 * Shikai Special Ability: Kokuten wields an ability referred to as Inyō Koden (古伝陰陽, Myth of the Sun and Moon). It is a power with great versatility, something that has only grown over the years. Originally it was an ability focused on manipulating light exclusively, but after subsuming the powers that had been dedicated to her Shinuchi, Icía and Kokuten gained the ability to control not only the light but the darkness, its absence, as well. Rather than the manipulation of two separate abilities, Icía defines Kokuten's ability as having simply broadened its definition. Nonetheless, Inyō Koden is an ability of extraordinary power and incredible application. Almost everything in the world is covered in a blanket of light emanating from the Sun, and that which is able to hide from it, however briefly, is instead shrouded in darkness. As such, nothing is ever free from Kokuten's power, something that could be said to encapsulate everything in its grip. It is the ability to manipulate all forms of light, no matter the source, be it natural, artificial, or even fantastical. Its enormous power is such that in order to use it at all, it must be focused and devoted through the use of "declarations" (宣言, Sengen), a form of calligraphical art that is etched into the air with Icía's own spiritual power to form seals that correspond to Kokuten's abilities. If these seals are not formed, then any attempt to use Kokuten's power will prove fruitless, because the sheer scope of what Kokuten has access can be catastrophic if even the slightest mistake is made. Declaring an ability gives a semblance of sentience to its function and purpose, allowing it to be directed more easily. On top of that this also localizes the ability to an extent so that Icía could warp an entire city's perception of light and dark without altering anything outside of it.
 * Akeshoku (明け食, Daylight/Eclipse): Activated by writing the Chinese character  (提, Chinese for "Raise"). This is the most fundamental ability of Kokuten's Shikai, the most basic of the effects it can achieve, and a largely supplemental one at that. Even so, this ability alone has considerable power and may even sway entire battles with a single use. It is the ability to change day into night and vice versa. After writing the correct character in the air, it explodes causing a blinding light, or an impenetrable darkness, to shoot outwards to envelope the area. The radius enveloped by this mass of light or dark is considerable, capable of stretching out to 305 square mile (790 km2) radius allowing it to encapsulate entire cities within its effects. Though it might appear to be an optical illusion, Akeshoku is actually an incredibly powerful barrier and its limits cannot be internally breached. Meaning one may enter into the barrier but they cannot leave. Those who attempt to do so are sent back to the centre of the affected area effectively creating an infinitely-looping maze. Attempting to break through the barrier with force also proves to be ineffective as attacks will simply pass through it harmlessly. Otherwise the bounded field is completely invisible to outsiders as are those currently trapped within it. The effects, whether the field emits an immensely blinding light or drowns everything in darkness is determined by Kokuten's status. That is whether it is sheathed or revealed, the former reflecting the dark and the latter being the light. This not only selects what the barrier projects when it is first activated but can also be changed at will by Icía through the simple act of sheathing or unsheathing her sword.
 * Onmyōsaya (陰陽鞘, Dark-Bright Scabbard): As the scabbard of Icía's Zanpakutō is fused into its body as part of the transition into Shikai, it lacks one to be used as part of the mechanics of Akeshoku. To circumvent this, Icía is capable of forging a scabbard out of her own Reiatsu together with Kokuten's own. This is done by first molding their Reiatsu into the correct shape, and then creating layers on top of it to grant the shape solidity and material presence. The scabbard looks as if it was crafted from pure light, and constitutes enough brightness to hide the Zanpakutō sheathed in it, but is not powerful enough to prove blinding. In addition, though a sheath serves to effectively blunt the sword stored within, the nature of Icía's Reiatsu-forged sword actually greatly increases the amount of physical power drawn out with each swing, allowing her to do more damage. The sheath is also incredibly hot, despite its relatively dim glow, effectively replacing the ability to cut with the ability to burn. Icía notes that any proper covering would work to act as an impromptu scabbard for the effects of Akeshoku, but Kokuten would only accept something that she would consider as grandiose as herself. Icía uses this technique instead of easier methods as in the past, Kokuten outright deactivated the ability in a fit of protest when subjected to something of perceived lesser quality.
 * Meian (明暗, Light and Dark): Activated by writing the Chinese character  (努, Chinese for "Strive"). Akeshoku's ability to create a field of pure light or one of total darkness is an incredible feat, though it is not without its flaws. The ability generates this light from the Sun or the Moon in order to encapsulate a specific area but ignores all other sources of light in the area, thus when the field is created, these other sources remain untouched which can lead to interference with the effects of the field as shadowy locations would be easier to find in the light, and lights would provide refuge in the dark. Meian is the answer to this inevitable complication. Through which Kokuten possesses the means to absorb sources of light and darkness, totally consuming them and leaving behind a sort of deadened spot where the source can no longer appear, even if that should be impossible according to conventional sciences. In addition to absorbing light and dark from typical sources (Light, shadows, etc.) Kokuten may also use this to absorb the energy of techniques that rely on light or darkness, such as those attacks projected by Fire and Lightning-type Zanpakutō. This absorbed energy is converted into spiritual power and be used to further empower Kokuten's attacks or to replenish her reserves, a trait that she can also share with Icía. This particular part of the effect is rarely seen however, as Kokuten is loathe to accept "help" from others and would much rather die than "taint [her] pure light with such inferior qualities" or so she remarks to Icía.
 * Kiyokitana (清汚, Pure/Polluted): Activated by writing the Chinese character  (橫; Chinese for "Horizontal"). Kokuten absorbs light or shadows from the surrounding area, drawing them into itself whilst also gathering together a large amount of Icía's spiritual power to mix with with the absorbed energy. This energy is then projected along the arc of any following sword swings greatly augmenting their attack power whilst also unleashing terrifying energy attacks. These strikes take the form of a massive transparent curtain of light or darkness, depending on which of the two Kokuten absorbs prior, that is capable of great destruction despite its relatively unassuming appearance. The curtain of energy looks immaterial, but is very much a solid entity, and an extremely sharp one at that. The damage caused by the attack is not an explosive detonation or otherwise spiritual force like one might expect, instead it is a purely physical one. The curtain of energy that is unleashed can be likened to a projection of part of a gigantic Zanpakutō and its sudden appearance comes with incredible momentum allowing it to slice through anything unlucky enough to be caught by its initial appearance. The strength of these projections are decided in part by how much of Icía's energy Kokuten uses, but they are also effected by their current surroundings. A blade made of shadow is far more powerful when conjured in the midst of a great quantity of light, and the same is true for a blade of light manifesting in the middle of the night. Likewise these blades find their power diminished when unleashed in their own element, though they are still capable of considerable damage even so. Icía likens this quality to Kokuten's own need for attention; a shadow summoned amongst shadows immediately blends in, but cast out in the light it stands out clearly instead. These projections, once cast and having dealt their initial strike are left to fade away after a brief period, Icía can, however, force them to remain by creating a tether between herself and them, fueling them with spiritual power in order to use them as barriers.
 * Reiatsu Kansho (冷熱寒暑, Hot and Cold; Summer and Winter): Activated by writing the Chinese character  (撇, Chinese for "Slant"). Kokuten's power is to control all forms of light up to and including manipulation of even the Sun and moon, as hinted at by the name of her power. The control Kokuten,and thus Icía, can exert over the celestial bodies is relatively subtle and is more applicable to the light that they generate than true manipulation of the Sun and moon themselves. In this case, a massive glyph of intricate design is manifested high in the atmosphere and serves to act as a focus for the light coming down from the Sun or the moon. In the presence of the Sun, the glyph greatly intensifies the heat streaming from it such that wherever this light is shone immediately explodes in a catastrophic blaze of flames. Though the light from the Sun could hit truly enormous targets across entire countries, the glyph's focus limits the effect of this ability to the same reach as Kokuten's other abilities, that is the size of a large-scale city. While still tremendously powerful, it is at least more manageable at that scale. When in the presence of the moon, the power of the glyph changes to reflect the night and those qualities associated with it, namely the cold. While the arrival of the night usually brings with it a cooling in temperature it is rarely so overt as to be incredibly noticeable by those effected. The glyph, however, exaggerates this effect extremely such that it freezes everything within its gaze near instantly. Though all of Kokuten's abilities are technically limited by some form of restriction in finding a source of light or darkness in their surroundings, Reiatsu Kansho is the only one where it can actually be referred to as a limitation. With the abundance of light and darkness in any given location, Kokuten's other abilities are able to freely switch between their differing forms with ease. Reiatsu Kansho relies entirely upon the position of the Sun and moon, and which of the two currently dominates the sky. Icía has also noted that the moon in Hueco Mundo is unnatural, preventing the glyph from working there.
 * Asayūhi (朝夕日, Rising/Setting Sun): Activated by writing the Chinese character  (波, Chinese for "Wave"). By rapping the blade of her Zanpakutō across any given surface, Icía can cause a visible echo to ring out around her across a considerable distance. Any form of light caught within the reach of this echo is ripped from its source and pulled into massing clumps of spiritual energy that migrate towards Icía. By pointing her sword at a target, these lights can then be transformed and directed as a rainbow-coloured cascade of energy beams. While outwardly simplistic, once these beams are given a target they are capable of hunting it down on their own as they possess a homing quality. They also prove to be rather smart, snaking through and around obstacles that would prevent them from reaching their intended target of choice. This is because the souls found within the various lights are kept intact and used to enrich the spiritual energy with a limited form of intelligence, aiding them in carrying out their task. The beams aren't particularly powerful by Icía's standards, but they have been shown to melt straight through solid rock and bone with incredible ease, making them nothing to trifle with. By instead striking Kokuten's hilt against a surface, the effect can be changed to instead consume various shadows. The ensuing barrage of energy beams is largely the same, the end result differs. Where-as those conjured with light burn through their victims, the dark variation causes no immediate harm, instead they pass through their victim and weaken them. Those hit with a dark beam find their strength sapped, their resistances lowered and their stamina draining as if they had immersed themselves in the exhaustion of a freezing blizzard.
