Alrighty, this is what I've come up with so far, hope you like it. I've left plenty of room in its power so you can create as many new techniques as you might please.


 * Shikai Special Ability: The power of Tsukimegami Gaitōyami lies in the power of resistance. It is defined as the counter-force capable of opposing all other forces. In truth, its power is an absolute one which focuses on the total and complete resisting of an opponent's force. Much as a woman is typically depicted as a being of many complex layers which are difficult to unravel, Tsukimegami Gaitōyami expresses its power in the same way. The Zanpakutō typically manifests this power initially upon its release by enacting a triple-layered field around its master (and subsequently herself) which has specifically tailored abilities. The first layer, which is the outer layer, attempts to act as a viscosity-like barrier which slows down everything that approaches it, regardless of its composition. Whether it be material, such as an opponent(s) advancing forward, a weapon getting closer inwards, or even some sort of attack, among other things, they lose all possible momentum the longer they remain within this barrier's range, slowing down their approach and effectively reducing whatever possible force they would normally have. This is often mistaken for the power to slow down time. The second middle layer is a barrier of dissipation. Anything that dares to approach its range is remorselessly ripped apart down to the smallest level possible. Material substances can be reduced down to the reishi composite level while attacks fueled by pure force can be reduced to nearly nothingness, rendering them moot and nonexistent. In short, almost anything within the range of the middle layer can be completely broken down, albeit more resolute and stronger things are only hindered to some degree. The third innermost layer serves as a precautionary barrier in the possibility that the middle layer fails to succeed in its goal to resist the opposition. Quite literally, it is a reverberation of all force that attempts to penetrate it, causing whatever manages to enter the innermost barrier to "bounce off", regardless of how strong it may possibly be. The range of these barriers appear to respectively differ, but the entire three-layer force field is only about 10 meters from the Zanpakutō's position at the centre. When spiritual techniques, such as those reminiscent to Getsuga Tenshō, attempt to penetrate this triple-layered force field, regardless of their density, strength, and speed, usually fail to even penetrate the first stronghold. Yue can actually alter the characteristics of the three individual layers upon his whim, adding new properties which can bolster their restrictive capabilities. However, doing so requires Yue to maintain far greater focus in direct proportion.


 * However, this is but the start of Tsukimegami Gaitōyami. Beyond this barrier which is set up at the moment the Shikai is released, the power of resistance can be expressed in various techniques which allows Yue to manipulate the three layered barrier to suit his combat needs, allowing him to use the triple-layered force field in almost any possible manner that he or his Zanpakutō can conceive of; the names of which all end with "shōgai" (障害, "Barrier").


 * Utsushōgai (打つ障害, "Lash Out Barrier"): Simply put, this technique shapes the force field into various whips which snap at the opponent and each contain some degree of the individual layer properties. The whips themselves take on a phantom-like white energy appearance which find their original at the base of where Tsukimegami Gaitōyami's blade and guard meet, fanning outwards like that of branches. Viscosity, dissipation, and reverberation can be each imbued into these ghostly whips, or separately, allowing for various uses in accordance with Yue's whim.


 * Myakuhakushōgai (脈拍障害, "Pulsing Barrier"): Focusing upon the innermost layer of reverberation, it allows Yue to actually mimic the properties of neijing which is an accessible force utilized by those whom have mastered Hakuda. Vibrational wavelengths become usable by Yue for both offensive and defensive means. While he can form and generate them mentally, the swing of his blade in combat can also produce them, allowing him to produce large-scale and long-range waves of force with every slash of his sword, among many other possibilities.
