Inura Yamanosuke

Inura Yamanosuke (山之助 戌等, Yamanosuke Inura) is a Shinigami and a member of the current generation of the Muika.

Zanpakutō
Daitokumyō (大威徳明王, Conqueror of Death) is the name of Inura's zanpakutō. Unlike most zanpakutō, the entire sword is silhouetted, at all times; as a result, it has no definite appearence, always appearing with a strong, unholy aura around it. The blade, despite appearing to be made from shadows, can block a zanpakutō efficiently and break it upon contact. However, any attack aimed towards the blade will be "eaten" by the blade itself, increasing it's strength. The sheath is black with red prayer paper wrapped around it. There has been noted to be a devilish chill given off by the sword, causing even the most powerful of Shinigami to fear the blade, even when it's sealed. It's true appearance is unknown even to Inura.
 * Jinnō Shōtōki (神皇正統記, Chronicles of the Authentic Lineages of the Divine Emperors): This allows him to manipulate shadows in the form of tentacles which slitter on the ground to posses living creatures in his surroundings. When these shadows have reached the target, Inura gains total control of the opponent. The more "tentacles" he creates or the farther he goes, the less is the effect. Persons with an exceptionally strong will or massive amounts of reiatsu can negate this technique, but still at the cost of much energy. the shadow's form can be manipulated to wrap around the sword, causing extremely aggravated damage with a single stroke or even fatal cuts with a simple flick of the sword or even be fired in energy bursts which have the potential to cause serious harm to the opponent.
 * Shikai: Released by the command, "Pray" (呪う, norō); Daitokumyō's appearance does not change dramatically, but the release is accompanied with an enormous outward pressure, creating a sort of explosion with Byakkō in the epicenter, pushing anything and anyone away from him. The outburst of reiatsu that accompanies the release can even be felt across the different worlds, as shown when Yeoshin, who was in the Soul Society at the time, noticed Daitokumyō's release in the Human World.


 * Shikai Special Ability: Daitukumyō's Shikai has the ability to project mental images into the minds of his opponents, which are far more powerful then normal ones. These images are flawless and practically indistinguishable from reality, causing the opponent to generally not notice when the illusions have started or ended. As an example, during Inura's defection, he was able to let the 6th Division captain believe that he was facing numerous clones of Inura, allowing the real Inura to stab him in the back. A second, more uncommon use of Daitokumyō's powers is to "shift" Inura's mind to another body. While in this body, he cannot use any of his normal powers, and the real Inura is left in a comatose state. When the body is killed or whenever Inura wants to, his mind returns to his normal body, regaining his powers. This ability can only be performed with dead bodies, and the used body falls apart in ashes after it's usage. His sword does not only focus on mental images, but it focuses on any type of image itself.
 * Mikotai Fudōmyō (尊体不動明王, the image of the immovable); A technique that allows Inura to separate his mind and body. He has shown different uses of this technique. By "moving" his mind to a specific location, ie. thinking about a place, he can force his body to follow, granting him a form of teleportation which is outclassed by almost no one. He can even affect and deny reality itself with his mind, and can deny any attack that is landed at him by simply thinking that he's not wounded. However, Inura can only affect himself, as his mind alone cannot wield a sword or affect the surroundings. Nevertheless, this technique makes Inura almost invincible. True to it's name, the technique can make Inura "immovable", being able to stand up and let through any attack as long as he thinks abut himself as unharmed and intangible.
