[hider=For the GMs to review]

**Note: None of these skills are Squad 11 exclusive. Kenshin can teach them to anyone he wishes. Though, there may be trials and tribulations attributed to each skills in terms of learning them. **
Ryukiri: The sword is sheathed, and the user draws it, using the sheath to provide resistance and “flick” the sword as he quickdraws, performing a swift and powerful slash. 

Samidare: If a slashing attack is evaded, and the opponent has increased the distance, the moment the tip of the slashing sword points at him, jump forward and deliver a thrust powered by your momentum. 

Swordflick slash: By holding his sword arm stable, using his other arm, he applies the same principles as finger flick to unleash a sword slash of great force.

Flowing Sword:While holding his sword with both hands, and while moving it for a slash, he changes the position of the two hands on the hilt, and changes the course of the slash unpredictably.

Wrist slash: When blocking a sword, the user circles his blade around the opponent's, in a way that his own blade ends up in the inner side. Then, he swiftly slashes the opponent's wrist that holds the sword, reducing his sword skill significantly.

Ryusen: When executing a thrust with a sword, the user rotates his axis of gravity, adding a rotational force to the thrust, adding extreme piercing power and damage.

Kurodensen: When approaching an enemy, the user leans as close to the ground as possible. When the user is nearly parallel to the ground, they kick off with the back foot, dashing forward at a normally unachievable speed. Expert users can add shunpo to this skill, achieving god-like speed.

The next skills are attributed to a great friend.

Daini: Aragari (The Second: One Step, Sudden Death) Placing the sheathed sword upright and listening to the "heartbeat" of his opponent, the attack rapidly unsheathes, attacks, and sheaths the sword. This technique is done with incredible precision and speed, as the user cuts down the opponent in a matter of seconds

Daisan: Kamikaze ( "The Third: Divine Wind") Utilizing swift footwork, as well as pin-point movements, the user strikes their opponents many times in quick, rapid succession; striking with enough force to create wind swirls upon his blades edge. These wind swirls then lacerate the target brutally.

Daishi: Afurete ("The Fourth: Overflowing") A technique which incorporates the fundamental practices of Zanjutsu, quick movement and fine spiritual control. Before the technique even takes place the user channels large quantities of their spiritual energy into their zanpakutō, causing it to glow in the color unique to the owner. Daishi: Afurete then uses a swift movement to move to the opponents back, which is immediately followed by a backwards pierce at extreme speeds. The energy is then released as an overwhelming wave of pure spiritual force that takes the form of a shockwave. Should the users spiritual power be aligned to a specific element, such as fire, then the wave becomes a pillar of flames.

Daigo: Hasshin ("The Fifth: Eruption") A technique where the user makes a deep slash across an opponents mid-rift, packed with their spiritual energy, which possesses extreme cutting power. This spiritual energy acts to part the opponents, making Hierro and hardened skin, all but useless against it. Seconds following the initial strike, blood erupts from the wound, hence the name.

Dairoku: Gyaku Karasu ("The Sixth: Reverse Raven') The user quickly gest behind their opponent and then quickly doing a reverse spin hitting their opponent with the edge of the sword, slicing into them with an accurate and rapid slash.


Dashichi: Sayagi ("The Seventh: Scabbard Art") This technique requires fine levels of manipulation over one’s spiritual power, in which they channel their spiritual power through the hilt and externally surrounding the scabbard of their blade. Once achieved, the user then condenses this spiritual power to a very thin layer of energy which possesses notable cutting potential; a result of constant rotation of the spiritual energy. The user then makes a single arc motion with their sheath, combined with an exceptionally skilled swordsman; one can inflict several injuries in a single motion with this technique. However; it should be noted that the cutting potential of the technique is limited to causing incapacitation, as this is essentially a “peace-keeping” technique.


Dahachi: Kokunagare ("The Eighth: Cutting Flow") A very powerful and old fashioned technique that focuses on mastery of Iaido. Precise and strong, the user firmly whips their sword toward the foe in a upward swinging motion. As this move is conducted, a large concentration of spiritual energy is focused to the wrist. This allows the wrist to "snap" in any direction, sending a linear blast in the direction of the swing. This adds momentum which consequentially increases the strength of the overall slice. If connection is made, this move will literally slice straight through the foe, lacerating whatever may remain of the body. This move has many applications: the applications include, thrusting the blade forth to impale the foe, and if not struck then it will fire a spiritual beam in a linear direction. On another note, it can also be used in a defensive manner to weaken an incoming attack. This move is notably stronger then Hitotsume: Nadegiri.


Daikyu: Onigiri ("The Ninth: Demon Sword") This is a technique that requires a very high level of control over one's spiritual power, as the basis of the technique is a very fine manipulation of the user's reiryoku. The essence of the technique is to coat the edge of one's zanpakutō in an exceedingly fine layer of condensed reiryoku, greatly increasing the blade's cutting power. The fine layer of reiryoku surrounding the blade's edge now acts as its cutting edge and is so sharp that it can cut through almost anything. The potency of the technique increases with one's proficiency with manipulating their reiryoku reserves -- the finer the reiryoku layer surrounding the blade's edge, the greater its cutting power. It can even cut a Zanpakuto.

Shinshi No Kaze

The user, using their own body as a tilting axis, twists and turns while holding out their sword, delivering many consecutive slashes. the efficiency of this skill increase if the user is able to use two swords as it allows them to deliver more slashes in the same amount of time or spins

Daibutsu Otoshi

Using the upwards momentum of a swing, the user is carried into the air, then, at that point, the user executes a downwards swing, fueled and amplified by their height.


Same Hitonomi (Shark Bite) - The user first assumes a wide stance; holding their weapon by their shoulder (point or whatever pointing towards the enemy) with one hand, the other near the end of the weapon. It consists of a forward thrust, followed immediately by a lightning quick slash in whatever direction the target moves. 

( A bit like a reverse Samidare. Instead of slash turned to a thrust, now a thrust that if avoided, turns into a slash, imitating a shark's sharp turn to bite a victim that shortly fled from before the shark )

Konpekishoryuzan

The water user, does a upward swing, bringing a torrent of water with them and when the swing is finished, the torrent of water hits the opponent, twisting upwards using the opponent's body as a pillar to rotate around, causing more damage. (Inspired by Soryuken *chuckles*)


Hana no Ido, Ki no Setusoku

The user, using shunpo, moves at their opponent in a thrust position with their sword in front of them. Once they get close enough, they fire a torrent of reiatsu (water for me) in a sword form, letting the momentum from shunpo take over and shoots it at their opponent, while the user changes direction and shunpo to the back of their opponent and does a physical thrust to pierce.

Sinlinbunkatsu

The user coats his sword in Reiatsu, then causes it to vibrate, the vibration causing a saw-like effect. Greatly enhances cutting power, but reduces the precision of the strike, because of the violent vibrations.


Kujira Shōgeki

A technique that mimics the motion of a whale's tail that rises above the ocean and then crashes back onto it. While lacking speed like other techniques, this technique has been noted to be exceptionally powerful. A technique involving a light upward slash, following a demolishing slash downward , the force of which was able to create a giant crater and destroy the surrounding buildings.


Kogimasu no hoo ni Sukui (the Oar that Rows Towards Salvation): 

A dangerous Zanjutsu technique that requires a truly mammoth amount of water and tremendous spiritual power, the Kogimasu no hoo ni Sukui begins with the user gathering large amounts of water into and around the blade, then swinging his Zanpakutō like an oar, with the broad, flat side bracing against the fighting wind. Threads of visible Reiatsu--in his case, white tinted energy--trail behind the weapon and filter off into the massive vacuum created in the wake of the rapid movement. This void is produced so quickly that the air does not have time to collapse back in on itself until a full one hundred eighty degree arc has been completed. Once it has, the atmosphere instantly refills the empty space with outstanding speed, backed by the incredible infusion of power that the Captain's Reiatsu brings. The result is a concussive expansion of energy that spills forward with the appearance and subtlety of a white tidal wave, disintegrating whatever stands in its way until all of its legendary power is expended. This technique is strong enough to single-handedly level a few city but it’s quite taxing on one’s arm and Reiatsu.
