Zanpakuto Spirit Appearance:
- Spoiler:
(No Horse)
Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: Kumori is a very wise and serious zanpakuto, the exact opposite of Naraga's hollow. Kumori acts as Naraga's consience and gives very helpful advise. He grows annoyed if his advice is ignored and he is always at odds with Naraga's hollow. He is also very modest like Naraga unless he is underestimated by an opponent in which he become horrifically enraged and goes full power without Naraga's command. Kumori is usually quiet and only talks when needed.
Release Phrase: Show him/her/them fear, Kumori!
Family: Shadow, Poison
Level: Bankai
Sealed Zanpakuto: It is a black and white wrist gautlet with a fingerless glove attached and a blade that extends from the top of the wrist that is about 10 1/2 inches long. The gautlet cover most of Naraga's forearm.
Shikai: Dual wrist gautlets with fingerless gloves, spiked knuckles, and spikes extending from the outside of the gautlets up to Naraga's elbows, where a large spike extends from the elbows. The blades extend from the top of his wrists and the blades are now longer at 12 1/2 inches. The blades can also be launched from the gautlets with a chain that pulls the blades back.
Shikai Ability: One stuck by it's blade begins to feel, an uncontrollable sense of dread, and death. As the effects of the poison spreads throughout the struck limb the individual begins to lose all feeling within that spot, and to them the limb itself is fading away. Causing demobilization, and instability in that person. Only two limbs can be effected by this ability.
Bankai: Two identical scythes 7 1/2 ft. long each and blades about 5 ft. long with Naraga's signature black reiastu surrounding them, getting darker as it reaches the blades. It also shrouds Naraga, now hooded in torn pitch black robes with bone wings appearing from his back shrouded in his black spirit energy, in his own reiatsu. When using his hollow mask, Naraga uses it as his face due to his reiatsu shrouding his face within his dark hood.

(No Ribbons on the Scythe)
Bankai Release Phrase: Death by Bankai.
Bankai Ability: Kumori now strikes with a lethal dose of toxins created from his reiastu. Each strike injects a small amount into the body from his scythes and wings should they attack draw blood, slowly causing the enemy to hallucinate, and sends the nervous system into a state of temporary confusion: Making the enemy's response times, and reaction times diluted.
Techniques: Shadows of the Soul (Shikai and Bankai)- creates an illusion of the targets greatest fear that "attacks" them creating a distraction and can kill through cardiac arrest. Survivors of the attack are immune to this attack afterward.

Black Aura (Shikai and Bankai): When night or in immense shade, Naraga is capable of melting into the shadows making him almost completely invisible.

Shadow Rift (Bankai Only): Naraga builds up enough spiritual energy into his scythes then uses it to tear a portal that enhales his enemies. The rift takes them to the void which erodes at their spiritual energy which they feel as direct pain. Then it spits them back out. (Naraga is what is keeping the rift open. If Naraga is hit while in this state the portal will close.)
