Rikugun

Rikugon
"Fallen soldiers, I solute you!"

Rikugun (lit. army) in its sealed state is a japanese broad sword. It has a circular bronze hand guard and a red hande.

Shikai
Rikugun has a unique shikai because its form changes from a sword to a piece of clothing. In shikai rikugan becomes a beret. It is navy blue with a dark blue lace. It is in the style of the modern day american militaty beret.

Shikai abilities
Rikugun's ability is that it is able to solidify reishi underground and implant the persona and knowledge of the person it is making. For example, the zombie made by Kangotsu will have the knowledge and expertise of a World War Two medic. These zombies can speak and understand all human language that the user knows. The toll for using these zombies is that the zombies are human and expearience fatigue, shock, as well as valor and courage. The user only uses up spiritual energy when solidifying reishi. Then he is constantly drained of spiritual energy while sustaining the zombie. The user is able to see through the zombies eyes. However when the zombie is destroyed it con only be recreated within 5 meters of the user. The beret is necessary as the medium of the creation. (The zombies arent like, zombie zombies theyre just missing a few bits of flesh and sometimes an eyeball or ear of something.) The realese phrase for this zanpakuto is "Rikugun, I salute you!"
