Eishabu Tatsuneji

Eishabu Tatsuneji (龍捻子-映射武, Tatsuneji Eishabu, lit. Shining Valor of the Dragon Helix) is a Shinigami of the Gotei 13, and the Lieutenant of the 13th Division. His Captain is Asuka Tenraiseki.

Appearance
Eishabu is a tall, muscular man with sharp features, short light-gray hair and brown eyes. His hair is spiked ever-so-slightly, with his sideburns shaped like lightning bolts to an extent. On the left side of his face is a purple scar shaped like a fang.

For attire, Eishabu wears the standard Shinigami Shihakushō (死覇装, Garment of Dead Souls) and sandals. However, his sleeves are cut off, leaving several frayed fragments of fabric to stick out at his shoulders.

Personality
Eishabu is a gruff and serious young man who can be rather decisive, though he is easily annoyed and is rather temperamental, often to a fault. He is greatly irked by immaturity, evident when he has to deal with the antics of his lower squad members; only calming down when they tell him that they were playing jokes on him. In fact, the only person who can match him in seriousness is that of his Captain, Asuka.

He is frequently irritated by the childish behaviour of the third and fourth seats—and he has even stated that they irk him even when they're not around—this aggressiveness even translates to that of combat. Of course, his Captain has stated that Eishabu himself is too childish to hold back. Even so, Eishabu can be rather kind-hearted towards children.

Zanpakutō
Hajiki (覇時期, Time of Supremacy) is the name of Eishabu's Zanpakutō. When sealed, it takes upon the form of a katana.

Shikai: Upon the command "Freeze" (氷結, Hyōketsu), Hajiki transforms into a powerful combat knife that, despite its short range, packs an incredible punch.

Shikai Special Abilities: Hajiki's special ability is rather intriguing; as it involves that of a limited form of time manipulation. This works in an unusual way—every time that the blade of the knife touches an projectile composed of spiritual energy, it freezes and then decomposes the reishi particles that make it up, in essence nullifying it. This means that most projectiles will have little to no effect in regards to threat level to Eishabu.
