Ryan Ryodoji

"'To kill is merely nothing more than murdering a rival warrior.' -Ryan speaking to a dead Ulysses Cifer. (Espada 4)"

Ryan Ryodoji
Ryan Ryodoji-(ライアン亮童子/The Dark Dragon Hall Temple's King) is the middle sibling of the remaining 3 Ryodojis. He is also the new lieutenant of the 5th Division with his older brother, Riley, as the 3rd seat and his younger sister, Jade, as the captain after Shinji Hirako, the former captain, left in search of other Visoreds and Momo Hinamori rejected the position.

Appearance
As a child Ryan wore sleeveless black robe. He was trained by the Sinners growing up and he gained his masculine a built body by training and working out so much.

When coming out of The Gates of Hell, he appears as a preteen with a black bandage across his head, and white-ish tan-ish bandages wrapped around his neck.

Ryan is 6'1' and is very built yet not very intelligent. He has light tan skin and black hair. He wears a sleeveless shihakusho and is not fastened to his obi, so it is supported as a vest. Tied onto his obi is his lieutenant badge that hangs low under his waist. He has pants that are much like his sister's and has loose pockets. Instead of the casual socks, he has athletic black, white and pink socks from the World of the Living. He, Riley and Jade have somewhere on their bodies. In the World of

the Living, he wore many outfits including a black tank top with gray ripped jeans and 3 chains on his belt, and a black and white flannel opened collar shirt with a black under shirt and khaki jeans with very expensive shoes. He often wears a pair of aviators and is often teased by Shuhei Hisagi, Rangiku Matsumoto, Kenpachi Zaraki, Kisuke Urahara, and Yoruichi Shihoin because he never takes them off. He has dark brown hair with white highlights and sports a kenseikan on the back of his head. Later after Aizen's final defeat, he has longer hair. His lieutenant badge his sewed to the back of his shihakusho and wears a chained necklace with a dragon wrapped around a cross onto it.

Personality
Ryan is a very short-tempered man that is fun-loving, built, unintelligent, and has a habit of always making people laugh too hard. He often picks fights and has to have his sister step in to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid like accidentally killing the person he's fighting.

He often curses when he speaks and never uses Japanese formalities to superiors or just in general. He has a chemistry with Rangiku Matsumoto, and whenever she goes out for drinks with him, he purposely brings her to the Manor in the Soul Society and/or the Mansion in the World of the Living, just to sometimes have an affair with her. He loves to drink sake, or any alcohol,and eat; he also shares an agreement with Orihime and Rangiku on eating large amounts of strange foods.

He likes to listen to modern rap music and hates it when Jade purposely plays a modern country song, even though he sings along to them. He is an amazing singer and dancer along with his sister and brother, Jade and Riley. Ryan loves to stay outdoors and run, work out, or any physical interaction. He almost always never stays inside to play video games with Riley and Jade. In the Soul Society, he has Riley do his paperwork and shares an office with him, and he hides alcohol inside of he and his brother's desk whenever a friend comes over he offers them a drink. He also has a habit of smoking.

He likes to eat dried persimmons with Rangiku, and he likes to enjoy barbecued ribs and spicy food, however not in the morning. He often spends his time in the Soul Society by going to Squad 11's barracks and duels with Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, Ikkaku Madarame, or Yumichika Ayesegawa. He loves to fight, and prefers to be in Squad 11 but taking a position of a lieutenant was extremely tempting. Besides the fact that he loves to fight, he has a high Kido level but is never considered a weakling by Squad 11 because of his excellent fighting skills and strength. Like Rangiku, he likes to go around and invite free people and offers them to drink with him.

History
As a child, Ryan's family was murdered but his two siblings, Jade and Riley, escaped and were separated. He was killed but he was condemned to Hell for killing 80 Soul Reapers. In Hell he met a man with white hair and black bandages covering most of his face, that man's name was Kokuto. When he first met Kokuto by the entrance of Hell, Ryan explained why he wasn't stabbed. He says that the Kushanada was weak and he dodged the blade, and then stabbed the beast with his knife that his father gave him a week before the execution. Ryan walked with the man and passed through the gates peacefully. After they met, Ryan trained everyday to get stronger. He took a vow never to kill a Soul Reaper again. He loved Kokuto like a father.

Until one day, Kokuto and Ryan were attacked in their sleep by Shuren. Kokuto protected him, besides the fact that sinners come back to life if they get killed. Even because of that reason, Kokuto was afraid that Ryan will come back evil. Kokuto's actions led to him being hurt and breaking Ryan's chains. For that, Ryan ran out The Gates of Hell just as Kokuto told him to in case this kind of situation happened. Ryan for the last time cried in agony to see his friend be bound away by Shuren and vowed to kill Shuren one day to protect Kokuto's honor from fading away.

After Ryan escaped he was up in the sky walking across the atmosphere in search of spiritual pressure anywhere within Karakura Town. The next day, News Groups and citizens flocked around him in the middle of the street. Among the people around him, they whispered wondering if he was okay, and the News Reporters state that a preteen-age boy lay unconscious in the middle of the street. Suddenly, Kisuke Urahara walks up to Ryan and tells the Reporters that he knows him and walks away carrying the young boy away from the crowds. The next morning, Ryan wakes up inside of the Urahara Shop with Tessai Tsukabishi treating his fairly severe wounds. As Ryan tells Tessai that he's fine, Yoruichi and Jade walk into the room. Jade bursting into tears runs up and tackles him with a giant hug and repeatedly says that she thought that he dead and slaps him for not telling Tessai to stop like a man. Grinning, Yoruichi says to Kisuke that this is what a family reunion feels like. Ryan calmly replies that if Jade has found any of the others alive. Hesitantly, Jade says no and Ryan grows a depressed look on his face.

One month of training later on, the duo of siblings have grown extremely powerful and strong. Later that night, they slipped away leaving a note on the front door saying, "Thank you for training us Yoruichi and Kisuke. We appreciate what you all have done for us and would like to pay you back some day. We left in search of any of our family members, and we hope that he will come back successful. -Ryan & Jade." Ryan and Jade flew across the sky and came across strange spirit energy and a blue and white gigantic gate came across their path. Jade stated that she sensed a Quincy's reitsu and opened the gate. Ryan ran after her and felt it as well. They walked on a reishi built path over glass covered landscape. The spectical of a giant blue and white palace came across their site. Staring in awe, the siblings ran up to the entrance. The doors opened into a grand hall filled with various colors of blue and mostly white. A grand staircase led up to a balcony above the view of the entrance. They saw a tall man walk out; he had long shoulder-length brown hair, a trimmed brown mustache, and a black cloak draped over a Quincy's casual attire. The man sensed Quincy reitsu within them and offered them training. They refused until they felt it themselves. They accepted the offer and trained with him.

Later on as Ryan grew taller, Jade only grew an inch or two. About three years later, the siblings were touring the palace and came a across a guy who was about 6'9' and had short black hair with a white linen jacket with blue decoration. He looked much like Ryan and had very sharp canines that barely hanged over his bottom lip, and held glasses in his hand. The man introduces himself commenting, "I am Riley Ryodoji, the last of my family." Ryan walking up to him, jumped up and tackled him down to the lily-white marble floor. Screaming out to the man Ryan exclaims, "How the hell do you not recognize us?! You bastard, we're your younger siblings dumb-ass!" In a moment of shock Riley slowly sits up and realizes that is is his siblings and hugs them until they screamed to let go. The man that trained Ryan and Jade was named Yhwach, as was often referred to as "The Quincy King." Yhwach said thank you for coming to magnificent palace and hopes that him a Riley can duel once more but not a full battle. Ryan only mentions these stories and never with full detail and leaves out some important facts too, unlike his siblings as they say everything vivid and clearly.

Training Arc
The first time Ryan met Ichigo was when he ran into Yasutora "Chad" Sado and Uryu Ishida and Ichigo both pick on him. Ryan had to use force and knocked out Uryu and Ichigo with one single hit. He said he didn't want to hurt Chad, so he told him to take care of his friends, then walked away. Uryu woke up immediately and attempted to shoot Ryan's back with a Quincy Arrow. Ryan dodged and grabbed the arrow and scratched the left side of Uryu's face and told them to do themselves a favor and not die by one fatal punch.

The next day, Ryan coincidentally bumped into Orihime Inoue. He said that she was familiar and asked if she was one of Ichigo's friends. She replied with a faint agreement in hesitation. She quickly said that she had to go and ran away from Ryan. Later that night, he met up with Ichigo and questioned of how he lost his powers. Ichigo, frustrated and angry, said that it was none of Ryan's business and tried to walk away. Ryan grabbed a hold of his right wrist and offered him training with him and his siblings. Ichigo gave him a confused look as Ryan gave him his phone number. Ryan said to give him a call when he's ready. After about three days, on a clear night during midnight, Ichigo was walking and looked at the card repeatedly and finally called him. Ryan asked why did he call him, Ichigo replied saying that he wants Fullbring and his Hell powers back since Ryan has mastered them quickly. Ryan said that he couldn't turn him away and told him to meet at his house the next night. In the morning, he accidentally pushes Keigo Asano by having Keigo run into his chest. Keigo, frightened and nervous, shivered as Reiichi Oshima walks up to Ryan asking in a mocking voice if he was too stupid to see a person in the middle of the hallway. Ryan scowls at him ready to through a punch when his younger sister, Jade, kicks Oshima's face and makes him pass out by changing her eye color. Ryan and her argue about who should've hit him when Rangiku Matsumoto, Renji Abarai, Rukia Kuchiki, Shuhei Hisagi, Izuru Kira, Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayesegawa, and Toshiro Hitsugaya realize that they were Ryodojis and whispered among themselves of how they were still alive and why. As Toshiro thought Jade was dead, she hugged him then Ryan said, "Cut with the sensitive, sentimental crap! Damn, how boring can you short-ass dip-shits be?" Toshiro and Jade grow angry at him, while Ichigo came in late screaming why Ryan and Jade were in his class. Ryan getting mad at him tried to throw a punch while Jade punches him instead.

He sits on the ground looking up and looks at her eyes and whispers "Sai" to himself. Sai being Jade's inner zanpakuto hollow, he can still take over her. As she fights Ichigo, Ryan gets up to call Riley. Orihime tried to protect Ichigo but Jade easily broke through it. Just as she wonder what Jade was Uryu stepped in and tried to spawn his Quincy bow. To Sai's delight he used the Quincy part of "Ryu" Jade's zanpakuto, and she shot "Blut Vene" at Uryu and made a Quincy's symbol on his chest. As Sai makes a decision to kill everyone there, Ryan uses Bakudo No. 99 "Restrict" to keep her still as Riley and him can release their zanpakutos, "Takeshi no Gestuga" and "Tora Osamu," meaning "Fierce Heaven-Piercing Warrior" and "Tiger King/Ruler", and quickly flashed on their hollow masks. Ryan's zanpakuto forms into a brass-knuckle with his name printed on it. The knuckle can grow three claw like figures on his hand. And his Tanto, a knife-like zanpakuto, forms into a kunai with a 7 inch blade and three chains on the bottom of the hilt. One of the chains is broken with only two items on the ends of each chain. The others have a crescent blade and a fang-like blade. He strikes his own sister just to knock her out, and the hit causes her to fly into the Senkeimon, which Riley had recently opened to have her regain power by absorbing reishi in the Soul Society. As her mask that Sai grew onto her face has broken when Riley stabbed her with "Tora Osamu." And Ryan's Shikai cut off part of her Captain's Haori and shihakusho. Ryan laid her on his shoulder as he sealed away "Takeshi no Gestuga" and had Riley treat Uryu and Ichigo's wounds. Riley took both of them to the Soul Society and told everyone that witnessed the massacre, especially Rangiku and Toshiro, to come back when they feel like they need to see them. Ryan shouted at his brother to hurry up or he'll die in a ditch, Riley followed after him and closed the senkeimon.

Riley and Ryan ran through the seireitei and came to the Squad 4 barracks. They lay all of them in medical beds and Jade in an isolated room, because her wounds were more severe. Lieutenant Isane Kyokostu and Captain Shinta Mizuki had to treat Jade. Toshiro and his advance unit came to see her. Orihime Inoue, Yasutora "Chad" Sado, Keigo Asano, Tatsuki Arisawa, Muizuro Kojima, and Rukia Kuchiki came to see Ichigo and Uryu. Toshiro asked to see Jade alone and had Ryan close the door.

About five hours later, Ryan comes into Jade's medical room and sees Toshiro asleep next to her bed. He had Shuhei retrieve the tired captain and sent him to the Manor. Ryan carries Jade along and guides Shuhei. He lays his younger sister on her bed and puts Toshiro on a couch near her bed. Ryan takes a walk at night and sees the bar still open. He also sees Rangiku walking in his direction as well, he offers her a drink and accidentally takes her home that night. He wakes up in a sweat in his bed and wonders what happened the night before. He sees Rangiku lay naked beside him said says, "Ohhh, so that's why I'm naked...and why I feel good...hmph, I totally forgot that I was completely wasted." He gets up and puts on his uniform. He looks at the clock and sees that he slept until 10 am and woke up Rangiku. They both took the short-cut to the lieutenants meeting. When entering, Lieutenant Tetsuzaemon Iba of Squad 7, tell Izuru and Shuhei that he knows why they got here so late and winks at them both.

Later that day, he sees Toshiro walking around with Jade, and walks up to them. He asks if she had fully recovered, she agreed with a nod and continued to walk. Ryan sees Momo Hinamori and Isane Kotetsu, He asks where his brother might be and waits for a response. Isane says that he hasn't come out of the Manor lately and said he still might be home. Ryan thanks the two and runs off. Seeing that the girls were right, he looks at the manor and sees repairmen. Ryan asking what this is for, Riley hesitates and calmly says that they were putting in outlets for Riley's gaming systems. He gives his brother a confused look and walks away. Later that night, he forgot about Ichigo's training and immediately ran to the Squad 4 barracks. Two guardsmen see the lieutenant on a chase and greet him, he doesn't stop to greet them and runs through the night. He runs into Uryu and Ichigo's Medical room and sees them both gone. He runs back to the mansion and his brother nor his sister aren't home.

He goes through the Senkeimon with a grant from Head Captain General Shunsui Kyoraku, he ran through and ran out the other side. Only to see the ground below him, he hesitantly fell down. "Damn," Ryan Exclaimed, "The Captain General needs to inform me that the senkeimon will open in the middle of the sky." Keigo Asano walks up to Ryan cautiously, "Hey...Aren't you the guy I ran into yesterday?" Ryan said yes and ran off.

He runs up to the mansion they own in the World of the Living and sees the lights ''on. '' He walks in and sees everyone there, Toshiro, Rangiku, Izuru, Shuhei, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Renji, Rukia, and, Jade and Riley. He sees Uryu and Ichigo too, and remembers his training with the orange-haired teenager. He tells Ichigo to come to the basement. Suddenly, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna and Riruka Dokugamine stand there. "About time Ichigo, I was about to leave." Yukio comments. "Ichigo, I'm only here because I saw a hot guy going towards your direction," Riruka cockily accommodates. Ryan, flattered, says that he's sorry and he's taken.

He tells Yukio to set up a space with "All Invaders Must Die," his fullbring. Yukio asks for manners and Ryan repeats himself with a polite-tone yet feels mad at the child. Yukio opens a space similar to the one that Ichigo trained inside of with Kugo Ginjo. Ryan tells Ichigo to focus his spiritual pressure on his Combat Pass. His pass lit up with the color of Getsuga Tensho and his right arm lit up with black getsuga around it and a spiral like figure appears on Ichigo's combat pass, much like the guard of his bankai. "There we go..." Ryan says, "Now we're talkin' Ichigo!" Ryan asks Ichigo if he should wear his mask. Ichigo replies, "Well, it would be boring if you didn't." "You sure you can handle me at full throttle? Especially since Jadey kicked your ass so badly." Jade appeared in front of him, slapped him and yell at him to stop calling her that. Awkwardly, Ichigo says yes, and continues to train with Ryan. Ryan attacks Ichigo with one swing from his Tanto, but luckily Ichigo dodged the short blade. Ichigo falls to the ground, thinking that Ryan did hit him. Sitting confused, Ryan yells at Ichigo to stand up and fight. Ryan continues to attack. Ichigo calls out Getsuga Tensho at Ryan. With a glare Ryan repeats the Getsuga Tensho but pure black. Overwhelmed by a huge Getsuga Tensho attack, Ichigo looks up at Ryan in front of him. Ryan effortlessly cuts him down. Laying on the ground Ichigo says he wont give up. He stands up and attacks Ryan. He dodges it but Ichigo keeps swinging and releases more attacks. Finally, Ryan gets cut He says that Ichigo finally pisses him off. Putting on his mask, Ryan laughs at Ichigo's incompetence. Frightened, Ichigo stares at his mask and gulps. He still attacks, even with Ryan's mask on. Again, Ryan slashes at Ichigo can takes off his mask. He effortlessly cuts down Ichigo and says that he needs motivation to do something. Yukio brings in Orihime, Ryan takes her and puts his blade to her neck. Orihime screaming in question, tries to escape Ryan's grasp but fails. Ichigo glows with reitsu and his next form appears. Grinning, Ryan thinks to himself that this is his second stage. Ichigo's next form appears. Hes wearing an outfit that is wrapped with his black getsuga and gold undergarments. Ryan attacks with his fullbring as well, "The Lunar Pack." He summons fifteen black wolves with blue fire whisping from their bodies. The wolves attack Ichigo without hesitation and one of them accidentally blinds Ichigo of site. Ichigo wounded, calls to Ryan and pushes himself up. His second form fades back to the first as Ryan glares at a wounded Ichigo. Ryan reverts back to his old Tanto and his fullbring fades away. Ichigo can't see Ryan at all, completely blind he actually manages to cut Ryan; but with little damage he strikes Ichigo down again and walks away. Mad and flared, Ichigo gets up and sees a white blur of Ryan's body figure. Red reitsu glows around Ichigo and his fullbring is complete. Ichigo remembers everything at training with Kugo Ginjo now. Ryan happily explains to Ichigo that his training went by extremely fast and it's only been three hours. Ichigo cheers as Ryan pats him on the back and the arena slowly floods back to Yukio's gaming system. Ryan tells him to get some rest and goes back up to his room a everyone else just conversates about how Ichigo's training. In the morning he wakes up to the smell of... well, breakfast. He sees Jade hovering over him as she rips of the sheets above him. He runs downstairs before Jade could summon her zanpakuto, Ryu. He pulls up to the dining room and sees everyone from last night had stayed. In the kitchen he sees his older brother Riley making breakfast. He eats rapidly and races Ichigo outside. Wondering what they are doing outside, Ichigo looks up at Ryan as he airwalks across the sky and Yukio's fullbring surrounds him. The setting appears like a volcanic arena, Hell. Ichigo's flashback of Kokuto and Shuren with Yuzu in Hell. Ichigo blurts out Kokuto's name and gets Ryan startled. Ryan angry of how Ichigo know's that name, attacks Ichigo unarmed with no hesitation. Ryan screams out how Ichigo knows Kokuto's name. Ichigo explains his quest to save Yuzu a while back. Ryan sheds a tear and grumbles, "Why. Why Ichigo..." Ichigo, ashamed looks down and tried to apologize. Ryan ignores him and walks out of Yukio's block. Ryan jumps down from the sky and walks back into the house. Everyone runs up to Ryan asking where Ichigo is and why it was too fast. Ryan explains and walks to his room and locks the door.

Several Days Later...
Ryan hasn't cried in years. He just lays crunched up on his bed flooding with tears. Jade finally breaks in knocking down the door. Ryan looks up with tears falling down his flawless face. Jade looks angry but hugs Ryan. He cries more and whimpers why Ichigo killed Kokuto. Jade explains that Kokuto was turned evil when he was reborn in hell. Ryan finally stops crying and speaks clearly,but lets the rest of his tears shed down his face. He says that he understands. He wearily walks down the stairs with everyone downstairs waiting on him. He apologizes to everyone that he had to stop Ichigo's training for 3 days. Jade leads him outside and shows him the game cube still in the sky. Ryan pounces into the arena and continues with Ichigo. Ichigo tries to apologize but Ryan says that he is the one to apologize. He does so and preps Ichigo for a round of their sparring.

Ryan tell Ichigo to absorb the energy around him to form the armor. Ichigo tries but fails. Ryan helps for hours and hours. About a day passed now. Ichigo still hasn't formed the armor on him."Oh my god.. Damn, Ichigo. Here..instead of making you do it.. I think that I could actually show you." Ryan said with a face-palm. "Yeah! That MIGHT ACTUALLY work!" Ichigo states sarcastically. Ryan chuckles and straightens his posture. He closes his eyes and breathes deeply. A golden aura glows around his body and the golden surfaced armor appears on his body. The armor is soaked into a black layer placed on his torso and waist. Ryan's head is wrapped in black bandages. His neck is loosely wrapped in beige bandages that lightly swoop over his chest. Ichigo's eyes widened to a hell formed Ryan. Ryan grins cockily as Ichigo's jaw drops. Ichigo states that he doesn't look like a Hell Force Soldier, a Soul Reaper merged with Hell-like powers to fight against sinners. Ryan explains that since he was a sinner born with this power he has the ability to shift from each form. Ichigo understands and repeats Ryan's behavior of summoning the armor.

Ichigo succeeds at summoning his armor. Ryan smiles at his accomplishment and snaps his fingers to bait large hollows. Ryan makes a kido barrier to block his from Ichigo's attacks. Ryan signals Ichigo to fight the hollows. Ichigo nods and says that it's just like old times with just him and Rukia. Ichigo uses normal strikes to wipe out large amounts of the hollows. Ichigo is barely out of breath and still defeats all of the hollows with little effort. Ryan puts down his barrier and congratulates Ichigo that 2 forms of training are complete. Ichigo cheers and thanks Ryan. Ryan smiles, laughs then punches his way through the arena to get out. Ichigo signals his armor and it fades away with a golden flash of light.

Ryan walks into the mansion presenting Ichigo, "Presenting, Ichigo Kurosaki! Fullbringer and Hell Warrior!" Everyone cheers and pats booth of them on the back. (CONTINUED SOON)

Combat Skills
Ryan is a very capable fighter, even by Lieutenant standards. Having been training all of his childhood and Shinigami career, he carries a deep knowledge of most forms of Shinigami combat. His most recognized talents are his skill in Zanjutsu, the Shinigami art of sword fighting; Kendo and Shunpo, which is high speed movement. Speed and strength are key to him when in a battle, as he is regarded as the fastest Lieutenant in the Gotei 13 and therefore, uses it to his advantage constantly. In comparison to most other Lieutenants, Ryan has a great amount of Spiritual Pressure within him. By the time he became the Lieutenant of the 5th Division, he was considered to be one of the strongest of Shinigami who wasn't at Captain rank or level, and as such, a very potent fighter. When it comes to a fight, he blends his smarts with his combat skill. Never one to rush head on into a fight, Ryan always watches, always listens, and never turns his attention away from his opponent. He can also be fairly arrogant when he starts to gain the upper hand against a foe, but for the most part, he remains level headed.

Zanjutsu Master
Swordsmanship Expert: Ryan demonstrated highly proficient skill in swordsmanship, enough to fight most of the battles with only a single hand and with well-timed maneuver. His time spent training with his father, Jody, allowed him to acquire basic knowledge of how to wield a sword like a professional, and he demonstrated a great amount of skill with it. By the time he entered the Shinō Academy after he was re-welcomed into the Soul Society, he was outclassing each and every one of the other students when practicing in Zanjutsu. It was this skill that garnered him much respect among his subordinates and his Captain when he obtained the rank of Lieutenant. Similar to most experts of Zanjutsu, Ryan utilizes a form of fighting resembling Kendo. He grips his massive sword with great force, and puts effort and power into each and every one of his strikes. Ryan is extremely proficient with Kendo; a sword fighting style, having an uncanny talent for delivering all of its basic and advanced techniques with expert precision. It is considered his primary form of sword fighting, as it is easy to access and it allows Ryan to go all out in a battle when he desires to. It is primarily a two-handed art that centers around testing the opponent's spirit and resolve, as well as bringing discipline to the wielder on the art of using the katana. It consists mostly of strikes and thrusts, at least, when it comes to the more modern styles like what Ryan uses, in contrast to more stance based techniques traditional Kendo style. Using both of his hands on his Tantō grip, Ryan can swing in very powerful and destructive motions when he chooses, sometimes capable of disrupting the immediate atmosphere around himself and his opponent when augmenting these swings with his mighty wind based powers. Striking with intense precision and power, Ryan is a deadly opponent when using Kendo. Ryan's swordsmanship along with his strength and spiritual pressure allows him to redirect incoming energy attacks, such as Kido or even other Zanpakuto abilities, away from him, as well as shield himself from them. Ryan has a tendency to "go loose" when fighting a powerful foe, often resorting to flashy, stylish attacks that often don't resemble a form of sword fighting at all.

Shunpo i.e. Flash Step
Shunpo Professional: Ryan is masterful in the art of Flash Steps beyond an average Lieutenant's level. Ryan's speed has made him a legend in the eyes of his division and even the entirety of the Gotei 13. Along with his peak physical conditioning, he is extensively skilled in the Shinigami art of high-speed movement, with some saying that he could even rival the 2nd Division Captain, Sui-Feng. His standard movements, as mentioned above, allow him to lay several well placed and powerful strikes upon his targets within just a few seconds and avoid fast attacks in return. Moving as if he were a burst of wind in a mighty storm, he is capable of outclassing an entire enemy squad in terms of movement and mobility, infiltrating and blowing through their lines with such profound speeds, they would swear that he was nigh invisible. His Hohō skills, such as Flash Step, are even more impressive, with each Flash Step capable of causing disorientation in his foes. He can also create clones of himself using Flash Step. When Shiro releases Shikai, his speed increases even more. Ryan is capable of utilizing Sogyo no Kotowari of Jushiro Ukitake's move manipulation to his advantage when moving. Picking up the attack currents around him, he can move with such speeds that it is almost impossible to even see him. One of his favored manners of utilizing Flash Steps is charging his opponents head on, and then quickly Flash Stepping behind them. He does this with such great speed that an after-image of his charging form remains while the real Ryan appears behind them to attack.
 * Hyper Time-Compression: Ryan has an unkown ability only used three times but if extremely powerful. Hyper Time-Compression is the ability to slow down time to one's advantage while increasing Ryan's speed making it appear as if he is faster than everyone else. This allows Ryan to use time at his advantage; the ability can only be used once every month, being long-limited.

Hakuda
Professional Hakuda Master: Ryan's wild personality adds to his abilities. His past of training everyday are still present as he often goes to dojos and gets into plenty of fights with humans and his adjutants. His precision is flawless when is is in hand-to-hand combat situations. Ryan is often called down to the Squad 11 barracks to duel with Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Kenpachi. When stressed or needs to think, Ryan uses a punching bag to calm him or in the World of the Living, he picks around on Keigo Asano. As a child Ryan fought to protect Jade as they ran with Riley from coast to coast. The only weapon in his past was his small zanpakuto and a dagger his father gave him, so he often resorted to fighting bare-handed. Ryan hardly ever fought with his blade until present-day battles came up. Against hollows, Ryan just stabs their masks without hesitation but kicks the lifeless spiritual body over to make sure its dead. In present-day Ryan still trains every day. He works out in both worlds to get stronger and his training with Ichigo made his abilities stronger as well.

Reijutsu
Kido Master: Even with his full-combat actions, Ryan has a high level of kido. He can reach up to level 70 spells without incantations. Being trained by Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihoin, Yhwach, and Kokuto his spiritual abilities are expected to be extremely high. The 11th Division does have a rule that kido-users are weak however, being an all-powerful man, Ryan is respected yet feared by many officers in that squad. His spells are often complemented by, Byakuya & Rukia Kuchiki, Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihoin, Sui-Feng, Marechiyo Omaeda, Izuru Kira, Tessai Tsukabishi, and Hachigen Ushoda. When re-entering the Shino Accedemy, Ryan's age was yet still young and he passed many tests of combat and kido just not actual intellectual types of challenges.

Zanpakutō
Takeshi: Takeshi being his zanpakuto, is a very strange sword. It takes the shape of a hunting knife with a black-cloth-wrapped hilt and a normal, plain black guard with two grey crescents lined with dark-blue and light-green. When is spirit form, Takeshi appears as a black wolf with silver eyes and sharp claws. When manifested, he appears as a guy in his late teens with light-brown hair and the same silver eyes the glare towards the moon-shed light.

Shikai
Takeshi no Getsuga: When released, the short blade transforms into two black-silver knuckles imprinted with Ryan's name on both. On each stub appears to be a small and thin piece of zanpakuto on the letters; these extend out to appear as three blades that are each a foot long on his hands. It also splits into a kunai with a long chain on the bottom of its hilt attached to a spiral-crescent-like blade that can retract back towards the bottom of the grip.
 * Shikai Special Ability: 
 * Takeshi no Getsuga can release a Yugure Getsuga Tensho, a completely black getsuga attack. It's much like Ichigo Kurosaki's normal getsuga attack yet pitch black and more powerful. The force is able to stop the witness's train of thought and stop the time around them. However, the only one's that are not affected by this move is Ichigo Kurosaki, and Ryan's two siblings.
 * It also is an element-type for fire. It is currently the strongest fire-type zanpakuto in the Soul Society.
 * Wairudofaia: (Wildfire)- This technique allows Ryan to blow a path of hurling flames at a direct target. It takes the shape of the chained whip with the crescent-bladed kunai. Flames wrap around the chain and when thrown the flames hurl at a motion at whichever direction Ryan's hand moves at.
 * Hatsuen-dan: (Smoke Bomb)- This is a battle method that is used for defence and shielding. This forms as a huge swarm of ash and smoke that can shape into a variety of forms.
 * Urufu no Kunrin Tsume: (Wolf's Reigning Claws)- This is used when Ryan's normal Shikai is released and it forms as six huge claw like figure in front of his shikai state as if the sky had long blue claws onto his finger tips. It's body looks much like Desgarron....
