Kaze no Tori Yari (Shou's Zanpakuto)

Name: Kaze no Tori Yari (Wind God Spear)

Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance: A huge, golden bird, seemingly a mix between an eagle and a falcon, large enough to block out the sun if it were to come out into the Real World.

Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: A wise old bird, careful but friendly, Kaze no Tori Yari is one of the more calm Zanpakuto Spirits. He is eager to fight when presented the opportunity to do so, but other than that he is very much like Shou himself – smiling, relaxed, yet expecting others to work fast and efficiently.

Release Phrase: Henka no kaze ga, watashi no teki o tsubusu! (Winds of change, crush my enemy!)

Family: Shape and Flexibility Manipulation/ Wind

Level: Shikai

Sealed Zanpakuto: Perfect for assassinations, the sealed state of Kaze no Tori Yari is a wakizashi, about 25 millimetres thicker than average. This allows it to be much sturdier than it's appearance would have one think.

Shikai:

Spoiler:

An 8 foot spear, with red decoration.

Shikai Ability: Kaze no Tori Yari has the innate ability to change its shape and flexibility at Shou's wish. It can bend and twist at a moments notice, making it much more unpredictable to fight against than a normal spear. It can take any shape, but it is unable to grow longer, thicker, thinner or shorter (basically, it can just act like a hot metal pipe, bending and twisting it is easy, and can be done freely). Also, it constantly has air flowing around the spearhead, which can be fired ahead (though only about 10 centimetres (about 4 inches)) in front of the spearhead), capable of dealing minor wounds (nothing major, only deadly if it hits the neck/throat pretty much dead-on).


Techniques:
Kyokuten Chokushi (Extreme Surround Direct Stab)
By grabbing the end of the spear with both hands, and stabbing directly forward with a twisting motion (like a drill), along with letting the air around the spearhead gather density and sharpening it with reiatsu (the wind moving in a diameter of 20 centimetres, or about 8 inches), Shou stabs forward with high impact. The air around it does that if you dodge the attack within less than 8 inches, you're still wounded by the attack.
Charge: 0. Cooldown: 2 posts.

Fuuken Zanun (Cloud-Cutting Wind Fist)
Swinging the spear in a circular motion (usually horizontally), and spinning it – along with his body – around up to 4 times, Shou sends out one wave of wind pressure per swing, even cutting through stone. Each wave travels about 60 inches before dissipating.
Charge: 1 post. Cooldown: 4 posts.

After changes were made. Two wind types in the same Division. Epic.
