Kimiko's latest revision of the techniques passed down by her school has led her to understand many of their faults. She looked into the amount of spiritual energy required to execute them, the speed of their execution and what an opponent could possibly do to take advantage of them. While this was not originally planned to be the case, this study would eventually lead her towards the techniques that she had created for her own use, based off of the techniques of her school. They were still formidable techniques, the kind that would leave any opponent standing before the Captain in a pile of bloody smithereens... but they were not powerful enough. At least, she didn't think they were, not after what she had witnessed as of late. She needed to bring them to a higher stage, to a point in which they could all truly bring anything down, whether it be the most powerful of Hellions or something even greater. Thus, she found herself performing a retrospection of them in a place far away from all... and went to work.
Note: The following techniques each possess a GIF meant to be used as a visual reference. Please be aware that they may not be entirely representative of the technique's execution itself.

{Hageshī Hitonami (激しい人波, "Raging Stampede")}
Technique Name: Hageshī Hitonami (激しい人波, "Raging Stampede")
Technique Type: Zanjutsu - Hohō | Multi-Target Attack Barrage
Technique Element: None
Usable by: Shinigami, Rogue, Vizard & Beast-Clansmen
Class: 2
Technique Reiatsu Cost: 600
Technique Description and Effects
A burst of energy in the form of a vicious barrage of attacks which can be executed either with one or two blades. The user takes a deep breath before suddenly letting out a loud war cry which provides them with a sudden explosion of Spiritual Pressure. Once this is complete, they then abruptly rush towards the targets that stand before them through the use of Shunpo with vivid violence, slashing at anything that dares stand in their way during this process. Each strike delivered through this method of sheer brutality has its Speed is increased by 25 times. It is needless to say that a group of enemies which are previously completely unaware of this attack can be seen about a second latter in the diminutive form of a mere pile of cut flesh and broken bones.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses
Since it is primarily meant to be used as a rushing attack of sorts, this technique requires a level of sheer excitement or terrible anger that is not often seen among the soldiers of Gotei 13, even less so in the followers of the Nijū Kanmeki-ryu who mostly prefer to be more patient and methodical in their approach. To acquire such intense emotions on the whim only to then channel them into such an attack is not something that is easy to do in the slightest, as it can easily lead someone to lose control over their emotional state should they not possesses a Strength of Will skill or a Calm Mind skill of at least 2. It is also a tiring technique, so much so that the user must not only abide to the step technique limit per post while they are using this technique, but they can also only use it three times per thread. Any more uses can lead to the complete destruction of the bone and muscles within their arm.
Additionally, although it mostly boils down to a mere rushing attack, the fact that each target hit during the rush is hit by a Iaijutsu attack makes it so that it is imperative for anyone using this technique to possess a Iaijutsu skill and a Martial Art - Hohō skill of 2 so as to prevent any mistakes created during the attack. A Speed stat of a minimum of 500 is also required to even execute it appropriately to begin with, and it is considered to be similar to a Step technique. Therefore, it is subjected to the limit per post associated to this type.

{Hageshī Tosshin (激しい突進, "Raging Rush")}
Technique Name: Hageshī Tosshin (激しい突進, "Raging Rush")
Technique Type: Zanjutsu - Hohō | Single-Target Attack Barrage
Technique Element: None
Usable by: Shinigami, Rogue, Vizard & Beast-Clansmen
Class: 1
Technique Reiatsu Cost: 800
Technique Description and Effects
A stronger, more-focused burst of energy in the form of a vicious barrage of attacks onto a single target which can be executed either with one or two blades. The user takes a deep breath before suddenly appearing in front of a target via the use of Shunpo. Once this process has been completed, they then grab the hilt of their weapon before crouching forward and unsheathing it with a war cry booming loudly alongside her Spiritual Pressure. Shortly after this second process then ensues a multitude of strikes onto the target aimed to cut it into a thousand pieces. Each of these strikes are imbued with reiatsu via Hohō, allowing each of them to be 30x as fast as a normal sword swing. Once this avalanche of strikes is completed, one final slice is then executed to conclude it all, one fueled by 3x the Offensive Stat of the user.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses
Due to its nature, it is needless to say that it is a merciless technique, one that could perhaps be considered to downright not even be a technique to begin with. In a way, despite how one could see this barrage as a form of panic-induced fever, it is more akin to the display of a demon feasting onto its prey than an attack, one which requires a Strength of Will of 3 so as to not succumb to the sheer emotions conveyed by it. Because of this, most Shinigami - even those from the Eleventh Division - tend to not wish to learn this technique. It requires a level of excitement that cannot be reached by many, whether through sheer anger or pleasure for battle, and typically can be quite tiring if maintained for too long, so much so that the user can only use this technique three times per thread. Any more uses can lead to the complete destruction of the bone and muscles within their arm.
Additionally, although it mostly boils down to a mere rushing attack, the fact that each attack delivered is essentially an Iaijutsu strike makes it so that it is imperative for anyone using this technique to possess a Iaijutsu skill and a Hohō skill of 3 so as to prevent any mistakes created during the attack. A Speed stat of a minimum of 600 is also required to even execute it appropriately to begin with, and it is considered to be similar to a Step technique. Therefore, it is subjected to the limit per post associated to this type.

{Hageshī Hōkō (激しい咆哮, "Raging Roar")}
Technique Name: Hageshī Hōkō (激しい咆哮, "Raging Roar")
Technique Type: Zanjutsu - Hohō | Area of Effect
Technique Element: None
Usable by: Shinigami, Rogue, Vizard & Beast-Clansmen
Class: 2
Technique Reiatsu Cost: 600
Technique Description and Effects
The process of quickly slicing anything daring to be in one's personal space. The user takes a deep breath before grabbing the hilt of their weapon, then fueling it with reiatsu. Shortly after, they then let out a loud war cry in an attempt to surprise or immobilize the targets with a burst of Spiritual Pressure before then unleashing several sword swings that are each 25x faster than a normal one. Usually, this results in something almost akin to a large explosion all around the user spanning about twenty-five meters, a discharge of cuts and slices that turn lesser targets into pieces in an instant if caught off-guard.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses
As to be expected from the nature of this technique, this "slicing detonation" can be exhausting to the user to a certain degree depending on when they actually decide to use it, so much so that they can only realistically use this technique three times per thread with each use requiring a cooldown of two posts. Any more uses can lead to the complete destruction of the bone and muscles within their arm. With that in mind, it is thus preferable to only use this technique in times of absolute need, most notably whenever one is surrounded by a multitude of targets at once. Additionally, executing this technique requires a certain outburst of emotion that can only be controlled by a Strength of Will skill or a Calm Mind skill of 3. The fact that each attack delivered is essentially an Iaijutsu strike makes it so that it is also imperative for anyone using this technique to possess a Iaijutsu skill and a Hohō skill of 2 so as to prevent any mistakes created during the attack. A Speed stat of a minimum of 500 is also required to even execute it appropriately to begin with, and it is considered to be similar to a Step technique.

{Hageshī Naku (激しい泣く, "Raging Cry")}
Technique Name: Hageshī Naku (激しい泣く, "Raging Cry")
Technique Type: Zanjutsu - Hohō | Single-Target Area of Effect
Technique Element: None
Usable by: Shinigami, Rogue, Vizard & Beast-Clansmen
Class: 1
Technique Reiatsu Cost: 800
Technique Description and Effects
A mixture combining both the efficiency Hageshī Hōkō and the "ranged" property of Tsukanoma Kanmeki meant to focus the brunt of the former technique onto a single target. The user takes a deep breath before grabbing the hilt of their weapon, then fueling it with reiatsu. Shortly after, they then let out a loud war cry in an attempt to surprise or immobilize a target with a burst of Spiritual Pressure before then unleashing several sword swings that are each 30x faster than a normal one all around a single target. This is done by moving so quickly through the use of multiple Steps that the target would be unable to see the user appear before them, deliver onto them a multitude of attacks at once, then return to their previous position. Due to the concentration of this attack, this results in something almost akin to a small-scaled explosion all around the target, a discharge of cuts and slices that turn lesser targets into pieces in an instant if caught off-guard.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses
Much like Hageshī Hōkō, this technique can be exhausting to the user to a certain degree depending on when they actually decide to use it, as it requires a specific outburst of emotions that requires a minimal Strength of Will skill or a Calm Mind skill of 3. The fact that each attack delivered is essentially an Iaijutsu strike makes it so that it is also imperative for the user to possess a Iaijutsu skill and a Hohō skill of 3 so as to prevent any mistakes created during the attack. Usually, it is preferable to only use this technique in times of absolute need, seeing as the user must not only abide to the step technique limit per post while they are using it, but they also can only use it three times per thread. Any more uses can lead to the complete destruction of the bone and muscles within the user's arm. A Speed stat of a minimum of 600 is also required to even execute it appropriately to begin with. This technique is also considered to be similar to a Step technique, and so is subjected to the limit per post associated to this type.
