as equal, and inseparable, partners. One does not exist without the other, they each acknowledge that neither of them overcomes an obstacle alone, that their accomplishments are met by mutual participation. Though some may prize only Kazuki's skill as a Shinigami or Kigetsu's power as a Zanpakutō, they each thrive on the silent acceptance that their strength comes from their reliance on one another. It is fitting then, that the release command for Kigetsu is "Together" (一緒に, issho ni). When activated, there is a visible build up spiritual energy around Kazuki, cloaking him in a black and red aura that grows and expands before violently exploding, dealing damage to the surrounding area in the process. The Zanpakutō copies this process, with its own build up energy before the blades explodes into their released form. They are transformed into two large oversized cleaver with slight curves to it. The blade is a relatively simple affair, with a single edge made up of a gleaming red beam and the rest of it being black in colouration, the body of the blade is clear apart from three lines running close by the blunt side of the blade. It has a long rectangular hilt stemming from below the blade that ends in a crooked, grip-like pommel.
 * Shikai Special Ability: Kigetsu wields an ability called Sōzo Setsuzoku Sōsa (相互接続操作, Interconnection and Manipulation). As a Time-type Zanpakutō, Kigetsu holds a physical connection to the Dangai, allowing it to draw power from aspects of the realm, the flow of time that has layered up around it in particular. By absorbing large quantities of Kazuki's spiritual energy Kigetsu can then manipulate the very fabric of time and space, a profound ability with innumerable applications. The primary means of achieving its effects are through the manifestation and use of crescent-like blades of energy that can carve into space itself and act as a springboard for Kigetsu's other powers. Though they have a typical shape, Kazuki can alter them to fit his needs at any given time, even reflecting them on himself as a pulse to utilize the effects of his powers on his own body. Though these powers can be fought against, they cannot be resisted by ordinary means, preventing them from going ignored. The only way to resist, or outright negate Kigetsu is to wield a Time-type Zanpakutō of their own, as its powers do not work on something that stems from the same source.
 * Jitsuga Tensai (日牙天殺, Sun-Fang Heaven Slayer): Focusing his across the cutting edge of his Zanpakutō, Kazuki can unleash large crescent shaped blades of red and black energy that project outwards according to the motions of his sword, matching each arc that his sword is swung through. The projectiles can be loosed as soon as they are ready, but Kazuki maintains the ability to hold them back to further empower them before firing. Originally, Kazuki made use of the technique without knowing its name which drastically weakened its power, misunderstanding the concept that names held power, gave it the name "Jiato" (史痕, Chronicle Scar) though he would learn its true name soon after. Jitsuga Tensai boasts a great deal of strength and though its shape is set, its size can be easily altered to fit a given situation. It is a powerful projectile all its own, capable of cutting through most objects with impeccable ease even managing to cut into space itself. To the naked eye, this leaves a given Jitsuga suspended in the air or leashed to whatever surface they had struck. This effect is a means of using Jitsuga Tensai as a springboard for other attacks as the true purpose of each blade is not to defeat an opponent but to connect to each iteration of the technique that lies across the battlefield. As Kigetsu manipulates space and time, the purpose of Jitsuga Tensai is to eliminate the concept of distance and travel in relation to time. Kazuki can fire one technique at a single blade, and the effects would manifest from all of the other blades simultaneously, allowing for a greater effect and the means to unleash devastating combinations from multiple directions. This power is one shared with Satō Shingen and his Zanpakutō Shūgetsu though they are applied somewhat differently. Satō can form several Jitsuga Tensai at once while Kazuki is restricted to one at a time though this is made up for by the fact that Kazuki's are powerful than those used by Satō.
 * Jikangire (時間切れ, Timeout; Lit. "Being Out of Time"): Focusing his Reiryoku into his Zanpakutō only to reflect it back upon himself is a secondary means of creating a Jitsuga Tensai blade. In doing so, Kazuki essentially envelopes himself in his own technique, but as a result it does not create an interconnection between Kazuki and his environment but instead creates a disconnect between him and the world. He is cast outside of time, causing the world to appear as if it has been frozen still. This allows Kazuki to move and act freely without any outside interference, though anything he casts off of himself such as abilities or equipment become frozen as soon as they stop touching him. The disconnect created by the use of this effect is temporary and lasts little more than a handful of seconds, thus its primary use is making escaping an opponent easier, it also retains the purpose of the Jitsuga Tensai through its application, that of being a springboard for other attacks and abilities. Those affected by the technique are, at first, completely unaware of the brief pause in the battle hat had occurred though they are capable of adjusting to it. While they cannot break through its effect, they can realize what is occurring, allowing them to prevent the combinations that Kazuki may setup as they happen.


 * : Kahaku Kigetsu (神縛傷月, God-Bound Wounding Moon): Kazuki first unlocked Bankai during the battle with Adriato Gennian and Ikera Breiixo with the help of Hanashi Saika. Though he hadn't rightfully reached a point where he could activate and maintain Bankai on his own, the spurring of his allies bid Kazuki into making the attempt regardless, with Hanashi inflating his spiritual power using her own, he was able to artificially meet the requirements and a willing Kigetsu bequeathed his final release unto his wielder. He plunges his Zanpakutō into the ground for the activation, causing an immense burst of energy to explode into a condensed pillar of light that rises into the sky. It is considered unusual for Bankai of the time as most were known to explode into gargantuan weapons or incredibly potent effects, instead Kahaku Kigetsu changes are slight with regards to its mass, actually shrinking to some extent. Altered from its form of an oversized and blocky cleaver, Kahaku Kigetsu slims down to the more regular shape of a sword, though the blade is separated into two forked points leaving a hollow space running down the centre. The two blades close in on each other as they terminate but do not fully close the gap between them. The sword is largely black in appearance with a more grey colouration present on the cutting edges and a series of red trailing lines running down the width of the blades themselves. The hilt is a ribbed affair that ends in a curved spade-like pommel. It has been commented on that Kahaku Kigetsu feels incredibly brittle, that each clash felt like the sword was about to break just from hitting against the weapon of its opposition. Despite this, it proved to be strangely sturdy and served as a perfect implement to stave off enemy attacks, even outright cancelling some of the lesser strikes Kazuki's opponents have made. This blade is the culmination of Kazuki's immature Reiryoku being influenced by that of Captain Saika and is therefore not a product of his own strength.


 * Following the war with the Quincy, Kazuki refused to use his Bankai again until he was sure that he was ready, so as to prevent the catastrophe that had occurred when he released it during that confrontation. It would go unseen for several years, before making its return during the War of Days. It was unveiled during the battle in as Kazuki and Captain Johnny Law fought the Togabito Kagara. Its form has been greatly altered from his previous uses as a reflection of his maturation since then. Instead of a sword with a forked blade, Kazuki's Bankai now maintains a single fully formed blade but retains the double-edged style granted by the previous form. The body of the blade maintains two sharp points at the lowest point as well as several slight curves across its length before reaching the tip, giving it a vague wave-like visage. The centre of the blade is home to four hollow spaces with three of them resting a short ways up above the cross-guard while the last is placed further along the body, closer to the middle of the blade. Much of the blade is black in colour, with a red outline surrounding the hollow spaces and dividing the black from the silver pigment of the . Surrounding the blade is a constant beam of red light that hovers a few centimetres away from touching the blade itself. The cross-guard of the sword is shaped like a  and has a red gem inset into it. The hilt is an inversion of its previous form, instead of an outward ribbed design, it is now made up of several indentations that run down the length of the hilt. The pommel is a simple flat disk. This form of his Bankai, though still incomplete, signified that Kazuki had come into his own. He had stopped relying on the power given to him by others and made it a weapon of his own, with his use of this form Kigetsu realized that Kazuki was ready to know the true name of his Bankai.


 * Bankai Special Ability: Due to the means by which he obtained his Bankai, it is unknown if it actually possesses an ability of its own. Though it grants a blanket boost to all of Kigetsu's regular abilities, many Shinigami have made the observation that this is a basic trait of most all Bankai, and that this effect typically comes with an evolution of their signature ability. Kahaku Kigetsu lacks this trait and is much more simplistic as a result. However, as it was originally achieved with Hanashi Saika's power adding to Kazuki's, the power of her Zanpakutō, Yao, is incorporated into Kahaku Kigetsu to some extent.
 * Mitsumata Jitsuga (三叉日牙, Trigeminal Sun-Fang): Use of Jitsuga Tensai is maintained by Kahaku Kigetsu, and its power is greatly amplified by the use of Bankai. While those fired in Shikai could be charged to increase their power, the Mitsumata Jitsuga is always created at its fullest potential allowing it to be released immediately with no drawbacks. The power that has been allotted to them greatly alters their form, instead of appearing as large crescent-shaped blades, they now reflect a more missile-like look with one end being a pointed tip while the other frays off into three endings, hence its name ("Trigeminal" meaning "occurrence in threes"). It is typically fired in a different manner than the Shikai, given its new shape, with Kazuki preferring to fire the attack as if they were bullets, though he can still unleash them from the arc of a swing. The destructive potential of each Mitsumata Jitsuga is brought to the forefront, allowing Kazuki to become a far more straightforward combatant without overly relying on typical trickery to get by. Once launched, each of the projectiles can be controlled whilst in flight, as directed by Kazuki's free hand.
 * Shimata Jitsuga (四叉日牙, Quadrigeminal Sun-Fang): A further strengthening of the Jitsuga Tensai that results in the frayed side gaining another edge. Its appearance is exclusive to the second form of Kahaku Kigetsu and its existence serves as another example of his growing control over his powers, as Shimata Jitsuga was a creation entirely of Kazuki's own will rather than something granted by Kigetsu itself or the remnants of Hanashi Saika's energy. It is significantly stronger than its counterparts, leaving behind enormous explosions in its wake. It was used to punch through the defenses of Kagara, as well it proved capable of delivering deep, brutal wounds to Satō Shingen despite the latter being much stronger than Kazuki.
 * Seishin no Tōei (精神の投影, Projection of the Spirit): Having suffered fatal injuries at the hands of Adriato and Ikera, Hanashi pleaded with Kazuki to release his Bankai despite him still being in training to achieve it. To do so she aided him in its activation by bolstering his spiritual power with what remained of her own. This act actually preserved her existence in some form, as her powers became incorporated into that of the newly released Kahaku Kigetsu. Hanashi herself continues to exist within Kazuki's Inner World, and through this connection could manifest herself in the physical world for brief moments to lend her assistance to Kazuki, though Kigetsu believed she was only out for her own ambitions and attempted to restrain her, meaning that she could only appear when the connection was at its strongest: during Bankai. When manifested, it is as if she has truly returned from the dead. Her speech and mannerism remains true, and her skills remain intact, everything from her Kidō to the abilities of her own Zanpakutō are available to her.


 * : Kikan Kigetsu (期間傷月, Time Span Wounding Moon): The true name of Kazuki's Bankai. Following the battle with Kagara, Kigetsu had come to realize that its wielder had come into his own, that he had matured enough to be able to wield Kigetsu's real power without fear of being destroyed by it. He would reveal his true name in conjunction with the Gotei 13's plan to bolster Kazuki's fighting ability. The last step of which, involved communication between Kazuki and Kigetsu while the Shinigami was immersed in a great font of spiritual power, at the heart of the current jūreichi (重霊地, Important Spirit Ground).
