Zanpakuto Spirit & Inner World: A world of apparent beauty and wonder, Hanayaka's inner world is certainly one that cannot be judged wholly by its appearance. In fact, one would be unwise to do so at all, for it is indeed a mask for the true horror that lurks just beneath the surface of its false beauty. Should Misute will it, or lose her composure the world is more likely to appear as a grotesque mockery of its former beauty, the plants turning into fungal growths, the air becoming filled with spores of a sickening scent, and the very ground gaining the consistency of rancid flesh, squelching and moving underfoot. When one initially gazes upon this world it will dazzle and draw them in with its beauty, but as with any good it appears alluring only at first, before it gradually reveals those within to the sickening nature of its alien existence, revealing non-euclidean geometries, among other things. As if this were not enough already, Hanayaka's sword spirit, Misute Shingai-sha's appearance is of similar make. At first she might appear at least somewhat pleasant, though always a measure disturbing, but with the passage of time her humanoid guise can be seen to leak bodily fluids and acidic grime, smell of death, and hint at the wrongness that it attempts to hide.
While Misute Shingai-sha may initially hide its true form, it is in actuality impossible to perceive as the mortal mind is incapable of understanding its wrongness. Thus, Shingai-sha is, when without glamour, subject to shift its appearance depending on the viewer's unique perception of what is wrong in the world, down to the most basic level, and up to the most existential of concepts. Such is simply its nature.
Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: A difficult being to fathom, to say the least, Misute shingai-sha's personality shifts not only with the seasons, but with the passing of minutes or even seconds. However, there are some traits that tend to lurk within the mire of its persona and these are its unpredictability, its utter hatred of nigh everything outside of its master and counterparts, and its
insane and maddening over protectiveness in regards to Hanayaka. Despite its masters kind and gentle nature, Misute considers her the very object of perfection and purity, and while in any other scenario it would writhe at the thought of such a thing even existing in its presence, with Hana it has become obsessed and will stop at nothing to protect. Yet, its idea of protection is quite over exaggerated and seems to have been extrapolated upon a great deal, as well as warped out of proportion entirely, in fact it's almost as if Misute does not truly understand the concept.... Rather, instead of merely keeping what it considers its charge away from danger, Misute has the tendency to push Hanayaka towards conflict, whereas it will forbid or vehemently make its dislike of any and all individuals who attempt to involve themselves with Hanayaka. It is almost as if Misute considers Hana to be its possession, rather than its master and counterpart, which it very well may, but who knows, the thing is impossible to predict anyways.
Sealed State: While its shikai sports only one blade, the sealed state of Misute Shingai-sha is composed of two blades, one of which is marred with all manners of decay and misuse. The second blade is entirely dissimilar to its counterpart, though it is smaller in length, akin to a wakizashi rather than a katana. It is this blade that Hanayaka has the tendency to draw when she intends to fight without the use of her shikai. This second blade remains even when she releases her shikai, though it seems to play no role and possess no abilities of its own.
Shikai: Placing her hand on the decayed and delapidated blade of her zanpakuto, its imaculate counterpart untouched, Hanayaka pulls it mere inches from its sheath as she states, “Corrode the unseen, withhold your purity, pervade all levels...” as the third statement is spoken, she draws the blade more quickly. The more of its form is removed from its sheath, the more it begins to corrode and warp, becoming increasingly grotesque until it has morphed from the form of a katana entirely and instead shifted into what can be amounted to a writhing mass of flesh. As the transformation is completed, she calmly states its name, “...Misute Shingai-sha(
見捨て侵害者 'Forsaken Invader')”.
Note: The full name of Hanayaka's zanpakuto is Misute Shingai-sha, Kūkyo no jundo(
見捨て侵害者, 空虚の純度 'Purity of Emptiness, Forsaken Invader') however, she does not state the second half during its shikai release for some reason. In fact, she very rarely uses its full name at all. Additionally it should be noted that she has not mastered her shikai.
Abilities: Fitting to its appearance, Hanayaka's zanpakuto has mind shattering and generally sickening effects on those who remain within its half mile sphere of influence. The longer an individual is exposed to the intense aura of wrongness emitted in Misute Shingai-sha's reiatsu, as well as the excessively high, and often unheard, sound of its shrill, insidious voice the less mentally stable they will generally become. Regardless, all are influenced by this zanpakuto's terrifying intentions, gradually sending them into deeper and deeper state of paranoia, nervousness, panic, and general terror. While most animals can perceive the sound of Misute Shingai-sha most individuals with functionally human ears will be incapable of realizing that they are being exposed to the sound at all.
The longer one is affected by Misute's presence, the more difficult they become to resist and the more powerful their effects become on the minds of its victims. After roughly five minutes of exposure, most individuals will begin to experience minor hallucinations, typically depicting grotesque, shocking, or utterly terrifying images and occurrences. Beyond this, Hana's shikai is capable of altering its form and devouring organic and energetic material allowing it to increase its own size or mass respectively. Lastly, the mass of flesh that is Hana's shikai can devour non-biological matter to some degree, though it will take longer to
digest for use depending on the resistance of the material to acids.
TechniquesHen'yō suru(変容する 'Metamorphose'): Through its ability to shift its composition and shape, as well as to devour both materials and reiryoku this technique comes into being. Hen'yō suru allows Hanayaka to alter the shape, position, and composition of Misute's shikai. This means that the amorphous mass of biological matter is capable of rearranging itself into both recognizable, and unrecognizable biological shapes. In shikai this ability is however somewhat limited in nature as the mass is unable to create new organs or the like aside from those seen in most mammalian animals and several avian or reptilian ones. This generally applies to its physical characteristics as well, meaning it can only creates weapons in the form of talons, claws, or at least use the same materials to create similar biological structures. Beyond this, Misute is capable of assimilating other materials through acidic digestion after enveloping the material(s) in its fleshy mass of a body. This can give it new biological, or otherwise, material to synthesize and incorporate into its form. The general complexity of its available forms remains quite limited though.
Imawashī kyōmei(忌まわしい共鳴 'Abhorrent resonance'): Both a passive and active ability, Imawashī kyōmei is a technique that relates to the psychological effects of Hanayaka's shikai. In particular this technique allow the user to amplify or manipulate the nature and effects of the zanpakuto's frequency, thus making it possible for Hana to reduce, add, or increase its various properties. However, this active effect can only be applied when Hana or Misute is in direct or indirect contact with her. This means that she, or the mass of flesh, must be touching the individual. Conversely, Hana can enact this technique if her wakizashi is in contact with the intended victim's body or weapon respectively.
This technique's passive effect is rather simple and goes as follows. The intensity of the frequency and reiatsu's psychological effects increase or decrease directly proportional to how far away individuals are from her in relation to the half mile radius of her shikai. The closer they are the more intense the effects and the greater the speed of their onset. This technique is primarily related to the frequency emitted by Hana's zanpakuto, though it does have minor relation to the reiatsu signature as well.
Inshitsuna seishinbyō(陰湿な精神病 'Insidious psychosis'): In contrast its counterpart, Imawashī kyōmei, this technique is related almost solely to the reiatsu signature emitted by Hanayaka's zanpakuto. Rather than have to do with the intensity, Inshitsuna seishinbyō has dominance over both the long lasting consequences of exposure to her shikai as well as control over what occurs if one is directly damaged either by Hana's blade or Misute herself. In regards to damage taken from her shikai, through this technique, no matter the severity of the wound, Hana is capable of manipulating the pain instilled via any wound inflicted by the aforementioned things. If any of her reiryoku enters the body of her aggressors the effects become even more drastic, allowing her to drastically increase, or straight up manifest, pain in the body of the effected. This technique is also what allows Hanayaka, or Misute, to create and manipulate the hallucinations of those effected by the zanpakuto's core ability. Furthermore, once an individual is damaged or exposed internally to her reiryoku they become subject to the possibility of nightmares and mental manipulation by either spirit or master. This means that should either wish it they can delve into the psyche of their opponent(s) and draw forth their greatest fears or most traumatic experiences so as to better torture them and debilitate them in any given situation. Extraction of such details is easier depending on how much of her reiryoku is in their system, or how much damage she has inflicted with her shikai.
