Yoshiya Kiryu

Yoshiya Kiryu or Joshua, literally translating from left to right as paulonia, birth, justice, is an enigmatic character. Extremely anitsocial, he walks in shadows and observes the Gotei 13 with interest, for he is the Right Hand of the Soul King.

Personality
Joshua is an extremely intelligent character with a refined taste and knowledge for the world around him. Unfortunately, these traits are often overshadowed by his constant air of arrogance. He prefers to think and act by himself, always keeping his intentions mysterious. Joshua very rarely gets honestly worked up (and is usually lying when he appears to be), and is always teasing when he is not sharing information.

Powers and Abilities
Boundless Spiritual Energy: Yoshiya is capable of bringing down his foes merely by glancing at them. It takes him much effort not to instantly stop their heart, as expected of the Right Hand.

Despite his pacifist personality, many have tried to assassinate him due to his incredible power.

Kid'ō' Master: One of the first people to discover and use Hadō #99, he is immensly powerful and can use any types of Kidō as he pleases.

Hakuda Master: While preferring not to, he is extremely competent in hand-to-hand combat. He is easily able to smash effortlessly through Hierro of the densest kind.

Shunpo: The true extent of his skill is not known, however he is capable to beat one the most users of Shunpo.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: While preferring not to use his Zanpakuto, he has grown extremely skilled in using it to the point of fighting three captains at once, using his sealed form.

Zanpakuto
Ludicium (in Latin lit. judgement) is Yoshiya's zanpakuto. It takes the form of a nondescript zanpakuto, except that it is much longer and is not seen to the visible eye. He calls it to his hand in a flash of light.

Shikai: Triggered by the phrase " Smite",  Lucidium's only noticable change is that the hilt gains an embossed stylized scales, respresenting "Law".

Subactis deos (lit. Subjugation of the gods: The only one of its kind, Lucidium is capable of bringing down the divine light of God upon his foes. However, this is incredibly taxing upon his body and he can pass out from using this. It's used by gripping the blade by the hilt and swinging it down upon the enemy.

Bankai: Iudicium in Mundus (lit. Judgement of the World: In this form, Yoshiya gains a pair of angelic wings, further enhancing his already potent abilities. In this form, Subactis deos is powerful enough to warp reality itself, violating the laws of the world. However, as he rarely fights, almost nothing happens. The true extent of his Bankai's powers are still unknown.
