Kagerou (spirit)


 * "A short-lived life can hold all the meaning in the world." - Reversereality

Kagerou is the spiritual manifestation of Juro Kazuma's Zanpakutou. It's release command is Emerge. The sealed form takes on the appearance of a katana with an average length. The tsuba itself has open spaces that form an intricate design. Like that of a mayfly, Kagerou has a short 'life-span'. She does not die like any mortal or spirit in the sense of the destruction of her body, but her memories up until the end of a certain amount of time vanish. This leaves her with no recollection of her own user, and it forces Juro to reinstigate the bond with her. Because of this, Juro is also forced to subjugate her again and again in order for him to use his Bankai.

Personality
Kagerou is forgetful, and is always shocked to see Juro as if were her first time meeting him. Nevertheless, Kagerou still retains her personality.

She is seen as forgetful and absent-minded, but she is fully aware of the time that she has left. This allows her to manage the time that she has wisely and give Juro advice on how to wield her properly. Her personality matches that of Juro's but in order to make use of the time that she has left, Kagerou takes on an authoritative and executive role. This allows Juro to swiftly relearn Shikai again and again without much time as well as relearn Bankai.

Zanpakutou Abilities
Shikai Special Ability
 * Erupting Exit Wounds: Kagerou's only ability is to increase the amount of force when the weapon pierces through a target. The exit wound caused by the blade bursts even wider than the radius of the blade to ensure a killing stroke. This allows cuts and stabs to be very deep the moment the blade inflicts a wound on the target. It is like an insect erupting out of its shell.

Bankai Special Ability:
 * Gas Explosion: The blade of the Shikai shines, crumbles, and sublimates into a gas at an instant before shooting itself forward. The gas serves as a catalyst that repeatedly ignites the air. The gas also draws in more of the air to continue the combustion. The explosion lasts only in the instant the blinding shine is emitted from the blade. After use, the handle of the katana is left and Bankai nor Shikai may be used until the blade is reconstructed. Juro also has to relearn Bankai from the 'next' Kagerou since using the Bankai prompts the 'death' of the prior Kagerou.

Behind the Scenes

 * This Zanpakutou was inspired by Kagerou Project and the character Kagerō from Naruto.
