Duncan Keys/Abilities

Powers & Abilities
His takes a rather ominous appearance whenever he enters an area. It is somewhat similar in color to 's, and can cause just as much damage as one, when released. The shear force of it being released is strong enough to bring slightly weakened Captains to their knees, and enough to give a full power Captain a headache.

His movements are increased with the speed of his and his accuracy is through the roof. He can cut the wings off of a fly that is flying by him, with just the flick of his wrist. However, the amount of concentration used to pull of such a feat, is to great for him to actually use it in battle. He has also shown to be able to hold his own against two Captains by himself.

He believed that all of the flaws he possessed with his techniques could be fixed by adding in a little more speed. This forced him to literally increase the efficiency and attacking ratio of his fighting style. He became so proficient within the use of that he could easily dodge those attacking him when the gaps within his Bankai and Shikai became visible.

He has also increase the way he manipulates his tongue, increasing the speed in which he speaks, allowing him to speak long incantations rather quickly. His most practiced Incantation is the one used for, making him a master in it's usage.
 * : The practitioner generates around ten pink energy points and fires them all at the same focal point where the intended target resides. The culminating explosion is exceedingly devastating.

Enhanced Vision: To compliment his skills, Duncan has trained his eyes to track objects that move just as fast as he can. This ability is somewhat similar to using to enhance his eye movements, but he simply just focuses on the target to the point where he sees their movements in a frame by frame motion. It, much like his takes a lot of concentration to preform, and should usually be activated during the very beginning of the battle.

Enhanced Durability: When using his Shikai and Bankai, Duncan creates a lot of openings for people to attack. In order to survive a number of these attacks, Duncan had to train his body to the point where he can take several critical attacks without dying. He claims it to be a rather important attribute in fighting, because there is always somebody who can find an opening in your attack. However, he only increased his own durability because he knew the exact openings in each and every one of his techniques.

Keen Intellect: Even though Duncan is unable to use words that others would deem big, he has shown to have a vast amount of knowledge. However, he believes his position as Captain requires him to be smarter then his other members. He usually uses techniques he has been taught, he has learned on his own, or even ones he has created, to prove his intelligence. He has shown the ability to see a technique once, and break it down into basic steps only by viewing it. However, that is only one of the mental feats he can pull off using his mind.

Since both of his Shikai and Bankai are limited to a number of abilities, he devises ways to utilize those abilities for both offensive and defensive purposes. This could put him under the category of combat specialist, but his intellect is not only just limited to knowledge used within fighting. He has proved to be both book smart and street smart (being his wife is a teacher and his son is a teenager). Compared to the other Captains in the he uses past knowledge and information gathered to influence the decisions he makes.

Master In The Art of Assassination: Instead of using the basic fighting style, Duncan uses a form of fighting with more precise attacks. It is similar to how works (the combination of Kidō and Hakuda), but combines the sharp strikes of  with. The techniques can be performed with either a weapon or empty handed. However, it does sacrifice some principals of that make it a rather complex fighting style. It can be used from all three ranges (close, mid, and long), but the farther one gets away from the target, the harder it becomes to deal a fatal blow.
