Powers and Abilities
Kidou Master: As a former member of the Kidou Corps Raiden displays a vast knowledge on Kidou spells and Kidou Mechanics which he has used to modify some traditional spells. He is known to be able to cast vast spells even when he was a Lieutenant of the Twelve Division and has stated he is more found of Bakudou than Hadou even though he uses Hadou 88 frequently.


 * Unique Kidou: Raiden spent long enough in the Kidou Corps to study Kidou Mechanics thoroughly. He used to spend hours after hours refining his skills so sharply that he was even nominated to become the next Lieutenant after Ushoda Hachigen but declined the request stating “I don’t have time for that, a seat so close to the Captain’s would give me little to no time to keep studying this art, there is much more to know and my intentions lay far beyond from where I am standing at right now.”. Some years after he achieved Kidou mastery he started developing his own techniques which range from defensive to offensive, bindings, seals, some of them undetectable, and a forbidden one.

Zanpakuto
“Night has fallen, yet the sun still shines brightly on its heavenly home.” A blade described by its owner as a silent cry of the night Yogarasu is a guardless, slim and straight katana with midnight blue handle, average sized but slightly lighter in weight than the usual zanpakuto, owned by Unohana Raiden. When it is not in the battlefield Yogarasu resides within its dark blue scabbard that Raiden mostly ties to his waist but can be seen carrying around on his hand from time to time without effort, the scabbard has drawn in white the outline of two feathers floating in water rippling its surface. Yuugen: Raiden developed a technique along with his zanpakuto named Yuugen (The Occult) which allows him to move through space fairly fast. When Raiden wants to do this he can simply grab the handle of Yogarasu and after saying the name of the technique he will vanish and appear at or near his destination. This technique used is based on space-time Kidou which makes it strictly forbidden within Soul Society; nevertheless he doesn’t seem to care and uses it whenever he needs it. Shikai Special Ability: Yogarasu can perform a variety of offensive, defensive, and binding black colored Kidou based techniques which Raiden activates upon calling their name. Some of them are strong enough to take on high ranked Shinigami and even completely seal their Reiatsu.
 * Shikai: Its Shikai command is Mix with the Shadows (影と混合, Kage to Kongou) during which only a few aspects about Yogarasu change. To release it Raiden holds Yogarasu by the handle pointing upwards to the sky when he says the release command the whole sword starts shining with a dark blue Reiatsu. Following this the cry of a crow is heard and two fine threads grow from the base of the hilt and a black feather appears at the end of each thread, after this the soft cloth that once covered the hilt turns into a black scaly skin like the one on a crow’s feet then the glow of the Reiatsu slowly dissipates completing the transformation.


 * Kyoushin  (Resonance 共振): When Raiden wants to locate an enemy that is possibly hiding or too far away to be seen he takes Yogarasu out of the scabbard and taps the blade against it creating a high pitched sound that is imperceptible to everyone but him. The sound travels and acts like a sonar and bounces back when the target has been located, the feedback provides him with coordinates of the enemy location. Even though it travels through the known dimensions it also infiltrates alternate planes between them and it capable of expanding for as far as 5 miles.
