Zancrow Kyuketsuki

"Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, that way I can have a goal and have a reason why I was born with this power. Once you believe in yourself, I will know that I have succeeded in my goal therefore making me stronger. You must then say this to someone else, so eventually my name will be spread through the world. You may not understand what I am talking to you about, but when you are strong you must remember me because later on in your life you will meet me again."

- Zancrow to a young Neru Sizaeon

Zancrow Kyuketsuki (斬カラスファントムハイヴ, Kyuketsuki Zancrow) is the Captain of Squad 11 of The 13 Demon Guards, and former leader of Shadow Wolves. He is in the Sizaeon Clan and is one of the most experienced members of the clan. Although he is not actually related to Gunner Sizaeon, they consider him as a brother to them. He was Neru's rolemodel and he saved Neru, therefore inspiring Neru to become stronger. Zancrow just wanders about as he has nothing to do, occasionally he does a favour for someone or he completes a task so he can get some money. He has trained the Shadow Wolf Squad well so that Neru could have it easy on commanding the squad. Zancrow left the Shadow Wolf Squad due to unknown reasons but many believe that he was showing respect towards Neru, so that Neru could gain some power. Zancrow has more potential then Gunner, therefore making him stronger than Gunner in theory, but due to him being lazy he doesn't pursue for more strength.

Prior to joining the Sizaeon Clan he was a strong shinigami who had no goal or anything to do, he always got drunk and was silly. It was until he met Neru in a life or death situation where he got serious and saved him, then Neru introduced him to his family. Neru's family forced him to be there when they started up the clan, due to them being in his debt. He hasn't changed much except he is more responsible now.

In the beginning, Zancrow was a future strong shinigami, he graduated the Shino Academy with flying colours, he was top of his class. After graduation he was put into Eleventh Division, because of his determination he moved up to 3rd seat and was starting to get noticed by other divisions. He left his division because he had to attend to unknown business. He came into contact with Vizards, and he started sparring with them because of their enhanced power. After a few months he came back to Soul Society and was appointed Captain of Squad 11, after Kenpachi was gone. He came back during the invasion so that he could be of help to them, even then he was still at a very young age.

He is one of the main protagonists of Bleach (GunzOfWolfz) as the story follows him and his adventures and conflicts he faces in Soul Society and the Human World.

 Appearance

As a young boy Zancrow seemed to grow up quicker in his appearance then usual, he had blue eyes in his childhood but as he progressed through life his eyes gradually changed to a gold/yellow colour. He had shorter black hair but it was still a messy spiky style, his blue eyes were like the ocean described by observers, though he did not want that colour of eye as he described it as "Blue is a girl colour". He used to wear a long sleeved striped shirt; he rolled up the sleeves. He used to undo 2 buttons and have a red tie hanging lower than usual, he also wore two red fingerless gloves. He used to get in many fights with his sword. Gradually as he aged into his older teens his appearance changed even more, it was more matured and adult-like. His hair stayed the same completely but his eyes were a darker blue representing his slowly changing eye colour. He wore dark blue tight trousers and a v-neck green undershirt, he also wore a dark blue jacket with yellow stripes on each shoulder. He had red long gloves which were still fingerless, although his appearance changed in a way he kept some of his older features. This style brought out his muscular physique more, therefore charming other people more easily, helping him to manipulate people just using his appearance.

Zancrow's newest appearance is him standing at a average height of 6ft 0' and he weighs 72Kg. He has barely any fat on him it is mostly muscle, due to his major training with members of the Sizaeon Clan. He wears a uniform-like style, he has a very dark blue coat which has white outlines on parts of the coat. He wears it with his collar up which covers most of the cheeks of his face, for buttons he has arrows which are coloured white, which makes them stand out. He wears a white tight top with a white rose like tie, he wears black tight trousers with a blue ribbon wrapped around his right leg, which has a case tied to it, allowing him to hold some of Zancrow's equipment. He wears black boots. His hair is still the same size and colour but his eyes are now a gold/yellow colour, his hair is shaggy or can be described as messy. He is seen chewing a light brown twig-like object, he has white gloves. When Zancrow was a captain, he was quite small and still had a "Cute Face" as described by the captains when they saw him. Zancrow could not be taken seriously by the other captains by how he looked though his sheer power was what got his reputation up. Zancrow had a similar appearance to that of Byakuya Kuchiki when he was young. He had long jet black hair, he had a long ponytail which hangs down to his mid back section, he wears a scarf over his neck, which also covers his mouth. He had an emotionless face and had the natural captain uniform.

When Zancrow is in the human world he makes use of a gigai, he still keeps his facial features though his hairstyle is shorter and more stylish then messy. he wears different clothing, he wears a white top underneath his black jacket with the collar folded back. He wears a red tie which hangs halfway down his chest and he has three buttons undone. He also wears tight black jeans with white trainers. He has a sticker of a wing, which is his emblem of the Sizaeon Clan. Prior to Zancrow becoming the leader of Shadow Wolves his appearance was that of a young man in his young 20's, he wore a blue top which had 3 buttons undone, his hair was longer and spiky all around the hair. He still had the same colour eyes and he wore skinny black jeans, he looked like a human. This was his most charming look as it attracted most girls and women. He always appeared to be happy and he was always smiling towards everyone.

Personality
Zancrow has been described as a lazy but confident man and someone you can rely on by his comrades. He is smart and has a great sense of humour; especially when he is drunk. He believes in his own methods of doing things not abiding by any other methods, he is very laid back and only speaks words when he feels that he needs to. When people are in his presence they tend to find it hard to speak to him due to the way he gives off a natural presence, making them silent. Normally Zancrow is the one to start and finish a conversation, he is very hard to predict and tell his emotions due to him having a natural pokerface, he stands out in crowds and is very easy to notice and pick up on. Due to his nature of being loud but smart, he can deliberately throw his opponent off guard by shouting out random words. His mind is always working as described by Gunner, as when they first met within a few minutes Zancrow had picked up on how much a threat and how dangerous Gunner was. This is one of his traits, also whenever Zancrow is calm he can put this ability to use at its limit which allows him to detect how much spiritual energy, strength and how smart the person or opponent he is detecting is.

Zancrow takes no pride whatsoever in the clan, as he gets drunk and badmouths the clan when he gets drunk. Zancrow although he is smart, people describe him as too laid back because he decides he deserves a break, which gives him the mind set to start drinking. When he is drunk, he is near impossible to talk to and try and get him sober, he has only realised that he was drunk when he had to save Neru, because of his always acting mind he managed to detect Neru's spiritual energy, which caused him to become sober quickly. Zancrow never knew what family was as he cannot remember his childhood, this was the main reason why he joined the Sizaeon Clan, although he disrespects the clan sometimes, he repays them by contributing greatly to their needs. He rarely ever gets into arguments as when he senses one is about to start he just walks away from them.

Zancrow's lazy side can sometimes be very annoying, due to whenever someone tries to start a serious conversation with him, he ends up dozing off or just walking off due to the lack of interest or tiredness. Zancrow has also shown his lazy side in battle, by not putting hardly any effort into it at all. He has shown a compassionate side as he never finishes his opponent in battle, he just lets them run free as a warning to them. Zancrow can have a completely different personality in battle, but it is normally dormant, as Zancrow describes "It is my other being", he also says that it can only be activated by triggering a serious emotion or by continuing to wind him up. In this different personality he becomes relentless and starts to attack the enemy with no break, using lots of his power. In this form he becomes maniac and he shows no mercy whatsoever. After coming out of this other personality he ends up becoming tired due to the huge use of his abilities.

Zancrow has been shown to be fearless as he will take on unknown beings or monsters, without a doubt in his mind. Zancrow is very charming and kind towards the women, he flirts alot but ends up being dragged away by other members of the Sizaeon Clan before he says something disrespectful. Zancrow can change emotions on his face to manipulate women to his advantage, he often acts like an innocent man who deserves more in life, this shows his more selfish side. Zancrow is also very clumsy as when he is tired he ends up knocking stuff over and getting shouted at for it.

Zancrow can be relied on for many tough jobs, as he is looked up to not for his foolish personality but his heroic side of his personality, mostly he inspired Neru because of the way he acted. Zancrow can be serious when he knows his friends are in danger, to him he wants to keep them safe because he lost his family very early. Zancrow is considered one of the most caring in the clan because of how he values of being able to act like a big brother to Neru. Zancrow has also shown musical interest, when he is not lazy and not busy, he ends up playing his guitar, he usually does it to impress girls. Zancrow has even stated "If someone touched my guitar or interrupted me during my practice....I WOULD KILL THEM!". Zancrow is very serious about his guitar, as it takes his mind off of the current events. Zancrow definitely is someone who is fun, especially at party's, people love to talk to Zancrow when he is drunk because of the random stuff he says to make them laugh. Zancrow's zanpaktou has the complete same personality as he does, so therefore Zancrow can completely utilize his ability due to something they have in common.

Zancrow has many beliefs including one where he says "Vizards are the perfect shinigami". Zancrow says they are because they have proven that you can co-exist with a hollow, although he doesn't mean it literally many know what he is talking about. He despises quincies for unknown reasons, as whenever he gets near one he tends to make an excuse to get further away from them. He even outright said that if he saw a quincy in trouble he would just leave him there to die.

Zancrow has also shown his sarcastic side to people, he often uses it in battle to anger the enemy, changing their course of action. He often plays with his opponents while insulting them, normally to show off his power, Zancrow has developed a reputation for being annoying in battle.

History
Birth At birth his parents were killed in a massacre of the village, Zancrow was saved by a traveller. Zancrow was found crying inside a blanket hidden under sheets presumably to hide him from the people who annihilated the village. He only ever acknowledged the traveller for caring for him, whenever someone mentioned his parents he said "They weren't there for me so why should I acknowledge them".

While the traveller was caring for him he knew that eventually he would be hunted down for taking a boy in who was meant to be dead. By this time Zancrow was 6 and he was slowly learning how to use his zanpaktou but he was still a novice due to not being able to practice for long. The traveller was on his way to Rukongai, but he got attacked by the bandits, Zancrow was left there by himself outnumbered 5 against 1, because Zancrow had no one to raise him, his power went out of control due to his emotions then his bad personality came into play, he started mercilessly swinging at the bandits and hitting them. He ended up killing them, after this he ran to the traveller while he was still alive and the traveller gave off his final words. He gave all of his belongings to Zancrow. Zancrow lay there crying beside his body for days. On Zancrow's way he met Akira Redfinger who was just a little bit older than Zancrow, who knew how to control his zanpaktou. He became his friend who helped him to learn about his zanpaktou.

Growing Up
When Zancrow was growing up he became very independent because he was living by himself and working for money to pay for his living. He decided to enroll in the Shino Academy and he started to show his great power. He was passing all the tests with flying colours and he was anticipated by the instructors to be a future captain. He graduated from the Shino Academy in 1 year, he then became a member of the Eleventh Division and started regularly training at the 11th Division Barracks. The squad he joined was currently under the leadership of Captain Kenpachi, he decided this squad due to its fighting ability and what the squad members mind set was. He gradually rose up in the ranks of the division and became 3rd seat, many started to hear about how quickly he advanced in the ranks. Zancrow became a bit too cocky and decided to challenge Kenpachi as a sparring contest, obviously the word spread quickly throughout Seireitei and most of the captains found time to watch it. It was a huge battle but in the end Kenpachi came out victorious, many praised Zancrow for his ability to wound Kenpachi a lot.

He often wandered around Seireitei looking for anyone willing to spar with him as he constantly wanted to get stronger he normally sparred with Renji Abarai for his swordsmanship, Ikkaku Madarame for learning about spears which he didn't really need to know and then he went to Captain Shunsui to relax and eat. Many loved his determination to get stronger and beat Kenpachi in a match, especially Kenpachi since he loves to fight he was happy he found him. Zancrow often visited Aizen for learning Kido, he learnt quickly and pleased him. Zancrow randomnly left the Division and wasn't seen again, it is said that he had to go because he had to tend to something. Most of the Captains was quite disappointed because they were talking amongst themselves if they were going to make him a future captain.

Zancrow's Break From The Gotei 13
Zancrow then stated that he just wanted a break from all of the training and duties in the Gotei 13, he normally just wandered around. His personality had changed though from when he was training because now he was all relaxed and laid back. He often relaxed too much and went to party, he got drunk a lot and ended up feeling awful. It was one time when he met Neru Sizaeon in one of the worst situaitions, because he was coming home from a party and he was drunk, when he was coming down he noticed a stronger spiritual energy than usual so he walked over to it and noticed that a kid was on the floor and their was roughly 100 hollows. Zancrow immediately realised what was going on, he was still a bit shaky from getting drunk but he immediately drew his zanpaktou and destroyed them. He gave a heroic speech to Neru about believing and he inspired Neru, Zancrow realised he had to go back to the Gotei 13 so he could train even harder to show off to Neru. The Gotei 13 was then notified of what Zancrow had done but many Captains did not realise who he was due to their being completely different Captains. Since they were notified they immediately closed in on Zancrow and told him he has to come back to Seireitei, He agreed to go with them and they went back. Zancrow had to get used to the training schedule again.

Becoming A Captain
By now Zancrow was a bit older and more matured with his power, he set out for more power looking for Kenpachi again. Though he was eventually told that most of the people he trained with have left, Zancrow was now still upset. He always wanted to beat Kenpachi in an duel, Zancrow was asked to why he left and he just gave them excuses. They eventually gave up on finding out why Zancrow left and they got to the main point, the captains said "Look Zancrow.... many people who you knew have gone although some have stayed, we are telling you to come down to Division 1 and we will give you the details". Zancrow shocked at how quickly they have got used to him coming back, he went disregarding everything he thought beforehand. He was asked if he believed to have enough power to become a captain responding immediately he answered "I have the potential but I still need to progress in my strength do you know if Captain Kuchiki is still here" they answered saying yes. Zancrow then said "I will train with him until I learn shikai" they all looked at him oddly and then just went back to their division.

Zancrow immediately started running towards the Kuchiki House not caring about its pride, he knocked out the guards and stormed into the house. Noticing Byakuya sitting their calmly he shouted "Captain Kuchiki train me" Byakuya looked at him with a stern face which looked like it was staring through you. Byakuya obviously said no, Zancrow then started challenging him tosay if he managed to bring him to his knee, he must train him, Byakuya keeping his pride accepted the challenge.

Zancrow vs Byakuya
They were clashing swords constantly while flash stepping around, you could see Byakuya was winning this fight. Zancrow knew that he could not win so he just used a cheap shot to get him to his knees he flash stepped behind him and sweeped Byakuya. Byakuya with his skill of shunpo easily dodged the attack, Zancrow knew that he couldn't win this fight so he decided to try and impress Byakuya, he put all of his effort into fighting Byakuya completely disregarding his laid back personality. Byakuya was getting annoyed because of Zancrow being persistive with attacking him, Byakuya eventually just told him to find someone by the name of Yoruichi Shihōin, Zancrow just walked off tired in the direction to where Byakuya pointed.

Zancrow's Training With Yoruichi
Zancrow eventually got to where Yoruichi is supposedly is, he asked a woman with a well endowed figure "Excuse me but are you Yoruichi", the woman looked at him and smiled saying "Yes, what do you want". Zancrow slowly approached her and he asked if she could help him train, obviously said no, Zancrow disappointed he then followed up with "Byakuya sent me". Immediately turned around and asked what he wanted training for. He then answered "Bankai" Yoruichi surprised told him that it would be harder then any training he has had before but because Yoruichi could see the potential in Zancrow she accepted his plea for training.

Before Yoruichi began training with Zancrow she stated that their are 2 stages of a Zanpaktou's release: the first stage Shikai (Initial Release) and the second stage Bankai (Final Release) and that to become a Captain you must of achieved both. She also tells him that every captain in the Gotei 13 has a Bankai except the captain that you previously fought Zaraki Kenpachi. Zancrow was surprised that Kenpachi didn't have a Bankai and he still fought that strong. Yoruichi then explained that to achieve Bankai the wielder must be strong and have lots of tough training and that if Zancrow learnt Bankai he would grow 10x stronger, Zancrow then stated that he does not even know shikai yet. Yoruichi surprised that he was asked to be a captain, Yoruichi then stated that he needs 10 years to learn both but Zancrow then answered saying that he would do anything to learn it quicker Yoruichi then stopped him and told him she would do a more dangerous method of learning it in a 3 days, Zancrow keen to get training telling Yoruichi he wants to train now.

Yoruichi calming down his eagerness told him that they would be getting started immediately. Yoruichi brought Zancrow to an huge baron area and told him this is where they will train. Yoruichi brought out a large white doll and told Zancrow this is a Tenshintai, a rare artifact. She then followed up that its abilities forcibly bring out and materialize a Zanpaktou, Yoruichi then tells him how to achieve Bankai she stated that he had to stab the doll to materialize the spirit then she would try her hardest to keep it materialized using her power. Yoruichi then said that he has a time limit of 3 days if he passes that time and that he only has one chance. She the also told him that he has to make his zanpaktou submit.

Zancrow came charging at the doll and stabbed it which then caused Inabikari to materialize in the real world, Yoruichi then asked if Inabikari heard the conversation and he nodded yes, then Yoruichi told him to pick the method of combat and to start the training immediately, he agreed again and he formed a circle in the air with his index finger. Suddenly the enviroment changed into a deserted area with mist everywhere, Inabikari then stated that he must find his zanpaktou in the mist and then defeat me, then he said that he has to do it in a set time otherwise slowly he will get weaker and I will get stronger. Knowing this Zancrow immediately started running with no direction and he knew that he was getting nowhere. Then suddenly he calmed himself down and he had a glare of confidence in his eye. Then he started running again but in a different direction and he found his zanpaktou sword, suddenly Inabikari appeared in front of him and began slashing at his chest and he cut Zancrow deeply. Zancrow feeling the wound and his slowly decreasing power fell to his knee and Inabikari was saying that he was too weak to gain a bankai, when Zancrow heard this he immediately got energy back and he fought back and pushed Inabikari to the ground and he disappeared. Yoruichi noted that he was progressing at a ridiculous speed and that he would finish earlier than expected.

Day Two
Yoruichi could sense a Zancrow with much more spiritual energy and his power has increased as the second day training commences. Inabikari then appeared to Zancrow and told him that the next training will require strength and his brain, he then said that he must slowly progress through the mist and he will encounter copies of other zanpaktou but then he stated that the copy may be him and he said if you believe that one of the copies is me you must attack it if not you must leave it be. Yoruichi confident in Zancrow's ability also had some worries due to his impatience. Zancrow agreed and started to run and he found a copy of a dragon, going by instinct he didn't attack it and he went on eventually he came across 3 copies all in one area, Zancrow concentrating was waiting for something and he attacked a gorilla copy, suddenly the gorilla transformed back into Inabikari. Inabikari congratulated him on working it out so well, he then asked how he knew it was the gorilla, Zancrow then went on to answer saying that he knows that you like fighting, and he saw the smile on his face when he saw Zancrow, he said even though it was for a brief second I knew then that it was you. Zancrow then was asked by Inabikari "Why do you want bankai and power", Zancrow then answered "I once swore to my captain that I would defeat him in battle". Inabikari knowing the reason why he seeks power made an oath with Zancrow and Zancrow feeling happy and exhausted fainted. Yoruichi knowing that he had achieved bankai was surprised by how quickly he learnt it.

Aftermath Of Achieving Bankai
Zancrow after he had achieved bankai thanked Yoruichi very much and left before Yoruichi even knew it. Zancrow had gained huge power and was proud to become captain of the squad he previously was.

Passing the Captain's Test
Zancrow was asked to complete the test to become a Captain and Zancrow answered by saying I want to become a Captain by defeating the captain of Squad 2 as he holds a grudge against him from when he challenged him before and he was humiliated. G. accepted that challenge thinking that Zancrow has not grown in power and he has not got a bankai hence him challenging him. Zancrow with a grin on his face told him to meet him in the centre of Soul Society and he asked everyone to be their.

The Anticipated Battle: Zancrow vs G.
Zancrow waiting their for G., ready for battle. G. finally appeared by shunpo and he waited for the other captains to get there. The captains appeared there and many other seated officers were there, the Captain Commander then stated that the battle may begin. Zancrow was the one who aggressively charged at G. knowing his skill for flash stepping and he began thrusting at G.'s neck, G. flash stepped behind Zancrow and went to stab him, Zancrow predicting that he would do thay grabbed the sword and pulled it towards him and kneed G. in the stomach and G. was sent flying but G. managed to regain his balance. G. surprised by his growth in skill knew he had to keep his pride so he decided to release his shikai "Howl, Taigariri" G. now had two guns in his hand. Zancrow surprised to ever see his shikai knew that he could only fight at long range. Zancrow so confident of himself knew he could end the battle now and he slashed at the ground to create smoke and it gave him enough time to use a incantated kido "Beyond the end of a thousand hands. The hand of darkness out of reach. The archer in heaven that goes unseen. Road that lights the way. Wind that ignites the embers. Gather without hesitation. Look where I point. Bullets of light, bodies of eight, rays of nine, paths of heaven, treasures of speed, wheels of immensity and cannons of grey. From a distance, the bow is drawn and fades in light. Way of destruction #91 Thousand Hands Bright Sky Cannon!". By the time that G. noticed the incantation he had seen that thousands and thousands of beams came all firing at him, even his skill of shunpo he could not dodge this many. He eventually got hit by them and he fell to the ground and Zancrow had his sword on his neck saying "Do you give up" G. knowing he had been beat had said yes. Many celebrated that he had become captain and the question they were waiting for was has he learnt bankai he answered "Yes, but I did not feel that I had to use shikai against G."

The captain commander even stated to the other captains that it was amazing how strong Zancrow was, saying he has surpassed my spiritual energy at this age. Many of the captains looked at Zancrow before he was appointed captain of Squad 11, once he was announced Captain he immediately took a deep breath and asked one more favour. "Do you know where Captain Kenpachi is now" they answered no, but he said that he cannot accept himself as one of the strongest shinigami until he can beat Kenpachi.

Zancrow Learns About Past Events
Zancrow after becoming a captain was told about all of the things that had happened: Aizen's, Gin's and Tousen's betrayal and the fact that he was told that Aizen would be invading soon with his espada. Zancrow was surprised about what happened, while they were talking about this their suddenly was an explosion and Zancrow knew that they had invaded now.

Zancrow went to G. and told him that he would be going for a while. G. asked why but Zancrow told him that he is not happy with the Gotei 13. G. was left there with many unanswered questions. Zancrow shouted while he walked away "I will be back as either an ally or enemy, but I will be with a group".

Zancrow's Unexpected Leave
Zancrow left the Gotei 13 and had to relax after the news he was told, Zancrow decided to relax and he went back to his house to have a few drinks. Once Zancrow had relaxed he went out and he suddenly noticed a presence and he quickly started to run over to where it was coming from. He saw 10 hollows roughly surrounding a kid with orange spiky hair, the kid had a stern face but was shaking. Zancrow quickly drew his sword and struck them down with no effort whatsoever, suddenly another shinagami appeared and asked if he was alright then the kid pointed towards Zancrow "He saved me, don't attack him Sasuke". Sasuke looked at him and thanked him and told him to come with them, he then asked if he was currently involved with another group but he answered no.

Sasuke took Zancrow to a base and spoke some phrases "Radiant light which shines brightly, wash away the shadows and influence the moon." Suddenly the door opened and they walked in Zancrow asked the kid "Whats your name" he answered reluctantly "Neru... Neru Sizaeon". Zancrow walked in and noticed many other shinigami's and their was one who stood out near the back of the base. Zancrow asked Neru who the guy at the back was he answered "Oh... Big bro huh, he is he leader of this clan, his names Gunner." Zancrow walked over to him and immediately asked I wish to join this clan, he looked up and stared straight through Zancrow. He started to speak "Why do you ask to join, you have to prove yourself since you are not related". Zancrow understanding challenged Sasuke to prove himself, gladly he accepted the challenge. Zancrow immediately charged at Sasuke and went behind him and fired a rapid barrage of punches to his back landing all of them. Gunner shouted "Enough, fine you can join".

Sizaeon Clan Plans
Zancrow started gaining reputation in the clan and he asked what Gunner's goal was, he then answered "To destroy the Gotei 13" , Zancrow then followed up with he seeks vengeance for what they done to him. As they agreed on the grudges they had, he eventually stopped chatting.

Powers and Abilities
""Impossible...! This power...How could it be this huge in difference to mine. The power creates a presence for itself, its just... so overpowering. The fact that even a shinigami of his power can't control it, if he released it, the heavens would shake. Why this type of power should have a completely different name."

- G. Trinity thinking to himself while fighting Zancrow.

Devastating Spiritual Energy: Zancrow possesses extremely high Reiatsu, even to a degree of a captain. When he became a captain, even Yoruichi said "He has much more higher Reiatsu then the Captain Commander". Zancrow had even said himself that even to his caliber of ability he struggles to control it, though he has learnt how to manipulate it well. Zancrow uses his Spiritual Energy to enhance his speed, power and his five senses. Zancrow has shown that he finds it near-impossible to conceal his presence due to his Spiritual Energy being leaked, Zancrow has his lightning element which is enhancing his spiritual power even more. When Zancrow releases his spiritual power it creates dark clouds in the sky and forms a lightning dragon to come down and destroy the area, it has enough power to kill anyone who is weak. Zancrow uses his spiritual energy to form electric spears which creates explosions or he can use it in beams, he can also use very high level kido due to his huge amount of Reiatsu. When Zancrow uses his spiritual energy to enhance his eyes they turn a light blue, which allows him to see much more quicker things, and when he enhances his legs and body he can move quicker and become more durable. Zancrow was considered to be the only captain to surpass the captain commander in terms of strength. Zancrow has even shown to be able to take a full hit from Gunner unharmed. Many people say that Zancrow must be skilled to be able to move quickly with something that heavy.
