Armory (造兵廠, Zouheishou) is one of two advanced battle-centric techniques usable by those who practice the Yuengiri philosophy. Armory is a relatively new addition, having been conceptualised by Rozeluxe Meitzen and perfected by Van Satonaka, in the latter years of the First Spiritual War. Armory's counterpart, which was developed early by the Yellow Dragon God and perfected by Kenji Hiroshi, was referred to as the Battle Aura.
Description[]
Unlike the Battle Aura, which was a concept originally designed by Ikusa during his long conflict with the God of Rebellion Hakyoku, Armory was a new additive brought about by the observations of Kenji Hiroshi's generation of trainees, specifically those of Van Satonaka in regards to Rozeluxe Meitzen. Rather than drawing upon the central essence of a person and amplifying it Armory draws on the central essence of a powerful bond, and clad's the resultant user in a raiment of power.
Known Practitioners[]
Armory forms[]
Raze's Armory tattoo.
- Rozeluxe's Armory: Raze was the first user of the Armory technique, which was quickly perfected by Van using Yuengiri philosophies and techniques. Raze's various forms required near-perfect synchronisation with a friend, ally, or lover with the bond producing tattoo-like markings on his back and an accompanying wardrobe change. Due to this Raze's version required an ally to be present but his abilities where proportionally stronger.
- Van's Armory: Other than perfecting Armory Van's usage of the technique was not widely documented. Van taught the technique to both Kenji and Ashido.
- Kenji's Armory: Kenji's usage of the technique was not widely documented, though he was known to possess at least two forms of the technique. Both forms drew on his bond with Van and Kei respectively.
Ashido producing a Hollow-based Armory.
- Ashido's Armory: Ashido's traditional manifestation of Armory took two distinct forms: the first was a Hollow-like empowerment, whilst the second produced abilities based on those of Rukia Kuchiki. He was the first to apply Armory to a negative bond by drawing forth the negative feelings and history associated with the Hollow who killed his best friend. As the primary instructor of the technique Ashido made further advancements to the technique, to the point he could manifest two raiment's at once and combine their respective traits.
- Shiju's Armory: Shiju wished to learn Armory in addition to the Battle Aura but had yet to begin his studies when The Collapse occurred. Through both Raze and and the returning Ashido, Shiju completed his training and thus inherited the full legacy of the Yuengiri. Like Van his usage was not widely documented.
- Akira's Armory: Akira learned both Armory and the Battle Aura from Ashido.
