'''Dyan Arashi''' (''ぢおんヂオン Arashi Dyan''), also called '''Moony''' (''ムーニ Muni'') is a Shinigami in the Gotei 13, and current Captain of the 5th Division. Notably, he is a Shinigami with a unique past, having spent time masquerading as a Human when he was notably weak, and had gained several powers during this time. When he returned to his status as a full-Shinigami, his powers had been changed, and strengthened, and Dyan is now one of the Soul Society's most valuable assets.
 
   
He now serves as the 5th Division Captain of the Gotei 13. His Lieutenant is [http://thebleachfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Kirei_Usuikikan Kirei Usuikikan].

Sometime after regaining his Shinigami powers in the Human World, Dyan's [[Dyan Arashi I|father]] managed to pull a few strings and drop all charges against Dyan, gaining him a favorable position in the Soul Society. He now serves as the 5th Division Captain of the Gotei 13. His Lieutenant is [[Kirei Usuikikan]].

He entered the Shinō Academy at a young age (by Soul Society standards) around the same time as his sister, and it was there he changed his name from Nagi to Dyan. In his classes, despite his high marks in the practical courses, in actual studying courses, Dyan often daydreamed and was scolded by his teachers for it. In the Academy he learned her had a knack for Kidō, possibly due to his use of his spiritual power as a young child. He graduated without ever learning his Zanpakuto's name and was admitted into the 11th division, where he could express his love of fighting.

During a mission in the World of the Living, Dyan was attacked by a Gillian Level Arrancar. In a futile battle against it, he was nearly killed. When the Arrancar could finish the blow with a Cero, Zangetsu appeared before Dyan. He asked Dyan if he had lost his will to fight, and if he really intended to die there. Dyan did not know who he was, and at first did not answer. Zangetsu turned to leave, saying if Dyan would not speak then it meant he could not decide. Dyan cried out he wanted to live, and Zangetsu told him to call out his name. He released his Zanpakutō, the blade becoming the glorious Black and Whit cleaver that it's Shikai is, and sliced the Arrancar in half with one blow. He fainted however, and awoke in the Central 46 chamber. The Central 46 did not approve of his Zanpakutō, but were willing to let it go when they realized that it's original possessor was human. When Dyan picked up Zangetsu and turned to leave however, a Shinigami rushed into the chamber and told the Central 46 that another Shinigami possessed Zangetsu before Dyan was born, a man by the name of [[Kento Tensei]]. Dyan realized what this might mean, and in desperation, released a huge Getsuga Tenshō attack on the Central 46, injuring them all and demolishing the chamber. He fled from the Soul Society to the World of the Living, and even though he now knew others possessed the same Zanpakutō as he, Dyan vowed not to let anyone take away his Zangetsu, and devoted his life to training and becoming stronger.

'''Master Swordsmanship Specialist:''' Dyan is quite naturally skilled in Swordmanship, coming from the 11th Division, which prizes Swordsmanship skill and willingness to fight above all else. When in battle, Dyan typically uses his Zanpakutō, as his primary mode of battle. He has been shown on various occasions to be able to match a Captain-level opponent blow for blow with his sword and can be considered a swordsmanship specialist.

He has been shown on various occasions to be able to match a Captain-level opponent blow for blow with his sword and can be considered a swordsmanship specialist.
*'''Gengetsu no mai''' (''弦月の舞 Dance of the Crescent Moon''): Combining Dyan's speed with his swordsmanship skill, he charges at the opponent, moving in a peculiar pattern. While the enemy is distracted by his movements, Dyan takes to their back, cutting them cleanly in half.
 
*'''Gobōsei no Ken''' (五芒星の剣, ''"Pentagram Sword"''): Channeling spiritual energy into Zangetsu, Dyan performs a series of five slashes at blistering speeds in a pattern that resembles a star. Because of the speed that he swings his blade, it seems as if Dyan has unleashed these blows concurrently, enabling them to all impact upon the foe's body at the same time. The slashes close on the enemy from all sides to create a prison, allowing no chance for defense or evasion. It should be noted that if his foe deflects one, then the others will surely hit, and due to the close range, if the opponent attempts to escape, Dyan's blade will quickly cut them down. However, during the process of slashing, a small opening is revealed for those with trained eyes: a tiny opening between his right arm and waist.
 
*'''Ken'atsu''' ('' ケン篤, Lit "Pressure of the sword"'') A move Dyan picked up during his training, this move is basically the air/power moved by the sword just by cutting through the air.
 
*'''Kuzuryūsen''' (九頭龍閃, ''"Nine-Headed Dragon Strike"''): An original Zanjutsu technique developed by Eimi, passed down to Dyan. While it is meant to be used as sword technique, she had developed it to the point that she can adapt and change how it appears depending on the circumstances of its use, such as a defending attack, a medium-to-long range attack, and an area-of-effect ability. Despite the great range of uses, Kuzuryūsen is activated by infusing Dyan's reiatsu into his Zanpakutō, forcing a series of high-frequency vibrations to start in his blade in order to increase the cutting effectiveness of his blade drastically, also making his strikes difficult to block and counter. This results in the Zanpakutō emitting a "humming" noise, and the blade of his weapon visibly blurring. It should be noted, that Zangetsu emits a mystical light while undulating. Dashing forward, Dyan unleashes a single slash; due to the vibrations of the blade, it targets and simultaneously strikes his foe in several spots at high speeds.
 
 
:'''Scythe Specialist:''' Upon gaining a Fullbring and when he regained his Shinigami powers, Dyan became the user of a scythe. While not versed in any particular techniques, he has become skilled to wield his weapons decently.

'''Flash Step Expert:''' Dyan has shown himself to be highly proficient in Flash Steps, being able to keep up with Captain-level Shinigami. In Bankai, his speed increases to the point where he can create afterimages of himself uses Flash Step. Since regaining his Shinigami powers, his speed has only increased.

:'''Sublevación''' (''すぶればしおん'' (''虚採集'') ''Suburebasion'', Spanish for ''"Uprising"'', Japanese for ''"Hollow Gathering"'') is a technique Dyan developed. He releases a large amount of energy with the intent on drawing in Hollows, and with it is able to call on Menos from Hueco Mundo, which he can use to fight other opponents.

'''Kidō Expert:'''One of Dyan's greatest skills is in Kidō. He possesses spells for healing, binding and destruction, destruction being his preferred choice of spell. In the Academy, his highest grades were in Kidō. However, he was placed in the 11th Division due to his own admission, and therefore stopped progressing with Kidō due to the nature of the division. After he defected from the Soul Society however, he began to hone his skills in Kidō, progressing to a level of skill directly above expert, but not quite Master level.

*'''Cero:''' Due to once having had Hollow powers, Dyan has enough memory to emulate a Cero. Dyan's Cero forms uniquely in his palm as a sphere, with energy crackling out on each side. The Cero is emerald coloured and possesses the power to rival a Gran Rey Cero in it's base form.

'''[[Zangetsu (spirit)|Zangetsu]]''' (''Repentance Moon''): After regaining his Shinigami powers, Dyan's Zangetsu once again underwent change. His own Shihakusho now resembles the sleeveless kosode worn by members of the Ninth Division of the Gotei 13. He has a thick strap across his chest, and instead of waraji and tabi, he wears dark black boots, similar to '''Gunryūren Zangetsu'''. The biggest change however, is Zangetsu itself. In it's original state, it was an elegant cleaver as tall as Dyan himself, and it later transformed into a mass of untamed reiatsu around his arm. Zangetsu now takes the form of a scythe, resembling a combination of Zangetsu and Dyan's Fullbring weapon. The pole to the scythe is a shade of green, and the scythe itself has a black blade with a silver edge, though it has a noticeable red tint. Dyan says that is is easier to work with Zangetsu in it's scythe state, because the shape makes it seem as if it is designed to "slay" as one meaning of the name implies.

:'''Shikai Special Ability''': Zangetsu is largely used for melee combat but possesses one known special ability.
:'''Shikai Special Ability''': In its Shikai form, Zangetsu is largely used for melee-combat, but it does possess two important abilities. Due to Dyan's enormous spiritual energy levels and slight inability to properly utilize them, Zangetsu's first ability is to serve as a fulcrum in which to assist Dyan in retaining control over his spiritual energy levels; taking the remnants of the energy that leaks out from his body and focuses them in his Zanpakutō; for Zangetsu himself, this gives him a sixth sense of sorts. The way in which this ability is utilized most of the time is to consume spiritual energy, condense it, which in turn amplifies its power, then releases it through the tip of the blade during an attack to release a wave of energy from which its main method of offense manifests. However, it has been shown that both Shinigami and Spirit can utilize this ability in a variety of methods, such as the ability to forcibly seal a wound that has been previously gushing blood, though there appears to be a limit to which this will work. And lastly, it can be used to produce multiple solid clones of the user, allowing them to outnumber their enemy and attack from multiple directions simultaneously. However, doing so appears to reduce the power of the Zanpakutō.
 
 
[[File:2ecn5mo.png|thumb|Dyan's Getsuga Tenshō in Shikai]]
 
[[File:2ecn5mo.png|thumb|Dyan's Getsuga Tenshō in Shikai]]
:*'''[[Getsuga Tenshō]]''' (''月牙天衝 Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): The signature technique of Zangetsu. At the instant of the slash, Zangetsu, absorbing Dyan's spiritual energy, focuses it at the tip of the weapon, gathering the energy in a tri-focused manner and condensing it to its utmost limit before swiftly releasing it, magnifying the slash attack, which flies forward at high speeds in the shape of a crescent arc. The colour of the Getsuga Tenshō released by Zangetsu is a vibrant emerald; vibrating as it moves, as to increase its power explosively. Getsuga Tenshō is a powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large scale damage. Zangetsu, as the originator of the technique, is well-versed in it's uses, deriving several other attacks from it that he taught to Dyan; so by a technical standpoint Dyan still has more to learn. Dyan has used this technique in several different manners, such as striking the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to knock away incoming attacks or slashing at the ground to upturn it and crush everything in its path; and a single swing of the Getsuga Tenshō is more than enough to disperse an entire rainstorm; as well as demolish a large radius of the surroundings and leave behind a huge crater in the wake of the attack. After Dyan regains his Shinigami powers, his Getsuga Tenshō is shown to be noticeably larger and more powerful in its Shikai form than it was before his powers were stolen.

:*'''[[Getsuga Tenshō]]''' (''月牙天衝 Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): At the instant of the slash Zangetsu absorbs his spiritual energy and releases highly condensed spiritual energy at the tip of the blade. Magnifying the slash attack and then flies forward. This slash takes the form of a light green crescent moon or in the shape of a wave. Getsuga Tenshō is a powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large scale damage. Dyan appears to be talented in the use of the Getsuga Tenshō, deriving several other attacks from it. Unlike Ichigo's attack which is bright blue, Dyan's is a very light green. After Dyan regains his Shinigami powers, his Getsuga Tenshō is shown to be noticeably larger and more powerful in its Shikai form than it was before his powers were stolen.
 
:::'''Getsuga Soshaku''' (''月牙一口 Moon Fang Bite''): Should a Getsuga that Dyan has used be deflected, he can use this ability to "influence" the remaining energy shards to bombard the opponent before they give out. The damage itself is not major, but Dyan can manipulate the remaining Getsuga energy in anyway he pleases.

:*'''Shōgetsu''' (障害月影, ''Impediment Moon'') An new attack first displayed by Zangetsu during Dyan's Jinzen training and later learned by Dyan. When used, energy envelops the blade and the Dyan swings it forward, unleashing a blast of energy that circles around the target when it hits, creating a round spiraling cage of green energy that traps the opponent. While easy to shatter from the outside, it is difficult to escape from the inside.

[[File:Tensa_Zangetsu's_new_appearance.jpg|thumb|300px|Tensa Zangetsu, after Dyan regains his Shinigami powers]]
:* '''Reitekketsu''' (霊鉄血, ''The Iron and Blood of the Spirit''): By harnessing Zangetsu's ability to control its spiritual energy, the user can allow the spiritual energy stabilized by the Shikai to flow directly into their blood vessels once they have been wounded no matter how minor or grave, which then instills the ability of the Shikai into their bloodstream; the result of this is what allows this technique to forcibly seal a wound that has been previously gushing blood; patching up the wounds and enabling the user to return to top shape and thus fight at their best once more. Additionally, this technique can be utilized to boost them in combat; it can grant the user inhuman durability, but it is not absolute, and can be torn using sufficient power. Another use is to grant the user inhuman attack power, able to demolish small buildings with a single offensive movement. However, because Reitekketsu utilizes independent forms of the technique for attack and defense operate using two different Reishi systems, they cannot be employed simultaneously.
 
 
*'''Bankai:''' '''Tensa Zangetsu''' (''天鎖斬月, Heaven Chain Slaying Moon''): is the name of Dyan's Bankai. Dyan, after initiating Bankai, takes a form similar to a stereotypical grim reaper. He wears a black shikahusho similar to Zangetsu’s previous Shikahusho, albeit with green cross-like markings on his abdominal and forearm sections, with a green tassle of rope hanging from his shoulder, and bandages surrounding his arms. His hands also have unusual black stripes on them, and the shikahusho, like it was previously, is tattered and ragged at the ends. Dyan's eyes become white with black sclera, he gains green markings on his face, and his hair becomes a white colouration. Finally, his scythe is far larger, with circular like patterns at the blade of the scythe, where he is able to behead opponents if he wishes.
:*'''Reifukuei''' (霊複影, ''Spiritual Clones of Shadow''): By harnessing Zangetsu's ability to control its spiritual energy, the user can momentarily allow the spiritual energy condensed to form duplicates of themselves; these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's spiritual energy is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power; they are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one powerful strike, but they will more often than not serve their purpose of providing a decent distraction, as well as allowing them to outnumber their enemy and attack from many a direction at the same time; however, due to the user's power being distributed evenly, it does reduce the attack power of the Zanpakutō.
 
 
:'''Bankai Special Ability:''' Tensa Zangetsu, much like its Shikai form, is used heavily for melee combat, but also possess a certain special ability.
[[File:Tensa_Zangetsu's_new_appearance.jpg|thumb|300px|Gunryūren Zangetsu, after Dyan regains his Shinigami powers]]
 
 
:*'''Ultra-Speed Combat:''' Dyan takes all the power of his Bankai and compresses it into an extremely small, hyper-condensed form. Then, he uses the power of the Bankai to perform astoundingly high-speed combat. With his new speed, he can create afterimages of himself to confuse opponents. However, there are limits to how far he can go, if he pushes himself to far, his bones will begin to crack.
*'''Bankai:''' '''Gunryūren Zangetsu''' (''軍竜連懺月, War Dragon's Link to the Repeatance Moon''): is the name of Dyan's Bankai. Dyan, after initiating Bankai, takes a form similar to a stereotypical grim reaper. He wears a black shikahusho similar to Zangetsu’s previous Shikahusho, albeit with green cross-like markings on his abdominal and forearm sections, with a green tassle of rope hanging from his shoulder, and bandages surrounding his arms. His hands also have unusual black stripes on them, and the shikahusho, like it was previously, is tattered and ragged at the ends. Dyan's eyes become white with black sclera, he gains green markings on his face, and his hair becomes a white colouration. Finally, his scythe is far larger, with circular like patterns at the blade of the scythe, where he is able to behead opponents if he wishes.
 
:'''Bankai Special Ability''': The power of Zangetsu eats up Dyan's spiritual energy, condenses it, which in turn amplifies its power, then releases it through the tip of the blade during an attack to release a wave of energy. Naturally, the Bankai is an extension of this ability, taking the concept to the highest degree that is attainable by a Shinigami; compressing all of his spiritual energy into his body, and not just his sword, allowing not even a speck to be released from his figure, drastically bolstering his abilities all across the board. No longer can he only fire the Getsuga as a simple wave of energy, but he is capable of manipulating it into an enormous variety of shapes and sizes; giving it numerous properties, essentially treating it as an extension of his own body. Unusually for a Shinigami's Bankai, the ability of Zangetsu's Bankai can be likened to an Arrancar's and how they compress their own spiritual pressure in order to stand as equals to the Shinigami.
 
:*'''Ultra-Speed Combat''': Dyan takes all the power of his Bankai and compresses it into an extremely small, hyper-condensed form. Then, he uses the power of the Bankai to perform astoundingly high-speed combat, moving at a speed faster than the human eye can comprehend. Even if someone could detect his trajectory, it is near impossible to catch him. Dyan's speed appears to create up to eight doubles of himself while in motion. These doubles are not illusory; he is moving at a speed between different positions that is faster than the speed of sound. As such, were all the doubles to attack at once, it would mean that Dyan is attacking from all those positions simultaneously, giving him incredible destructive power. Similarly, because of this same speed, attacking the doubles would be futile as Dyan would have moved long before the attack even reaches him. Dyan also becomes fast enough to outrun his own Getsuga Tenshō, allowing him to strike and enhance them or launch simultaneous attacks at the opponent from various angles; however, there are limits to how far he can go, if he pushes himself to far, his bones will begin to crack.

[[File:Dyan_Bankai_getsuga.png|thumb|Enhanced Getsuga Tenshō (Kuroi Getsuga)]]
 
:*'''Enhanced Getsuga Tenshō:''' Tensa Zangetsu retains the use of Getsuga Tenshō and can be used in the same manners, but can be used in an enhanced form. When used in Bankai, these potent blasts are black with a green outline and their path can be controlled, with explosively augmented power and speed. Dyan can also keep Getsuga Tenshō within Tensa Zangetsu to augment his scythe swings.
:*'''Kuroi Getsuga Tenshō''' (黒月牙天衝, ''Black Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): When in Bankai, Dyan automatically retains the use of Getsuga Tenshō and can be used in the same manners, but as an enhanced form, causing them to become black with a green outline, their path can be controlled through telekinetic thoughts, and they possess explosively augmented power and speed. What should be noted that this variation of Getsuga Tenshō has three small spheres orbiting around it, in a similar manner to moons around a planet. When coming into contact with a target, the disordered rotations of the individual attack, created by the central and smaller ones spinning in different directions, interact with each other to form a massive and turbulent wave-like vortex that demolishes everything that it comes into contact with. This iteration of the Getsuga Tenshō is a spiritual energy collection attack and thus becomes far more powerful the later it's used. It is most useful when activated towards the end of a battle between high-level opponents, since the area will be saturated with excess energy from their attacks. It is a recycling of the spiritual particles just used and spread over the battlefield. Therefore, even though Dyan has been exhausted from spiritual energy, the ability can still be invoked. Lastly, Dyan's tremendous speed in Bankai enables him to move faster than the Getsuga Tenshō itself, allowing him to fire a multitude of blasts from varying directions in order to overwhelm his opponent. Dyan can also keep Getsuga Tenshō within Gunryūren Zangetsu to augment his scythe swings.
 
   
 
::*'''Getsurame''' (''黒月影雨 Black Moon Rain''): Usable only in Bankai, Dyan slashes his blade up at the sky, releasing a large blast of black needle-like rods of energy into the sky. Swinging his blade down, the rods rain down on the opponent, piercing them in various places. Dyan can create a maximum of 100 of these, and has limited control over them. The less he creates, the easier they are to control.

Line 131: Line 101:
 
::*'''Meigetsu''' (''名月 Harvest Moon''): A defensive Getsuga technique, Dyan releases a compressed Getsuga Tenshō to collide with an oncoming offensive attack, be it spiritual or physical, and it provides a solid, protective barrier that is difficult to break for anyone under Dyan's own level of power. The shield, despite being powerful, is not long-lasting, as Getsuga Tenshō is not meant to be an attack that defends, but rather a technique with high offensive properties. Dyan found a variant use for this technique however, a non-lethal attack, one that can be both a distraction or a way to incapacitate opponents that need to be taken alive, by simply releasing the shield at close range, using it as a solid method of attack.

  +
:*'''Ugetsu''' (''雨月, Unable To See The Moon Because Of Rain''): Ugetsu is the most powerful attach sans Mugetsu that is available to Dyan. It is formed by firing a massive Getsuga Tenshō at full-power into the skies, which halts right above the area of it's initiator's spiritual energy range. At that point, all sources of reishi are collected by the Getsuga technique, no matter the size or density of the spiritual energy. As more gathers, the size of the Getsuga in the skies grows into a large black moon which blocks out the sun. Any beings that are made of reishi that come into contact with the technique are either sucked in, effectively strengthening the technique overall, or completely decimates said target. It is unknown exactly how to stop the technique, but it has been noted that only by killing the user of the technique can stop Ugetsu. However, it has also been said that if one can stop the Getsuga Tenshō from collecting enough reishi, it is theoretically possible to stop it before it gets too powerful.
:*'''Getenyōgōryū''' (''月天来擁護竜, The Heavenly Dragon of Vindication basking in the Moonlight''): When performing this technique, Dyan transfers his reiryoku to the tip of his weapon, intensifying it by the compression of power gained in Bankai, which turns the reiryoku stored in the weapon pitch-black and emerald in texture. The fusion of the reishi that creates the Bankai and the reiryoku gathered causes a reaction akin to nuclear fission; this causes the combined energies to spew forth from the weapon, released in the form of a black and emerald stream which is then hardened and properly shaped into the form of a large serpentine Chinese dragon with enormous fangs and shining green eyes with two giant wings—it's entire color is black, with several emerald shades; it has green-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail; the whole dragon is completely composed of the union of the dual energies. Despite being borne from Dyan, it is difficult to control, unless Dyan absorbs it and traps it within his own reiatsu. Because it composed entirely of black, demonic pure reiatsu, it completely consumes all it devours, as by attacking numerous structures and opponents, it is able to burn straight through them just by sheer force. In addition, Dyan can force the dragon to swirl around him, protecting him from most forms of damage; spinning around at such a speed that it forms a protective dome.
 
 
*'''Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō''' (''最後の月牙天衝, Final Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): [[File:Dyan's_Final_Getsuga.jpg|thumb|Dyan's appearance during the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō]] By using this technique, Dyan becomes '''the Getsuga''' (''月牙, Moon Fang'') itself. It is referred to as the “Final” Getsuga Tenshō because if Dyan used it, he would lose all of his Shinigami powers. For the duration of the ability, Dyan’s hair turns purplish-black, and becomes waist-length. Green bandages form around his body, tightly wrapped around his torso, right arm, and face, ending just beneath his eyes. The remains of a tattered black cloak cover his lower body. In this form, Dyan’s body constantly emits black reiatsu with a green outline (though it's white during the technique's initiation), most of which is focused around his right arm. Being in this form allows Dyan to use '''Mugetsu'''; once it is used, the transformation dissipates and Dyan's powers will seal.
:*'''Tsukikage''' (月影, ''Moonglade''): A highly powerful technique; upon activation, Tsukikage causes Dyan's eyes to glow an ominous emerald; and by gripping his scythe, it begins to glow green. Momentarily, this state gives him enhanced strength. The moment that an opposing attack touches his Zanpakutō, the power of Tsukikage allows Dyan to absorb the opposing attack through the tip of the scythe via the cold steel, converting it into a harmless force via slowing the spiritual particles of the blow and allowing Zangetsu's tip to consume it, focusing it into the tip instantly, bolstering the power of Dyan's next technique enormously. That which he can absorb are nearly any type of spiritual-based projectile, and even some naturally made projectiles; as long as it has spiritual particles, he can use it to boost his next attack. Once Zangetsu has absorbed the attack, Dyan's glow even brighter, which strengthens and accelerates the attack faster than it was originally fired, while adding his own attack into the mixture, making it much more difficult for the opponent to dodge. From there, he swings his scythe forward violently, unleashing a swift slash of imaginable power which is able to ignore many a defense and effect. A single direct hit is often enough to force opponents to exhaust their own spiritual energy completely in an attempt to cushion the blow, effectively rendering them drained. When he slashes outwards using this ability, green rose petals are shown floating in the air, as the foe is assaulted by the violent attack. "Moonglade" is a poetic term for the bright reflection of moonlight on water.
 
<!--
 
:*'''Ryūkae no Chōgetsuga Tenshō''' (竜替えの月牙天衝, ''Draconic Substitute Hyper Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): This is a technique that is likened to the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō in power and usage; but in truth, it is known as the second ultimate technique of any Moon-type Zanpakutō due to its use. It was developed eons ago to compensate for the drawbacks of Mugetsu, and can only be manifested in the wielders of moon-types that possess the technique known as Getenyōgōryū. When utilizing this technique, Dyan swings his weapon to the left, gathering focusing the flames on the blade. He then swings it right, increasing the amount of flames on the blade, as he turns the dragon on himself and absorbs it into his body, binding it to his will. As he transfers the dragon to all the joints in his body, he intermingles the spiritual energy that composes it with the energy of the Bankai, gaining a truly miraculous fusion from which the result of it is that he gains a truly insurmountable boost in power, defense, and speed. As a side-effect of this technique, Dyan's hair turns scarlet, and becomes waist-length, splayed wildly. Light crimson bandages form around his body, tightly wrapped around his torso, right arm, and face, ending just beneath his eyes; while pitch-black draconic wings sprout from his back. Golden flame-like markings spread across his chest and wrap around his left arm, and the remains of a tattered black cloak cover his lower body. In this form, Dyan's body constantly emits flaming emerald reiatsu, most of which is focused around his right arm. What should be noted is that Dyan has not learned this technique as of yet, and as such its power remains locked to him.
 
:**'''Ryūkyō Gōkagetsu''' (竜凶業火月, "Hellfire Moon of the Dragonsbane''): The extension to the '''Ryūkae no Chōgetsuga Tenshō'''; when preparing this technique, Dyan adopts a stance consisting of bent knees with one leg behind the other, while his weapon's end is held against his left palm. The blade part of Gunryūren Zangetsu will quickly absorb the flame-esque reiatsu focused on Dyan's right arm, travelling into the tip of the blade which then erupts, in the form of an inferno of black flames spiraling around the blade chaotically, causing the black flames on the scythe to multiply until it consumes the area like a wildfire before being focused and directed at a single point, being molded into a giant dragon's head with circling black flames, with several golden spiritual energy whips encircling around the dragon's head, having an almost spherical tornado-like appearance which flows out of the blade and fires at an opponent in the arc of the swing of Dyan's scythe. The flames are capable of burning through mostly anything in their path, even smothering regular fire techniques with ease. This technique is said to never stop burning; even when whatever is caught by it is completely reduced to ash or destroyed, it can still continue burning until it is erased. Upon impact, victims are forcefully thrown off of their feet with a powerful explosion of black flames, and the energy continues to rise even after being released, ascending to the sky.

== Former Powers and Abilities ==
 
{{hidden|"Click" to show information|
 
'''Spiritual Awareness:''' After losing his Shinigami powers, he retains enough of his reiatsu to be able to still see spirits.
 
 
'''Great Spiritual Power:''' After obtaining his Fullbring, his reiryoku level was noted to have increased, though it is far under the level he used to have. He is shown to now have intensely strong and high levels of spiritual energy, enough to combat other high level spiritual entities without overwhelming difficulty.
 
 
'''Expert-Hand-to-Hand Combat:''' Having been a former Shinigami, Dyan is skilled in hand to hand combat. Due to the skills he honed in the 11th Division, he is possibly one of most skilled non-Shinigami beings who can use hand-to-hand techniques.
 
 
'''Enhanced Speed:''' As a Fullbringer, he is capable of using the Bringer Lights to enhance his speed. Even with Bringer Lights, he keeps his reputation as a high speed fighter, his Bringer Lights noting to allow faster movement than most others.
 
 
'''Enhanced Durability:''' Despite effectively being a Plus (or Human, depending on how one views the Gigai inhabitation), Dyan is still shockingly durable, able to take assaults from high leveled hollows and other Shinigami.
 
 
=== Fullbring ===
 
[[File:Moonlit_Reaper.jpg|thumb|Midnight Reaper activated]]
 
'''Midnight Reaper''' (''みどないつ れえいぱあ Midonaitu Reeipaa''): After losing his Shinigami powers, Dyan noted that a fragment of his reiatsu had remained. Due to it's more Hollow-like nature, he was able to invoke Fullbring. Dyan's Fullbring, uses Tensa Zangetsu's tsuba, which broke off after he lost his powers. Initially, the guard merely releases black reiatsu in the shape ofthe tsuba. Like a tsuba, the weapon is used primarily for defense, particularly to block attacks, and has no cutting power. If Dyan releases his hold on the badge the reiatsu dissipates
 
 
However, as he completed his Fullbring, he becomes draped in a long black cloak, inlined with green cloth. This cloak covers up short black ''hakama'' as well as white boots. In this form, Dyan's weapon is now a twin-bladed scythe. Notably, the "button" on his cloak is similar to the mark of a Substitute Shinigami Badge.
 
 
'''Getsuga Tenshō''' (''月牙天衝 Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): Even in Fullbring, he retains the ability to use the Getsuga Tenshō, firing it from his scythe. While it is not as large or as powerful as when he had his Shinigami powers, it is noted to move much faster, and it as manipulable as the Kuro Getusga. His Getsuga is an emerald color.
 
:'''Absorption:''' Similarly to how he used the '''Hon'yū no Getsuga Tenshō''' (''本有の月牙天衝, Natural Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer'') in Bankai before, Dyan is now able to absorb any attack that uses reiatsu. While he is absorbing them, the eyes and teeth of the button on his cloak glow green. After absorbing the attack, he is able to send the attack back out of his scythe.
 
 
=== Hollow-merged Zanpakutō Form ===
 
[[File:Dyan_Arashi_Hybrid_Form_Shikai.png|thumb|Dyan's Shikai]]
 
'''[[Zangetsu (spirit)|Zangetsu]]''' (''斬月 Slaying Moon''): After Dyan defeated his Inner Hollow for a second time, it "accepted" him, becoming one with Dyan. This resulted in a change in his Zanpakutō. In Shikai, he becomes covered in reiatsu shaped similarlu to his Shinigami shihakushō, with his left arm covered in black reiatsu with a light green outline, similar to his Final Getsuga Tenshō form, losing his blade. In this form, Dyan's hair lengthens slightly, and his face gains green streaks from the forehead down past the eyes and neck. He gains small furry green tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck, and one each on his wrists and ankles. He is also barefoot, and gains retractable claws on his fingertips and toes. The sclera of his eyes become black, and his irises become a dark brown. His body being overrun with reiatsu shows how his Shikai is constant-released and therefore, very powerful.
 
 
:'''Shikai Special Ability''': Zangetsu's is largely used for melee combat but possesses one known special ability.
 
 
:*'''Getsuga Tenshō'''(''月牙天衝 Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): Using the reiatsu covering his arm, Dyan is able to perform the Getsuga Tenshō. This slash takes the form of a light green crescent moon or in the shape of a wave. Getsuga Tenshō is a powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large scale damage. Dyan appears to be talented in the use of the Getsuga Tenshō, deriving several other attacks from it. Unlike 's attack which is blue and white, Dyan's is dark green and white.
 
 
:*'''Shōgetsu''' (障害月影, ''Impediment Moon'') An new attack first displayed by Zangetsu during Dyan's Jinzen training and later learned by Dyan. When used, energy envelops the blade and the Dyan swings it forward, unleashing a blast of energy that circles around the target when it hits, creating a round spiraling cage of green energy that traps the opponent. While easy to shatter from the outside, it is difficult to escape from the inside.
 
 
:*'''Josei Zangetsu''' (''助成斬月 Assisting Slaying Moon''): Using this ability allows Zangetsu to manifest into the real world, and aid Dyan in battle.. Zangetsu is capable of manifesting himself at a distance from his master, able to commune with Dyan despite large distances. Zangetsu is able to manifest his Shikai form and use his abilities independently of Dyan.
 
 
*'''[[Bankai]]''': [[File:Dyan's new Bankai design.jpg|thumb|Dyan's Bankai]] (''天鎖斬月 Heaven Chain Slaying Moon''): It is considered completely out of the ordinary for any Zanpakutō. Unlike most Bankai forms, which usually create some sort of massive creature or effect, Dyan's Bankai actually shrinks his sword down to a [[Wikipedia:Daitō (long sword)|daitō]] (Japanese long sword) with a black blade. In his Bankai state, the energy around his arm vanished, becoming his standard Tensa Zangetsu blade. Just like in his Shikai form, his face gains green streaks from the forehead down past the eyes and neck. He gains small furry green tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck, and one each on his wrists and ankles. He is also barefoot, and gains retractable claws on his fingertips and toes. The sclera of his eyes become black, and his irises become a dark brown. The reiatsu surrounding him also disappears, his normal Bankai shihakushō returning. In this new Bankai form, the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō is unusable.
 
 
Later, after intense training, Dyan's Bankai form altered itself yet again. Under and over his Bankai coat, he wears black and white armor covers his neck, chest, arms, shoulders, moving down his torso to form an x. Similar to his Bankai after Jinzen, his right sleeve is missing, and the chain of Tensa Zangetsu circles up his arm. On both arms he wears green gloves and arm covers in the same pattern as the armor on his body. The rest of the outfit remains the same as the original Tensa Zangetsu. In this form, Dyan loses the blackened eyes and hollow marks he had in Shikai. Due to Tensa Zangetsu's "compression of reiatsu" it is possible Dyan's reiatsu is compressed to a degree where it does not have as much of an effect on him as it does in Shikai, thus giving him a slightly more "normal" appearance.
 
 
:*'''Enhanced Getsuga Tenshō''': [[File:Dyan's_Bankai_Getsuga.jpg|thumb|Dyan's Getsuga in Bankai]]Tensa Zangetsu retains the use of Getsuga Tenshō and can be used in the same manners, but can be used in an enhanced form. When used in Bankai, similar 's, these potent blasts are black with a green outline around them, but their path can still be controlled, with explosively augmented power and speed.
 
::*'''Hon'yū no Getsuga Tenshō''' (''本有の月牙天衝, Natural Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): A move that can only be accessed when Dyan is in his Hybrid Form. Dyan can absorb reishi from almost any kind of Spirit attack (as Hollows powers also come from the reiatsu in their surroundings), and use it to form a "Natural Getsuga Tenshō". This technique is unique, as there is no limit to how many times it can be performed, due to it not using Dyan's own Spiritual Energy. While using this technique, the designs on Dyan's skin glow with the energy of the Getsuga.
 
 
:*'''Getsurame''' (''黒月影雨 Black Moon Rain''): Usable only in Bankai, Dyan slashes his blade up at the sky, releasing a large blast of black needle-like rods of energy into the sky. Swinging his blade down, the rods rain down on the opponent, piercing them in various places. Dyan can create a maximum of 100 of these, and has limited control over them. The less he creates, the easier they are to control.
 
 
:*'''Kujogetsu''' (''駆除月影 Extermination Moon''): Dyan fires a massive amount of reiatsu into the air and it forms a large, floating orb of Getsuga Reiatsu, similar in appearance to a large, full moon. Calling out the attack's name. he swing's his blade down. The orb immediately bursts, splitting into multiple light green "meteors" which rain down onto the opponent. These meteors seem to "home in" on Dyan's target, and cease only when the blast(s) hit something else.
 
 
:*'''Hyper-Speed Combat:''' Dyan can take all the power of his Bankai and compress it into a small, condensed form. Then he uses the power of the Bankai to perform high-speed combat. In Bankai, his speed is so great, he can create afterimages to confuse an opponent.
 
 
:*'''Enhanced Spiritual Power:''' In Bankai his already immense spiritual energy has grandly and explosively increased, and now has a deep black spiritual energy with a dark green outline. After his Jinzen training, both Shinigami and Humans have become unable to feel his reiatsu unless he voluntarily lowers his level and allows them to feel it.
 
 
:*'''Enhanced Bankai Duration:''' Because his energy is compressed in Bankai, he doesn't expel as much spiritual power as other Bankai and he can remain in Bankai state longer than most Shinigami.
 
 
*'''Immense Strength:''' While using this form, Dyan's strength increases to the point where he can demolish multiple building by slashing the air with his blade once. He himself said that, if he wanted, he could tear an Arrancar with strong Hierro to shreds in this state.
 
 
*'''Enhanced Cero:''' Dyan's emerald Cero has become exceedingly powerful in this state. His Cero is now tri-focused, and powerful enough to cause large scale destruction to large portion of Dyan's surroundings.
 
 
*'''Enhanced Speed:''' Dyan's speed increases drastically, being able to move unnoticed by those with even the keenest sight. In this form, he uses Sonído.
 
 
*'''Enhanced Durability:''' Dyan's durability increases in this form to a point where only the strongest attacks can harm him. He is able to catch blades barehanded, even allowing the edges to scrape the skin with no damage, and survive powerful explosions of reiatsu.
 
 
=== Previous Zanpakutō Form ===
 
'''[[Zangetsu (spirit)|Zangetsu]]''' (''斬月 Slaying Moon''): Dyan possesses the same Zanpakutō as Kurosaki, but is quite fond of Zangetsu, even after finding out that another Shinigami possessed it before himself, he did not lower his opinion of his Zanpakutō. When sealed, it looks like an ordinary nodaichi, it's only decoration being the guard, which is round. The spirit of Zangetsu resembles a tall, thirty to forty-year-old man with unkempt facial hair and long ragged black hair. He dresses in tattered all black garbs with narrow sunglasses and a long flowing overcoat that flares out into ragged ends. Zangetsu is depicted as a wise man, but he rarely appears to Dyan at all, excepting occasions where his appearance is necessary. Dyan's inner world is drastically different from 's. His takes the form of a forest, lit by moonlight.
 
 
[[File:Dyan_new_Zangetsu.jpg|right|thumb|Dyan's Zangetsu]]
 
*'''[[Shikai]]''': The Shikai form of Zangetsu looks like an oversized elegant cleaver rather than a formal "katana". It has no tsuba and no proper hilt; what Dyan holds is the cloth-wrapped tang. The sword is fairly large, and has a black with a silver edge. The cloth wrapping on the tang seems to react to Dyan's will, changing length at a thought or twining about the blade in an impromptu sheath. When in combat, the cloth falls away when necessary, shrinking back to a manageable size. The cloth can also be used to swing the weapon like a flail and toss it at opponents for mid-range combat, and Dyan seems to enjoy that method of attack. Zangetsu's wide blade is able to be used as a shield from incoming attacks. Unlike most Zanpakutō, which can be sealed into their original form, Zangetsu is always in its Shikai form.
 
 
After his Jinzen training, Dyan's Shikai changed appearances. It gains a guard, the hilt and the bandages that surround it become purple. Zangetsu also lengthens, and it gains spiked curve on the bottom.
 
 
:'''Shikai Special Ability''': Zangetsu's is largely used for melee combat but possesses one known special ability.
 
 
:*'''Getsuga Tenshō''' [[File:Green_Getsuga.jpg|thumb|right|Dyan's Shikai Getsuga. Crescent Moon (Top) Wave Attack (Bottom)]](''月牙天衝 Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): At the instant of the slash Zangetsu absorbs his spiritual energy and releases highly condensed spiritual energy at the tip of the blade. Magnifying the slash attack and then flies forward. This slash takes the form of a light green crescent moon or in the shape of a wave. Getsuga Tenshō is a powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large scale damage. Dyan appears to be talented in the use of the Getsuga Tenshō, deriving several other attacks from it. Unlike 's attack which is blue and white, Dyan's is dark green and white. Using limited reishi, he can fire a Getsuga Tenshō in short bursts or bolts, which move like lightning and make a noise like thunder. It's weaker than a full powered Getsuga Tenshō, but faster.
 
 
:*'''Shōgetsu''' (障害月影, ''Impediment Moon'') An new attack first displayed by Zangetsu during Dyan's Jinzen training and later learned by Dyan. When used, energy envelops the blade and the Dyan swings it forward, unleashing a blast of energy that circles around the target when it hits, creating a round spiraling cage of green energy that traps the opponent. While easy to shatter from the outside, it is difficult to escape from the inside.
 
 
:*'''Josei Zangetsu''' (''助成斬月 Assisting Slaying Moon''): Using this ability allows Zangetsu to manifest into the real world, and aid Dyan in battle.. Zangetsu is capable of manifesting himself at a distance from his master, able to commune with Dyan despite large distances. Zangetsu is able to manifest his Shikai form and use his abilities independently of Dyan.
 
 
*'''[[Bankai]]''': [[File:Dyan's_new_Bankai.jpg|thumb|right|Dyan's appearance in Bankai, post Jinzen]] '''Tensa Zangetsu''' (''天鎖斬月 Heaven Chain Slaying Moon''): It is considered completely out of the ordinary for any Zanpakutō. Unlike most Bankai forms, which usually create some sort of massive creature or effect, Dyan's Bankai actually shrinks his sword down to a [[Wikipedia:Daitō (long sword)|daitō]] (Japanese long sword) with a black blade. The cross guard has four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji (which is the kanji for "ban," meaning "full", as in "full release"). Instead of the cloth his Shikai form had, a short length of chain with a broken link at the end dangles from the base of the hilt. In addition to his sword, Dyan's attire is replaced by a robe is replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat (or shikakusho) with green lining that is closed at his chest, then left to flare out into ragged ends, much like that of Zangetsu himself, and the bottom of a shikakusho. This coat is part of Dyan's Bankai and the damage it can take is directly proportionate to the remaining strength and level of Dyan's Reiatsu.
 
 
After his Jinzen Training, Dyan's bankai has changed slightly. While he still maintains the daitō with the black blade, the cross guard has changed to the four prongs expanding out larger from its previous position and while still in the shape of the manji its now abstract stick-like in appearance. Dyan now wears a black glove on his right hand that the sword appears to be attached to as the chain at the base of the hilt has extended extensively and now wraps up the length of his now sleeveless right arm with the additional portion of the chain hanging down.
 
 
:'''Bankai Special Ability''': Tensa Zangetsu much like its Shikai form is used largely for melee combat but possess certain special ability.
 
 
:*'''Enhanced Getsuga Tenshō''': [[File:Dyan's_Bankai_Getsuga.jpg|thumb|Dyan;s Getsuga in Bankai]]Tensa Zangetsu retains the use of Getsuga Tenshō and can be used in the same manners, but can be used in an enhanced form. When used in Bankai, similar 's, these potent blasts are black with a green outline around them, but their path can still be controlled, with explosively augmented power and speed.
 
 
:*'''Getsurame''' (''黒月影雨 Black Moon Rain''): Usable only in Bankai, Dyan slashes his blade up at the sky, releasing a large blast of black needle-like rods of energy into the sky. Swinging his blade down, the rods rain down on the opponent, piercing them in various places. Dyan can create a maximum of 100 of these, and has limited control over them. The less he creates, the easier they are to control.
 
 
:*'''Kujogetsu''' (''駆除月影 Extermination Moon''): Dyan fires a massive amount of reiatsu into the air and it forms a large, floating orb of Getsuga Reiatsu, similar in appearance to a large, full moon. Calling out the attack's name. he swing's his blade down. The orb immediately bursts, splitting into multiple light green "meteors" which rain down onto the opponent. These meteors seem to "home in" on Dyan's target, and cease only when the blast(s) hit something else.
 
 
:*'''Hyper-Speed Combat:''' Dyan can take all the power of his Bankai and compress it into a small, condensed form. Then he uses the power of the Bankai to perform high-speed combat. In Bankai, his speed is so great, he can create afterimages to confuse an opponent.
 
 
:*'''Enhanced Spiritual Power:''' In Bankai his already immense spiritual energy has grandly and explosively increased, and now has a deep black spiritual energy with a dark green outline. After his Jinzen training, both Shinigami and Humans have become unable to feel his reiatsu unless he voluntarily lowers his level and allows them to feel it.
 
 
:*'''Enhanced Bankai Duration:''' Because his energy is compressed in Bankai, he doesn't expel as much spiritual power as other Bankai and he can remain in Bankai state longer than most Shinigami.
 
 
*'''Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō''' (''最後の月牙天衝, Final Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer''): [[File:Dyan's_Final_Getsuga.jpg|thumb|Dyan's appearance during the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō]] By using this technique, Dyan becomes '''the Getsuga''' (''月牙, Moon Fang'') itself. It is referred to as the “Final” Getsuga Tenshō because if Dyan used it, he would lose all of his Shinigami powers. For the duration of the ability, Dyan’s hair turns purplish-black, and becomes waist-length. Green bandages form around his body, tightly wrapped around his torso, right arm, and face, ending just beneath his eyes. The remains of a tattered black cloak cover his lower body. In this form, Dyan’s body constantly emits black reiatsu with a green outline (though it's white during the technique's initiation), most of which is focused around his right arm. Being in this form allows Dyan to use '''Mugetsu'''; once it is used, the transformation dissipates and Dyan's powers will seal. This effect has been overridden by the [[Tentōhari]].
 
[[File:Mugetsu.jpg|thumb|Dyan's Mugetsu]]
 
 
::'''Mugetsu''' (''無月, Moonless Sky''): Dyan seemingly generates a blade of dark black energy out of thin air, and grabs it. Doing so brings forth a massive veil of dark greenish-black spiritual energy that covers the surrounding area and darkens the sky, damaging anything caught within the darkness. The energy then recedes, dissipating into the sky.

=== Hollowfication ===
 
Dyan possesses Hollow Powers and as such possesses an [[Hollow Dyan|Inner Hollow]]. He is very proficient with his powers, being able to use Cero, Bala, and Sonido, and has been called by [[Kin Arashi|his sister]] a "demi-hollow" on occasion. Exactly how he obtained Hollow Powers is unknown, as this part of his past has never been touched upon.
 
 
[[File:Dyan's_Mask.jpg|thumb|Dyan's First Hollow Mask]]
 
[[File:Dyan_Mask_ll.jpg|thumb|Dyan's Second Hollow Mask, broken]]
 
'''Hollow Mask:''' His Hollow mask takes on the form of a menacing skull mask with two thick red stripes running down each side, curving to form a diamond. To access his Hollow powers, Dyan must summon the mask onto his face, which is normally done by placing one of his hands over his face and concentrating spiritual matter on it in order to manifest the mask, summoning the mask in a "ripping" fashion. After the [[Bleach: Ketsurui: Second Hollow Supression!|second supression]] of his Inner Hollow, Dyan's mask has changed. Like his first mask, this mask has a diamond pattern, though black, and the diamond is closed and has been moved up to the forehead. Under the eyes are thick, black lines that give the appearance of tears. With the mask in place, Dyan has access to increased physical enhancements even if he shifts the position of the mask while it is on.
 
 
*'''Power Augmentation:''' While wearing the mask, Dyan's Hollow powers supplement his Shinigami powers, giving him a vast increase in both strength and speed. The explanation for this is that since Hollows boost their natural abilities by obtaining spiritual power around them, either by absorbing it in its ambient form or devouring it directly from another living being, Dyan attains power from two separate sources: that from himself (drawn using his Shinigami powers), and that from his immediate environment (drawn with the help of his Hollow powers), allowing him to draw power from both sides.
 
 
::'''Augmented Getsuga Tenshō:''' When Dyan wears his mask, the power, speed, blast area, force, and size of the Getsuga Tenshō becomes drastically augmented to the point of seriously harming a foe. While Hollowfied, he has been shown to be able to use his Getsuga Tenshō as a "rope" of sorts, using it to grip opponents and pull them in closer. How this is done is unknown.
 
 
::'''Enhanced Spiritual Power:''' While wearing the mask, the spiritual power Dyan possesses becomes even greater than before, similar in feel to that of a Hollow.
 
 
::'''Enhanced Strength:''' While wearing his mask, Dyan's strength becomes enhanced to the point where he can easily overwhelm all but the most powerful opponents with brute strength.
 
 
::'''Enhanced Speed:''' While wearing the mask, Dyan's speed increases to the point where he can overwhelm most opponents, and has been shown using Sonido.
 
 
[[File:Dyan's_Cero.jpg|thumb|Dyan's Cero causing destruction in Hueco Mundo]]
 
::'''Cero:''' Dyan displays the ability to use Cero while wearing his Hollow mask. It is fired from the masks mouth and has a wide blast radius, being able to take out (or injure) multiple opponents. His cero is emerald green.
 
 
::'''Bala:''' Dyan is also able to use a Bala. His Bala, like his Cero, is emerald green and abnormally fast.

== Relationships ==
 
=== [[Shiro Morimoto]] ===
 
Dyan's relationship with Shiro is one of competitive friendship. While in the Soul Society, despite being in different ranks, Dyan and Shiro were often sent on outside missions due to their skill and ability to work well together. As they both have defected to the World of the Living, they still remain friends, and are currently members of the organization [[Mistri]].
 
 
=== [[Ikimoshi]] ===
 
Ikimoshi takes the role of Dyan's ward, and he loves her more than anyone else. As shown during his brief scuffle with Yuuki that more than ended in his favor, Dyan doesn't take assaults or threats to the child's safety well at all, and, despite having accepted Lisette, favours Ikimoshi. During his exile, she was the first bit of company he'd had in centuries, and this caused his affection to expand even more due to the fact that it was just them for years. His love for her mixes between romantic and paternal depending on the situation.
 
 
=== [[Lisette Ienaga]] ===
 
Lisette is Dyan's "second love", introduced later in the story. While at first he found her to be a nuisance, he grew to love her as the time they spent together increased, and, since her feelings were first, he didn't want to simply leave her, to invited her to come with him. She later became his Lieutenant after she was demoted from Captain due to a punishment, Dyan selected her to keep her in check.
 
 
=== [[Nika|Nika Kazaorem]] ===
 
Dyan's relationship with Nika is peculiar. He outright states his dislike for her and openly questions her intelligence, however, like with Gai and everyone else, Nika is merely pretending to be a dolt to get on Dyan's nerves, and it succeeds, resulting in quite a bit of sanity loss when she is around him and he even questions how she manages to properly function.

Dyan Arashi (ぢおんヂオン Arashi Dyan), also called Moony (ムーニ Muni), was a Wandering Shinigami who fled the Soul Society. He possesses the same Zanpakutō as Ichigo and Kaitou Tsukikage, the Zanpakutō Zangetsu. He is now a former Shinigami masquerading as a Human, and is capable of Fullbring. He is affiliated with the group Mistri.

Sometime after regaining his Shinigami powers in the Human World, Dyan's father managed to pull a few strings and drop all charges against Dyan, gaining him a favorable position in the Soul Society. He now serves as the 5th Division Captain of the Gotei 13. His Lieutenant is Kirei Usuikikan.

Appearance

Dyan arashi by everlastingdarkness5-d59mo63

Dyan in Captain garb

Dyan bears the appearance of a boy in his late teens, with raven, dark blue-grey eyes (now red) and fair skin. He is tall and lean, with a slightly muscular build. While in the Gotei 13, he wore the traditional Shihakushō (死覇装; Garment of Dead Souls). But as a Wandering Shinigami (放浪死神 Hōrō Shinigami), he wears a loose, black and purple kimono and traditional Japanese wooden sandals (geta). Since his hair grew out during his Jinzen training, he uses it to cover his blind right eye. After obtaining a Gigai, he wears a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Fear Reaper", jeans, and ordinary sneakers.

After becoming a Captain, Dyan abandoned the hakama of the Shinigami Shihakūsho. His haori bears the record for the most heavily altered, as it doesn't resemble an haori at all, taking the form of a white longcoat with a zipped up collar that extends to his stomach before branching out into the standard haori design. The lining on the haori is lavender, the colour of the Eleventh Division. Instead of the white tabi and warajii, Dyan wears dark black boots identical to Zangetsu's. He has a green strap over his back, which holster's Zangetsu.

Personality

Dyan is a somewhat quiet young man; who seems disinterested in the affairs of others; although regularly, he will help out with people with strong blood ties due to sense of duty; though this does manage to irk him. Additionally, he seems aloof and distrusting of most new people, and others who aren't in his good books. He prefers to sit back and read most of the time; enjoying not doing anything exhausting. Despite his athletic build, Dyan does not enjoy exercise in any shape of form; but when it comes to the art of battle, he loves to train, to the point that he becomes extremely annoyed when somebody implies that training and exercise are even slightly similar. Lastly, Dyan is infamously stubborn and does not like being told what to do—extremely indifferent to correction, though he has shown willingness to adapt if people he cares about ask him to do so.

However, underneath all of this, Dyan is an extremely loyal and kind young man to his closest friends—turning his frown upside-down and smiling around them; being incredibly cheerful and hyperactive in their presence. He will go to any length to ensure that they are safe; becoming incredibly worried when he thinks that they are in any danger. His friends have noted him to be a "completely different person"; as compared to his everyday personality when not around him—his cheerfulness, kindness, and jovial personality is very much respected and cherished by his friends.

Amusingly, Dyan seems to be somewhat unintelligent; as shown in his interactions with Zangetsu; but in reality, he merely has a straightforward mind, and often tackles issues with a "hands on" approach—he can think intelligently, but most of the time, he feels as if he does not need to until the proper situation arises. He enjoys a good scrap now and then; though he will only enjoy a challenge and not see it as a matter of life or death if nothing is on the line. His love of fighting has allowed him to develop a rather strategic mind which is not so apparent at first glance, helping him to, on various occasions, find weaknesses in his opponent's techniques, or simply weaknesses his opponent's themselves possess. Outside of battle, he can be quite perceptive in regards to his friends, knowing exactly what to do when something is troubling one of them.

Dyan has a certain fondness reading books, be it manga or novels; it is said that his favourite genre is fantasy; in his childhood, he had a taste for mystery novels, enjoying the interesting twists within them most of the time. However, it should be noted that he prefers manga more due to the illustrations, with his favourite genres being the harem genre and shōnen; though he has shown dissatisfaction with the latter as of late due to sloppy writing; the stories he writes with his best friend are far superior to them. Dyan has a not-so-hidden perverted side to him; actually fantasizing about his significant other right to her face—oddly enough, she does not seem to mind; but he does take care to hide his dirty magazines from her in order to avoid suffering her wrath. Additionally, when it comes to the technology of the human world; he enjoys video, as in the old-fashioned VCR-type, and the internet; admitting to spending a fair bit of time on the latter, browsing certain suspicious sites, which is a running gag.

History

Dyan was born into the Rukongai (流魂街 wandering soul city) originally under the name Nagi Arashi, though upon entering the Shinō Academy he changed it. Dyan was born blind in his right eye, an affliction no one else in his family shared. He was born in the first district, Junrinan and grew up living a solitary life with his parents and sister, usually reading or drawing, which were his favorite hobbies as a young child. As he grew older, he learned that he had high spiritual power, and even before he entered the Shinō Academy, he began learning to use his powers, typically for personal gain, like getting food and other such necessities, but he would also use them for amusement, which ranged from creating various colored lights, to attacking small animals and other children. During whatever free time he had, he enjoyed spending it with his sister.

He entered the Shinō Academy at a young age (by Soul Society standards) around the same time as his sister, and it was there he changed his name from Nagi to Dyan. In his classes, despite his high marks in the practical courses, in actual studying courses, Dyan often daydreamed and was scolded by his teachers for it. In the Academy he learned her had a knack for Kidō, possibly due to his use of his spiritual power as a young child. He graduated without ever learning his Zanpakuto's name and was admitted into the 11th division, where he could express his love of fighting.

During a mission in the World of the Living, Dyan was attacked by a Gillian Level Arrancar. In a futile battle against it, he was nearly killed. When the Arrancar could finish the blow with a Cero, Zangetsu appeared before Dyan. He asked Dyan if he had lost his will to fight, and if he really intended to die there. Dyan did not know who he was, and at first did not answer. Zangetsu turned to leave, saying if Dyan would not speak then it meant he could not decide. Dyan cried out he wanted to live, and Zangetsu told him to call out his name. He released his Zanpakutō, the blade becoming the glorious Black and Whit cleaver that it's Shikai is, and sliced the Arrancar in half with one blow. He fainted however, and awoke in the Central 46 chamber. The Central 46 did not approve of his Zanpakutō, but were willing to let it go when they realized that it's original possessor was human. When Dyan picked up Zangetsu and turned to leave however, a Shinigami rushed into the chamber and told the Central 46 that another Shinigami possessed Zangetsu before Dyan was born, a man by the name of Kaitou Tsukikage. Dyan realized what this might mean, and in desperation, released a huge Getsuga Tenshō attack on the Central 46, injuring them all and demolishing the chamber. He fled from the Soul Society to the World of the Living, and even though he now knew others possessed the same Zanpakutō as he, Dyan vowed not to let anyone take away his Zangetsu, and devoted his life to training and becoming stronger.

Powers and Abilities

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Dyan is quite naturally skilled in Swordmanship, coming from the 11th Division, which prizes Swordsmanship skill and willingness to fight above all else. When in battle, Dyan typically uses his Zanpakutō, as his primary mode of battle. He has been shown on various occasions to be able to match a Captain-level opponent blow for blow with his sword and can be considered a swordsmanship specialist.

Scythe Specialist: Upon gaining a Fullbring and when he regained his Shinigami powers, Dyan became the user of a scythe. While not versed in any particular techniques, he has become skilled to wield his weapons decently.
Gengetsu no mai (弦月の舞 Dance of the Crescent Moon): Combining Dyan's speed with his swordsmanship skill, he charges at the opponent, moving in a peculiar pattern. While the enemy is distracted by his movements, Dyan takes to their back, cutting them cleanly in half.
Gobōsei no Ken (五芒星の剣, "Pentagram Sword"): Channeling spiritual energy into Zangetsu, Dyan performs a series of five slashes at blistering speeds in a pattern that resembles a star. Because of the speed that he swings his blade, it seems as if Dyan has unleashed these blows concurrently, enabling them to all impact upon the foe's body at the same time. The slashes close on the enemy from all sides to create a prison, allowing no chance for defense or evasion. It should be noted that if his foe deflects one, then the others will surely hit, and due to the close range, if the opponent attempts to escape, Dyan's blade will quickly cut them down. However, during the process of slashing, a small opening is revealed for those with trained eyes: a tiny opening between his right arm and waist.
Ken'atsu ( ケン篤, Lit "Pressure of the sword") A move Dyan picked up during his training, this move is basically the air/power moved by the sword just by cutting through the air.
Kuzuryūsen (九頭龍閃, "Nine-Headed Dragon Strike"): An original Zanjutsu technique developed by Eimi, passed down to Dyan. While it is meant to be used as sword technique, she had developed it to the point that she can adapt and change how it appears depending on the circumstances of its use, such as a defending attack, a medium-to-long range attack, and an area-of-effect ability. Despite the great range of uses, Kuzuryūsen is activated by infusing Dyan's reiatsu into his Zanpakutō, forcing a series of high-frequency vibrations to start in his blade in order to increase the cutting effectiveness of his blade drastically, also making his strikes difficult to block and counter. This results in the Zanpakutō emitting a "humming" noise, and the blade of his weapon visibly blurring. It should be noted, that Zangetsu emits a mystical light while undulating. Dashing forward, Dyan unleashes a single slash; due to the vibrations of the blade, it targets and simultaneously strikes his foe in several spots at high speeds.

Flash Step Expert: Dyan has shown himself to be highly proficient in Flash Steps, being able to keep up with Captain-level Shinigami. In Bankai, his speed increases to the point where he can create afterimages of himself uses Flash Step. Since regaining his Shinigami powers, his speed has only increased.

Dyan's Reiatsu Summoning Menos

Dyan's Reiatsu allowing the use of Sublevación

Immense Spiritual Power: Dyan has a considerably large amount of spiritual power, and due to this, his Zanpakutō is always in it's release state. Dyan is capable of using raw Spiritual Energy as a shield against attacks, when he creates a spiritual aura of energy, he can use it as an attack, creating whips (some would call them tails) of spiritual pressure to attack. Due to the sheer amount of Spiritual Energy, Dyan is capable of fighting battles for extended periods of time without tiring and can pull off many large scale attacks with energy to spare. His spiritual energy is light green-white in Shikai mode and black with a green outline in Bankai. Dyan has great skill in detecting spiritual pressure as well, due to the need to avoid getting attack on his right side, his blind spot. His Spiritual Power as a Visored was dual-typed, being Hollow and Shinigami, and after regaining his Shinigami powers, it's still noted to be dark.

Sublevación (すぶればしおん (虚採集) Suburebasion, Spanish for "Uprising", Japanese for "Hollow Gathering") is a technique Dyan developed. He releases a large amount of energy with the intent on drawing in Hollows, and with it is able to call on Menos from Hueco Mundo, which he can use to fight other opponents.

Kidō Expert:One of Dyan's greatest skills is in Kidō. He possesses spells for healing, binding and destruction, destruction being his preferred choice of spell. In the Academy, his highest grades were in Kidō. However, he was placed in the 11th Division due to his own admission, and therefore stopped progressing with Kidō due to the nature of the division. After he defected from the Soul Society however, he began to hone his skills in Kidō, progressing to a level of skill directly above expert, but not quite Master level.

Dyan's Cero 1

Dyan charging Cero

  • Cero: Due to once having had Hollow powers, Dyan has enough memory to emulate a Cero. Dyan's Cero forms uniquely in his palm as a sphere, with energy crackling out on each side. The Cero is emerald coloured and possesses the power to rival a Gran Rey Cero in it's base form.

Hakuda Expert: Coming from a battle loving Squad, Dyan is also proficient in Hand-To-Hand combat, capable of beating down several Shinigami with little no no effort, and possesses great skill in dodging.

Zanpakutō

Zangetsu redirects here. For the manifested form of Dyan's Zanpakutō, please see: Zangetsu.

Dyan Arashi wielding Zangetsu upon regaining his powers

Zangetsu in Shikai after Dyan regains his Shinigami powers

Zangetsu (斬月 Slaying Moon): After regaining his Shinigami powers, Dyan's Zangetsu once again underwent change. His own Shihakusho now resembles Tensa Zangetsu's Bankai outfit with similarities to the sleeveless kosode worn by members of the Ninth Division of the Gotei 13. He has a thicker strap across his chest, and instead of waraji and tabi, he wears dark black boots, similar to Tensa Zangetsu. The biggest change however, is Zangetsu itself. In it's original state, it was an elegant cleaver as tall as Dyan himself, and it later transformed into a mass of untamed reiatsu around his arm. Zangetsu now takes the form of a scythe, resembling a combination of Zangetsu and Dyan's Fullbring weapon. The pole to the scythe is a shade of green, and the scythe itself has a black blade with a silver edge, though it has a noticeable red tint. Dyan says that is is easier to work with Zangetsu in it's scythe state, because the shape makes it seem as if it is designed to "slay" as the name implies.

Shikai Special Ability: Zangetsu is largely used for melee combat but possesses one known special ability.
2ecn5mo

Dyan's Getsuga Tenshō in Shikai

  • Getsuga Tenshō (月牙天衝 Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer): At the instant of the slash Zangetsu absorbs his spiritual energy and releases highly condensed spiritual energy at the tip of the blade. Magnifying the slash attack and then flies forward. This slash takes the form of a light green crescent moon or in the shape of a wave. Getsuga Tenshō is a powerful technique with great force, capable of causing large scale damage. Dyan appears to be talented in the use of the Getsuga Tenshō, deriving several other attacks from it. Unlike Ichigo's attack which is bright blue, Dyan's is a very light green. After Dyan regains his Shinigami powers, his Getsuga Tenshō is shown to be noticeably larger and more powerful in its Shikai form than it was before his powers were stolen.
Getsuga Soshaku (月牙一口 Moon Fang Bite): Should a Getsuga that Dyan has used be deflected, he can use this ability to "influence" the remaining energy shards to bombard the opponent before they give out. The damage itself is not major, but Dyan can manipulate the remaining Getsuga energy in anyway he pleases.
  • Shōgetsu (障害月影, Impediment Moon) An new attack first displayed by Zangetsu during Dyan's Jinzen training and later learned by Dyan. When used, energy envelops the blade and the Dyan swings it forward, unleashing a blast of energy that circles around the target when it hits, creating a round spiraling cage of green energy that traps the opponent. While easy to shatter from the outside, it is difficult to escape from the inside.
Tensa Zangetsu's new appearance

Tensa Zangetsu, after Dyan regains his Shinigami powers

  • Bankai: Tensa Zangetsu (天鎖斬月, Heaven Chain Slaying Moon): is the name of Dyan's Bankai. Dyan, after initiating Bankai, takes a form similar to a stereotypical grim reaper. He wears a black shikahusho similar to Zangetsu’s previous Shikahusho, albeit with green cross-like markings on his abdominal and forearm sections, with a green tassle of rope hanging from his shoulder, and bandages surrounding his arms. His hands also have unusual black stripes on them, and the shikahusho, like it was previously, is tattered and ragged at the ends. Dyan's eyes become white with black sclera, he gains green markings on his face, and his hair becomes a white colouration. Finally, his scythe is far larger, with circular like patterns at the blade of the scythe, where he is able to behead opponents if he wishes.
Bankai Special Ability: Tensa Zangetsu, much like its Shikai form, is used heavily for melee combat, but also possess a certain special ability.
  • Ultra-Speed Combat: Dyan takes all the power of his Bankai and compresses it into an extremely small, hyper-condensed form. Then, he uses the power of the Bankai to perform astoundingly high-speed combat. With his new speed, he can create afterimages of himself to confuse opponents. However, there are limits to how far he can go, if he pushes himself to far, his bones will begin to crack.
Dyan Bankai getsuga

Enhanced Getsuga Tenshō (Kuroi Getsuga)

  • Enhanced Getsuga Tenshō: Tensa Zangetsu retains the use of Getsuga Tenshō and can be used in the same manners, but can be used in an enhanced form. When used in Bankai, these potent blasts are black with a green outline and their path can be controlled, with explosively augmented power and speed. Dyan can also keep Getsuga Tenshō within Tensa Zangetsu to augment his scythe swings.
  • Getsurame (黒月影雨 Black Moon Rain): Usable only in Bankai, Dyan slashes his blade up at the sky, releasing a large blast of black needle-like rods of energy into the sky. Swinging his blade down, the rods rain down on the opponent, piercing them in various places. Dyan can create a maximum of 100 of these, and has limited control over them. The less he creates, the easier they are to control.
  • Kujogetsu (駆除月影 Extermination Moon): Dyan fires a massive amount of reiatsu into the air and it forms a large, floating orb of Getsuga Reiatsu, similar in appearance to a large, full moon. Calling out the attack's name. he swing's his blade down. The orb immediately bursts, splitting into multiple light green "meteors" which rain down onto the opponent. These meteors seem to "home in" on Dyan's target, and cease only when the blast(s) hit something else.
Dyan's use of Meigetsu

Meigetsu in play

  • Meigetsu (名月 Harvest Moon): A defensive Getsuga technique, Dyan releases a compressed Getsuga Tenshō to collide with an oncoming offensive attack, be it spiritual or physical, and it provides a solid, protective barrier that is difficult to break for anyone under Dyan's own level of power. The shield, despite being powerful, is not long-lasting, as Getsuga Tenshō is not meant to be an attack that defends, but rather a technique with high offensive properties. Dyan found a variant use for this technique however, a non-lethal attack, one that can be both a distraction or a way to incapacitate opponents that need to be taken alive, by simply releasing the shield at close range, using it as a solid method of attack.
  • Ugetsu (雨月, Unable To See The Moon Because Of Rain): Ugetsu is the most powerful attach sans Mugetsu that is available to Dyan. It is formed by firing a massive Getsuga Tenshō at full-power into the skies, which halts right above the area of it's initiator's spiritual energy range. At that point, all sources of reishi are collected by the Getsuga technique, no matter the size or density of the spiritual energy. As more gathers, the size of the Getsuga in the skies grows into a large black moon which blocks out the sun. Any beings that are made of reishi that come into contact with the technique are either sucked in, effectively strengthening the technique overall, or completely decimates said target. It is unknown exactly how to stop the technique, but it has been noted that only by killing the user of the technique can stop Ugetsu. However, it has also been said that if one can stop the Getsuga Tenshō from collecting enough reishi, it is theoretically possible to stop it before it gets too powerful.
  • Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō (最後の月牙天衝, Final Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer):
    Dyan's Final Getsuga

    Dyan's appearance during the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshō

    By using this technique, Dyan becomes the Getsuga (月牙, Moon Fang) itself. It is referred to as the “Final” Getsuga Tenshō because if Dyan used it, he would lose all of his Shinigami powers. For the duration of the ability, Dyan’s hair turns purplish-black, and becomes waist-length. Green bandages form around his body, tightly wrapped around his torso, right arm, and face, ending just beneath his eyes. The remains of a tattered black cloak cover his lower body. In this form, Dyan’s body constantly emits black reiatsu with a green outline (though it's white during the technique's initiation), most of which is focused around his right arm. Being in this form allows Dyan to use Mugetsu; once it is used, the transformation dissipates and Dyan's powers will seal.
Mugetsu (無月, Moonless Sky): Dyan seemingly generates a blade of dark black energy out of thin air, and grabs it. Doing so brings forth a massive veil of dark greenish-black spiritual energy that covers the surrounding area and darkens the sky, damaging anything caught within the darkness. The energy then recedes, dissipating into the sky.
