Wataru Hiunkirite

Wataru Hiunkirite (悲運切り手=渉る, "Hiunkirite Wataru") is the main antagonist of Part V of Bleach: Rising Phoenix. He is Gai's fated rival, and an important figure in his past. Hailing from the future, Wataru is the immortal guardian of the three spiritual realms. Therefore, he pursues Gai and anyone who gets in his way, seeking to carry out an all-out war against all who tamper with laws of the universe.

Appearance
Wataru's physical appearance is based on Gackt, who is one of the most famous Japanese pop/rock idols. Notably, Wataru and Mitsuru are the only two characters in Rising Phoenix to have their appearances based off real-life celebrities, both based off certain J-Pop artists. Wataru is a tall and slender man with light bronze skin and magenta within blue eyes. He also has long straight brown hair adorned with feathers and tribal beads, and wears a long, purple bandanna. He wears form-fitting black and purple armour with dark boots lined with white fur.

Zanpakutō
Shikai Special Abilities: Wataru's blade has the power over the Samsara (生死, Seishi, "Cycle of Death and Rebirth"). With this power, Wataru is able to constantly generate life energy. By impaling someone with his blade, he can either rejuvenate their injuries with the life energy he generates, or he can assimilate their life force, replenishing his own strength while heavily wounding his target at the same time. In addition, he can take care of anything perceived as "hostile" to him by reversing the flow of the life energy he generates, creating death energy that erodes anything it touches, seeking out anything of considerable strength that could pose a threat to his loved ones; this death energy aims to "reap" the souls of his opponents; cleansing them and purifying them, destroying all ill intent they have towards him.
