-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Appearance-

Height/Weight: [6'1/192 lbs.]

Physical Description: [Current Appearance:

Kuroi's shoulders begin at a certain, almost egotistical seeming broadness, his body bragging just a bit about the muscularity that is visible despite the outfit that he has adorned. It is almost uncanny how those of greatest power always turn out to seem, at least to some degree, "So good looking" as an old lady reminiscing would say. Of course, there are plenty of men more attractive than Kuroi, but of course it should also be noted that there are plenty of men less attractive than Kuroi. He is certainly better off than average, however.

There was once a deep gashing scar on his back, inflicted years earlier by Adalo De-Mona in a battle. This scar of Kuroi's wass large, bursting red, and plainly there. Of many markings that faded from his body over time, this one took a long time before it faded, and it seemed that it could be there forever. Inflicted by a vicious enemy that Kuroi once met in the sands of Hueco Mundo, this scar was what represented Kuroi's rise to the top. In recent years, it has faded. After all, with strength, Kuroi's code changed too. Scars on the back are a swordsman's shame.

Kuroi's skin tone lies somewhere a bit hard to place. Pale, but not sheet white, and certainly tanned just a bit, but not quite what one would call absolutely noticeable. Perhaps, looking back, Kuroi's skin is basically like a Japanese average male's. In color, this seems to be fitting, though perhaps even the slightest tinge darker than this. Kuroi's constant exposure to wild sunlight in his human life left him with a complexion like this, though of course his lack of sunlight exposure in Hueco Mundo robbed him of a bit of tanning, as it does for most.

Kuroi's toned muscles and powerful body indicate a physical existence within his prime. The arm muscles, toned and full of "ceps" and octaves of visible power are quite clearly muscular, plainly seen even if Kuroi doesn't flex. Though, it should be noted that the true steel might becomes apparent when he flexes. He isn't so muscular that veins explode out when he flexes, as such is simply disgusting, but Kuroi is at least someone that is well endowed with his muscular body. Many of this "profession" are like this from constant battle, though not as much as Kuroi, who is the longest present Espada.

His chest is very well endowed, large and wide when one looks at his blazing strong pecks, iron and solid, powerful. Kuroi's stomach is of course toned and ground into steel, flexing or not, in a solid pack that is eight. An eight pack, as they say. His rigorous training and missions have put him into this sort of powerful muscular ability and physique. It is of course quite impressive. Were it not for his "charming" personality, certainly many girls wouldn't mind having him in bed. On the other hand, the "darker" women probably still wouldn't mind at all.

Kuroi's training regiment that brought him to said physique includes 3000 daily push-ups, 5000 daily sit-ups, 2000 daily pull-ups, 10,000 daily squats and jumping jacks both, and other exercises. To practice his swordplay, Kuroi practices his kata sequences by swinging around a large, very lengthy bench press bar with quite a few weights attached to it. Though the initial weight varies, it's noted that Kuroi typically swings around over a hundred pounds as a total. His physical strength isn't the best among the Espada, as he focused on other aspects, but it's enough for him to swing his now "light" swords very quickly.

Kuroi's head is averagely sized and shaped, with a gaunt shaping and cold, dark red eyes. His eyes are frightening even from first glance, menacing, emotionless, cold as stone or marble. The only emotion ever seen in his eyes is vague and mild interest. His feelings are absolutely hidden, and he has the eyes of a demon. Tenderness in his eyes is an improbability, and has typically only been noted towards one person existing, which could well be counted as a weakness, though according to a certain human it is a strength.

Kuroi's mouth is normal, but it bares no crinkles at all, not even slightly, which signifies that he rarely smiles. His hair is jet black, and short-medium, unruly and just growing out and thickening. It's a bit rough and fuzzy, but overall looks quite nice on him. On the other hand, when one says that he "rarely smiles", it should be considered that occasionally he gives a small, calm, confident smile as he is confident of his victory or success. Sometimes, he'll even give a wide grin for a good fight, or a good challenge. This grin of course is rare, as Kuroi seems to rarely consider things challenging.

Though in later years he has indeed learned what it is to feel hatred, and rage, he uses them from an unemotional standpoint. He uses them as tools to help magnify his aggression, and inflict pain and injury on his enemies. Essentially, Kuroi does not exactly have a particular emotion that he shows. Perhaps it is arrogance, perhaps impertinence. In reality, Kuroi does smile sometimes, but most of the time he is calm, reserved, and cold. Most of the time, he is devoid of most emotions other than things like this.

Kuroi wears dark black dress shoes, as well as black dress pants with pockets. He wears a long, white, and buttoned up khaki shirt over his torso, and over that he wears a black three button blazer suit jacket, unbuttoned. He is generally seen with his hands in his pockets. Kuroi's Zanpakuto is kept within a dark black glove that he wears over his right hand. These are special "summoning gloves", and it is a special type of silk as well. These allow him to pull his Zanpakuto out of his reiatsu, as in fact Kuroi is the only Espada capable of containing his own Zanpakuto inside of himself. He has two gloves, one on each hand, and a spare glove within the folds of his suit. His belt has slots for each Ring that he has, one Coating Ring and one Storage Ring. The storage ring contains his tiger hook sword.

Across his body Kuroi once had scars from parts of his Ressurection, which had embedded scars on him. Now however, in recent years, they have come to fade, and can no longer be seen. This is because Kuroi's power has eroded them, and he has surpassed his previous self. But, he also has other things. Directly visible around Kuroi's hollow hole, which is located on the center of his chest, is a pattern of three black stars, set in a triangular position. It isn't certain exactly what the stars are, though Kuroi himself actually knows. Nobody else has figured out what the stars mean around Kuroi's hollow hole. When asked about them, Kuroi replies with two simple words. "God's Vanity." [OOC Note: It's from the first Movie Canon, in which Kuroi took out a Dios Vacuo level Hollow.]

He is young looking, ranging from at around 24, though his age very difficult to determine. It can be assumed from his appearance and apparent age that he is in his physical prime, even though as a being he is far older then his appearance lets on. Still, one cannot deny that Kuroi is also good looking, and a significant catch to the ladies[and some of the homosexual men.] However, he has no interest in these things since he still holds the memories of pain from his human life. And, due to the general lack of emotion, any attraction that Kuroi poses tends to wither away very quickly.

Of course, being good looking is no good if one does not take advantage of it. Most will actually find Kuroi rather unappealing because of the fact that he is adamantly bordered with his unemotional face, and the monotone of cold ice that he displays. Essentially the fact that he is emotionless, cold, and negative all reflect badly on what people think of him. Then again, it doesn't matter since they are almost always constantly fearing him.

In recent years, the position of his mask fragment has changed. His mask is a white fragment going around the behind of his left ear. His hair covers it. It was once something going across his chin, but that is no longer the case. Kuroi's mask fragment actually cannot be seen unless he shows it to someone. It's almost like an ear ring that's hard to see. It is from some kind of lion-like appearance. The reality behind his changed mask fragment location is his increase in strength, which made it smaller and less noticeable. Obviously of course, his mask fragment can be seen whenever his hair moves. And part of it, pointing at the earlobe like an ear ring, can of course be caught in view by anyone.

Kuroi keeps his twin wakizashi stored in hidden pockets within his blazer, much unknown to most people. At the same time, Kuroi wears his Storage Ring on his left hand ring finger if it isn't on his belt, and this is what contains his tiger hook sword. Kuroi has numerous weapons with which he deals with an enemy, meaning that he does not immediately use his Zanpakuto. However, when he summons his Zanpakuto, it is black reiatsu that extends out of his palm, and shapes into the blade that he kills with.

Kuroi's reiatsu is predominantly black. However, it has a unique appearance. When Kuroi flares his reiatsu for dramatic effect or similar, it is swirls of black energy around his body, along with some gray and white steam, as well as black steam. On top of that, Kuroi's reiatsu seems to have some kind of dramatic "raven-like" appearance, for black ravens materialize out of his reiatsu, either made of energy, or appearing to be actual ravens, flying around him. Black feathers made of actual feather or made of reiatsu gently cascade all around Kuroi. He can even use this reiatsu as a distraction. His killing aura is unlike anything anyone has ever seen.

Also, located on the back of Kuroi's left hand, is Kuroi's calligraphically planted Espada number. He is the Segunda Espada, and so a nice calligraphic "2" is planted visibly across Kuroi's palm. This is what really makes him frightening. While it is difficult to distinguish power between the top 3, Kuroi is most certainly the strongest of the high tier Espada. None can deny this, and any of the Espada that try to reject it tend to end up dead, defeated, and utterly broken.

Former Appearances:

Adjuchas Appearance:

During his Adjuchas life, Kuroi's appearance was rather simple. With well toned muscles across his four legs, and perfectly white and flawless skin, Kuroi would always walk under the pale moonlight. His claws were sharp on all fours, and his tail was long, with spikes at the very end. His eyes never changed, and his mane was black as the sky of Hueco Mundo. During this time, Kuroi's hollow hole was located on the small of his back.

His head/face/mask was a skeletal lion, and the teeth were almost always dripping with green blood; the blood of regular hollows. However, on occasion, red blood would become visible. Arrancar did indeed fall prey to Kuroi, even when he was a mere Adjuchas. Though in his time, Kuroi looked menacing, that was nothing compared to what he eventually turned into. The eventual appearance that he developed was even more menacing.


Vasto Lorde Appearance:

As a Vasto Lorde, Kuroi looked almost god-like. He had his well toned muscles, and perfectly white skin. The mask had not changed, and it stayed completely the same. His hollow hole was located on the center of his chest, and his hands were clawed, feet as well with black fur on the ankles. Black flame patterns were constantly visible tattoo-like across Kuroi's entire body. He was truly a sight to behold.

He had his spiked tail, he kept his lion's mane. Kuroi was a Vasto Lorde of incredible power. But, there was always something different about him. Even as a Vasto Lorde, he was a bit strong for his level. One day, he woke up with a black star tattoo visible above his hollow hole. Kuroi was uncertain of what it was. He continued forwards, and eventually one more developed. These both happened after he defeated a certain enemy. Just what is Kuroi? What are the enemies he defeated?]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Personality-

Likes: [Create a list below.]

• Favorite Color |

Venom green. Kuroi seems to gain a pleasure from venom and poisons, and he associates this to his favorite color of green. It is attributed mainly to his enjoyment in metaphorically poisoning the heart and soul of others, and watching them suffer painfully.

Kuroi also just flat out enjoys watching people suffer physically, so this can also be contributed to the enjoyment that he would get from a victim convulsing at his feet as a powerful toxin makes it's way through their system and slowly destroys them.


One § Suffering - Seeing enemies suffer. This is probably because Kuroi himself has suffered through so many things throughout both of his lives, as a human, and as a hollow. Therefore, a suffering enemy is a good enemy.

Two § Water - It is tasteless, but simply pure. It is something that Hueco Mundo does not have, and thus Kuroi loves water, and would gladly lap up ever drop existing if he could, though water cannot be used to bargain with him.

Three § The Moon - Kuroi traveled for many years under Hueco Mundo's skies, the moon being his only companion. Even to this very day, Kuroi loves the moon, and it's beauty. He enjoys staring at it, something many don't really understand well.

Four § Animals - Kuroi loves and is very good with animals. Mainly, he likes their representation of what people can turn into, primitive and uncivil savages that have no minds at all.

Five § Battle - Kuroi's entire personality is based from the start off of the events of WWII that he experienced as a human. Even as a hollow these things shape him. For this reason, Kuroi loves the thrill of battle, and he loves the feeling of satisfaction that he gains when he defeats or butchers a foe.

Six § Blood - Kuroi loves the scent of blood. This goes with his love of battle, he likes the sight of blood as well, the look of it, just the thought of the crimson liquid spilling out of his foe because of wounds that he inflicted using his power, the loss of the liquid weakening his foe, and making them suffer.

Seven § Boldness - Kuroi loves seeing this in others. Boldness, the trait that allows them to defy the natural order of things, and the ability to defy the law. He loves this because it helps contribute to one of his greatest likes of all, one of the things that could well make the top spot for the thing he loves most. . .

Eight § Chaos - He loves chaos. Defying the natural order of things, offsetting the balance, turning things upside down for everyone, even himself. Chaos stimulates Kuroi, and just the sight of something chaotic, or the thought of chaos, is enough to send warmth throughout his body, and make him feel literally happy.
Nine § Dogs - Kuroi loves animals, but he especially loves dogs. Something about their obedience hiding their true and vicious nature appeals to him. If Kuroi were ever transformed from a hollow into something else, there is no doubt that he would want to be a wolf or a dog or something along the lines of canine.

Ten § Deception - Kuroi loves deceiving people. While he himself likes to receive the truth, he loves inflicting pain onto others through deception. Simply making them fall to the ground in anguish with nothing more then words and thoughts that he places into their minds makes Kuroi a very happy person.

Eleven § Staring at the sky - Kuroi loves staring at the sky. It is a random like amid all of his depressing and negative other likes, but it is just a random past time that Kuroi went through as an adjuchas and Vasto Lorde when he was wandering alone, and got tired.

Twelve § Despair - Kuroi loves the despair that some people will fear, the pain that they will experience. Kuroi is a menacing, and is an evil person. That is why, that is why despair is what he loves the most out of everything.

Thirteen § Torture - Who doesn't like to torture people? Torture is fun, it's so great. To torture someone is to rip them to shreds either mentally or physically. Or both. One way or another, it's great to torture people.

Fourteen § Miley Cyrus - This is Kuroi's deepest shame. He actually really likes Miley Cyrus. He likes her music, and he has the hots for her. Should anyone find out...Terrible things would happen...

Fifteen § Singing - He doesn't actually sing. He can sing, believe it or not! But Kuroi does not sing. He is actually very good, but chooses not to. No, the singing he likes is from girls. From women. He likes it when they can sing, and finds it beautiful when they can sing well. Not the pop stuff. He only likes Miley Cyrus for pop stuff. Soft, soothing, and gentle singing is what he likes. A beautiful voice that carries on the wind and makes everything feel calm. That's one way to actually win the Segunda Espada. Singing.

Sixteen § Li Mei - Asuka Hitotoki's Fraccion member. Kuroi seems to have developed precious feelings towards her. These are feelings of caring, and attachment. This could well be a "bond" that formed as a result of being given a lecture by Nishiru Tokoheita over bonds. In fact, as far as Li Mei is concerned, Kuroi could possibly feel more than just caring. Could it be...love?

Seventeen § Cooking - Kuroi has in recent years learned to cook. He figured it is absolutely necessary for survival. Though not among his top skills, Kuroi's ability as a chef is quite high. Though he is actually incapable of baking, being a mess at it, he does know how to cook normal food. In Las Noches, it is entirely possible, though not certain to his knowledge that he is the best cook among the Arrancar.

Eighteen § Swordsmanship - Kuroi is a swordsman. It took years to really realize that he wanted to call himself that. However, he uses blades, he is a true swordsman, and he fights with a code that allows him to be a swordsman. Of course, Kuroi isn't just any old swordsman either. He's one of the best. That's absolutely certain. Being able to do what he does, he can obviously win many blade fights.

Nineteen § Rio Demonliogalgo - He is an appropriate strength for the Quinta Espada. He is of course, as expected, far below Kuroi. On the other hand, his strength is absolutely perfect for his rank. There's no real complaint about him.

Twenty § Adalo De-Mona - A fitting Primera. Though weaker than Kuroi, this one initially demonstrated his strength on many occasions. Of all the Espada, he has given the greatest challenge to Kuroi. Adalo's ability as a swordsman was one of the things that pushed Kuroi to attempt to further his own swordsmanship even more than before.

Twenty One § Rey Diablo - Though admittedly Kuroi looks down on him just a bit for lacking a release, this one has proved his strength via his insane amount of reiatsu strength. This is something that Rey of course shares with the Exequias Leader, Shiroi Hokai.

Twenty Two § Shiroi Hokai - Same reasons as Rey Diablo.

Twenty Three § Fraccion - Kuroi's Fraccion, formerly consisting of Kouen, Nijuu, Chisoku, and Miho. Today it consists of Aimo, Marelius, and Desgarron. He handpicked all of them, and they have proven faithful to him many times. On numerous occasions, this has happened. Kuroi is quite proud of his choices. They are all strong and dependable, for the most part. Some, like Miho, have sexual issues, but all is fine.

Twenty Four § Grimoire Acero - Strong. Devastating. This man is a true test to Kuroi's strength, and a regular rival to him. There are none in this world that Kuroi would consider to truly be his equal at the same level as Grimoire.

Twenty Five § Asuka Hitotoki - Kuroi dislikes her as well. It is a like and dislike. Though he hates everything about her, she has changed him forever. It is her happy and carefree demeanor despite being an Arrancar that has truly touched Kuroi. Despite everything, she remained naive, innocent, and happy. She remained a true, good person. Really? She made Kuroi happy sometimes. She made him smile sometimes. Kuroi can never forget that. To him, Asuka is beautiful. He may despise everything about her, but he also loves everything about her.

Dislikes: [Create a list below.]

One § Love - This is the big dislike. Kuroi cannot stand seeing affection and love, because it is something that was denied to him in not just one life, but two. It is something he went without, and it is one of the largest reasons that he became a hollow in the first place. It's pretty funny that he dislikes it, as the vestiges of it are beginning to surface in his personality again.

Two § Dirty socks - They are repulsive, smelly, and they aren't fun to look at, be around, or even wear. Utterly disgusting, who DOES like them?

Three § Day Time - Kuroi loves the moon, but for that reason he hates day, because the moon isn't within view during the day time. Kuroi prefers to do everything at night.

Four § Shinigami - He hates them for exterminating hollows for doing what is in their nature, he hates them for being so unjust, and he hates them for thinking so little of the suffering of others, seeing as they live in luxury and peace in Seireitei.

Five § Waiting - Kuroi hates waiting over anything. He hates being made to wait, and he has very little patience for tedious things, such as waiting in a line, or waiting to be called somewhere, or simply waiting to take action.

Six § Hypocrites - Kuroi hates people that do things they say not to, or can't do things that they say others should and will. If someone says something, they should be able to back it up themselves, not cower like pathetic maggots and just make others do it.

Seven § Teenage girls - Kuroi retains memories of the human world, and brought a particular dislike with him. Teenage girls. He hates the drama they bring with them, the stupid immaturity, the slutty acting the "popular" ones display, and the idiotic comments. Nothing ruins Kuroi's day more than stupid teenage girls and their jealousy, overacting emotions, immaturity, stupidity, mediocrity at things that should be easy, and most of all, their tendency to overreact to everything.

Eight § Sleeping - While Kuroi enjoys resting, and taking naps, sleeping full on is something that he hates. It is the fact that he dreams that irritates him. Kuroi finds it impossible to rest when he is dreaming, and so he wakes up grouchy and full of complaints and shrewed remarks when he sleeps.

Nine § Know-It-Alls - Kuroi hates people that believe they know everything. It seems sometimes as if he knows everything when he speaks, but it only seems this way when speaking of negative subjects. People that seem to know literally everything, and spill irrelevant and sometimes even untrue facts about stuff irritates Kuroi, and causes him to find a murderous mood within himself.

Ten § Fear - Kuroi hates Fear, what more can be said? He hates cowardice, he hates people that back out on things, and he hates fear in himself, with greatly limits his power and holds him back. Fearful comrades hold him back, his own fear holds him back, fearful enemies make the battle boring.

Eleven § Weak Impressionists - People who try to force impressions and opinions onto people that are more knowledgeable and more powerful than they are. Kuroi despises these people, and simply because their messages fall short from ears when the people delivering them are unfit to give such messages. It is almost like a first grader trying to teach a college professor.

Twelve § Asuka Hitotoki - This is the Noveno Espada. She's annoying. She's nothing but a disgraceful nudist. Even though Kuroi trained her, she's really a loser. On top of that, she's MARRIED to a SHINIGAMI! She married a Shinigami! Why would she do that?! That's just stupid.

Thirteen § Cierro Muerte - The Octava Espada. He's weak, he can't fight at all, and he thinks only with his sexual desires. He's nothing but a pitiful disgrace to the Espada.

Fourteen § Magnus Wonderwizz - Not only is he weak, his visions are pitiful and ignorant. He's a fool that can't even control his own mental stability, and he's just the shame of the Arrancar and Espada both!

Fifteen § Nishiru Tokoheita - Nishiru. That disgusting human who dared to lecture Kuroi. Thus far however, he is the only man known to have truly defeated Kuroi. This is another reason that Kuroi will get even stronger. He will one day triumph over Nishiru.

Sixteen § Kouen Akarui - Kuroi's Former Fraccion, now a traitor who betrayed Las Noches for the Escudo. What more can be said other than that he is a traitor? Kuroi one day will hunt him down and destroy him.

Seventeen § Red Face - That demonic statue in Sonken Kouhai's throne room. Something about it is...unnerving.


Habits: [Create a list below.]

One § Hands in pockets - It is uncertain where he got the habit, but Kuroi tends to always put his hands in his pockets, even in battle. He can easily get them back out again, but it is something that could well get him killed.

Two § Constant Drinking - Kuroi drinks water at every single chance he ever gets. He loves it so much that he ignores his own personal dignity and just drinks like a madman when he's thirsty enough. However, he TRIES to remain dignified at least, for half the occasions.

Three § Disdain - Kuroi shows lots of disdain towards people, towards the world. He hates things, he hates the world, and he shows this with much "enthusiasm."

Four § Calling stuff trash - Kuroi has an odd habit. He calls lots of things trash. Trash this, trash that, Kuroi simply trash talks everything that can possibly come to mind. There are few things that he does not label as trash, and fewer things still that he does not dislike.

Five § Overkill - Kuroi kills too many things, and he butchers too many things. He goes overboard when facing enemies that he is allowed to kill. If his goal is just to neutralize or capture, he doesn't go TOO overboard, aside perhaps from severing all limbs of the victim.

Six § Drama - Kuroi has a flare for theater. In another life, he could well be an actor. He loves to be dramatic with his talking. He comes off as emotionless, but some of the things that he says are simply over the top roll your eyes dramatic.

Seven § Marking his victims - Every strong opponent that Kuroi defeats ends up with a hole directly over their heart. It is uncertain why Kuroi does this, but it could well be akin to a representation of turning a great warrior into a hollow, much like what happened to Kuroi.


Fears: [Create a list below.]

Above all, Kuroi fears darkness. He fears being trapped in an endless darkness, in a void so to say. And while he loves water, he has a fear of being deep underwater. He can be in some depth of water, and underwater slightly, but if he goes too deep, he will panic. Kuroi's next fear is weakness. He fears losing his power, he fears becoming weak, and he fears being weaker than someone else. Kuroi also fears someone discovering that he likes Miley Cyrus.

Kuroi fears losing Li Mei or even his Fraccion. Despite not being willing to admit it, Kuroi deeply cares about those he has forged bonds with, namely his Fraccion as well as Li Mei. Another reason he is getting stronger is in fact to keep them close and dear to him. Emotions seem to slowly be returning to Kuroi in some form at least.

Goals: [Create a list below.]

Kuroi's first goal is to find the Noveno Espada, Asuka Hitotoki. She disappeared some time ago without explanation. Along with her, her entire Fraccion, and one of Kuroi's own also disappeared. It is a goal of Kuroi's to find Asuka and perhaps even the others as well.

Kuroi's second goal is to restore Nijuu Tentei, a former Fraccion of his who lost his powers through use of Saigo No Houmen. He will seek out a way for Nijuu to regain his powers and join the forces of Las Noches once again.

His third goal is also very unrealistic. To never sleep again. Kuroi hates sleep. He'll nap of course, and he's willing to do this, but sleep is a huge negative. One day, Kuroi wishes to find a way to never have to sleep ever again as long as he lives.

A fourth goal of Kuroi's was once to travel the world. He has already traveled the world though. All of them. Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, Human World. Therefore, from what he has seen thus far, a goal of his is to get even stronger, to protect his Fraccion. On the other hand, he acknowledges that they're strong enough that he doesn't have to protect them all the time. Still. Kuroi was unable to protect all of them. Miho disappeared. Chisoku died. Nijuu lost his powers. Kouen betrayed them. Now, with his new Fraccion, Kuroi wishes to protect them all to the very best of his abilities.

His fifth goal is to become the greatest existing swordsman. Presently, if one had to consider swordsman, the top three existing in the three worlds are probably Grimoire Acero, Nishiru Tokoheita, and the one Kuroi met in the King's Gauntlet tournament, titled "The Displeased God." Kuroi is probably within the top ten swordsman, maybe even the top five. However, the top three remain out of his reach. One day, he will defeat all of these men in swordplay. He's not sure who the best is, but has bet that it might be Nishiru, who previously defeated him and his Fraccion as well.

Kuroi's sixth and final, ultimate goal, is known as world of Despair. His ultimate goal and final one is this. It is the one goal for which he strives the most. It is inspired by his time with Asuka. She taught him something valuable and important. The feeling of happiness. From Asuka, he learned it again. Then, it was taken away from him. Kuroi has therefore learned that to achieve true Despair, one first must have hope. Therefore, for now, his goal is to help Hueco Mundo to flourish. He will do everything within his power to give it beauty, grace, and dignity. It will be paradise. Hollows will no longer need to slaughter each other to survive, and will be able to happily coexist. They will be given a second chance at a new life. A happier one without so much conflict. Then, when all is well, and Hueco Mundo is paradise, Kuroi will tear down the paradise and he will destroy it all, sending them back into the harsh desert world status, and bringing everything crashing down around them. He will return things to the way that they were, the harshness and horrible conditions. This will cause them Despair. First, of course, however, he will work for the betterment of Las Noches. That is his ultimate goal thus far. Paradise within Hueco Mundo.

Flaws: [Create a list below.]

One § Arrogance - Kuroi is powerful, and believes that there is no one stronger then he is, no one that can ever defeat him or even hold a candlestick to his power. He fights with his hands in his pockets, fights with a vicious Hierro, attempts to do things with one hand without even drawing a sword. He only uses Resurrection when he is severely pressed and wounded.

Two § Being Solo - Kuroi cannot work in a team, he cannot work well with others, and he cannot possibly handle any form of followers or fraccion at all. In battle, Kuroi will end up killing anyone that dares try to assist him. Well, he does have a Fraccion, but he won't let them fight alongside him. They'll go do their own thing on his command.

Three § Hypocrisy - Kuroi hates hypocrites, but he himself is somewhat of a hypocrite. He hates overly arrogant people, but he himself is rather full of himself, though he is quite unknowing about this.

Four § Stubbornness - Kuroi is stubborn, and once a topic of argument has been started, he will not back down until proven incontrovertibly wrong. He is a vicious, and fiery person, something that could be his downfall should it get him into the bad graces of the wrong person.

Five § Disloyalty - Kuroi is disloyal to all, and is selfish. He serves only his own goals, something which helps to further make him alone. He was not alone in human life, but then again, in human life he was kind, considerate. That landed him nowhere, and so having no ties is better, since one can't be hurt if there are no ties to sever.

Six § Emotional Lack - It's not that he lacks emotions, it's that he lacks understanding of them. He doesn't know how to process them well, nor does he know well how to process social situations too much. It's rather difficult for him, after all. Though, it should be noted that while at base Kuroi seems to be evil, and probably is evil and does evil things, his goals are actually for the betterment of Hueco Mundo, and for good. He is a man of evil that happens to do good by doing evil.

Aspect of Death: [• Aspect of Death | (Despair)]

Alignment: [Lawful Evil]

Overall Personality: [Added Below]

He is a cold man that shows no emotions whatsoever on the visible surface. Inside, he is a turmoil of depression and other emotions that come as a result of his being despairing, lonely, and angry, hateful. Kuroi on the outside will show only vague or mild interest in his eyes, even when he visibly shows other emotions. It is also shown that he is interested by deeper, more philosophical things, as well as power. His main interests and likes seem to focus around things he does not have, does not have often, or is usually deprived of. Kuroi's main dislikes appear to be things that can remind him of his fears.

In pressurizing situations, Kuroi is easily calm. In battle, he keeps his cool and focuses on the situation, analyzing things while also moving and fighting on instinct. He would rather fight with one hand, and keep the other in his pocket. He believes that most opponents are super weak and thus that fighting them is a hassle, so he does not even want to use Reiatsu or draw his sword for them. However, with rare exceptions, Kuroi will lose all composure and enter into a hate filled, joy filled, and rage filled blood lust with no distinguishable one emotion, and a contorted face that reveals just how much he will enjoy the kill. His power seems to triple during this phase, though in actuality he just grows far more aggressive.

Kuroi's fear of the dark is mainly because of his fear of loneliness and isolation, and so he avoids darker places, though he never shows his fear, and will forge on ahead past his fears in the presence of others, if only to prove himself. It is pier pressure so to speak, though he regards most as his inferiors and not his piers, though he still proves things to them.

Kuroi's blood lust phase, in more detail, is something that can also pass as insanity. His eyes grow wide, his voice moves to yells, and he gains an insane, and rather creepy smile. Kuroi's teeth all the while seem bared and sharp, despite being normal. It is probably something to do with how much of a threat he poses in his blood lust, because injuries and setbacks do not phase Kuroi at all when he battles in the blood lust phase. Moreover, Kuroi is in terrible danger of getting himself killed because of the recklessness that comes with such a blood lust. In recent years, his bloodlust phase has been suppressed completely. Kuroi is able to ignore it on his own whim.

Kuroi is far, far too arrogant. I am the best, I am the strongest, none is stronger than I, I am invincible, I cannot fail. Such slogans come to him like tears to an infant. He secretly believes that despite the number of Espada he has prepared himself for, he deserves to be the undisputed ruler and King of Las Noches. Somehow, this makes Kuroi seem to have no ego, though probably because he hides most of his arrogance, until of course he meets an opponent. He believes he deserves to be King, but he doesn't want to be King. Ironic.

One of Kuroi's most central traits is a hatred of the Shinigami. If he could, he would invade and obliterate Seireitei. But, despite Kuroi's arrogance, even he knows that he is no match for all of the Captains and Shinigami of The Gotei Thirteen. Of course, Kuroi could always attempt it, and there is no doubt that he'd take out at least a few decent people, but it is unlikely that he'd get any farther than that. It is in recent years that he has learned how to give a confident smile during battle, and act more confidently than he did even before.

Also coming to Kuroi in recent years, the obvious dignity that has come with a new rank appearing. Before, Kuroi was able to give the excuse that he liked to orchestrate things from the shadows, and the darkness. But of course, now he knows that that is stupid, and foolish. To really change things, one must step into the light. Kuroi has stepped into the light now, and has begun his direct assault of everything. He doesn't have any plans of stepping down any time soon.

His confident smile still appears, though now he does have more confidence than before, and a direct charisma when it comes to the defeating of enemies. He knows that to change things, there is no reason for him to back down and slink into darkness, manipulating it from there. While once he believed it all added up, now he knows differently. It doesn't add up fast enough, nor does it do so efficiently enough. The best thing to do is to install one's mechanisms in the background, so that they work in the shadows while one is working in the light as well.

Kuroi works in the light now, destroying threats, and obviously orchestrating the power of Las Noches. But, having others installed in the shadows, Kuroi is now working on both frontiers. Quite clearly, the King of Las Noches won't be too pleased with that happens. Kuroi won't stop until he has gotten what he wants. Of course, he has no intention of becoming the King of Las Noches. The King rarely does anything, and rarely gets to act. The King has too many enemies. Kuroi will never take hold of such a spot. He will always be a follower of the King. But, he will kill a king that is too weak.

Kuroi is also starting to show new vestiges of true emotions. These vestiges include caring, and bonds. Advised by Nishiru Tokoheita to gather bonds, and challenged by Nishiru and Grimoire both and their insane strength, Kuroi has gotten stronger claiming it was for his own reasons. However, much of the time he has done it over his newfound bonds, caring, and love. Not just for his Fraccion, but for a girl named Li Mei as well. Kuroi's strength rises constantly. His improvement rate? Massive. Incalculable. Far beyond anyone else, for certain.

In light of this, Kuroi's newfound powers, attitudes, and other things have shown him the way to greatness. Against Kuroi, there are none that pose a threat anymore. No longer can a Captain from the Gotei Thirteen fight on par with Kuroi. It is an impossibility, and just does not happen. Kuroi is strong, that much is clear, obvious. No one is capable of defeating him. Not Kuroi, at any rate. And anyone that's going to try, back off or face death.


Fighting Style: [Kuroi Naito has spent the last few years honing his own abilities, and training himself to become a warrior unrivaled. He is a master, and his style is based off of numerous styles, unique, strong. He is master in four types of sword play, as well as two different martial arts. Though Kuroi does not use or wield any unique and exotic weapons, the mastery that he displays with his regular weapons does indeed signify that he has no need for exotic powers or weapons to win, and that he is simply a maelstrom of power and strength.

The first part of Kuroi's style is the way he operates. Like a machine. A machine is efficient and strong at all times. If a machine breaks, then it is obsolete. A machine is constantly running with a stamina and efficiency that a person never has, and an unbiased judgment that a person never has as well. Machines are without emotion, operating in such a way that there is no such thing as emotional clouding. There is no such thing as emotion in a machine, there is only efficiency. A machine must also do things fast, faster than if a person tries to do it.

That is Kuroi's policy as a machine. He moves with great speed, and his attacks and movements are all efficient. He does not waste energy, but he does not use too little either. Each attack serves a purpose, nothing is useless. Reiatsu should not be wasted either, for it is exceedingly difficult to regenerate it quickly. The machine-like quality provided also allows Kuroi to have absolute power over his opponents. This means that he always knows how to deal with them.

In Kuroi's case, this means that the way he gauges them also allows him to gauge what kind of energy he should be expending. This mean even entail that he toy with some people. Weaker enemies, he will not use a blade against. Those kinds of enemies will fight a Kuroi that keeps one hand in his pocket, and simply attacks and defends with one hand, not even drawing out a blade. This can frustrate enemies, cause them to miscalculate. But, worse than this, it can cause people to commit suicide because of the realization that they will not defeat Kuroi.

Kuroi's mind works like a computer since his body works like a machine. Efficient, without bias or emotion. It is always scanning and analyzing a battle emotionlessly. Kuroi gauges the threat level of an enemy, and may let them live if they are weak enough, and will never rise to his level. His computer-like mind allows him to quickly regard an entire situation in a split second, or quickly jump to quick movement, instinctively reacting to the spur of the moment. It is this function of his mind which allows him to determine the best way to attack, the best sequence or combo to use, the best way to defend, all in a split second.

The next part of Kuroi's fighting style lies in his mastery of swords. The mastery of the blade is not a thing to be taken lightly, and most never get to be a master swordsman. He uses his blade for the first style, traditional to that of a samurai. Basically what this means is that Kuroi's blade wielding follows the same type of wielding that a samurai would, except of course that Kuroi does things with a one handed grip on his sword. The mastery generally makes it hard to duel with Kuroi, and so those who try will probably meet a quick and painful end.

As swordplay requires, Kuroi has mastered numerous kata, or sequences. He can branch off from one combination of hits to another, effectively combining kata, and breaking off in the middle of a sequence to perform a different one. He has thousands of possible combinations because of his kata. Since his skill is so great, he dispatches enemies at an alarming rate. One observer noted that Kuroi cut down an enemy before he could even finish blinking. By the time the observer was halfway done blinking, the enemy was on the ground in pieces. When the blink was completed, Kuroi's sword was once more sheathed.

When fighting, Kuroi can dismantle, dismember, or completely rip apart an enemy with his sword. Now, as to how he does this, the answer is obvious. The fact that he has mastered his sword so much means that he can wield it to such a degree that if he wanted to he could combine all of his sequences and perform hundreds of movements in a relatively quick time frame. He can branch off whenever, and he can combo any of his moves and sequences whenever. What this means is that nobody really stands a chance against Kuroi when it comes down to the sword.

For this part of Kuroi's style, the majority of his attacks are slashing. This is because only an amateur stabs when an enemy is not critically injured, or weakened. When stabbing, the sword can get stuck in the enemy. Obviously, this is bad. When pulling it out, the user is open to attacks. If the user leaves behind their weapon, they have been disarmed because of their own idiocy. Therefore, stabbing is not a very good choice of attack. Slashing is much more beneficial, efficient, and wise to do. That is why Kuroi employs slashing with most of his attacks and sequences. To see him stab is very rare. Also, Kuroi has indeed crafted unfamiliar sequences to throw people off, attacking along angles and directions that confuse enemies into misinterpreting the attack. This custom part of his style is what usually allows him to score hits.

The second part of his sword based ability comes from the ability to wield daisho, with a katana and wakizashi. He rarely does this, but he has mastered the art, just in case he has to do it. Daisho translates into Big Blade, Little Blade; a style that has the user dual wield with a long sword and a short sword, Katana and Wakizashi. This opens up all sorts of combinations, but many have claimed that it is more successful to attempt two blades of similar or equal length, rather than opposing length.

When using these two blades in combination, many possibilities are opened up to Kuroi. When a single, double sided sword is wielded, possibilities close, and many movements become stabs instead of slashes. When you know where one blade is, you automatically know the position of the other. The possibilities are easy to counteract, and you can quite often beat that person fairly easily if you are experienced with the blade. But, with daisho, there are many more possibilities. The enemy does not know the position of both blades from knowing the position of one. The amount of kata sequences and various possible combinations is much higher than a single blade.

Generally, Kuroi does not favor either of the blades for attack or defense. The little blade is used for a quick jabbing stab whenever it attacks, though on occasion he does slash with it, usually to dismember his enemy. The long sword is used for rapid slashes and strikes, formed in great sequences that the enemy has a hard time fighting off. While they're being made to fight this, the small blade can simply come in and attack. It isn't the greatest thing to be facing Kuroi's daisho.

Also, the wakizashi can be used for some Arrancar means. Kuroi is capable of channeling Bala and Cero through the blade, firing them out the tip. However, several Espada can probably do this with their swords. What makes Kuroi's different is that the shape is different when this happens. He has a special technique when firing Cero out of the blade tips like that, which causes the Cero to become shaped like an enormous blade itself, capable of carving through other attacks, instead of just incinerating things. The Bala can also become a blade shape, also capable of carving things up.

The next part of Kuroi's fighting style is very similar to Daisho. This is simply dual wielding; meaning that he uses two long swords, katana blades of equal length. Much more comfortable than Daisho, now the combinations and sequences of the long sword can be used by both blades. But, better yet, the combinations can be broken off still, and Kuroi can generate brand new ones. With this, he has even more new possibilities, unique and custom ones as well. Most enemies will not live to see the sun rise again if they are victim to Kuroi using this style.

While most wield the two blades to attack from different angles at each time, Kuroi spins the blades around an enemy with intense skill. Essentially, the way Kuroi wields it means that the enemy's movement is limited, or they will get cut. It is like he wields 8 blades rather than 2, and enemies will perceive it this way. The intense speed that Kuroi has for his movement is an indication that he can flick his blades around incredibly fast. He can also scissor an enemy's weapon to break it or disarm the foe. This means that they must be careful when trying to guard against Kuroi.

The simplicity of this is that Kuroi can now break his rule of no stabbing. If he slashes someone, and they go to block, he can stab into their hand as they attempt to block. After ripping his blade out of their hand, he will have neutralized that hand. It may even be their main weapon hand, which will mean that they can no longer properly fight him on even terms. Kuroi is right handed, but he has trained his left hand well enough that he can wield his blades almost equally. He cannot wield a single blade equally between right and left, but he can wield two equally.

Kuroi has also perfected another version of his blade Cero or blade Bala technique. By shooting out of both blades at once, he uses a double version of it. By shooting the double version, Kuroi releases an enormous amount of energy. The radius with which the enemy can dodge is incredibly limited, and the block is very unlikely. It is a power that Kuroi has created over a long time. Also, the special "Deka" technique that he uses can be used with both blades also, though it is a last resorted to fire two of them at once.

The final part of Kuroi's sword wielding brings him to using a special variety of wielding, ten blades at once. The problem enemies will have with this it Kuroi's increased capability to stab, not slash. Slashes are easy to block, but with this style it is the stabs that are dominant. There are ten stabbing blades that must be blocked. Most enemies will be unable to block this, and thus they will take severe injuries with each and every launched attack. It should be noted that Kuroi can use any number of blades from one to ten. It doesn't necessarily have to be ten. It's preferred that they're all the same length, but they don't have to be.

On top of that, Kuroi's maneuvering capabilities and his speed allow him to quickly get in three or four strikes with this ten bladed style in the time it would take someone to do one or two. But, since there are ten blades with each strike, this means that the enemy is actually attempting to guard against approximately thirty or forty strikes. It is damn near impossible to guard against, which means that Kuroi will quickly finish an adversary when he uses this style of ten blades. Kuroi can also use a tiger hook sword rather well.

Next, we have one of the most brutal and lethal parts of Kuroi's entire ten bladed style. The ability to use Cero or Bala with each of the ten blades. Ten Bala or Ten Cero, shaped to blades or left normal. How is anyone supposed to be able to defend against that? It really does mean that Kuroi is one of the strongest Espada, if not the strongest, if he can fire that many Cero at once. With this kind of power, it is unlikely that even another Espada can possibly defeat Kuroi Naito.

It's also because of these powers that Kuroi has been named the greatest swordsman ever to exist in Las Noches, and maybe even the greatest ever to exist in Hueco Mundo. Forget power for a moment, Kuroi has enough skill to get rid of enemies that have great power. He doesn't even need his power to fight against the vast majority of foes, his skill is enough to dispatch almost all of them. What good is an enemy if they have no skill?

Next we come to the martial arts that Kuroi can use. The first of these is called Karatedo, Karate for short. During Kuroi's time as a human, he lived where it was required to learn it if you were in the military. As a result, he spent years studying it. By the time he died as a human, he was 8 Dan, a master unparalleled by most. To get to such a high level is an amazing feat. What's more amazing, is to be able to maintain such skill even through hollow life.

The skill followed Kuroi from death to hollow existence, where he remembered everything about this skill. Kuroi learned the capability to use the martial art proficiently with thousands, hundreds of thousands maybe, of possible combinations. The possible combinations are from all the numerous kata that Kuroi has learned and mastered. There are over one hundred kata sequences within this martial art. Kuroi is a master of about 90 of these. Each one has between 20 and 60 movements per sequence. This means that the possible combinations are incredible in number.

With this kind of skill, Kuroi knows that defeating him is nearly impossible. When it comes to non weapon combat, hand to hand, Kuroi is the strongest out of all of the Espada. His ability to use this martial art at such a high level has quickly made it known that he has the ability to kill a Non Espada Arrancar with his bare hands, no powers or even blade. With his strength it is possible to move mountains (metaphor). With Kuroi's skill, with the kind of abilities that he displays, he can be regarded as one of the best.

Even today, Kuroi trains in karatedo. Occasionally he will return to the human world to attempt to continue learning, for there are still ranks to obtain. Only 1% of those that attempt it reach 9 Dan or 10 Dan, and these ranks are said to be impossible to obtain. Still, Kuroi practices in the hope of one day gaining such rank, and holding such prestige and skill that all will fear him, blade or not, powers or not.

The second martial art that Kuroi can employ is known as jiujitsu, also required during his time. Jiujitsu is mainly about taking down an enemy with locks and grabs, though there are other things. There are occasional kicks. But mainly, it is meant to take down and break the bones of an enemy, or even just choke them out or kill them. Basically, all about immobilizing locks, meant to be used for sudden combat, meaning around the corner throw downs.

In this regard, Kuroi has also had many years of practice. 8 Dan in this as well, Kuroi is capable of many kata, or sequences. The amount of combinations that he knows require him to continuously practice whenever he gets the chance, so that he does not rust and his skill does not degrade in the least. Being an Arrancar, Kuroi lives an incredibly long time. This means that he also has the ability to train even harder, and aspire that one day he can reach 9 Dan or 10 Dan in this martial art.

Ten thousand opponents have faced Kuroi in the ring of jiujitsu. Not a single one of them could defeat him. The mastery that he has unlocked is one of the most dangerous weapons that he will ever have at his disposal. Aside from the fact that he can choke out or physically break an enemy without even using his zanpakutou, there is also the fact that he can toy with enemies. When toying, he frustrates them. When frustrated, one is weakened. Kuroi knows this philosophy. Why is this important to his jiujitsu? Because it makes it all the easier to lock or choke them.

What makes Kuroi scary is the aggression. He doesn't lock and immobilize. He is aggressive. He will continue straining the lock until the enemy is broken. That is how he can also ask for information. Kuroi's favorite attacks are arm bars, and the rear naked choke. Both of these are fast and effective, efficient so to say. Kuroi, who operates like a machine, enjoys things that are efficient. Efficiency keeps everything running smooth and well.

Finally, there is the last part of Kuroi's style. His Ressurection. For starters, Kuroi's Primera Etapa. The Primera Etapa that Kuroi employs focuses mainly on efficient weaponry for deleting an adversary. This also means that his speed is the most vital key. The speed is what lets him use these weapons to quickly eradicate an opponent. If he has no speed, or if his enemy is faster than he is, then Kuroi obviously won't be able to win using his Primera Etapa's weapons.

However, that is what his ace techniques of this part are. The ability to slow down an enemy. To strip away their speed. That is Kuroi's strength in Primera Etapa. When he strips away their speed, he asserts himself with a speed greater than the one that they have. By slowing down his enemy, Kuroi gives himself a position in which he can once more use the efficiency of his weapons to deal some heavy and severe damage to the enemy.

And then, there is his Segunda Etapa. With his flight capability and the powers that he has, the new weapons, Kuroi is given the chance to truly break any adversary. But, whereas before he could strip them of their speed, now he can strip them of their Reiatsu. To do this is to truly destroy them. Once they are stripped of Reiatsu, Kuroi can easily crush them.

However, his Primera Etapa is used first at all times, and he never goes straight to Segunda Etapa. This is because Kuroi must first greatly weaken his opponent with Primera Etapa. Sure, his Segunda Etapa is quite strong, but weakening his enemy because using it will guarantee him a victory. Guarantee. Not give a high chance. Guarantee. 100% absolute that he will win if he uses his Primera Etapa in proper conjunction before his Segunda Etapa. And that is Kuroi's power.

Kuroi's improvement and adaption rate, as it should be noted, are off the charts. No one can even be compared to him in terms of improvement and adaption. That is clear. He is truly what some would call a monster in terms of combat ability, especially with his blades, which are quite incredible, really. Below, it will be detailed how he begins to use multiple blades, extending just a ways past two blades.

To begin with, the way Kuroi uses four blades is quite ingenius. Kuroi has a magnificent sense of balance. He CAN keep a blade in his mouth and fight with it, but why do that when he can use other parts? He can use his shoulders, his actual first two blades, or other body parts to balance other blades around and fight with. He can twirl, strike with, and balance out his swords when using them. This makes him a true genius with the sword. Also, he's very well attuned to the feel of his blades, as a swordsman should be.

Therefore, when there is any change, Kuroi knows. Even the tiniest change in pressure of the blade, and Kuroi knows and can react. It's not that his processing and sensory capabilities are extremely high, but it's that Kuroi is adept with his blades, being a master swordsman unlike any other. Furthermore, he can see the reflections of his blades at all times, even when observing an enemy. He can technically see all around him when he uses up to three blades minimum. As a result, he is easily able to keep track of those near him. The swords will reflect incoming enemies even during something like smoke or dust clouds, or anything similar. Only light and blinding distractions will work.

{Fighting Style + Primera Etapa}

-Powers-

Fighting Style Continued: [Furthermore, Kuroi has several sword styles that he can use, which are custom and created by him. Some of these include "Santouryu" and "Shiryu" type styles, meaning three blades or four blades, as Kuroi can use quite a few blades in total. In total, Kuroi has around four blade styles with multi-blades. This puts him at a league quite close to, and very well matching people like Grimoire. Though not quite at the same level, Kuroi is very close to Grimoire now. His blade style is quite peak and incredible.

The first style is called "Oni Fukusuha", otherwise known as "Demon Multi-Blade." This is a style that allows Kuroi to quickly keep tabs on his surroundings through blade reflective properties and feelings, but do this while spinning his blades. This is Kuroi's great aspect. He is able to spin his blades like an incoming buzz saw at great speeds. This isn't nearly the same as say, Grimoire Acero's Hell Art, but it's very very adept. It is said Kuroi can cut a bullet in half with this style.

Oni Fukusuha allows Kuroi's spinning blades to gain force to instantly sever anything. It creates deflective winds around him. Though weak, these winds will inch any incoming swords or similarly sized weapons away from the initial target, trapping them in the spinning blades. With their gathered momentum, they ignore typical strength rules within reasonable margin, and will rip an enemy's blade away.

Furthermore, contact with an enemy will instantly carve through them. Especially when there are blades balanced on the shoulders or other blades, Kuroi is able to make those blades spin with his original spinning blades, resulting in an ability to inflict massive wounds all at once, or even sever all limbs at the same time. Enemies typically don't really have a chance against Kuroi.

Next is a style called "Karatsubasa" or in other words, Raven Three-Blade. This is purely a multiple of three style. Kuroi can use three, six, or nine. In six, he balances one blade on each of the originals. In nine, one on each of the second level balance blades. This keeps one blade in each hand, one in the mouth. Kuroi then proceeds into a powerful, and aggressive slashing style that never targets any familiar points, and is always custom. It's unpredictable. No one in the world can truly anticipate it without seeing it beforehand.

It typically involves a lot of spin maneuvers by the body, and flips as well. When it strikes, it digs in deep, but it's a movement style that jerks away at the last second before finishing the attack, meaning it pulls away easily. It's a very good skirmish style, as it constantly lands hits, but always quickly jerks away at the ending of a move sequence, preventing an enemy from counterattacking on time. It also tends to use the mouth blade, keeping that near an enemy's torso to block attacks while the other two blades do some work.

This style technically is not meant to kill. It should be noted that it's a style meant to wound and immobilize any incoming enemies. Of course, this doesn't stop Kuroi from fatally injuring his enemies, even when he claims that he's "holding back" the full extent of his power. It's a dangerous style, but it is indefensible. It cannot be guarded against when once first encounters it. The rhythms of the style are too unfamiliar. Only a true master swordsman will be able to block the first strike. Only a genius the first two. After that, no more will be blocked. It is said it takes fifteen strikes for any genius even to adapt to it.

The next style is called Aka Ni: Hairetsu Ni: Shinken. This means Red Flash Sequence. It's a style that revolves around Kuroi's special use of Cero. As mentioned earlier, he can give it properties of a blade. He is able to temporarily maintain that Cero (3 posts) or infinitely if it is Shoji Cero. This means that essentially he can funnel it through a blade, and utilize it in conjunction with one of his styles. This will extend it out by quite a few feet, typically making it over twenty in length due to the strength. Kuroi is able to suppress it to five or ten though. At maximum, it could potentially go over a hundred meters, but that's purely if he fires it.

He can fire it after holding it in the blade. When connected to the blade, he has length blades of red reiatsu between 5-20 feet, and he is able to use them in conjunction with the above two mentioned styles. Of course, it should be noted that Kuroi alters his pathways so his blades don't dig the ground too much whenever he does this. This causes the blades however to surround Kuroi in a dome of red when he uses the above two styles, meaning his reiatsu will guard against incoming attempts at retaliation while he moves, and can be used like Grimoire's Titanium Dome would be.

This also massively increases his attack scale, attacking burns, but NOT cauterization to his attacks, in addition to massively expanding his range. Now, while each blade has capacity for the full twenty extension, Kuroi can give each blade for up to four blades eights by dividing up one Cero among them. Typically, this is better than having twenty on each blade anyway. The typical cost is the same as any Cero.

The final new style added to Kuroi's arsenal is also the strongest. Kuro Kadai, or in other words "Black Challenge." This is a style requiring specifically four blades. It allows Kuroi to hold with his hands two blades each. Gripping two hilts loosely in each hand, and therefore four blades. This is the strongest because with great finger ability, he then begins to maneuver the blades around by the ends of the hilts, essentially the "bottom" of the blade. This means he can maneuver them like stress balls in front of him. This is used to catch and tear away blades.

It guards against attacks, and causes Kuroi's attacks to drill all the way into any enemy. Furthermore, when put in combo with Red Flash Sequence, it makes Kuroi's attack a huge red drill that is able to quickly drill its way through any defenses, making it an attack that must be evaded, and cannot be guarded against. It is a powerful style that consumes quite a bit of stamina, but overall is a ridiculously strong attack. It's not something that one sees every day. It's also a disruption style. Kuroi can use it to disrupt constant movement styles by catching an enemy blade, even if it has superior strength, assuming he uses the right combo.

This is a very strong power that Kuroi uses. It's one of his best, his greatest creations. With his new blades and his new power, it is known for certain fact that Kuroi is the most powerful of the Espada. As the strongest, and the absolute genius, Kuroi is truly a master that is unrivaled in utter ability. Though not yet the greatest swordsman, he'll one day be there. That is the strength that Kuroi has. That is the strength it is said that he will always have.

Here are a couple of others.

Itouryu (One Sword): Senpuu (Whirlwind) - This is a one bladed technique in which Kuroi, during a strength increase, spins around after jumping and slashing. He lands on time to deliver a vicious 360 degree strike, in which he uses expertise to transfer his actual body weight into the sword as well, making the strike gain a huge amount of power in addition to strength. The result is everything within six meters getting hit with five outwards bound waves of wind, all with blade sharpness, and cutting power. It increases by six more meters for every other blade he uses. This can extend to Nitou, Santo, and Yonto, but is primarily Itou.

Nitouryu (Two Swords): Karasu (Raven) - Kuroi transfers his weight into the blades as he leans into the strike, and crosses them, slashing them as they slide against each other. With a strength increase from Kakucho Cero, this allows him to release an X shaped burst of cutting wind, though invisible since it's wind. It can release the Cero in blade forms from red flash sequence as well. Quite handy. Nitou only.

Since gaining his new blades and therefore new power, Kuroi has come to learn and master several new styles as well. The primary of these are those used by Grimoire Acero and Nishiru Tokoheita. The first described are the hell art sword forms.

The first art is known as "Jigoku no Bijutsu: Saisho no Buredofomu." It can be called "Saisho No Buredofomu" for short. It is simply told in translation as "Hell art: First Sword Form." This is the first recorded blade form of the Hell Arts. It is the one that Grimoire uses the most. It is also nicknamed "Ikari-En" or "Rage Flames." The style itself is so vicious, that enemies are left in over a hundred pieces by the time it is done. It is a style that utilizes numerous techniques, after all. It is not for the faint of heart.

This style is an aggression style that forces around two hundred different sword sequences for severing body parts. It doesn't ever have a stab move, only slashes. The slashes are meant to flow into one another to mimic fire, giving off the illusion that the fire is everywhere, surrounding an enemy, so that they cannot move without being burned. That is the same concept here. They cannot move without being cut, because the attack form is perfect. It never lets up, and the enemy is always surrounded.

This art constantly keeps the sword all around an enemy. It requires a great amount of speed, and it forces the blade to always be moving. With this constant movement, there may be exhaustion. However, the blade will be ridiculously strong in this. It is impossible to defend against, because it is fast and it is everywhere. Dodging is impossible once this is put into effect. It starts at close range only. With the "flames" being everywhere, even an inch out of the standstill center point, and there will be cuts. Trying to escape results in being shredded. Blocking will result in disarming. It's the perfect attack form.

The next part of his sword based style is known as "Jigoku no Bijutsu: Dai Sodofomu." This is also known as "Hell Art: Second Sword Form." It has been nicknamed "Aka No Ame" or "Rain of Red." It is a style consistent with stabbing. This style is also for destruction, but far more for defensive destruction. Since the previous attack form is used to destroy bodies, what happens when that body has some sort of defense? That is what this second sword form is for. It is very vicious, of course.

This sword form is like a constant pelt of rain. In some places, rain crashes down in sheets, because it is a weather extreme. Rain is that vicious. This is the kind of rain that it imitates. Due to the required speed and strength for this technique, it is very difficult to master. However, once used, it's like something used to cut swiss cheese holes into people. Once it's done, they'll be left in pieces, stabbed so much that the holes will be unable to support anything that's left. Only goo will remain.

Rain of Red utilizes the stabbing to break down defenses. It forces much power into the stab, focusing it at such speed and pecking interval, that the strength is ignored until one realizes that it's doing significant damage over a repeated strike. This is used time and time again, and destroys defenses, armor, and even weapons. It is virtually impossible to defend against because the stabs are everywhere at once, and predicting their trajectory doesn't work as a result. The speed makes it so that blocking will probably get one hurt more than it will avoid it.

The next style is known as "Jigoku no Bijutsu: Shikkusu Sodofomu." Also known as "Hell Art: Sixth Sword Form." There are actually ten Hell Art Sword Forms, but Grimoire is master only of four. Hence, Kuroi is also only able to use four, the four that were taught to him by Grimoire. He deemed the other six useless in the face of the four that he chose. This one is more defensive than offensive. It has also been nicknamed "Chitandomu" or "Titanium Dome." It brings the sword around with the same flurry as the first two styles, adding their speed together. It shreds anything that comes here, except that it is directed around the user. Though Kuroi is not nearly as good as Grimoire at using these, his customs do quite well for him.

As a result of this, it often requires two swords, rather than one. He can use one blade for this, but it isn't as perfect as two. The blade(s) move(s) around like flames to form a dome around him. Anything that tries to get through will be shredded completely because of the speed of the blade. As a result though, the blade will have to pass back and forth in between the two hands when used with only one blade.

What's great about the style is that it really is damn near impenetrable. Anyone that even tries to get close to Kuroi/Grimoire during its use will probably just die. It relies on a mass of speed, and this speed is so great that it will create the illusion that a silver dome is surrounding Kuroi/Grimoire. In reality, it will just be the sword transitioning movements so fluidly and quickly that it looks like one smooth, solid surface. Some people might even approach and try to touch it, only to realize that contact with it results in shredding.

This one is known as "Jigoku No Bijutsu: Daitenkai Sodofomu." Or "Hell Art: Tenth Sword Form." This is the most powerful of all ten sword forms. It was the last one created, and is said to be practiced by Lucifer himself. This form results in entire armies being vanquished in an instant. This one requires some form of reiatsu, but not from the user. It requires it from the enemy. This causes the sword to sway around rapidly, moving all across like the flame style of the first form.

It has been nicknamed "Dai Hokai" or "Great Collapse." It moves in a rhythmic motion that transfers force. It takes the force of an enemy with the first movement, and the next one will redirect that force, but also add Kuroi's/Grimoire's own force. This causes that force to triple up and destroy an enemy. It is the ultimate and perfect defensive form. It can even do this with reiatsu, capturing it in any sword based weapon when used correctly, utilizing a balance to catch it, and maintain such balance. This will result in the next attack redirecting it, but adding the power of the wielder.

The added force will result in the enemy being vanquished by their own attack, made superior. This style is also known to be able to cause death by holding that attack on the blade, using a precarious balance to maintain it on the weapon so that properties of that attack remain on the sword, and will attack enemies whenever they get hit by that blade. It is truly a vicious style that none but the highest of level, the strongest demons, can ever even bother to attempt.

Kuroi also uses the style of Nishiru Tokoheita, at least the sword related ones. To see Nishiru's style, please Click Here.

-------------------------------------------------

Now, besides all of these, Kuroi has customs of Grimoire's styles, simply for his own personal use.

The first of these is "Jigoku No Yuza Settei Ato: Mazu Katana Yoshi. Kuro Ikari-En." (Black Rage Flames)

This style is basically a slower version of Grimoire's. It requires an absolute relaxation of the muscles, in which Kuroi simply relaxes, and drops himself into a fluid motion. His motions are so fluid, that it appears as if a wall of black flames appears. Anyone caught in this great strike will be shredded. However, it is noted that it is slower, and easier to intercept. However, it can shred incoming reiatsu techniques too, if they're weaker. Furthermore, it's only a wall. Grimoire's full technique surrounds the enemy, rather than being only a wall.

The next one is called "Jigoku No Yuza Settei Ato: Ban-Me Katana Yoshi. Hai No Ame." (Rain of Ash)

This one is simply Kuroi fully relaxing his body again, and moving it into a sort of "trance state." This allows him, for the duration of this sword style, to simply weave with such fluid and unpredictable patterns, that for moments it looks like there are afterimages. However, in an enemy's perception, they will strike at an afterimage before Kuroi, and therefore miss him while he is using this technique. It's weaker and slower than Grimoire's strikes, and it doesn't destroy the body as much, so much as leaves holes in an enemy. Still effective.

The third one is "Jigoku No Yuza Settei Ato: Roku Katana Yoshi. Akuma No Domu." (Devil's Dome.)

This is directly an improvement of Titanium Dome. By using Kokucho Cero to enhance his speed and his strength (Kuroi can do this for other styles too!) Kuroi creates vicious winds on top of creating the titanium dome. In particular, an attacking enemy's arms will be forced upwards by the harsh gale, away from the actual target, and away from the center mass. This will leave them wide open on top of negating their attack if it isn't already shredded. Not only will they be left wide open, but this means Kuroi can change styles to suddenly kill them.

The final one is called "Jigoku No Yuza Settei Ato: Juken Katana Yoshi. Kyodai Hokai." (Mighty Collapse.)

Simply, Kuroi will expend all of his reiatsu with Kokucho Cero to totally blur in speed, and intake all the power he can from everything he can. His speed and strength will get such massive increases that he'll be able to simply uproot everything in his path, becoming a raw storm of fury.

Kuroi has one additional style, which has nothing to do with Grimoire. Rather, it is his own, custom creation. It is his greatest style, put simply. His single greatest feat. Now, it came about after he observed the power behind Armand, The Displeased God, otherwise known at the time of observation as the greatest living swordsman. That man's ability with the blade was unlike anything Kuroi had ever seen or imagined. Therefore, only naturally, he wanted to surpass it, and knew that even with ALL of the above mentioned, he would never be able to defeat it if he didn't possess a similar ability. This style is unique among Kuroi's custom styles in that it cannot be done with any number of blades over one.

Kuroi can utilize other abilities that use one blade, but can always combo a few more into there. In this case, with this single power, Kuroi is restricted purely to use of only one blade. Typically, he can use any of his katana, but he prefers to use his Zanpakuto, Hora, for this specific style. In using it, Kuroi must also use Kakucho Cero to deplete his remaining reiatsu. Kuroi must have 1100 in instinct and senses both. Essentially, this means that by maximizing these things, Kuroi allows himself to utilize this style. It takes his mastery and ability as a swordsman in addition to his newfound senses. At the same time, he can't inadvertently use it.

This style requires Kuroi to be on or near the brink of death. This is to say that he must have sustained heavy injury before being able to use it. Once this is active, he will be quite straining to himself. His body will be able to sense and feel the fabric of life itself, all around him. Not just life, but moving particles, and soul. That is what it ultimately comes down to. With his near-death state, he will do as Armand does, and feel the "breath" and "soul" of everything around him. It typically isn't something that requires high stats, but it does require centuries of swordsmanship. Armand is a unique case, being able to pull this off so well without being near death.

Kuroi can recognize weak points, and he can recognize life and soul, breath and purpose, and snuff them out. He uses it even better than Armand does, simply because he is able to do it temporarily in addition to being able to have these magnified senses. When using this style, the single blade is used in a loose, dangling grip. Furthermore, the enhanced ability allows Kuroi to simply totally relax his muscles, and synchronize himself with the all. He becomes everything in addition to individual, being able to feel and react to his place in the web of everything, which is to say the universe. He is therefore able to predict everything and anything within many, many miles of himself, and react so smoothly and fluidly that it seems to be god-like speed.

He can cut through anything with a well-tuned katana this way, by finding the weakest point, and synchronizing his blade with that weak point, making them work so harmoniously together that it's like cutting butter. Nothing is immune to this. Even raw energy such as lightning or even sound can be sliced apart by this technique. This is what makes it truly unique. Kuroi will never be able to use it so fluidly like Armand does, but he can attain a similar ability by giving up this huge amount of reiatsu and by being near death. This however is a feat only Kuroi can accomplish. No other swordsman exists that can possibly copy Kuroi's use of this style.

Unlike previously with Kakucho Cero, Kuroi's muscles are much more difficult to repair, and therefore he won't be able to continue fighting after he uses this style. It's purely for a sword duel, rather than anything else. For all intents and purposes, this is probably only to fight someone like Armand and win. At the end of it, it won't be worth it. Kuroi will be able to win any sword based fight with this, guaranteed pretty much. His synchronization is so fluid that even with the stats he has, no enemy will be able to interpret and predict him. This is Kuroi's ability with this style. When used, he actually cannot be comprehended or properly witnessed by any observer. That's the extent of this power.

He calls it by one simple name. "Akuma No Ichi Ha: Kamisama To Sandarein"

This is Kuroi's strength. He is the greatest living swordsman.]

Zanpakutou Sealed Appearance:

SPOILER: Click to show

{Sealed Appearance}

Zanpakutou Release Appearance: [Inserted Below]

When in Ressurection, Kuroi becomes encased in a black scaly suit that covers his whole body except for his feet, hands, neck, and head. His eyes transfigure into a solid black, while his hair grows spiked, and elongates until it goes past his shoulders and becomes medium length. His pupils turn a dim, glowing red color to add to the scary effect. His hands turn black and clawed, as do his feet, but it is obvious that they are not apart of the scaled suit covering him. Small slits on the top of his wrists are existent, but barely visible.

There are many markings and runes on the armoring suit, most of them a silver lining to create symbols. They used to be dulling, but have somehow replenished fully. However, they have also permanently wreaked something else on Kuroi's appearance, which is revealed without his Ressurection. The symbols are of an arcane, and ancient language that not even Kuroi knows fully. On the arms, the symbols are identical. There are six in total, and they are read from left to right, displayed horizontally from shoulder to wrist. The first symbol is a cross with what appears to be an eagle's wing outline coming from the very top of the cross. This symbol stands for Strength, one of Kuroi's mostly highlighted values. The second is a circle with seven dots forming a tri-spike in the center, with a triangle in the background. This symbol stands for Wealth. It is not something Kuroi really values, but he knows it's value none the less. Wealth is a means to an end. Wealth can give power in multiple ways, and it can buy valuable information. The third symbol is a cubic design with pyramids inside each face. This symbol stands for Stealth, which is the key mark of the assassin, and something that Kuroi came to value as a sniper during WWII. The fourth symbol is in rhe shape of a flame, and it had an inner flame at the center, both simply being outlines made of silver lining. This symbol stands for Bravery, which Kuroi knows is required to live the life of a hollow. Bravery, Courage, Heartlessness. Those are all key in this part of Kuroi's thoughts. The fifth symbol is significantly complicated. It is a bow with all of the previous four symbols located in between the bow and string, with an arrow notched, but not pulled back. The arrow is covered in an outline of flames. This symbol means Knowledge. Knowledge is power. Cunning and intelligence are the very roots of strength, and these can be used to overturn even a God. The final symbol is very simple. It is a skull with flames in the eye sockets, meant to symbolize the Death that Kuroi will inflict upon all of his foes.

There are arcane symbols on Kuroi's legs and chest as well. The legs only have four symbols. Both legs have the same symbols, read from top to bottom, and displayed vertically from the thighs to the shin. The leg symbols do not represent things that Kuroi values, but things that Kuroi despises and vows to destroy, should a foe possess them. The first symbol is two crossing blades with an odd character in the center. Simple enough, and it represents Failure. It is not something a foe will particularly have, though Kuroi will gladly damn a foe to Failure, and destroy them completely. The second symbol is a mere square, representing Light. Kuroi despises the light, because he lives in the darkness, his only light being the moon's shine. The third symbol is a circumpact with a skull at the center instead of a dot. This represents Fear, something that Kuroi has, but shoves down into the bottom of his soul, and resists no matter what. People that show their fear and let it control them disgust Kuroi over all things. The final symbol is a crescent, representing an incomplete moon. Having come to know the full moon as a companion, Kuroi despises anything less then the full moon.

The symbols of the arms and legs are also adorned more then once and indiscriminantly random all across the light scaly plating of the torso, with one unique symbol on the belly button area. The unique symbol is the outline of a dragon, and it is completely unknown even to Kuroi exactly what it represents. His best guess is that it represents Hatred or Anger, or something negative along those lines. The symbol is very detailed, despite being very small, and makes out everything almost like a tattoo fashioned completely from silver.

Kuroi's claws are viciously sharp, and they shine in moonlight. They glint like savage knives, and they curve like an eagle's talons. They are truly fearful to see, and they can be used as weapons just like Kuroi's blades can, though they are rather ineffective compared to blades. They can still be used to slash, and Kuroi can use them if he feels like fighting like a wild animal. The claws are majestic, and have a small green glint at the tips, almost as if they contain poison, which they do not. However, the appearance is enough to make enemies try to evade the claws. It is enough to tell them that Kuroi is dangerous, and that messing with him is not the best idea.

Kuroi's eyes hold more then scary looks and utter cold and disdain. The eyes have an odd, unique trait about them. The appearance is almost like an illusion really, indescribable unless experienced, but when looking at the eyes, one gains the impression of seeing Kuroi's entire life story, almost as if seeing all of the negative and depressing moments. Simply, it forces a feeling of negativity onto all onlookers, who truly recognize just how much of an antagonist Kuroi really is, and how much he hates the world and nearly everything in it.

The slits are like deep holes visible beneath skin flaps, almost as if long blades were stabbed deeply into Kuroi's arms, though no such thing ever occurred. The slits contain all of Kuroi's Ressurection Abilities, making it so that Kuroi relies on his arms primarily in combat. Still, nothing is a better tool than the mind, something Kuroi learned all too well.

Kuroi's hair is rather spiky when in Ressurection, but not without just cause. The spikes have silvery tips, and the hair appears as if it can stab like metal. Mainly, it wards off mindless enemies that think screwing with Kuroi is a good idea. The hair and claws are both essential to the element of fear that is supposed to be given enemies when they look at Kuroi. All in all, Kuroi's entire appearance and image in Ressurection are supposed to chill an opponent's spine, make them fear him, and even make them run away from battle. Weaker opponents will almost always do this, with the exception of foolish bravery, and great stupidity.

In recent years, Kuroi's release has come to provide something else. He had a certain scientist help him modify the way his release would work, creating a long black leather coat over him. Of course, his pants are still visible, the pants being part of the scale-like suit, though it's smoothed out now so it looks more natural with the black leather coat, which, long sleeve, is buttoned up. The coat has long coat tails, and obviously looks very cool. The reason that Kuroi has it is because it secretly adds more defensive power. It adds a small 5% extra margin to his resistance capability. 5% may not seem like much, but it all adds up. The coat is very resistant to attacks, so destroying it is out of the question. It's possible of course to take it off, though. Also, an "X" tattoo now forms over Kuroi's throat in black, and in red on the backs of his hands.

{General release appearance}

Zanpakutou Release Name(Only include Segunda Etapta if you plan to have one): [Primera Etapa: "Silence, Hora!"////// Segunda Etapa: "Plunge into Darkness, Hora Ultimo!"]

Overall Ability: [Inserted Below]

Kuroi's entire ability focuses around creating various blades to use for his own personal advantage. His entire ability focuses on vicious blade techniques that are used through the wrist slits of his Ressurection. Blades are ejected from there with various abilities. Kuroi's abilities for Ressurection, overall follow one single pattern. They are all meant for an assassin/soldier type. Kuroi is specifically a close quarters battle type. He is made for battling and overpowering large numbers of foes with his soldier/assassin skills, and the tools his arrancar powers give him, or simply one single foe that he is facing in a one on one battle. The abilities are basically restricted purely to close quarters.

His strength, essentially, is called "Battle Advantage." This is a power which enables the user, through said tools, to weaken the enemy while becoming stronger. Kuroi uses two techniques in Primera Etapa to make his opponent weaker. Meanwhile, the weapons that he is capable of arming himself with make him stronger, further increasing his battle capacity. As a direct result, Kuroi is one of the most capable Espada. Even enemies stronger than him will be brought beneath him when he makes them weaker.


Primera Etapta Overall Ability: [Inserted Below]

Kuroi's powers are mainly physical, and he generally does not use a terribly high amount of Reiatsu. This is only his Ressurection however. His overall abilities include Speed and Cero usage. He is particularly adept at quick movement, making him a dangerous foe to face in battle. His abilities with Cero do not extend generally to knowing lots of Cero, but to having a powerful Cero, and the few Cero he does know being incredibly vicious. Kuroi is prone to having lots of attacks that would aid him with melee fighting. Hierro helps defend him against damage, while his quick speed gives him an upperhand in combat. His Ressurection is mainly soldier/assassin blade combat.

It is called "Battle Advantage." Essentially, Kuroi creates powerful weapons with special properties for negating defenses or striking even through evasions. This means he causes himself to fight at his fullest with unbelievably strong weapons. Meanwhile, he uses other techniques and weapons to make his opponent weaker. In Primera Etapa, he has two techniques to enhance his battle ability, and two to drain his opponent's. In terms of overall, Kuroi is also able to generate weapons in general, though this is limited to swords. His wrist slits allow him to release black blades for use as wrist blade types. These can be made of his own reiatsu, and glow as black blades of reiatsu, or they can be black steel blades. He can also just flat out release them as actual swords with hilts, if he so desires. Kuroi has learned also how to release these swords from his wrist slits, to send them at enemies as projectiles.

Primera Etapta Techniques: [Generate below. Include powers and weaknesses.]

Name: Grande Podrido

Description: A whole new technique type to Kuroi, this was a later creation in his release. This technique does not activate directly with his release. He must manually activate it for a direct 300 reiatsu cost. 600 for it to remain active during high speed regeneration. Once activated, it fortifies the armor over his body! This becomes clear because "X" straps of some sort of leather form over his torso (chest), shoulders, wrists, and thighs. This is what reveals activation of this technique. It fortifies the armor that he is wearing, and it gives him defensive power. It doubles the reiatsu strength behind his Hierro. Essentially, Kuroi magnifies his defensive power with this technique. However, more than this, it does one other thing. It causes his Hierro to extend to the inside of his body too, making him immune to "transfer attacks" which attack internals, like air strikes. Furthermore, it allows Hierro to remain active during high speed regeneration. It's a whole new game plan for those who are combating him. An entirely new playing field has been created as a result of this.

Disadvantages: Drawbacks aren't tremendously high for this technique. It is exhausting to use in general, but exhausting also to maintain this defense. Kuroi will fatigue much quicker than normal by using this power. Then again, Kuroi is still much stronger than previously as a result of this. Instead of having generally useless "second weapon techniques" which become obsolete in the face of the technique called Taiyou Ken, Kuroi can now utilize this technique to his advantage. Besides this however, it costs a whopping 600 reiatsu. For this single technique, which only enhances defense, this is quite incredible. It has no real destructive value, and defensive value is based on the user's already existing latent strength. To begin with, it costs more than a Ressurection itself.

Level: Ressurection Primera



Name: Taiyou Ken

Description: The second ability is much more powerful than any of the other blade based abilities. It is an ace in the hole move, one that abandons any ability to be stealthy, and many other important aspects, devoting all purely to power. Kuroi's wrist slits releasing twin hilts made of the same black substance as the blades. These, once becoming gripped in Kuroi's hands, ignite with large, powerful white energy blades. The blades are wild, and the energy is constantly moving. Both blades can actually be focused into a more steady form, but that removes their signature ability. The signature ability is to be able to detonate them. The detonation is activated by a small button at the very bottom. There are only a few seconds before detonation once the button is pressed. The button itself is hidden until Kuroi determines he requires detonation of his blades. The focused version of the blades maximizes their cutting capabilities, making it possible to even sheer through Reiatsu. The wild version emits mild heat, and is capable of blocking a lot more things then the first ability's blades, but overall it's effectiveness with damage isn't much greater. The downfall of this is that Kuroi can only generate 3 of these weapons total every 24 hours. He cannot generate them in two sets, he can only generate one set, and then a third blade if one of them is lost.

Disadvantages: Again, it is true that there are already quite some drawbacks to the powers. But overall, these are not pure weaknesses. This time, the weakness is directly active to the usage of the ability. Kuroi must watch out for techniques that can overpower his weapons. While this ability can easily cut through a good amount of things, even Reiatsu, the proper way to stop this is simply to fortify and strengthen Reiatsu. Still, the weapon will pose a threat. The true weakness, lies in perhaps a way to detonate the blades while Kuroi wields them. A Gran Rey Cero or something on par has quite a decent chance of actually striking and damaging the hilts should Kuroi try to defend, and the explosion mechanism will be disturbed, causing the detonation. This ability takes a huge amount of Reaitsu, and highly weakens it. As a result, it also weakens defense severely. When it comes down to it, the blades are heavy, so a large mass of his physical stats weaken.

Level: Ressurection Primera



Level: Ressurection Primera


Name: Silencio Hazo

Description: The third ability has no relations to blades, but it aids the quota of Kuroi's melee combat. Kuroi casts a dome from his palms, the dome transparent, but visible through a seeming warp of space all around. The dome is basically invisible, except for the surface, which constantly ripples like the water of a pond rippling because of droplets and rocks being dropped in. The dome is about a 200 meters high, and 100 meters far all around for 360 degrees. Everything inside of the dome is slowed, except for Kuroi. Kuroi is not impacted in any way, but the opponent's speed is cut off by 2/3, or 66%. This also applies to the generating of techniques and abilities. The firing of them is not impacted. For example, the charging of a Cero is slower, but the firing is normal speed.

Disadvantages: The dome can only be used three times. Each time it is used, it grows ever weaker. The second time the dome is used, the opponent's speed is only cut by 33%, or 1/3. The final time of usage, the opponent loses only 16.5% of their speed. Also, Kuroi must remain within the dome at all times for it to be active. The dome can move, so long as Kuroi moves and remains in it as well. The dome can be shattered from the outside by a powerful Reiatsu using attack, such as Gran Rey Cero. Also, the dome only lasts for 12 posts. [6 of my posts, 6 of an enemy's post. Or just 12 posts total in a more then two person thread.] Also, Kuroi needs to have concentration. So, if a foe lands a good hit on him, the dome will be destroyed. Exhausts Reiatsu. Also, Kuroi must be touching his blade [must be using one of his various blade types] to remain immune to the dome's effect. An opponent could grab one of Kuroi's blades to also become immune for a bit.

Level: Ressurection Primera


Name: Silencio Hazo Genrai

Description: The fourth ability generates very odd, transparent blades on Kuroi's wrists. They hum with power and reiatsu, and seem to emit a cold aura. The blades have a single purpose and power. Yes, they can cut opponents and other things, but that is not their main purpose. Their purpose is to slow down enemies. Every time the blades make contact with an enemy, they lose some speed. A light touch, no matter how minor, will result in a 10% loss. A shallow cut will result in a 25% loss. A deep cut will result in a 33% loss. A full on slash will result in a 40% loss. A stab will have no effect if it strikes the limbs, but it will take away a total of 50% speed should it strike the torso or face. Then again, it will kill the person if it hits the face since no one can survive a blade to the head. Also, a stab to the torso may as well be considered 75% slowing. While the effect is only 50%, let's face it. When stabbed in the torso, someone is going to be slowed dramatically. [The effect is still only 50%! If you include the physical damage it could be counted as 75%, so anyone hit by the ability should also take into account that they've been stabbed in the torso.]

Disadvantages: Both blades can only be generated three times each. Each time it is generated anew, it grows ever weaker. The second time the blades are generated, only 50% of the effect will take place. The final time, only 25% of the effect will take place. Also, the blades only last for 12 posts. [6 of my posts, 6 of an enemy's post. Or just 12 posts total in a more then two person thread.] Also, Kuroi needs to have concentration. So, if a foe lands a good hit on him, the blades will be destroyed. Exhausts Reiatsu.

Level: Ressurection Primera

[Zou ۞]

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}{Segunda Etapa + Known Technique}Segunda Etapa Appearance:Whereas before Kuroi wore the armoring, scale-like armor with the wrist slits in the armor only, now he no longer wears armor. His clothing is all gone, except for simple black pants. His feet and hands are both clawed with razor sharp blades, almost like talons made of steel. The blades are made of a sharp, black, bone-like substance. Kuroi definitely further resembles his Adjuchas form, for now his mask is actually half materialized over his face, a lion skull mask with a solid, glowing red eye. The mask moves with his face naturally. Kuroi's body is covered in obsidian, and arcane runes that formerly adorned his Primera Etapta's armor. In Primera Etapta, the runes are now gone. [Part of subplot.] Rather, they are now scars on his body, and they are permanent, even outside of Ressurection. Kuroi's eyes have changed, gaining black cornea, and gold iris. His pupils have gone black again, and his hair has become a shining, spiky blood red that surrounds his head like a lion's mane, and goes to his shoulders.

Kuroi has grown a large, spiked tail as well. It is a lion's tail with spikes on it, the spikes made of the same substance as the talons that Kuroi possesses. As opposed to his Adjuchas form however, Kuroi has also grown wings. The wings are large, and demonic. They are like a demon's wings, so shaped after the wings of a bat. They are a blood red color. Kuroi's skin has paled, becoming a ghostly white. Kuroi's overall appearance has become something so terrifying, that one cannot help but cower simply by a sideglance at him. Also, the wrist slits from his previous ability are now embedded painfully into his skin.

Segunda Etapta Overall Ability: [Kuroi's true ability is the power to weaken his opponent while battling them at his near fullest. Essentially, Kuroi has three abilities in Segunda Etapta. They are all powerful, but most of them are merely expansions of earlier abilities that he held in Primera Etapta. Also, the first ability from Kuroi's Primera Etapta has been replaced by the talons and tail that he has gained, which he can simply use to inflict damage in a way just as effective as that ability. Basically, Kuroi's entire overall power lies in weakening the foe. As a side, he arms himself with powerful weapons that allow him to fight with a soldier-like quality, since he indeed was one as a human. This Segunda Etapa, as opposed to his previous stage, adds to his speed. This isn't a technique or real ability, it's the result of his wings. His speed goes up by 50%.

"Battle Advantage" basically makes Kuroi stronger and the opponent weaker. That's his ability! Before, he gave himself stronger weapons, and took away speed. In Segunda Etapa, he gives himself powerful weapons, and takes away the ability to use reiatsu. He's quite a powerful Arrancar as a result of this. Kuroi is still able to generate swords from his wrist slits, but he is also able to elongate his talons, which are made of steel, or retract them. They can be normal at six inches long or a little less, or they can go up to a meter in length, and become like sword blades. He can even eject his talons as swords! Kuroi is quite a battle to face, certainly. He is indeed a powerhouse.]

Segunda Etapta Techniques: [Generate below. Include powers and weaknesses. This slot is optional.]

First Ability - Muerte Cuerdas

Powers

This ability is vicious. It's Kuroi's most aggressive Ressurection ability. Of course, it can't be used under Cesar Del Vida, which is mentioned below this technique. Kuroi is able to turn any Cero into strings via his wrist slits. Basically, he splits his Cero up and divides it evenly, shaping its very entity. Therefore, for ten meters around Kuroi for every 100 reiatsu given up, thin strings will be overlapping and moving around for around three to five seconds during activation of this technique. Charging and sudden reiatsu burst gives instant indication of the launching of this technique. Furthermore, the strings cannot cut anything of superior reiatsu strength, and this of course is final. ANY Cero can be used for Muerte Cuerdas, though! The properties of any used Cero will be applied to Muerte Cuerdas.

Weaknesses

This is devastating to Kuroi as well. It cuts at his insides. His muscles receive cuts and tears for use of this technique. Prolonged or constant use, or moreover use that exceeds one time or two, will be met with extreme burning pain in the entire body, like every cell is on fire. In fact, it will also cause Kuroi's vision to begin to blur painfully, and his body's nerves will begin to shut off on him if he overuses this technique. In fact, burns will also form across his skin for using this. Also, this doesn't filter out the individual drawbacks for each Cero, nor the charging time. Reiatsu use is consistent with Cero as well.


Second Ability - Cesar Del Vida


Powers


Kuroi can once again create a dome. It covers a larger area than before, this being a full kilometer all around with Kuroi starting in the center, and flawless for 360 degrees, as well as half a kilometer high in the air. The dome cannot move this time. The dome is far more visible than last time, appearing to be made of a constantly shimmering silver liquid that makes up the exterior. The interior is in fact hollow. Everything inside of the dome becomes subject to it's ability, even Kuroi. No one can use Reiatsu while inside of the dome. Reiatsu is totally negated, and is in utter nonexistence. Inside of the dome, it becomes purely a battle of skill, resource, and overall ability. The only exception to this is the Reiatsu that it takes to maintain Kuroi's Segunda Etapta, since the ability would cancel itself out if that Reiatsu was disbanded. So Kuroi gets to keep his claws and tail and wings. He can also use the blades from the first ability of Segunda Etapta, just so long as he uses the black bone-like blades, since the Reiatsu blades cannot be used. This is definitely Kuroi's most powerful ability, one that could even the odds between him, and someone far more powerful than he is. HOWEVER, Kuroi, while restricted from any other Reiatsu usage, can also use Cero. It is uncertain why, and not even Kuroi himself knows, but he can use Cero in the dome. There is another version of this technique forever. It is the ULTIMATE nullification area. Therefore, copies are looked down upon. Should Kuroi find himself in any sort of nullification area, which in fact is merely a copy of his own, then this technique can instantly activate for the ordinary cost. The dome forms in the sky, and then cascades down to cover the nullification area with Kuroi inside of it. This will instantly negate the other nullification area. Segunda Etapa will then be instantly and forcefully activated.

Weaknesses

The dome itself restricts most of Kuroi's Reiatsu usage, putting him on a similar base with the opponent. The dome cannot be destroyed from the outside, however it can be destroyed from the inside, which is it's greatest downfall. The dome is a flat out summon as opposed to before, which is why it cannot move this time. So, Kuroi does not need much concentration to keep it up, but he does need to be in fairly good condition. If he is too badly injured, and his Reiatsu is fluctuated from this, his dome will collapse. Essentially, a few well placed hits will be the end of this ability. This ability can only be used once. When it is destroyed, Kuroi is in deep trouble. Using the dome drains Kuroi's Reiatsu amount to 5 while he is inside of it. [The 5 is what keeps the dome and Kuroi's Segunda Etapta from falling apart.] Also, it is greatly exhausting. Luckily, the exhaustion does not set in all at once since that would defeat the purpose of the dome. It sets in over time, each post taking more and more of Kuroi's stats away. Stamina usage is doubled [for Kuroi only] while inside of the dome. When destroyed, the dome disappears completely.



Third Ability - Plata Corte


Powers


Plata Corte arms Kuroi with a very unusual weapon. From out of his wrist slits, chains fashioned from reiatsu erupt, both going out by up to a hundred meters, but capable of shortening and elongating within that limit. Attached to the end? Buzz saw blades of reiatsu. One might think that these are simply weapons, but their density makes them difficult to break. They hold the same negation properties as Cesar Del Vida, which means that reiatsu absorption or negation will not work against their activation. Furthermore, they require the same power advantage to break as a spiritual weapon would. What is most deadly about the spinning buzz saw blades however, more than any of these, and more even than the cutting effect that they are given (an instantaneous splice effect, accompanied by a whirring/buzzing sound), is the effect of being struck by one. Plata Corte diminishes stamina potential. That is it's power. With each new strike against the opponent, their "stamina potential" is drained.

Stamina potential is the possible maximum for their body before it reaches it's limit. This means that being struck by the blades drains multiple things. Firstly, it drains actual stamina. Secondly, contact with the blade causes death in the red blood cells carrying oxygen, reducing the amount of air getting to the victim's body. Thirdly, contact with the blade results in loss of "rest," reducing the hours of sleep from the previous day that one is operating on. The final loss is in energy demand satisfaction, meaning that contact also causes loss of energy gained by nutrition via water/food, and thus causes thirst/hunger.

Light touches with Plata Corte, in other words small injuries, cause a 10% reduction in current stamina based on the total possible stamina one would have. It also reduces red blood cell count by 10% and prevents new ones from forming to replace them for a while after the first hit. It also reduces the victim's hours of rest to the approximate six hours of sleep. If they are operating under less at the time of that initial hit, the third part is useless. It will erase half of the victim's current nutritional intake energy as well. Major hits (limb severing, deep slashes, etc) does far worse. A single major hit causes 30% reduction in current stamina based on the possible total one would have. It reduces red blood cell count by 30% of the possible total, and reduces the victim's hours of rest to two hours of sleep, but sleep done two days previously. If the victim already has less, this third part is moot. An entire half of the possible total of nutritional intake energy is removed during a major hit.

Keeping in mind drains for maintaining battle, seven minor hits will incapacitate the foe by knocking them unconscious as well as causing them to become unable to breathe, thus asphyxiation is also a factor. Three majors hits will have the same effect. Minor hits also occur from contact with the chains. Major hits require the blades.


Weaknesses

This is devastating to Kuroi as well. It cuts at his insides. His muscles receive cuts and tears for use of this technique. Prolonged or constant use, or moreover use that exceeds one time or two, will be met with extreme burning pain in the entire body, like every cell is on fire. In fact, it will also cause Kuroi's vision to begin to blur painfully, and his body's nerves will begin to shut off on him if he overuses this technique. This costs 200 reiatsu to activate per blade.


Note: Added to fighting style:

Santouryu: Dangan (Bullet): A three sword style technique which is one of the only techniques that does not specifically require an increase for maximum effectiveness, but can be used with one. This uses speed. It's a sharp attack that requires special, very strong blades. Normal blades cannot use this technique. Named blades and cursed blades are especially good for this style. The user, Kuroi, blurs past the enemy, using three blades. When this happens, the blades are released from the hands, as in the hands open up, for a fraction of a second. The blades therefore tip in attack direction, but the hands clench again, and the attack ultimately misses. In reality, this drags sharp air across an enemy to attack. However, while it damages the way an ordinary slash would, it's delayed. The air moves across the enemy within a half second, but damage does not occur until one second later per 100 speed of the user. This means if one had 400 speed, 4 seconds would pass before the damage. This technique is negated and the effects are therefore never revealed if someone simply dodges the attack. Blocking it will do no good. This is three blades only.

Yontouryu: Shoju (Rifle): A four sword style technique. This requires some tricky handplay. When bursting towards the enemy, the user, wielding four blades in a balance position, will stab with the first two. This prompts the other two also into a stabbing position. However, the user must then release the blades, and raise the elbows, touching the blades with them and performing Sonido. This is a special technique, which blasts the body past the blades behind the enemy at Sonido speed. It shoots the blades not with the user, but past the enemy and back to the user's waiting hands. However, since they're shoved at Sonido speed, they'll move at half that speed in stabbing positions towards an enemy. It essentially means the enemy can get stabbed at a great speed by four blades, which will move with such force that they'll go all the way through the enemy regardless of impact area, even the hilts making it through. The enemy will be finished by this devastating technique. It's most effective in use with a speed increase.



Known techniques:


Technique Name: [Sonido (Lit. Sound Step)] (Mastered)

Class: [4] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

A powerful technique, Sonido is a step that increases movement speed for a single step. Essentially, it magnifies the speed of just that one step, by 13 times. Each step for Sonido costs 100 Reiatsu.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Just use it and drain the Reiatsu.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

No drawback.

Technique Name: Enma Cero (Mastered)
Class: Level 1 Cero
Technique Type[Hollow Technique, Kidou, Jutsu]: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: None
Technique Description and Effects: The user fires three hundred invisible ceros out of their palm.
How to use the technique: Fire it from the palm.
Technique Drawback: Costs an insane amount of Reiatsu. Severely burns the arm using it. One thousand second/third degree burns materialize on the firing arm, making it impossible to use this technique a second time, and also along the torso like a rash. This drains the user enough that they can't fight at the same capacity until some outside source manages to repair their wounds. Even with high speed regeneration, the user's own healing just won't do much good in the face of the sheer damage inflicted onto the user by this Cero. If this is used, release will cost double reiatsu until healing is done, because it's incredibly straining to try to use that after this cero.

Technique Name: Dorido
Class: 3
Technique Type[Hollow Technique, Kidou, Jutsu]: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: None
Technique Description and Effects: The user, by concentrating their reiatsu much as they would for Sonido or Shunpo, teleports at the speed of light (more accurately, NEAR the speed of light. Not quite as fast) to any location that they know about.
How to use the technique: Stated above.
Technique Drawback: This technique has no proper battle applications. It is more like a quick teleportation, or a technique used to escape some kind of sudden armageddon. It is instant, but the stamina cost is so massive that fighting after its use will no longer be possible, and therefore cannot be used in battle the way a Sonido or Shunpo can. It will leave the user totally exhausted and barely able to move. It can also only be used once in a thread.

Technique Name: Reiatsu Bullets (Dos Bala) ~ Bala Two (Mastered)
Class: 4
Technique Type[Hollow Technique, Kidou, Jutsu]: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: Blank
Technique Description and Effects: This is a Hollow Technique developed for Vizards. The user gathers Reiatsu, and fires it from their palms in bullet forms. Up to three bullets can be fired at once, each one costing 50 Reiatsu. They can detonate an explosion for another 50 Reiatsu. They cost an extra 50 Reiatsu to increase their speed to Mach 2.
How to use the technique: Simply point the palm at the foe, and gather the Reiatsu.
Technique Drawback: Inevitably will damage the palm that fires the bullets. Easily stopped if opponent has the right speed.

Technique Name: [Shoji Cero (Nunca Acabar Cero) (Lit. Never Ending Cero)]

Class: [3] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

This is a newly developed Cero that requires a blood sacrifice in the same way as a Gran Rey Cero. It is inevitably a weaker Cero than Gran Rey Cero, however the power lies not in the overall destructive capacity, but in the special ability itself. The Cero itself charges at a regular rate, but the charging looks odd. It begins as a lighting up of spider web designs around the entire firing arm. They form as glowing red markings across the arm, and the red is soon filled up by a turquoise color. The Cero seems to fire instantly, when in reality the charging is the color change of the spider web patterns. The Cero itself comes out all at once, the orb generating in under half a second. This means an enemy may not know that the technique is charging, and will be surprised. This can be used for stealth. But, that is not the main ability. The true power behind this Cero is infinite firing. Once fired, it does not end until the user dies, or wills its end. Even throughout multiple posts, people can keep this technique going. Once fired, it can fire continuously like an infinite laser. It can be used for destruction of multiple enemies or targets, or simply to weather away a defense until nothing is left.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

This can begin charging no matter what position the arm is in. However, to fire, it must be a straight out, extended position like a regular Cero. This is still a generally very vicious technique.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

Same drawback as regular Cero. Beyond that, it has no drawback. Perhaps if the arm is severed of the Cero disrupted during charging, the explosion is massive, but other than that, nothing. This is just a regular Cero, though turquoise in color, that fires much longer.

Technique Name: Redirection (Mastered)
Class: 3
Technique Type[Hollow Technique, Kidou, Jutsu]: Hollow Technique

Technique Description and Effects: The user gathers Reiatsu, and uses it to catch, block, or grab an attack the foe sends at them. From there, they give up half the Reiatsu the foe used to cast the technique, in order to redirect it with double the power and speed.
How to use the technique: Explained above.
Technique Drawback: May burn the hand.

Technique Name: [Kakucho Cero: Partial]

Class: [Normal level Cero] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

Kuroi's Kakucho Cero (seen below later) is a powerful technique. However, it's ridiculously costly. It is costly, and heavily damaging to the muscles as well. Instead of damaging all of them and also costing a huge sum of reiatsu, this technique can be used in its place. Kuroi's huge Cero has a lot of energy to power him. Instead of dispersing it through the whole body, he can disperse it within a single limb. Whereas Kakucho Cero dispersed his Cero's energy and absorbed it into the muscles of the whole body, this is used only for one leg or one arm. This limb will steam heavily, much more than the body normally would due to more concentrated focus. Whereas Kakucho Cero previously had a conversation rate of 200 reiatsu = 100 speed or strength, the conversion is a lot higher since it's more focused.

Instead, it is now a reversal. 200 reiatsu = 400 speed or strength, and it's still a rate of 100 reiatsu = 1 post. Partial cannot be used on senses, only on speed and strength.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Charge and cast the inner cero within the body. See Kakucho Cero below for more details.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

Very damaging to the muscles, straining and burning them. However, it only does this to the affected limb's muscles, rather than applying to the entire body this time.

Technique Name: Cero Garandou (Mastered)
Class: 1 [Uses 1000 Reiatsu]
Technique Type[Hollow Technique, Kidou, Jutsu]: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: Darkness, Fire
Technique Description and Effects: The user charges a massive amount of Reiatsu, before blasting out a gigantic black cero. The cero itself is actually invisible, but it consumes everything in it's path, even air and reality, and so it leaves only blackness behind as it strikes. As a result, it devours defenses and counter attacks as well. The only way to not get killed by this cero is to evade it. The blackness is behind the cero, and so what people anticipate as the cero will not actually be accurate as to how close to them it really is. When it hits the foe, the darkness will consume their entire body, dissolving everything until there is nothing left but bones. The bones will then crumble to the ground. This is possibly the most powerful long range cero existing. It can be used ONLY by someone of incredible strength, such as the Vizard Leader, an Ogatago, and the top 3 Espada. No one other then these can learn it.
How to use the technique: Charge a large amount of Reiatsu specifically to generate this technique, then fire at the target aimed at.
Technique Drawback: The arm that fired this technique immediately begins to dissolve internally. No visible external damage will be shown, even while inside everything turns to ash.

Technique Name: Bala (Mastered)
Class: All arrancar, power varies by users strength and reiatsu controll.
Technique Type: Arrancar Technique
Technique Element[if any]: N/a
Technique Description and Effects:Bala (虚弾 (バラ), bara; Spanish for "Bullet", Japanese for "Hollow Bullet") is an Arrancar-exclusive technique that hardens the user's Reiatsu and releases it like a swift blast of spiritual energy. While the technique is not nearly as powerful as a Cero, its speed is 20 times faster and allows for it to be fired in quick repetition. A Bala's speed and power varies with the Arrancar using it; while the power of Yammy's Bala is equated with a powerful punch, Ulquiorra's Bala is capable of blasting large holes in enemies.[1]
How to use the technique: Fire off hardened reiatsu
Technique Drawback: N/a


Technique Name: Pesquis
Class: 5
Technique Type: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: None
Technique Description and Effects: A technique that allows the user to cast a seeming "radar" for a one mile radius, allowing them to sense any and all beings that have reiatsu in the area, and tell how strong that reiatsu is, and even locate an enemy in battle. Incredibly strong people, like Captains or Vizards, will be able to slip through this.
How to use the technique: Focus.
Technique Drawback: None


Technique Name: Gonzui (Mastered)
Class: 3
Technique Type: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: None
Technique Description and Effects: This technique allows the user to absorb the Reiatsu of everything around them that is lower then they are in class, after locating it with Pesquis. They can also use this to eat random spirits in the area. One spirit is worth 10 Reiatsu.
How to use the technique: Focus on sources of Reiatsu, open mouth, and eat.
Technique Drawback: Arrancar Only. Must use Pesquis first.

Technique Name: Hierro (Mastered)
Class: Equivelant to that of the user, though the hardness of the skin is a result of how much spiritual pressure the user has.
Technique Type: Arrancar Technique
Technique Element[if any]: N/a
Technique Description and Effects:Hierro is an Arrancar technique in which the user's reiryoku condenses, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block a zanpakutō. This also allows them to fight some of the sword-wielding Shinigami barehanded.
How to use the technique: It is always active, no matter weather the user is in a battle, or not.
Technique Drawback: The user's maximum Reiatsu amount can only reach a total with an amount of reiatsu subtracted equal to the class of the technique, which is the equivalent of the user's class.

Technique Name: Garganta
Class: 4
Technique Type[Hollow Technique, Kidou, Jutsu]: Hollow Technique
Technique Element[if any]: None
Technique Description and Effects: The technique used by Hollows to move to and from Hueco Mundo. Urahara, Mayuri and Tōsen have demonstrated the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
How to use the technique: The tear simply opens upon the user's will.
Technique Drawback: No drawback.

Cero Oscuras (Mastered)

Cero Oscuras (黒虚閃, セロ・オスキュラス, sero osukyurasu; Japanese for "black hollow flash", Spanish for "Dark Zero") is a black Cero, used only by an Arrancar in their released form. This cero compares to Ichigo's black Getsuga Tenshō. It covers any exposed light into pitch darkness. It is too early to tell for sure if Gran Rey Cero is stronger or not, because only Gran Rey Cero coupled with any Espada above Cuatro releasing their power are forbidden under Las Noches. Obviously Cero Oscuras should be forbidden as well, since an Espada ranked below 4th should be able to use Cero Oscuras after his/her ressureccion under Las Noches. The Cero Oscuras' range is vast, and its attack power is unknown. The Cero Oscuras is far greater than a average Cero.

* Users: Arrancars with a ressureccion ONLY (However, very advanced Vizards who can control their full hollow state can also use it)


Technique Name: [Kakucho Cero]

Class: [Regular Level Cero] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Hollow technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

This Cero is one of the rarest, and it is something that takes months to learn. There is not a single person in the world that can bypass the method of months. In fact, even the greatest genius would take months. This Cero in fact probably would take anyone else decades to learn. It requires a total and absolute mastery of Cero. It also requires a high reiatsu strength. So far, only Kuroi can use this. This is something he developed through his training. It's an "Inner Cero." He uses it to generate a Cero inside of his own body. Then, he absorbs his own reiatsu and thins it, dispersing it in a thin line across all of his muscles in the body.

In this way, Kuroi is in fact able to increase his physical stats. This can be used on speed, strength, or senses. The default use of this technique on speed increases it by a margin equal to half the cost of the technique. In terms of speed, this requires the user to give up their reiatsu for speed. After the initial cost, an extra 200 can add 100 more to speed continuously.

The same increase type can be done to strength, which will increase by the same exact margin as speed when this technique is used. In terms of senses, it has the same scaling as strength or speed.

The duration of said increase is 1 post per one hundred expended reiatsu.

If required, there is also "Direct Conversion," which causes the user to convert spiritual pressure directly into other stats, with the same net duration as before (100 = 1 post) with the stats returning to normal after this. This also is a direct equality, meaning 100 SP = 100 Speed during said conversion.

This technique can be seen activated because the Cero's dispersal causes steam to eject itself from the user's pores, almost as if the skin is exhaling. Due to the nature of this Cero, in that it appears inside the user, this technique cannot be negated by negation techniques or by negation areas.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Simply charge, disperse, activate. This technique causes the eyes to turn red during the time that it happens. They glow red because of the Cero charging inside. Cooking oneself is avoided because of the dispersal of energy.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

This technique is not without its drawbacks. It does indeed burn the muscles and systems that it updates. This means muscles within the body, and even the eyes will take severe damage, and by the end of this technique lose at least 35-75% functionality based on duration. This is also attributed to tearing, as the muscles aren't used to moving at that level, as it isn't quite a "default." This typically means that the user will tear apart their own body muscles by using this.

Technique Name: [Bala Odioso (Hateful Bullet)] (Mastered)

Class: [0]

Technique Type: [Arrancar Technique]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

This is a powerful, devastating technique crafted by Kuroi. Based loosely on a myth he read about stronger Hollows, this is a living, intelligent Bala. A living, intelligent Bala that zips around at twice the user's speed. Ice blue in color, and size scaled to match the user's average Bala, this technique is powerful not only because of a consciousness, but a cunning. Its intelligence is identical to the user's. It shares experience level, is aware of the user's memories, and has a dangerous, murderous personality. It can rationalize, it can speak, and it has all analysis skills the user does. It can work in absolute conjunction with the user, or it can work independently of the user entirely.

Regardless, it has numerous properties. Aside from typical Bala properties, this Bala can use Sonido up to twice per post, and can exist for up to 6 posts at a time once created. At any time, the user can cause the Bala to detonate, and it will detonate with the size and power of a Muerte Lanzar, even sharing the same "unblockability." More importantly, however, reiatsu techniques used in its vicinity which are of inferior class will be dissolved, and turned into reiatsu that it will use to fuel itself. The vicinity is ten meters of this Bala. And any reiatsu it takes in can be used by it to use one of the user's other Cero or Bala techniques. The user can also fuel this Bala themselves by shooting techniques at it and having them absorbed. Truly a dangerous technique.

How to use technique:

Simply create.

Drawback:

The user's reiatsu attacks are not safe from this Bala, unless they too are class 0. The only exception to this rule is Cero Garandou. This makes coordination extremely key in combat if the user wishes to continue to use reiatsu based techniques. That said, this technique requires not only a huge 1200 reiatsu cost, and tremendous physical drain and stamina cost, but for the user to give up one happy memory to use it. One truly good, truly happy memory which isn't petty. This means that the user diminishes their own happiness and previous bonds and experiences as a person in order to use this technique. This also means it is unusable by those with no true happiness or emotions, or those with extremely shallow emotions, or those who are constantly contemplating their emotions too much. Finally, it also shares the Muerte Lanzar drawbacks, and like Muerte Lanzar can be defeated by Hado #188: Soro. It is also possible to fool it, even if that trick might not fool the user of the Bala.

(Mastered) Traditional Cero - Uses 200 Reiatsu. Every level weaker uses 20 less Reiatsu. Every level higher uses 40 more Reiatsu. Gran Rey Cero uses 400 Reiatsu however, and Cero Oscuras uses 500. Classed Cero use the normal reiatsu amount for that class. In particular, Kuroi's regular Cero only needs half of the charging time due to mastery. The color can also be unique. Kuroi's Cero can be blood red.


Technique Name: [Muerte Rey Cero] (Mastered)

Class: [1] - 7-1.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

Though Kuroi is not the only one that can use this, there are no other hollow or arrancar within the boundaries of Hueco Mundo capable of using this special brand of Cero. This technique is very similar to a prototype of "Lanzar Muerte", which is a well known technique that can annihilate even a Shinigami Captain within a single blast. When charging, at first two stars are visible on the charging area, glowing dark red. After this, twin black Cero materialize on the charging area. Then, the Cero combine, grow, and launch out as a single gigantic serpent made of reiatsu. The serpent is as large as a sky scraper, and made of black reiatsu. It has glowing red eyes, and enormous fangs. The serpent is as fast as a regular Cero in every regard. There is no special mastery that allows it to charge faster. Though numerous things happen, the charge is significantly fast. Kuroi can also fire this from the stars on his chest. When regularly fired, the power behind this technique is worth double the reiatsu strength of the user. When fired from the chest, it is worth triple.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Get into the necessary battle stance and charge. Then fire!

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

This is one of those enormously powerful techniques that can be used multiple times. Though it does considerable damage to the user, that does not stop the use. The very first use will fry several tissues and nerves, and other things within the arm that fired it. This will stop it from wielding a weapon, but mobility will be kept, meaning that a second usage can be performed. Twice is the limit, because after this everything else inside of the arm is destroyed, the same as Cero Garandou. If this is fired from the chest, the tissue AROUND the heart is destroyed until high speed regeneration can fix it. However, it is a very tricky and unstable process, which means that firing from the chest can only be used once. And, the firing from the chest takes double the charging time, leaving vulnerabilities.

Technique Name: [Muerte Lanzar: Keijo No Zetsubou]

Class: [0]

Technique Type: [Arrancar Technique]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

A technique new to Kuroi's arsenal, Keijo No Zetsubou is a form of Muerte Lanzar. While Muerte Lanzar is an enormous blast explosion, this instead creates a thick fog with the same scale as the explosion of Muerte Lanzar. Now, while this may seem redundant, especially because within the fog, enemies suffer from the scorching heat of Muerte Lanzar's explosion, and thus burn, the technique has another purpose. For one, the technique itself lasts for several posts (4 in fact), meaning there is a huge area of destruction for that long. Secondly, inside of the mist, there is another effect.

Those within the mist do more than burn. They will be subject to an absolute, overwhelming Despair and sorrow, with no base reason against which to fight, and only pain to feel. Those who cannot overcome it will have their minds erased and turned blank, and thus their bodies will become lifeless husks, less than vegetables. Aside from that, the burning will also take care of the body. The sadness takes only one post to reach maximum potency, and the heat can also do a lot of damage in that time. Anyone inside of this fog will feel its effects, regardless of defenses. Worst of all, those within the fog are blinded by the thick black haze, and thus cannot see more than a foot in front of themselves.

This technique can be overcome only by not being caught in the fog. Even enemies with no emotions will suffer from it, and will for the first time in their lives experience emotion. This technique can be resisted alternatively by having superior reiatsu strength IN ADDITION TO a 3 in two mental skills such as calm mind and strength of will, or similar. All of these are required to resist Keijo No Zetsubou. However, it cannot be done by someone of inferior class to its user, Kuroi.

How to use technique:

It is used when charging and preparing to fire Muerte Lanzar. In fact, one must fully prepare Muerte Lanzar before this technique can be used. Instead of Muerte Lanzar firing however, this technique fires, and thus the drawbacks incurred are those of both Muerte Lanzar AND of this technique, as are the costs, making it a 2400 reiatsu cost.

Technique Drawbacks

He who uses this technique will suffer a recurring feeling of all Despair they have ever experienced, magnified several times over. Furthermore, the drawback of Muerte Lanzar will double, meaning more soul and thus more lifespan are taken. But, finally, the user, upon using this technique, will be forced in their next sleep to hold a dream-like conversation with Lucifer himself. This in itself is a trauma most can never recover from.

Technique Name: [Sonido Garra]

Class: [4]

Technique Type: [Arrancar Technique]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects:

The Shinigami have a technique called Shunpo Karin, which increases the speed of one of their limbs for one movement with an enhanced Shunpo. In other words, they get a 10x speed boost for one arm or leg movement. Oftentimes, Arrancar took unnecessary damage against sword strikes from that technique. To counter it, they created something new.

Sonido Garra is a partial Sonido technique which enhances a single limb's movement for one single movement with a Sonido. In other words, for one movement, either a leg or arm can use Sonido to speed up. 13x is the speed boost associated with Sonido Garra.

How to use technique:

Activate the technique. Unlike Sonido, which costs 100 reiatsu to activate, Sonido Garra costs 150 reiatsu every time one wishes to use it. It can only be used once per post.

Technique Drawbacks

Reiatsu cost. Continued uses also cause strain to the user's arm. Usable by Arrancar only.

Technique Name: [Oscarion]

Class: [4, 2] - 8-0.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

Such a simple, easy technique. The most noteworthy and least used of all Lanza techniques. As soon as contact is made physically between the Lanza in question and the body, release form, or weapon of an opposing Arrancar who is not a Lanza, then this technique can be activated. What does it do? It causes neutralization. Essentially, this technique allows the user to neutralize the enemy's reiatsu and powers for 6 posts. Their release seals, and their reiatsu cannot be used. If the class 2 version is used, the enemy is also totally immobilized. The class 2 version can also be used simply by eye to eye contact, but the immobilization is lost if it is used this indirectly.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Stated above. Lanza only.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

Reiatsu cost. Straining headache. Can only be used twice in a thread, and not on a Lanza. Non-Lanza are the only ones who this can be used on. If one is a Lanza but is outranked by whoever one attempts to use this on, then it will not work. This technique cannot be used on those who are Class 0.

Technique Name: [Crescendo]

Class: [3] - 8-0.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [Sand, Metal] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

Though its cost is the same as Primera Etapa, it is a useful technique which only Lanza can use. Upon activation, it stays active for 15 full posts. So long as this is activated, the user can control the sand within Las Noches or Hueco Mundo. Not all sand. Just sand that is inhabitant to those places. The sand can be controlled in a raw, free-form. This sand can engulf enemies, or can be given cutting properties like blades. It can be shaped, and it can be solidified. If solidified, it gains a density like metal, and a defensive power like Hierro. It is able to guard against physical and reiatsu based attacks, and its durability is equivalent to twice the user's Hierro strength. Likewise, the sand becomes immune to heat, which would otherwise make it glass. The sand moves at a speed equivalent to half the user's reiatsu strength. The user's full reiatsu strength if hands are used to direct it. Three times the user's reiatsu strength if an additional 100 reiatsu is given up for that one singular movement.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Stated above.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

Reiatsu drain. Stamina drain. Causes headaches, nausea, and internal spiritual damage. Cannot be used in conjunction with released state. Must be deactivated before release can be used again. Cannot be reactivated during release.

Technique Name: [Muerte Lanzar]

Class: [0] - 8-0.

Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other

Technique Element: [None] - If any

Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]

Ordinarily characterized as a technique usable only by Hollows that are Ponderoso Rey, this technique has been adapted by the Lanza as well. How this happened is unknown even to most of the Lanza save its original founders.

Muerte Lanzar, when used by a Ponderoso Rey, takes on the form of three black cubes of reiatsu forming and spinning before firing. The same is true when a Lanza fires it, though it can be only from the hands, and its color is ice blue. During the time when this technique is being charged (same charge time as a regular, unmastered Cero), the user's face illuminates in a light. A tattoo made of ice blue light forms on the user's face in the shape of a crescent moon. And then when this technique is fired, the size becomes evident. Though not as powerful when used by a Lanza, and though not black like when used by the Ponderoso Rey, this technique is the strongest available to any Hollow form for offensive purposes. In size, the original is larger than three skyscrapers put together. The Lanza adapted version is only two times that size. When it explodes, its equivalent force causes the sky to light up in a blue hue, and a crimson moon-like shape to form in the sky for ten seconds (for looks.) The explosion is the size of the Abraj Al Bait Towers in total area. It will explode only if impacting something of significant size. Otherwise, it simply consumes and incinerates before fading.

When used, it is unblockable by any form of defense or attack. Nothing can stop the progression of this technique, and it will destroy all attempts. It is essentially immune to all effects which could attempt to subdue it. Regardless of reiatsu strength, power, or ability properties, Muerte Lanzar defeats any and all opposing attacks EXCEPT Zero Division Hado #188: Soro, which has special properties for defeating this technique specifically. It cannot be countered or guarded against. Therefore, the only hope for not being killed by it is to avoid it. It is usable only twice in any single thread, and its movement speed is equivalent to the user's maximum possible movement speed. (Speed + Step technique)

A special property of this technique is that it can be charged and then dispersed without being fired. If this aspect is used, there is no consequence to the use of the technique. This special property is how Lanza prove themselves at meetings.

How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]

Stated above. Used like a regular Cero, in a way.

Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]

Aside from the massive reiatsu cost of a class 0 technique, this technique comes with the steepest price of all. The soul. It requires a part of the user's soul to be used with it. Therefore, for each use (excluding special property), lifespan is shortened. Also, the user's insides instantly turn to ash, then reform. This sudden restarting of the system makes the user incredibly vulnerable, as it jolts them into a still paralysis in that very moment for several seconds. Likewise, it is a painful process. Using this twice in a thread results in the user's body breaking down completely in muscular and skeletal structuring, and their skin burns quite a bit. It can be used a third time in a thread, but the drawback in this case is death.

Human Life

Kuroi Naito was born in 1790 to Caucasian parents. Both were Americans, and their original names were Nate River and Sara Johnson. However, upon moving to Japan a year before Kuroi's birth, the two quickly renamed themselves so that they could fit in better. They gave Kuroi a Japanese name as well. Being a foreigner, Kuroi had some trouble making friends. Kuroi was soon picked on constantly. He hated being picked on, but there was really nothing that he could do about it, the bully was a lot bigger than he was, and probably stronger too. Kuroi got pushed around, and eventually he got tired of it. He went out, and started looking for someone that could teach him the basics of fighting. It didn't take him long before he located a man called Shizu Koban.

Shizu Koban taught Kuroi how to fight decently over the course of the next month. He gave him enough skills to confront and fight the bully. Kuroi returned to school, bigger, stronger, more confident than ever. There, he demanded for the bully to fight him later, after schoolling. The bully agreed, and as the day of schooling and education ended, Kuroi and The Bully went off to behind a nearby building in order to square off. They did it with many people watching, which was what created a tragic ending to what should've been a happy ending later.

Confrontation with Bully:

Kuroi pulled up his fists, and planted his feet, sending the power down into his legs and hips as he bent his knees. He took on a horse stance, and smashed his fists together, before raising them up in front of his face. Despite being prepared over the last few months, Kuroi still had doubts. The bully was twice his size, at least, and easily twice his weight as well. Kuroi would have a very difficult time despite his skills. He was confident, but not confident enough to believe that he'd get out of this fight unscathed. Kuroi wanted to get out unscathed, though he knew he wouldn't.

"Are you ready for defeat?" Kuroi asked. The Bully grinned. "I will disgrace your family with this victory." he said. Kuroi bounded forwards, punching the Bully straight in the face. A shattering noise occurred, followed by a spray of blood. The Bully grabbed Kuroi out of the air, and shoved him into the ground, starting to punch his face. Kuroi looked up. He'd broken The Bully's nose. Kuroi felt a flame of pride roar through his body, stopping all of the pain that the Bully was inflicting on him.

Kuroi shoved the Bully off, and stood up. He dove at his enemy, double kicking him in the chest, and launching off. He back flipped in mid air, landing on his feet. He charged forward again, and punched The Bully in the face once more. "I AM TIRED OF YOU DISHONORING ME!" Kuroi shouted. "TODAY I WILL DISHONOR YOU IN FRONT OF ONE HUNDRED OF OUR PIERS!" He began rapidly punching the Bully in the face, before rolling off, and grabbing the Bully's left arm.

Kuroi secured his palm in a press against the elbow, and locked his arm around the wrist. He pushed on both, opposing forces pressing on the arm. Within a few moments, a snapping sound occurred, and The Bully screamed as his arm was broken. Kuroi quickly punched his open mouth, knocking out a couple of teeth to shut him up. Kuroi went to the other arm, and locked that too. He broke that arm as well, issuing screams from the Bully.

Kuroi next moved to the left leg, securing the knee joint and the ankle. He pushed, and snapped the leg, breaking it as the Bully screamed in his obvious pain. Kuroi wasn't done yet. He was going to break all of the Bully's limbs. "This is what happens!" he shouted. He broke the Bully's other leg as well, fulfilling the defeat. Kuroi quickly stood up, and kicked the Bully in the head as hard as he could.

There was stunned silence, and people began backing away. "You're a freak!" someone exclaimed. "What have you done?!" another demanded. Kuroi was shocked, horrified. Why was everyone doing this to him?! He'd thought that he was proving himself in honor! Everybody hated him for it! What was the point of any of this at all?!


Kuroi was ignored, isolated in a cold icy feeling by everyone that he knew. Nobody would speak to him, or even look at him. Kuroi simply did not exist to anybody else it seemed. As a result, he grew depressed, and he grew tired of living in that time period. He decided that he must die, simply to put himself out of his misery. They rejected him, causing him to go off and try to bury himself in ice. He was frozen, and somehow lived through the ice. It was uncertain how, for scientifically it was known that he should not have survived that. He awoke over a hundred years later, still a child. He wandered to an orphanage in Japan, where he was quickly taken in. After a year or so there, Kuroi was taken in by new parents. He was happy, people actually accepted him.

He had trouble adjusting and making more friends, but that did not stop him from making two best friends, Miharu Jonuchi and Shikisan Kokaru, along with his dog Candy. Kuroi grew up with a normal childhood for the most part. When Candy died of old age, he was crushed, utterly saddened. This incident however, brought him even closer to one of his two best friends, Miharu Jonuchi. The two of them started dating, and on numerous occasions expressed their love to each other physically. After over ten years of dating, Kuroi selected his other friend, Shikisan, as his best man, and proposed to Miharu, who whole heartedly agreed. It was during that time however, that Kuroi was pulled into the Japanese Military to fight for land during the first World War. He came out as a Colonel then, and he settled with his family.

War fragment:

Kuroi hid behind a large rock, holding his gun. In this world, there is no God. All religion is wrong. I am here, away from my family, fighting for a cause that I do not even believe in myself. Kuroi propped himself up, aimed at someone's head, and fired. The bullet lodged into their forehead, spraying blood everywhere. Kuroi ducked back down, the spray of bullets that came after him hitting the rock instead. Kuroi moved back up, and started shooting again.

He took two more people, before at last a bullet struck him in the shoulder. Kuroi cried out in pain, and dropped behind the rock. "KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE GLORY OF JAPAN AND FOR OUR GREAT EMPEROR!" someone shouted near Kuroi, obviously seeing him take the injury. Kuroi, forced to do this, took out a tool, and began fishing painfully through his wound with tweezers.

He pulled the bullet out, and tossed it aside. He put the tweezers away, and went back to shooting. The pain made Kuroi slightly delirious, made it painful to move his arm and squeeze the trigger. His aim was slightly off, shooting was becoming difficult. Soon, the war would consume and kill Kuroi if he was not treated. He ripped part of his shirt off, and tightened it in a bandage around his wound, making sure to do this so that he did not end up dying of blood loss.

Kuroi went back to shooting, and took out several more people. He then ran out of bullets, and out of clips. Kuroi cursed, and, taking his bayonet, rushed out from hiding. "FOR JAPAN!" he shouted, stabbing his bayonet into someone's heart. He ripped it out, snapping the bayonet cleanly off of his gun and slashing at someone else's throat with it. Kuroi was covered in blood. He was suddenly tackled by someone, and he began stabbing at them with the bayonet snappage. The person knocked the bayonet out of his hand, and Kuroi whipped out his knife.

He began slashing violently, but he was parried by a knife as well. Kuroi flipped the person off of him, and stabbed. By unfortunate chance, a bullet hit Kuroi dead in the gut, and he screamed, dropping to his knees in pain, and crumpling to the floor. The person had a chance to get up, and attack Kuroi again. He weakly parried and moved away, barely defending himself. However, by chance, his adversary was also hit by a bullet. Kuroi, rejoicing in his luck, shoved his blade into his enemy's forehead. He left it there, and latched onto another nearby enemy.

He wrapped his hands around his enemy's neck, and began to squeeze. The person that he was strangling reached up for him as well, but Kuroi was incredibly overpowering despite being injured. He continued his assault over the person, and within mere seconds, the person that Kuroi had been strangling was dead. This was good. Kuroi had managed to kill the person. Still, war was difficult.


Kuroi spent many happy years in both his marriage, and with a child that he and Miharu conceived. Eventually however, Kuroi was called away once more, this time to face American Forces for WWII. Kuroi was proud to serve Japan, and he was even promoted to General. He promised Miharu that they'd never be separated again when he returned. While Kuroi was out however, The Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, killing his friends and family. In rage, Kuroi attempted to murder several top class Japanese figures, whom he blamed since they did not back down when they had the chance. He failed, and was almost caught and arrested.

WWII Fragment:

"THOSE DOGS INVADE OUR HOME!" Kuroi shouted. "GO NOW, FOR THE GLORY OF JAPAN, AND KILL ALL OF THEM!" Japanese soldiers rushed out upon his command, going off to shoot at people. He wore his clothing, and he stood upon a tower. He seemed invincible, and his iron will allowed him to not budge a single inch no matter what happened. Stone hard discipline over several years allowed him to take anything that was thrown at him without much visible turmoil. Internally there was turmoil, but externally he was a fiery beacon for courage.

"Focus your return cannon efforts on the ground behind their lines." Kuroi commanded confidently. "It does not matter if you hit any of them or not. Do not stop bombarding until I give the word." His voice was a thunderous blast, echoing to everyone's ears. And yet, the enemy was deaf to his commands, not knowing of his plans. A blade flew straight towards Kuroi, and his left hand flicked up, catching it an inch before it hit his eye. A bullet slammed into his arm dead on, and he hurled the blade away right after. He seemed undamaged as he returned his hands to the position before, and did not move back even a centimeter. His arm was bleeding and was visibly trembling a bit, but when he spoke, his voice held no pain. "Grenade Squad, break their lines in the top and bottom with your basic grenade launchers, then scatter the center with the more advanced rocket launchers." Kuroi looked around. War was going well.


Sex scene between Kuroi and Miharu. Don't read this if you don't feel up to this kind of stuff. It's really detailed and stuff. Perverts unite. Mainly I'm posting this to fluff out my history so that it's got tons more detail than before and I have a better chance at good ranking.

Kuroi pulled away for a moment, before leaning back in to kiss Miharu. He started moving his hands across her warm back as their kissing grew more urgent, faster paced. Miharu drew away this time, and spoke. "I…I want it Kuroi…" she whispered very suddenly. "I want to love you…" Kuroi was taken aback by this, but he did not hesitate to continue.

Kuroi unzipped Miharu's coat, and pulled it off, revealing the netting that she wore over her bra. Kuroi was annoyed that Miharu wore the netting, but luckily he knew how to take it off. He quickly unhooked every latch on it, since the hooking was only on one side. Luckily Miharu only wore netting on her upper half. Kuroi pulled it off, unveiling Miharu's silver bra. "32D…" Kuroi guessed in his mind. He wasn't particularly familiar with sizes, but he was fairly certain that that was a size. Kuroi wasn't in a hurry, so he took his time. He held Miharu close, kissing her fiercely, before pulling away again. He moved down, kissing around her lips, before kissing down to her chin, neck, and shoulders. Miharu squeaked, a faint blush coming to her face. Kuroi came back up, and lightly bit Miharu's ear lobe. Miharu squeaked again, and Kuroi licked her neck. On that same spot, he started sucking on Miharu's neck. She kept her mouth closed for a bit, her eyes closing for a second. Miharu let out a soft moan, and Kuroi pulled away, taking off his jacket, and letting it fall to the ground. Kuroi reached behind, and unhooked Miharu's bra. He pulled it off, revealing her soft, perfect breasts. Her nipples were pink, and medium sized, round, and perfectly placed at the center. Kuroi grabbed Miharu's boobs, and started massaging them methodically, causing Miharu to moan loudly from pleasure. Kuroi kissed Miharu's left boob, and started sucking on it while pinching the other nipple. Miharu moaned loudly. "Oh god…yes…Ooohhh.." The last one came out as a high pitched squeak, and Miharu could no longer keep herself from moaning. Kuroi pulled away from her boob, and started kissing her again, pinching her nipples with his fingers. Kuroi pressed himself up against Miharu, issuing full body contact. He then went back to pinching and massaging her nipples, and started licking and sucking on her stomach. Miharu moaned, and shifted about in place, nearing ecstasy. Kuroi pulled his hands up again, still licking Miharu's stomach. He grabbed her pants, and fumbled around with her pants a bit, unzipping and unbuttoning it. Kuroi pulled off Miharu's pants, and started kissing her thighs. Kuroi went back to pinching and massaging Miharu's nipples, and he took one hand away from that, replacing it with his tongue, which he moved across her right boob.

With his right hand, Kuroi started touching Miharu's womanhood through her panties, which were very much soaked. Miharu cried out in ecstasy, the pleasure still building as Kuroi continued. He then proceeded to pull off Miharu's pink panties, and toss them aside. Kuroi opened up Miharu's legs, and started teasing her with his fingers, touching her, but purposely avoiding the most sensitive areas. Miharu was crying out in pleasure, moaning as tears streamed from her face because of the pleasure. Kuroi decided to be merciful, and he put his fingers inside Miharu. He used his middle and index fingers, pushing them in and out over and over, and also scissoring them. Miharu was moving quickly at that point, moaning tremendously. "F…faster…" she whispered. Kuroi obeyed, moving his fingers faster through Miharu. After a while, Miharu came, and sexual fluids spewed out. Kuroi went down there, using his fingers to touch Miharu's breasts while he sucked on her womanhood. Miharu moaned and cried from the pleasure while Kuroi put his tongue inside her, moving it in and out while sucking. Miharu shifted, and managed to tap Kuroi's leg. Kuroi quickly took off the remainder of his clothing as his member solidified completely. "P…please…" Miharu whispered. "Kuroi…I…I want you…I need you inside me…" Kuroi obeyed, kissing Miharu passionately while going inside, penetrating her. Kuroi penetrated Miharu quickly, going in and out as she moaned, blushing a deep red. Kuroi touched Miharu all over her body while he was inside of her. Miharu came again, the wetness acting like a lubricant, making it even easier for Kuroi to penetrate Miharu over and over. Miharu screamed from the accumulated pleasure, and Kuroi pulled in and out faster than ever.

Kuroi winced, indicating that he couldn't hold it much longer. "Y…you can cum Kuroi…" Miharu whispered. "It's a safe day…" Kuroi let it all out, a huge amount of white fluids entering Miharu. He came inside of her, letting it hit, and drip down her G-spot. Miharu suddenly cried out, arcing as she bent back like a bridge. A large amount of fluids released from Miharu as she convulsed from pleasure. She was having an orgasm, and it was making Kuroi feel incredible. "She's squeezing me so tightly…" Kuroi came again, and Miharu cried out, screaming and moaning from the pleasure that Kuroi was giving to her. At last, they were finished. Kuroi and Miharu held each other, completely naked. Miharu smiled as she looked at Kuroi, and Kuroi kissed her softly. "I love you…." he whispered. "I love you…" she whispered back. The two of them kissed for a long time, before at last falling asleep in each other's arms.


Kuroi managed to escape, and he went off to America, where he lived for a couple of years. He found a new girl, who he told of his exploits after some time of dating. Through a healing process of love and care, the girl brought Kuroi out of his depression, and he fell in love with her. He proposed to the girl, who refused him. Kuroi was crushed, but said he didn't want to lose her as a friend. Later, when the two of them visited Japan, she turned him over to The Japanese Authorities, who jailed him. Kuroi spent many cold years in Jail fending for himself, his hatred and anger growing. When he got out, he immediately went looking for the girl. Kuroi spent many months searching, and also looking for the reason why. It turned out that there had been a large reward for the one that could bring him in, and this shot pain through Kuroi. A loving friend, a girl that had cared for and nurtured him with such kindness, had turned out to be scum that would sell him out purely for money. Kuroi was disgusted, and he was infuriated.

Kuroi spent only one more month looking for her. He started tracing her through means of her relatives, whom she had given very good details on during their friendship. It took Kuroi a while, and he ended up murdering most of her relatives that he visited, but at last, Kuroi was told which family member would know where she was. Kuroi found this family member, her great aunt, and convinced the great aunt to tell simply by threatening the life of the girl's sister, who was present at the time. Upon learning the location, he killed both the great aunt and sister, and left in further search.

He found her at last, and he murdered her before shooting himself in the head. Kuroi was not certain exactly what happened. He vaguely remembered butchering her with a blade and skinning her alive while she was naked. He remembered shooting himself after doing this, and he remembered that he was dead. Kuroi died and became a spirit then, one with lots of emotional baggage. All of these negatives slowly consumed and corrupted him, turning into a large, and powerful hollow.


Hollow Life


As a hollow, Kuroi was constantly hungry. He went around eating many spirits, and even Shinigami that came to try and stop him. A total of 35 Shinigami fell to Kuroi's appetite, and at last, he became powerful enough to absorb other hollows. He found his way into Gillian Forest, where he himself became a Gillian, maintaining his personality. For a short time only Kuroi remained Gillian, for he devoured others with speed and strength that most hollows lacked. Eventually, Kuroi managed to evolve, and became an Adjuchas. He was a powerful lion-type Adjuchas with a spiked tail, and his mark was the solid black eyes with dark red glowing pupils. Kuroi killed and ate over 600 hollows by himself, though from time to time he gained [and eventually ate] some companions. Kuroi had no true companions in honesty, having learned to be alone due to his time as a human.

Kuroi had a sharp mind, and could remember everything. As a Gillian, he'd been slower than most, lagging behind the mass so that he could secretly devour more and more hollows. Kuroi loved the thrill of devouring them, and he loved the taste of their hollow meat. Kuroi as a Gillian, had the traditional cage-like mask of those that maintained their personalities instead of becoming mindless Gillian that followed the masses and could easily be slaughtered or bent to someone else's will.

As an Adjuchas, Kuroi wandered alone, eating any companions he obtained, living with the moon as his companion. He always had the fear of regression, something that all Adjuchas came with. The natural law and knowledge was that if one did not continue to eat, that being would regress, and lose their freedom of personality forever. Kuroi ate many meals over a long period of time as he tried to evolve, but failed constantly. What was wrong? Why couldn't Kuroi evolve? He was a rather large, and powerful Adjuchas, and he had powers that rivaled even some Arrancar. And yet, Kuroi still could not evolve.

Kuroi finally met a powerful stranger, who turned him into a Vasto Lorde after witnessing his strength. Kuroi however, did not like the idea of serving this man. He served, he obeyed, but he did not like it. He was reluctant, he despised the entire idea of it. Kuroi did not want to serve the man, and he did not want to be an underling to someone that he deemed weak. Eventually, he killed and ate the man, and went around with his new powers as a Vasto Lorde.

Kuroi was powerful, and in a humanoid form. He enjoyed his power, and he enjoyed killing others. There was seemingly nothing that he enjoyed more than killing and eating foes. He hoped to one day eat an Arrancar, even eat one of the so called mighty Espada. Kuroi kept going, not once stopping. Eventually, he got to where he wanted to. Las Noches. He joined there, where he was turned into an incredibly powerful Arrancar.

Arrancar Life



Kuroi spent a few years training and mastering his powers. He learned of one weakness, which was his recklessness during blood lust. To correct this, Kuroi decided that High Speed Regeneration would serve him better than a Power Increase, and a fortified Hierro would also work. Whether or not Kuroi gained these things, nobody is quite sure but Kuroi himself. Many assume that he gained the Hierro, but many also assume that the high speed regeneration aluded him, for to this day he fights with a seeming caution.

Kuroi met one particular stranger during his training, an Arrancar that did not belong to the man that had changed him and others, and a man with no rank or ties. When battling him, Kuroi was utterly defeated, and a scar was torn onto his back forever, a reminder of his humiliating defeat. Kuroi roared in shame, agony, and indignation. For even more years, he trained, he trained, and he trained more. He had to beat this stranger. His powers increased, his mastery of several arts increased. He grew to be a figure of strength, but also one of arrogance. Kuroi was strong, and people knew it, they respected it, and they respected him for his perseverance.

Kuroi decided that he wanted to become an Espada. But how to become an Espada? It was a difficult process, one that included overthrowing the current owner of Kuroi's desired number. Of course, 4 was his favorite number, but something about being the fourth Espada repulsed him, and so he decided to try for Five. He would overthrow the Fifth Espada. First of course, Kuroi had to find and defeat the stranger that had defeated him years previously. Kuroi requested a leave of absence, during which time he would search for someone.

He was granted this, and searched for the stranger with vigor and pride, and with strength as well. He searched high and low, following secretive clues such as "Your target lies in the back of the wind", and "He will be discovered with the twilight's first glow." These glows made little sense to Kuroi, but eventually, he located something else that was also of interest to him.

Kuroi discovered a large cavern in Hueco Mundo. Inside were silver markings and runes in an arcane, and ancient language that Kuroi had never seen, or even heard of before. It was mesmerizing, and Kuroi almost felt as if a great force, a great power was rippling from the symbols alone. Kuroi looked all around at them, marveling at their glory. It was then that his Ressurection activated on it's own, and absorbed the entire symbolic hierarchy of the cave. Symbols formed on Kuroi's Ressurection, and suddenly, he could read the speak the language to an acceptable degree. There were symbols and words that he did not know, but that did not matter. Kuroi felt more powerful then he had in ages.

What Kuroi does not know:

The runes significantly effected his body, and changed him. He grew powerful to the point that he gained the potential to unlock Ressurection Segunda, whereas before he could not ever have reached such a stage. As Kuroi's strength grows, the runes fade from his armor, and burn into his skin as scars. To date, it is not a noticeable occurence, and Kuroi is not yet aware of it. When he unlocks Ressurection Segunda [After I request it and it gets accepted], the markings will fully leave his armor, and burn into his flesh. Not only this, but they highly influence his Ressurection Segunda's power, which has not yet been discovered, but which already exists and is laid out.


While on his journey to find the stranger, he also decided to research the arcane runes. He found no designated name, but he found that the symbols contained power, and that any Arrancar to stumble upon them would gain the same power. Kuroi then learned that the vast majority of the caves containing these had been closed off, and only a few were left. Kuroi wanted to try to locate and steal or destroy the power in the other caves, for he had a fear of being overtaken by someone that had the exact same power that he had been given, for as opposed to having two ressurection abilities before, Kuroi's Ressurection gained a third ability, the ace move that he would use sparingly over many more years.

Kuroi at last located the stranger that he wished to battle, and the two had an epic clash of vicious proportions. Kuroi of course, got the best of his foe, killing him, butchering him, and destroying him. Kuroi felt satisfaction, a vicious high unlike anything that he had ever felt before. It was as if the blood of his destroyed enemy was a drug coursing throughout his veins, and it was something that Kuroi wanted to experience again. The only other way to experience it of course, was to destroy more enemies that Kuroi despised.

The Battle:

Kuroi drew his blade, looking at the stranger with open eyes. "Who are you?" he asked. The stranger smiled. "I am Goryuu Tasken", he said, "Lord of Hell." Kuroi actually broke his custom of emotionless composure, and laughed out loud at the statement. "Hell has no Lord, for there truly is no Hell other then Hueco Mundo." Kuroi said. Goryuu looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Your own home, this white desert, this is Hell?" he asked. To this, Kuroi responded in a harsh tone, "When you travel for years alone under the moon, scared of regression, you learn despair, and you learn that it is strongest here."

Goryuu laughed this time, drawing his own blade. "I feel that it is time we got to the action, don't you Kuroi?" he asked. "How do you know my name?" Kuroi hissed. "No need for explanations." Goryuu responded. He moved with a sudden, and powerful grace, bounding from the area he had stood in moments before, sand flying all around as a shock wave emitted from that spot, and a crater formed there. Kuroi found himself instantly hard pressed as he parried, and felt shock waves explode off of the point of impact. He felt his blade almost knocked from his grasp, but kept his grip solid and firm. Kuroi drew his blade away from that of Goryuu, and stabbed towards Goryuu, angling his blade in a nearly invisible twist as his blade soared towards Goryuu's chest. Goryuu brought up his blade to parry, but Kuroi's slid past with a twist, stabbing into Goryuu's chest.

Goryuu grinned. "GOOD GOOD!" he exclaimed. Kuroi's eyes gained a fierce insanity, and he laughed. "THIS IS GOOD! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!" Kuroi shouted with a grin. He roared with power as Reiatsu exploded all around, and he shoved his blade with a powerful clang against that of his foe. The two were evenly matched in terms of Reiatsu, Speed, and Physical strength. However, Kuroi decided that Ressurection would change that up a good amount. First however, he had to gauge his foe a bit more properly.

Kuroi aimed his left palm at Goryuu. A red beam of light began charging in his palm with an audible sound. Goryuu laughed as the Cero fired out, heading towards him. Kuroi rushed forwards right after the Cero fired, following it towards Goryuu, who side stepped it. Kuroi moved to the side with him, and shoved his blade down onto Goryuu. Goryuu parried, but Kuroi twisted his blade into a figure eight as soon as the impact occurred. With this, he disarmed Goryuu-or so he thought. A chain was attached to the blade, and Goryuu yanked on it, bringing his blade back as he shoved his knee upwards, straight into Kuroi's gut. Kuroi doubled over, and Goryuu slashed him across the chest, before grabbing his face and hurling him across the ground.

Kuroi grunted, but he quickly righted himself, getting back onto his feet. "Silence...Hora!" Kuroi's Ressurection formed, his hands and feet becoming clawed as he tore out of his boots, and his outfit becoming replaced by the armoring scale-like light suit. Kuroi rushed forwards, his sword gone. He slashed with his claws, and Goryuu blocked. However, Kuroi quickly released blades of a black bone-like substance from the slits of his wrists, which stabbed into Goryuu's arms. Goryuu grinned, and Kuroi slashed again. Goryuu blocked both with a diagonal twist of his blade, but Kuroi, in response, simply let his blades retract, and blades of steaming red reiatsu replace them. He drew them in a quick flicking motion, and again Goryuu blocked.

Kuroi hacked multiple times in the same spot, but Goryuu was in too much of a combat high to notice. Kuroi, at that point, was actually out of his blood lust phase, because he knew that he would be defeated by Goryuu should he enter it. Kuroi quickly struck again, and Goryuu parried, allowing Kuroi to strike the same spot. Kuroi grinned as his blades carved cleanly through Goryuu's Zanpakutou. Goryuu cursed, and dove away as Kuroi aimed to slash again. Upon his missing, Kuroi had his blades retract. Spinning blades in an X shape materialized on his wrists, one per, and made of the same black bone-like substance as before. Kuroi prepared to strike, but suddenly saw that his opponent was charging something. "Gran Rey Cero?! I thought that only Espada could-"

Kuroi was cut off as it fired, and he dove away, firing at the outstretched arm of his opponent, right below the Gran Rey Cero. The blades carved cleanly through the wrist, severing the hand as Kuroi rushed forwards, his ordinary blades generating again. He hacked cleanly across Goryuu's chest, and dropped, kicking Goryuu in the face. Kuroi had trained himself for years, and went based on memory of Goryuu's strength. Goryuu didn't stand a chance.

Not to mention, Kuroi had learned something. Goryuu did not have a Ressurection. Goryuu was powerful, but without a central ability, or something else, he was toast. If all he had was Cero and a sword, Goryuu couldn't possibly win if Kuroi had a superior strategy. Kuroi carved straight into Goryuu's heart as these thoughts flooded his mind, and in a single sweep, the battle was over, Kuroi dragging his blades down, and away from each other in a slash from the waist. In that instant, Goryuu was severed at the waist, carved into several pieces from the earlier slashes. Kuroi had won, and a grin was spreading on his face as blood sprayed everywhere.



After years of searching, Kuroi made his return to Las Noches, and did so tired of being in the shadows. It was time to try and take his place as Espada, something he desired greatly. Kuroi would undergo a few missions, and he would try a few battles. He would ensure that his skill was up to par, and would work for him. Kuroi would make sure that he could outdo the current Espada, and take their places.

With each night, Kuroi whispered a pledge. "I will bring you to the Privaron, and bring myself to your former stature." This of course, hinted at Kuroi's drama and his sense of theatrics. Kuroi's time was coming. He was a powerful foe, a powerful antagonist, and someone that generally did not feel like waiting very long for the Espada Spot that he felt he deserved. Before his power, Nuevo and Octava Espada were nothing, and Kuroi rose above their places. Taking his seat as an Espada, Kuroi quickly defeated all that dared to oppose him.

Kuroi rose to more and more ranks, and it seemed that nobody could defeat him, nobody could take him, nobody could stand up to him. Kuroi, even to this day, wishes to overtake someone. He wishes to become the King of Las Noches. In recent years, power has been demonstrated to Kuroi to make him content to serve the current King, though plans to usurp the spot have never once left his mind, and if he ever gets the chance, he will seize it.

Second battle with Goryuu:

Suddenly, a blast from nowhere flew towards Kuroi. The blast was a Cero! What? An Arrancar is here? Kuroi dove away from the blast, and landed with a roll forwards. Kuroi stood up, whirling around to face his opponent. He stared in shock, not revealing much emotion, but inside his emotions were bubbling. How? I killed him! The man before him wore a white shirt with a collar and three buttons on the chest. He wore matching white pants, and had tanned skin. His hair was a black afro, and his eyes were ocean blue. He had a Goatee, and wielded twin blades.

"Goryuu Tasken", he said. "Crepusculo." Kuroi frowned. "Crepusculo?" Goryuu grinned. "We're a rogue Arrancar Organization. We will destroy and overthrow all of the Espada, and those in Las Noches." That added some to Kuroi's little adventure of course. After he dealt with Goryuu, he could hunt both The Noble Guard, and Crepusculo. Destroying two organizations would be rather beneficial to Kuroi's expertise in battle, and to his status with the other Arrancar. He would be well respected for it, and rising through the ranks would become all too easy.

Kuroi held his blade in his right hand, his grip tightening. He aimed it towards Goryuu, who grinned. "Shall we dance?" Goryuu asked. Kuroi was about to attack, but Goryuu spoke. "Melt down the building blocks of God, NARAKU!" Instantly, black flames rose up everywhere, all around. Kuroi looked around in shock as the flames rose around. "New Zanpakutou?" he asked. Goryuu smiled. "You noticed?" Kuroi kicked the sand. "Of course I noticed. How did you manage to procure this?"

Goryuu's flames danced all around. "You don't need to know." "Fine." Kuroi put his left hand over his blade. "Silence, HORA!" His outfit became replaced by the armoring substance of his Ressurection, and twin hilts slid into his hands from his wrist slits. The silver runes on his armor seemed to be fading, but Kuroi did not yet notice. Wild, furious blades of white Reiatsu ignited on both hilts, and Kuroi stared forwards at his opponent. "Are you ready to battle me, weakling?" Kuroi asked.

"I am more ready than you were when you fought me the second time around." Goryuu replied. "Just because you're an Espada now, does not mean that you can defeat me!" The two of them took one good look at each other. They both held two blades, they both had vicious powers. In a burst of speed, strength, and Reiatsu, the result of which drew shockwaves, the two of them burst forwards. Kuroi lashed out, his blades taking on their concentrated forms. He slashed with the left hand one, diagonally downwards. It was a chopping motion to Goryuu's neck. Goryuu brought up one of his blades, parrying with initial ease. He then leaped back, and fired off twin Cero instantaneously from his blades. Impossible! He didn't even charge them! Kuroi slashed cleanly through the Cero, before continuing forwards to attack Goryuu.

He slashed with both blades, but Goryuu parried both. Kuroi twisted one blade into a figure eight movement, disarming Goryuu. Kuroi then turned his blade back to it's uncontrolled form, pressed a button on it, and dove away. Kuroi quickly performed Sonido, moving away from the spot. Even as he escaped, a gigantic explosion occurred. It ran throughout the hallways and everywhere else, obliterating almost everything on that floor. Kuroi was blasted out of the castle by the raw power, and soared outwards, straight down into an enormous desert.

The sun was shining brightly, irritating Kuroi. Goryuu hopped out of the castle, covered in burns. He had third degree burns in some places, but the rest were first degree. "You protected yourself", Kuroi noted. "How?" Goryuu smiled, standing fully upright. "I was defeated by you once before", he said. "I have since learned about you. I know how to take you out."

"Then I'll defeat you with my one remaining blade", Kuroi said. "And then we will see who the stronger one of us is!" Kuroi lashed out, taking a two handed grip on the blade. He slashed with it, and Goryuu took a two handed grip on his remaining blade as well, parrying Kuroi's strike. The two blades collided viciously, shockwaves exploding off of the point of impact. Kuroi jumped back, as did Goryuu. Both charged Gran Rey Cero, and fired. The attacks struck each other with explosive power.

Goryuu materialized next to Kuroi very suddenly, kicking him in the side of the head. Kuroi gasped, flying to the side, away from Goryuu. He rolled in the sand, uprighting himself just as Goryuu launched above him, crashing down with a two handed blade strike. Kuroi parried, before twirling his blade around, side stepping, and slashing. He moved past Goryuu, raking a large slash across Goryuu's shoulder. Goryuu howled in pain as Kuroi completed the slash, the two of them whirling back around to face each other once more.

They moved forwards, their blades colliding, and Reiatsu bursting all about. "You asked before how I defeated your explosion", Goryuu said. Black flames rose up out of nowhere. "THIS IS MY ANSWER!" Kuroi whirled all around, cutting the flames wildly as they approached him. There's too much fire...It's going to get me soon...

Kuroi decided that the best course of action was simply to swap to offensive. He braced the flames, cutting through those that came at him, and taking burns along his sides. Flames quickly began giving him second and third degree burns, but Kuroi ignored them. His armor and Hierro would both protect him from any significant damage for the next 12 or so seconds. Kuroi kicked Goryuu in the face, knocking him back and causing the flames to cease. He needs concentration! Perfect! Kuroi slashed Goryuu's chest, the wound immediately cauterizing.

Goryuu screamed in pain, unable to refocus and get his flames back. "Godamn you!" he shouted. "God?" Kuroi asked coldly. "Let him try..." He rushed over, shoving his blade into a powerful slash towards Goryuu's throat. Only at the last second did Goryuu manage to parry, and kick Kuroi in the chest. Kuroi fell back into a stumble away from Goryuu, his blade flying out of his hands. At the last second there, he managed to press the revert button. The blade reverted to it's wild, untamed form. Kuroi fell backwards, sending a Cero forwards straight into the blade. Kuroi then pointed a Gran Rey Cero at the ground, and fired. He was blasted into the air, covered in vicious burns.

The explosion detonated, and Goryuu screamed. His black flames managed to come up at the last possible instant, and they were nearly fully blasted away. Goryuu sustained far more injury and damage than the previous explosion. This included about twelve third degree burns, half of his face missing, and one of his arms being blown off. Kuroi landed, observing Goryuu's blood dripping out. "You're weak", Kuroi said. "Why is that?"

"SHUT UP!" Goryuu exclaimed, rushing forwards. Kuroi, bladeless, decided that it was time for his final ability. "Silencio Hazo." Twin blades materialized on his wrist slits. They shimmered powerfully, their outlines visible. They were transparent, but not invisible. Kuroi dashed forwards, slashing at Goryuu. Goryuu only barely managed to parry, and Kuroi slashed with his second blade. Goryuu whirled around, but Kuroi landed a small scratch against Goryuu's shoulder. Goryuu gasped very suddenly, his movements instantly slowing down. "You've lost 10% of your speed", Kuroi said. "The ability of Silencio Hazo. It strips away speed with each hit. The more major the hit, the more you're going to lose."

Kuroi rushed forwards again, bashing his two blades into a cross slash forward. Goryuu parried, but Kuroi scraped his blades down onto Goryuu's wrists, severing them. Goryuu screamed, his speed reducing massively. He tried to move away, but his speed was already almost completely capped. He could no longer function properly. Kuroi kicked Goryuu to the ground, shoving his blades into Goryuu's chest. Goryuu's movement nearly stopped because he was becoming so slow, and Kuroi's hits over and over only made it worse for Goryuu, who could not defend anymore. Normally, hitting wouldn't have been so easy, but Goryuu was already heavily injured. "IT'S OVER!" Kuroi shouted, swinging his blades in for the coup de grace. In an instant, his blades severed Goryuu's head from his body, ending the battle. "Feel pain and death in one", Kuroi whispered.

Now of course, in recent years Kuroi has come to learn other things. Changing his attire to a suit, even having the appearance of his release modified by a scientist, and erasing the markings on his body through increased strength, Kuroi has come to see the world in a new light. Not just through his use of C-weapons has he grown stronger, but through his mastery, and his use of other weapons. Kuroi has learned that stepping into the light is necessary, and thus, overtaking the spot of a gradually weakening opponent, Kuroi took on the spot of the El Plomo Espada. He no longer feels that it is necessary to weave in only the shadows, when he can weave in shadows and light both.

Taking the new spot and rank, Kuroi has of course defeated many foes. One of those includes the Ogatago, Erakos The Hammer. Another includes his meeting with Vizard Leader, Zouma Santeku. Kuroi has also learned of the uses of other weapons, basically of foreign technologies. He has even come to face powerful enemies known as the Escudo, fighting against a counterpart known as Shiroi Dei. And, of course, Kuroi has become stronger than ever. Defeating Shiroi, Kuroi made a promise with the closest thing he has had to a friend since his life as a Hollow. He will continue to grow stronger, and defeat others.

----Continued Exerts: Becoming the greatest swordsman----

[Day 1] (Note: Grimoire is doing this because he is technically "friends" with Kuroi.)

Clang!

"Is that all, Kuroi Naito?" a voice grumbled with the depth of a dragon's stomach. The monstrous, evil tone was menacing. Blades were slammed up against each other. At that moment, two figures stood, each holding only a single blade. One was a man in black khaki pants and black dress shoes, but who wore no shirt. His bare torso was fresh, vitalized, and it had very good tones. The muscles were great, he had an eight pack, etc. His hair was black, and short. His eyes were black, and staring intently at the enemy. The other one was not even a man, some would think. He was a huge monster of over seven feet tall, with gigantic rippling muscles, orange skin, and a contorted, demonic face. His skin looked contorted in general, in fact. The two present were Kuroi Naito, Segunda Espada, and Grimoire Acero, Primera Envainar.

In Kuroi's grasp, a guardless blade that glowed with some sort of white aura. It was a beautiful, majestic katana. On it, the word "Contrivance" was visible in white text. In Grimoire's grasp, there was an enormous white katana, easily larger than an average buster sword, and yet regular katana size to Grimoire. Both held their blades in their right hands. "What did you ask me, Grimoire Acero?" Kuroi asked in a tone of voice indicating not only insult, but menace. He was willing to kill Grimoire for uttering such nonsense. Grimoire's blade was great however, and it was pressed up tightly against Kuroi's. Grimoire's strength was pushing Kuroi back ever so slightly. Their locked blades were not evenly matched in physical strength at that time. "I asked you if that's all you can muster in strength, Segunda Espada." Grimoire clarified boldly.

Instantly, his blade began pushing with more force. "With the way things look right now...your skill with the blade will never equal mine. With the way things appear, you will never reach your goal. Right now...YOU'RE WEAK!" Instantly, his blade broke through Kuroi's guarding stance, and Kuroi had to force himself back, knowing what was coming. Instantly, it was as if white flames were visible in front of Kuroi, dancing towards him. This was actually Grimoire's sword, moving with such blurring speed that it looked like fire. If the flames even touched Kuroi, no doubt his body would be shredded completely. "Jigoku no Bijutsu: Saisho no Buredofomu." Grimoire declared. Kuroi's eyes narrowed and he quickly kicked his foot upwards. Instantly, a new blade was there, this time in his left hand. In a flash of light, he'd gotten a new sword. This one was black and curved like a lightning bolt just at the guard point.

He began to spin his blades like buzz saws in his hands. Winds danced around his body, though without the same significant power as Grimoire's would tend to draw. The winds were enough to angle Grimoire's blades away from intended target stroke areas by a full inch, allowing Kuroi to glance Grimoire's incoming blade directly off of his two blades, therefore blocking Grimoire's attacks as Kuroi continued to back away. By backing up and deflecting literally every stroke even an inch away from himself, Kuroi initially prevented Grimoire from killing him with this sword style. However, it was obviously quite tiring. "Oni...FUKUSUHA!" Kuroi declared. He began moving his blades with even more blurring speed, attempting then to hold his ground. Sweat began dripping from his body as he blocked off the vicious rampage from Grimoire. Most swordsman would be dead by now. Kuroi was proving that he was extraordinary.

"I don't intend to lose." Kuroi told Grimoire then, their blades continuing to meet. Kuroi suddenly whirled to the side, Grimoire's blade nicking his bare shoulder just barely, drawing a small droplet of blood. However, Kuroi flicked his foot as he propelled off of it, into Grimoire's discomfort zone as a third blade made it to Kuroi's mouth. This one looked like a much more ordinary katana, though with a very fine blade to it. He held it in his mouth by the hilt, of course. He spun, moving the blade in his mouth upwards to slash to Grimoire's face. Grimoire on the other hand was busy whirling to the side in an attempt to dodge fierce slashes from the two blades that Kuroi held. In this way, Kuroi caused his mouth blade to rake across Grimoire's left cheek. It wasn't a deep wound, only enough to get a single droplet of blood, just like Grimoire's earlier strike to Kuroi's shoulder. "Karatsubasa."

However, getting that wound on Grimoire during a sword fight was impressive enough in itself. The two had their backs turned to each other as Kuroi blurred past Grimoire, skidding forwards, around eight meters away. The two turned to face each other, and the gap instantly closed. "Jigoku no Bijutsu: Dai Sodofomu." Grimoire declared. It was suddenly as if rain from in front was falling forwards, moving to Kuroi not from above, but from in front of him. In reality, it was Grimoire's blade, which stabbed furiously towards Kuroi with insane speed, precision, and power. Kuroi instantly switched back to Oni Fukusuha, letting his third blade fall from his mouth, touching his shoe and instantly disappearing in a flash of reiatsu. With his two blades, he began to continue spinning them, using winds to move Grimoire's blade by a mere inch, and just barely manage to adjust this to deflect strikes away from himself.

It was only by a hair that each new strike continued to miss Kuroi. In the meantime, he was attempting with the best of his ability to observe Grimoire. He wanted to know all about Grimoire's fighting styles with these blades. He was naturally very, very interested in it. He was going to master it himself, in fact. He'd learn and master Grimoire's Hell Art Sword Forms! It would take days, probably weeks or months even. Hell, years would probably pass before he had it truly down. Kuroi didn't even have the speed to master it. He would have to increase his speed somehow to do that. However, Kuroi had faith in himself. He'd succeed inevitably. By learning Grimoire's styles, and adapting this power, he'd become stronger. By doing this, Kuroi had confidence. By continuing to improve his own swordstyles, and then learn Grimoire's too, he would become...the greatest swordsman alive.

That was Kuroi's goal, his absolute dream! With this in mind, despite the sweat tearing across his body from trying to keep himself on an even level with Grimoire's relentless, maddening sword skill, Kuroi was able to continue. He was blocking strikes that would have long since finished off any normal swordsman. However, he knew that there was more to come. Grimoire did not use only one single blade. He used two blades. Grimoire was being rather chivalrous, and going easy at that moment. His sword style was possibly holding back a bit. Even if it wasn't, he was only using one blade, rather than two. Kuroi knew his own limitations. In a duel of swords, Kuroi would have already lost if Grimoire had started with his two blades, rather than just one of them. Kuroi had had to resort to three just to land a blow against one. This was not an easy battle by any means.

At last, Kuroi broke away, just barely managing to escape Grimoire's invincible onslaught. He wasn't wrong in his original impression of the Akki. Being the Primera Envainar, it was only natural for Grimoire to be exceedingly powerful. Kuroi had judged him to be so strong, it was maddening, even from the very start. Grimoire had not disappointed him in this regard. Grimoire's ability with the sword was top notch. In truth, Kuroi had only ever met one superior swordsman. In Kuroi's mind, Grimoire was #2. The second best swordsman alive, to Kuroi's perceptions. Grimoire was a demon straight from Hell. No one ordinary could use a style like that. Grimoire really, truly was an absolute monster. There was no doubt about it in Kuroi's mind. However, Kuroi knew something quite true as well. If he could master this, he'd be invincible.

Kuroi knew that not only would he be incredible if he was the greatest swordsman, but literally invincible. His Segunda Etapa for example neutralized reiatsu. It put everyone on a melee scale. If Kuroi had the same monstrous blade skill as Grimoire, things would not work out for any enemy that Kuroi ever encountered. Still, a problem presented itself. Kuroi was basically at the peak for his own speed. But, he needed to get even faster if he wanted to be able to use Grimoire's style. Grimoire had a 50% speed advantage over Kuroi. That was how fast Kuroi had to become to effectively use Grimoire's style. And yet, Kuroi didn't really know how he was supposed to do that. How could he boost his speed like that? Was it even possible for him? He really did not know. He got that speed in Segunda Etapa, but he wanted to be able to use it without. What could Kuroi do, he wondered.

SPOILER: Click to show

{History Part 2}[Day 46]

"Jigoku No Bijutsu: Saisho No Buredofomu. Ikari-En." That was Kuroi's voice, declaring the name of Grimoire's first hell art sword form, Rage Flames. Instantly, Kuroi was in swift action. This was the 42nd day in which he was attempting just this sword style alone. At that moment, Kuroi held a singular blade. The one he was using in that moment was Ashirein, the only one of his three new katanas that wasn't cursed. He wasn't ready to attempt this with a cursed blade, and he knew it. At least that much was quite obvious. Kuroi had already memorized the movement patterns of the style. It was now up to committing it to muscle memory, and forcing the body to use it. His blade was moving swiftly throughout the air, but it could still be seen as a swift moving blur. It wasn't flames in appearance, yet. Kuroi was simply too slow to get it to do that.

The blade moved, but could not reach the speed that Kuroi desired. However, next to him, Grimoire was practicing as well. They were training together, and Grimoire had allowed Kuroi to attempt to imitate his blade style. The two were friends, after all. Kuroi wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman, and something that Grimoire wanted was to hone his own skills by training with a powerful adversary. In terms of battle ability, Kuroi wasn't good enough to combat Grimoire with a blade. Grimoire was much stronger with the sword. Therefore, even if it took years, he was willing to help Kuroi with this. Next to Kuroi, Grimoire was using the blade quite well. It was fine for him. The flames were clearly evident, and obviously visible. He was master of this style, while Kuroi was learner to it. Kuroi could mimic the actions and movements, but he couldn't reach the speed to copy the style.

He was a fast learner, a genius in that regard. In terms of raw improvement, Kuroi was faster than anyone else. Anybody else that tried this would have failed many more times than Kuroi. No one could match him. Nobody could keep up with his improvement rate. It was a merciless pace. However, Kuroi's shortcoming here was his limitations. Despite his esteemed ability to copy the style, and train with it to "mastery," the most true fact in this training was that Kuroi completely lacked the speed that Grimoire did. Without it, Kuroi had no chance of actually using the style to its full effectiveness. He didn't know a way to increase his own speed, though. He'd reached what was assumably a "speed cap" in his own strength. Essentially, it was his limit. It would be very difficult for Kuroi to ever actually get any faster than he was at that time.

Kuroi had been going at this style nonstop. It had been well over twenty minutes of simply moving his blade in front of him in an attempt to use the style. Sweat was beading down his body like a waterfall, and his arms ached from exhaustion. His powerful muscles were clenched tightly, and his eyes did not blink at all. They were going a bit red. He was fatiguing, but showing no slackening of his determination. To become the world's greatest swordsman, Kuroi of course had to do this. He had to master the styles that Grimoire used, and that one more person used. He simply had to. That was the only way that Kuroi could become the world's greatest swordsman. By mastering and even customizing these styles just a bit. But, this of course begged the question. How? Kuroi could use the styles just fine in that moment, but not the speed. He needed the speed to do it.

Kuroi continued moving, keeping his eyes forward, but trying with his peripheral vision to see Grimoire doing it. He was trying his best to copy it. To copy that. He had the motions down to a tee. Identical. His speed, though! How could he possibly improve that?! It was a conundrum that Kuroi really just wasn't certain how to solve. And then it dawned on him. It came to him. The way that Kuroi could train his body to increase his speed. What if he met with more resistance when he attempted this style, and then overcame said resistance? What if he could do that?! If his speed became what it was presently at "normal" underwater, then it would most certainly be able to reach even higher peeks on land. Of this, Kuroi was absolutely certain. And so therefore, it was only natural that he was going to need to fill this room with water.

He'd also have to keep just a bit of a surface present up top, so that he could still get his oxygen when necessary at the very least. Kuroi felt like a genius for thinking this up. This was an even greater training method than he'd previously contemplated. And then, another idea came to his head. What if he did that not with a sword, but with an enormous weight? If he used a bench press bar with lots of weight stacked onto it, he'd increase his abilities even more! What if he could take advantage of this opportunity to create further improvements as well?! There were all sorts of things that Kuroi could do in order to expand himself and make himself even stronger than before! It was a genius idea. Kuroi had finally thought of it! A genius set of ideas. Strings that were going to give him a great amount of power indeed. He was going to get rather strong.

Grimoire and Kuroi stopped at the same time, and Kuroi then properly explained to Grimoire what it was that he was planning. Grimoire showed no surprise at all, and he even left the room for Kuroi, since his training for that day was done. Kuroi at that time promised Grimoire a great fight. The two of them one day would battle not just as equals, but as rivals in the art of the blade. Kuroi however would win, he knew. It was Kuroi who would prove himself to be the greatest swordsman alive. It was his goal, and his absolute dream. It was something he'd do no matter what the cost was! So, a few hours of preparation got Kuroi to fill the room with water, and put his blades away in favor of the random weight that he was wielding. It was extremely heavy, and very hard to swing around, especially underwater. It was more like a club than anything else.

However, Kuroi continued to use it anyway. At that point, it was worth doing it. Though it was extremely slow at first as he did it, he continued through the motions of the techniques that he had imitated from Grimoire, moving the weight through the water under those patterns. Of course it was slow. And in fact, from that day onwards, weeks passed of Kuroi simply locking himself in that room and training underwater for hours. From Day 46 onwards, there was no view of Kuroi to anyone except Grimoire, and one or two others who later came to train with and against Kuroi. At that point, it was perhaps 80 total days of training in which Kuroi gave into this training routine. This regiment that he had created was simply incredible, Kuroi thought. It wasn't something completely ordinary. It was something so amazing that no one could ever accuse Kuroi of weakness.

It wasn't until the 81st day of training that Grimoire managed to observe Kuroi again. It was then that he got to see the fruits of Kuroi's efforts. The water had not yet submerged the room. Kuroi first was going to use the style regularly, on land. It was something that he had yet to do. He hadn't done it in a while, so it was only natural that he did. Kuroi kicked his foot upwards, and a flash of light revealed one of his blades. It had the lightning bolt type blade, and it was the black one. This blade was called Ryu No Ketsuatsu Kou. It was one of Kuroi's two cursed blades. He was ready of course to use it with this style. It was when he first started up that it looked no different. At first, it still looked exactly the same. In truth, and in reality, Kuroi didn't look like he'd improved. Of course, that was only for one or two seconds of observation.

Next instant, some sort of white steam puffed out of his arms, which seemed to exhale. And in that instant, the steam dissipated, blasted aside by the sudden gusts of wind that followed Kuroi's strokes around. Then, it could be seen. There they were! The flames that could be witnessed when Grimoire performed the style. They were black, since Kuroi's blade color was black with Ryu no Ketsuatsu Kou. Kuroi was successful in his blade style. In fact, the flames looked even more brutal than that. If one stopped to take a look, it could be witnessed that Kuroi's speed in this style had even...surpassed Grimoire's. Of course, this was excluding when Grimoire used his own "Do-sequence" techniques or similar. However, the fact was that Kuroi had indeed mastered this style. It had taken 80 days to perfect what was coming. And yet, it was still incredible. Kuroi had done it. But, what had he done to get it done?! At least, he spoke. "Jigoku No Bijutsu: Saisho No Buredofomu!"

[Day 86.]

Two blades met in mid air, splitting the air with a metallic clanging sound. Just from there, one blade retracted itself, sliding away from the other one, and began to move in a blur of speed. It spun viciously towards the enemy, moving like a buzz saw in a way. This blade, at the start that extended from the hilt, was curved like a lightning bolt. The blade in general was also black, rather than any other ordinary blade color. Its wielder wore no shirt, wore black khaki pants, and had short black hair which glistened with sweat. His body looked fresh, though it did have some sweat on it, and his powerful, toned muscles moved reflexively in response to the other man, defending in fluid motions all the time. The other man had short black hair as well, rather empty looking eyes, and also wore no shirt. The blade that he held was a one handed saber type weapon with a red blade.

These were Kuroi Naito and Souzetsu Masarao, two who were training together at last once again after such a long time apart. In history, Souzetsu was the direct student of Kuroi Naito, having been trained by him for quite a while. He'd even traveled with Kuroi for a ways at some point. In truth, he was incredibly powerful, his skill with the blade being massive. He was also faster than Kuroi by a monumental margin, possessing a speed at the same level as Grimoire Acero. Of course, however, his skill with the blade far paled in comparison to Kuroi's. It was his speed that kept him alive as Kuroi continued to spin his singular blade around back and forth, slashing at Souzetsu, who could barely keep himself defending. He wasn't using Fullbring properties, despite being human, and was simply doing things with his blade only. It was a sword training fight.

Every now and again, he managed to launch a serious onslaught of vicious techniques, which Kuroi was able to defend against by deflecting constantly, continuously doing this every time Souzetsu mounted some kind of string of attacks. This was most certainly a hell of a fight, anyone could have to admit. Kuroi was using the blade known as Ryu No Ketsuatsu Kou. It was one of his two cursed blades, and it seemed to have a lot of power behind it, backing it as Kuroi fought against Souzetsu, who was using his Fullbring, Blade of Sorrow. Kuroi's katana was a strong one, but he was only using it in one hand. He didn't typically do two handed styles. Lately, he'd been training a lot more than before with his blade. He had set in himself the ambition to become the world's greatest swordsman. That was his goal, and his absolute dream.

Kuroi's sword was a fast, quick blur that always managed to deflect the attacks of his enemies, even Souzetsu's, though Souzetsu was much faster than Kuroi. Recently, Kuroi had reached a whole new level in his training, and had in fact managed to reach the epiphany of his power. He'd successfully mastered that which was his own strength. Essentially, he'd found a breakthrough, and managed a way to perfectly imitate and utilize the Hell Art sword forms that Grimoire employed. It was more costly to Kuroi to use, as he didn't have the centuries of mastery Grimoire did, and as he didn't have the same physical ability as Grimoire, nor the same monstrous body. He couldn't use it as well as Grimoire could, and this was the undeniable fact. But, it was also undeniable that his skill in the styling method was so great that most other swordsman couldn't face him anyway.

However great another swordsman became, most couldn't challenge Kuroi. Yet, he wanted to get stronger. He wanted to be the very best. In recent days, Kuroi had learned the name of the one known to be the world's greatest swordsman. That one was known to Kuroi by title only, and as an entrant in the Devil's Vendetta Tournament to soon be hosted. This man was known as The Displeased God. Therefore, it was only natural that Kuroi would improve himself in such a way that he could face and defeat this man, the Displeased God. Outside of the tournament, this one had another name, and this was what slightly worried Kuroi. Outside of the tournament, they called him The Undying Man. This meant that they saw him as a man that did not die. It meant he was better at taking damage, and people had seen him survive very wild things.

It meant that Kuroi had to watch out for something like that when he fought him. At any rate, Kuroi and Souzetsu continued. Kuroi's blade slammed into Souzetsu's, but Souzetsu held fast, pushing against Kuroi to force him a couple of steps back. Then, he released his barrage of slashes across Kuroi's torso, to no avail. Not a single strike hit, for Kuroi's blade blurred and spun all around in front of him to block and deflect every single hit. At last, one of his strikes found a small mark across Souzetsu's cheek, drawing a droplet of blood as it created a small cut on that one. Kuroi instantly blurred past Souzetsu, moving behind him. Steam ejected itself from Kuroi's skin, and his body. His pores had released it just then, as if his body was exhaling, or as if it was a locomotive engine. It was in that time that his speed had massively increased.

He was on par with Souzetsu then, moving past Souzetsu and getting behind him. And then, in the next moment, Souzetsu was forced to whirl and defend against the monstrous new styling that Kuroi had managed to pick up. "Jigoku No Bijutsu: Dai Sodofomu." Kuroi declared. His blade was stabbing viciously towards Souzetsu, and it was as if a black rain was crashing towards Souzetsu from in front of him instead of overhead. The rain was moving across at him, and Souzetsu was forced to continue to step back as fast as he could to attempt to evade Kuroi's massive onslaught attack. However, nicks, cuts, and various wounds that took droplets of blood still found their various ways to Souzetsu's body, marking and striking various different parts of his body. Kuroi was certainly a strong foe, one worth remembering. Souzetsu was having quite a bit of trouble.

Souzetsu backed away continually, immediately trying to escape Kuroi's invincible attacking onslaught. He was no match for it, especially when Kuroi changed his attack style very suddenly. "Jigoku No Bijutsu: Saisho No Buredofomu." And then, that was it. The flames were approaching Souzetsu. Black flames, vicious. They were daunting, terrifying flames that Souzetsu had no idea how to defend against at all. It was simply a shocking ordeal, really. His blade continued to move in an attempt to defend against Kuroi's riptide onslaught of power, but it was no use. It was to absolutely no avail. Souzetsu wasn't geared with the ability to fight against Kuroi's strength. And then, worse yet, reiatsu suddenly extended across the blade, and red reiatsu became visible across it, a gigantic blade forming. It was at least ten feet long.

This greatly increased the range, and made the flames black and red instead of just black. Souzetsu tried to block with his blade, but this was torn away from his grasp merely for the attempt, and instantly wounds splattered across his body, blood spraying out of numerous facets. In truth, and in the absolute reality of things, Kuroi had grown very powerful. His strength had been increasing progressively as time went on. He really was getting much too powerful for the good of anyone. His power was no longer something that Souzetsu could keep up with. As time went on, it became clear that Kuroi was at a level in strength far above any Espada. Perhaps in previous years it had been debatable who the strongest of the top three was. In these new days, there should be no dispute in that it was Kuroi, the Segunda Espada. Many said he should be Primera.

However, Kuroi had no interest in this sort of thing. He didn't plan to do it. He had no intention of ever becoming the Primera Espada. Though, he did remember that when he'd encountered the version of him 200 years in the future, he had been the Primera Espada. Did this mean that Kuroi would eventually change his motives? Would he inevitably change his mind and decide that he wanted to be the Primera Espada after all? When he thought about it, in Las Noches, he was already thought of as the strongest Espada. Perhaps Soul Society didn't know it, but people still thought of him in Las Noches that way. It wasn't much use hiding it anymore, was it? The number "2" did not suit his strength. The number "1" suited it better instead. However, it had been so long, already. Did Kuroi really wanted it? That #1 spot. Did he really wish to become the Primera? No. At that time, not yet. He didn't want to just then.

[Day 119]

"Asa No Ame: Jihi No Ato!" Declared a voice as a blade starting blazing across the area. This blade was quickly intercepted by a custom katana, which also moved at the same blurring speed. Steam could be seen as this happened. Between the two, it should be evident who each were. The speaker that countered the water-like style was using some style that made it appear as if fire was present. "Jigoku No Bijutsu: Dai Buredofomu. Ikari-En." The two speakers and combatants were very vicious in this, but it looked like the water type style was beginning to win over the flame type one. Of course, it was only natural. Water defeated flames. Within an instant, one had to retreat, and begin to block, while the other began to press. It wasn't a very close fight. One was clearly stronger than the other when it came down to terms of swordplay.

The first combatant, the one with the water-like style, was, believe it or not, a human. And it was he who was considered one of the top three greatest swordsman in the world. Just below him, Grimoire Acero. However, this man was said to be only #2. Whoever #1 was, he was of great and massive skill that far exceeded even this young man, who in himself was a genius in terms of the sword. He'd learned from a master who had previously held the position of second greatest swordsman in the world. This human was someone of incredible strength, but he looked rather casual to begin with. He had black hair, he wore a common school uniform, and he had an extremely friendly face. This man was not someone who looked at all threatening. And yet, when it came down to it, his skill with the blade was legendary. As one of Death Inc's PEAs, Nishiru Tokoheita was heralded.

Meanwhile, his opponent, the one who he was training, was someone quite familiar, obviously. This one was wearing no shirt, and he wore black khaki pants and no shoes. Steam had earlier emitted from his pores, out of his skin it seemed, as if his whole body was just taking a regular exhale. His hair was black, and cut short. In his right hand, he held a Zanpakuto with violet flame patterns across it. It looked like a cursed blade, but of course was his Zanpakuto, Hora. This man was without a doubt the most powerful of the Espada, and probably the fourth strongest of Sonken Kouhai's minions, behind Guujin Karai, and also behind the two Envainar that existed. In terms of swordplay though, Kuroi was certainly a step above both Envainar at that point. His skill had become quite legendary. Kuroi Naito, Segunda Espada, was the greatest swordsman in Las Noches.

"It's getting good, Kuroi." Nishiru declared boldly. "Your imitation of the Hell Arts is pretty good. But, your ability to counter my style isn't all that great. You been practicing my styles these past few weeks?" Kuroi of course was humble when under a master he was aware was indeed superior to him in strength. Though he didn't like it, he knew for a fact that this time around, he couldn't actually defeat this man. Nishiru Tokoheita was far too high above Kuroi in terms of actual strength, but this didn't mean that Kuroi couldn't just go ahead and strive to surpass Nishiru in swordplay ability. The skill with the sword was very important to Kuroi as well, after all. "I have indeed been practicing with your styles." Kuroi noted. Earlier in the training, Nishiru had given Kuroi detailed step-by-step analysis of how to do this. The reason Nishiru had agreed to this was he saw Kuroi's power and potential, and wished for Kuroi to protect someone important to him. Kuroi had of course found that someone.

"Why don't you use them against me?" Nishiru asked. "It's familiar to you." Kuroi responded. "Regardless of effectiveness, you know and can combat all of the moves that I utilize on you from your own styles. I cannot use them against you, for you will surely counter them flawlessly. To be successful, I must also be unpredictable." This was a truth, and Nishiru actually grinned. This was something all who wielded the blade knew very well, actually. To be predictable was to be dead. That was the law and order of things. Nishiru knew this, and Kuroi knew this as well. Wherever he was on that day, Grimoire knew this too. And, whoever he was, even the #1 swordsman knew this. Kuroi and Nishiru actually both wondered who that actually was. Many said that it was someone in the Devil's Vendetta Tournament. They called him "The Displeased God."

Whether or not he was that amazing simply remained to be seen. They'd witness him later on, of course. Kuroi blasted forwards, shooting towards Nishiru. Rocketing towards him like a torpedo, using his speed which seemed to presently match Nishiru's, Kuroi shot forwards so quickly that even Nishiru was taken aback, unaware that Kuroi had found methods to enhance his speed. Steam was ejecting from Kuroi's pores again. It should be noticeable that it hadn't been that long since Kuroi had done that before, though. Was the limit of the technique extremely short, or was it something else? When Kuroi began slashing in Grimoire's style again, Nishiru's eyes suddenly widened. Kuroi's arm was larger, and far more muscular. It was more than twice the previous size. Even the popping veins could be seen. Massive winds were blasting away Nishiru's blade as Kuroi slashed.

Nishiru...couldn't counter in time to block! No, he managed. Just by a hair's breath, the water-like style was there again, barely blocking Kuroi. However, the winds managed to force his blade to the side, and numerous slashes and cuts materialized all across Nishiru's chest, drawing blood. In semi-panic, Nishiru changed tactics instantly. It was as if a miniature wave of silver flames erected in front of him. Just like that, it was there, and Kuroi's attack couldn't break it. Blood exploded out of Kuroi's arms and shoulders as cuts made their way across his body. It should however have been noticeable that the cuts started to seal a few seconds after Kuroi skidded back, beaten back by the raw and vicious power of Nishiru's attack style. So then, one must afterwards consider that Kuroi had High Speed Regeneration active at that present time.

Their blades slammed into each other with great power, and Nishiru was blasted back, sent skidding. It was noticeable then that Kuroi's physical strength had massively expanded. It was quite a shock, really. Kuroi was going all out for Nishiru in terms of swordplay. His style was incredibly effective. This wasn't something that was seen every day.

Not just any swordsman could actively rise to meet the needs and requirements of their style, and certainly not just any swordsman could even perform all of these styles anyway. It was in that moment of realization that Kuroi fell upon Nishiru, and initiated Nishiru's water-type style rather than Grimoire's fire-type style. And when their blades continued to collide and clash again and again, wounds struck across each of them with equal measure. Whatever happened then, no one was certain.

And then, at the very end of it, both lay panting, exhausted. Kuroi noticeably had far more wounds, but the fact that both were forced to sit and pant indicated that the result might not have absolutely been Kuroi's defeat. Whatever was happening, Kuroi was definitely becoming very good at that which was swordplay. It was quite surprising, really, how quickly one could improve in so short of a time span. Kuroi Naito, Segunda Espada, was indeed a master of the blade. He wasn't just an ordinary prodigy, but a genius even among geniuses of the sword. This described Kuroi.

[Final Day: Day 130]

He was more muscular than before, noticeably. He'd become just a tad bigger, noticeably. His hair was a bit longer, since he hadn't had a chance to keep it neat recently, and this was also noticeable. His shirt was missing, and he was wearing black cotton pants then, as well as no shoes. He was taking this truly seriously. They were on a rooftop as pouring rain beat down on them within the human world. This was going to be quite a sight, for certain. He had eyes like a hawk and like a devil both. They were focused and all-seeing, but they were also menacing and devastating to look at as well. Whatever was going to happen, he certainly wasn't just playing around. His insane skill was far too great for that. His abilities were very high quality, very high level. Whatever happened next, he was insanely strong. His chest had a few more scars, noticeably.

In particular, there was nothing really special about his opponent. Like him, the adversary had a bare torso in the rain, and only cotton pants, though these ones were gray. His opponent's hair, just a tad longer than his, was drenched, soaked to the roots and plastered to his head, as if gelled greatly. His opponent's blade was held in the right hand, gripped tightly, just as his blade was out as well, also held tightly in the right hand. His opponent had eyes, calm like the wind, and unbending like steel. Eyes, cold like steel, his opponent focused on him with. With the two of them facing each other than in that moment, it was almost poetic in seeming value. The two of them had become great swordsman in the world through trial and error. Nothing was really going to escape them in each other. Their moves? Flawless. Time to see who was the better of them.

Like that, they launched forwards in a single instant. Their blades clashed, slamming into each other instantly. Steam blew out of Kuroi Naito, Segunda Espada's pores in an instant. The blade that he held was black, and curved just at the point where it began to extend from the hilt, like an oddly shaped lightning bolt. His adversary of course was merely Nishiru Tokoheita, a human, and Death Inc PEA, PEA to Zouma Santeku. He was using his traditional Fullbring blade. The two of them were blazing with insane speed, completely on par with each other. Kuroi's blade danced within the rain, for he had initiated first Nishiru's style. "Asa No Ame: Jihi No Ato." Kuroi declared at an identical time to Nishiru, the two of them initiating the exact same style instantly. Their blades clashed and clanged against each other, together.

It was as if two geysers had erupted into place, or better yet two waterfalls, and their paths crossed and marked. That was what it looked like as they continued to move their weapons at insane speed and with great ability and skill. Their continual clashing was intense, an incredible display unmatched by any other. The two of them, the combatants that could be truly matched by none, were continuing to fight to the end here. It wasn't to the death, but rather to the defeat, or the conceit. As both were stubborn, and neither would concede defeat until absolutely evident, it was for certain that this fight would continue until one was lost to the ground with a wound, and the other was not. Nishiru broke Kuroi's guard momentarily, being the superior at the style, and got a nick on Kuroi's cheek, and a droplet of blood. Kuroi cursed.

However, Kuroi's cut soon began to seal itself up. High speed regeneration was active as well, and his blood was washed away by the wetness that came with the rain as well. This too was evident. Both of them were soaked by their own sweat, but neither one had yet been touched by rain. Their blades were wild, moving and blazing so fast and so far everywhere around, that their bodies were even untouched by the rain as they fought. Not a single droplet of rain could find opening to make entrance across their skin. This was the synchronized incredibility of the two combatants, who were simply so powerful and so skilled that it was a wonder anyone ever bothered to fight them. To be underestimated was certainly a great asset to both of them. Their blades continued to smash together again and again, until of course Kuroi got tired of it.

"IKARI-EN!" he declared, his arms puffing out more steam. Very suddenly, his arms expanded, growing more muscular and large, vein popping, twice their original size. It was unbelievable, and his blade was blasting around intensely. Sweat continued to pour off of his body, but the winds were devastating. They were fully knocking back Nishiru's blade this time, and slices were making their way across Nishiru's chest. It was only through his own conviction and will, his own skill, that Nishiru was able to actually use his prior knowledge of his own techniques to maneuver himself a bit so he could use his blade to defend and stop himself from being carved apart. However, it was no good. It was to no avail, for blood continued to be met by Kuroi's weapon as he continually landed quite a few strikes on Nishiru. And then, things got worse.

In the middle of that, Kuroi began spinning, jumping, and flipping in blade, moving and juggling his blade in those same earlier mannerisms, but then kicking his legs out and catching two more blades very suddenly, one of them being Ashirein, the other being his second cursed blade, which then landed on the first blade he'd been holding. His Zanpakuto also appeared landing on Ashirein. It was then that four blades, moving with intense juggling and balancing maneuvers, were made to move around Kuroi. It was then as if a tornado of flames was advancing on Nishiru. More importantly, it was as if they were advancing on him, but also as if the flames were on his sides as well. The only place to go was behind, and yet if he took his eye off of the incoming flames for even a second, it was death. Even worse yet, the powerful winds were blowing him backwards.

He could well lose his balance or something from the insane winds, which also knocked particularly at his mid section, and his arms if they moved towards there. Essentially, this meant that if Nishiru tried to block to defend himself, his arms would be lifted and moved backwards, or at least to some direction slightly away from where he'd been aiming, so his block would either fail or miss. That was the skill which was being employed by Kuroi. It was ridiculous how incredible he was becoming with the art of the blade. Kuroi was a monster, a true and absolute demon. Some might even call him a God when it came to use of the sword. They should have at least one title saying "God" and "Swordsman" related to Kuroi, he thought. Both in one line. That would be quite amazing, would it not? Kuroi was very, very strong. He knew it, everyone knew it.

When the fight ended, details were of course uncertain. Whoever won was certain, however. For, though Kuroi was covered in as much his own blood as Nishiru's, he stood over the adversary with all four blades quickly being put away again, and Nishiru on his butt and on the ground. Kuroi was the winner.

The greatest swordsman in the world.

In later years of Kuroi's life, he faced off against the Ogatago, and other adversaries. Most importantly, his fight against the Primera Adalo De-Mona resulted in his Zanpakuto breaking and shattering completely. Kuroi was able to reforge it from his own soul, but while doing so also found a smith, who was able to forge Kuroi's Zanpakuto to greater durability and sharpness than before. It also caused changes in Kuroi's powers. Two of his techniques altered completely as a result of his new sword.

Once a human born a while back, Kuroi went through some traumatic experiences indeed. Yes, bullying. Yes, war. He saw his home, Hiroshima, obliterated in an instant. He was in the Japanese Army during World War II. This was a traumatic experience in his human life. His wife died, and so did his children. His best friends died too. Later of course he remarried, and later he was betrayed by that woman as well. He was imprisoned for trying to assassinate Japanese political officials as well. Though all of this happened, things worked out a bit.

Kuroi killed the woman and then himself, and his regrets made him into a Hollow. He was a Hollow who underwent many powerful changes and many battles. His powers eventually led him to become one of the Arrancar under the New King of Las Noches, after Azeru Cho, Shinigami Sonken Kouhai. Kuroi first ruled under the Octava rank, when he was a new Arrancar. Later, when his full power reached him, he was Segunda. And, when the rank still existed for a short while, he was "El Plomo Espada," or the one who led and commanded them all in terms of strategy and responsibility.

For decades, Kuroi tormented Soul Society with his power. For ages, it was Kuroi who destroyed and tested Shinigami and Arrancar alike. He was powerful, he was unbeatable, he was invincible. One day of course, this all changed. A powerful newcomer arrived in Las Noches, named Pravus. He soon earned a rank even above Espada with his power, becoming a left hand to Sonken Kouhai. And of course it was later that he betrayed Las Noches and left. It was then of course that everything made the most perfect sense imaginable.

Kuroi, of course, was broken and defeated by this powerful man. Regardless, it did not change what happened afterwards. Pravus in the end still met his death at Kuroi's hands. This was as a result of realization from Kuroi, while of course he was asleep. He learned at that time, and at that point, that he was too weak. And so, before Pravus left, Kuroi understood that he needed to get stronger. He recalled at that time a mission from a while back, having happened a long time ago, and bearing a piece of information that Kuroi only then remembered.

Kuroi remembered the power that he had learned to master, Saigo No Houmen. And at that time, he also remembered the effects of it. One lost their powers if they used it. And yet, he remembered what else could be done. He'd heard of the God of Murder doing these things as well. After Saigo No Houmen was used, a power could be obtained as a human, called "Fullbring." And, once this got to high enough heights, one could even strive beyond it. They could abandon their human life and then die once again. They could then gain even greater heights and powers as the dead again.

Kuroi, even at that time, made a resolute decision. He would become a human, and then later he would become a Hollow again. And then gradually, with passing time, Kuroi would become an Arrancar too. Just as well that he should. Kuroi planned this at that time, and so he decided that it should be done. Once he was an Arrancar, he would have a power far stronger and greater than any power that he had previously held before. There were none that could stand against Kuroi at that time. He knew it.

And so, using his Saigo No Houmen, Kuroi defeated Pravus. He killed this man, and knew that when he returned, it would be stronger than before. He would protect a certain loved one, Li Mei, and he would return to guard Las Noches too. Nothing would stop him from his goal. Or from his destiny. It was for certain that one day, when he was once again powerful, and once again at the top of the world itself, Kuroi would return to Las Noches even greater than ever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A large, bulky figure could be seen at that time. He was silhouetted, but cast a shadow that could seemingly blot out the sun. It was a powerful figure, and a large one too. Deep within the halls of Las Noches, the figure stood. Nine feet tall at minimum, and muscular to absolute disbelief, the tan skinned figure wore a white under armor shirt, and a white coat with long coat tails, splitting at the seams, and cascading down at knee length. It was matched by white leather pants, and black dress shoes. The figure was an Arrancar, no doubt. The hollow mask fragment of this Arrancar could not be seen, but the hollow hole could. It was right there, just in the figure's throat.

As the figure walked towards the general direction of the exit to Las Noches, it became apparent that the room behind him was filled with blood, and littered with beaten, and broken corpses. This huge Arrancar was none other than the one known as the bane of existence in title. His name, of course, was Pravus. Pravus Alibastor. And as Pravus got into a new hallway, he found his passage to be blocked.

It was blocked by a familiar figure, too. The one who stood there in that moment wore a black blazer and matching dress pants. The blazer was two button, unbuttoned. The rough white dress shirt was buttoned up underneath it, and there was a loose fitting black tie, and shiny black dress shoes. This figure had rough black hair, short, whereas Pravus did not have any hair. The figure blocking him had black eyes, and Pravus had completely white eyes.

The Segunda Espada, Kuroi Naito, had come to greet the big man. "Where are you going, Pravus...?" Kuroi murmured. His eyes were focused dead on the big man, and he indeed had noticed the blood bath in the room behind. Pravus did not budge from place. "I am leaving Las Noches." Pravus said.

He didn't even hesitate to add on a challenge. "And no one here is powerful enough to stop me. I have seen all of your deaths in my dreams." Kuroi aimed his right palm directly at Pravus in that moment, not even hesitating about it. "There is a great difference, Pravus, between dreams and reality." Kuroi said at last. And then, in a flash of crimson red, a Cero blew outwards, flashing as it shot at Pravus.

The big man did not move, and simply punched into it. The Cero exploded in an instantly, but a trail of black had been visible at the center as Kuroi launched it. Just as Pravus blocked his Cero, he found Kuroi upon him, Zanpakuto in hand. Kuroi wasn't messing around. Even he knew how powerful his opponent actually was.

His ornate Zanpakuto with the violet flames over the edge of the blade was soaring for the neck. He was aiming to take out his enemy in one fell swoop. One stroke to end it. And yet, Pravus would have none of it. His skin suddenly turned gray in color, like rock, and he brought up his right arm to block Kuroi's blade. His arm became shiny momentarily as he blocked the Zanpakuto.

Kuroi spun in place, landing on the ground, and erupted out with a series of fast, and devastating strokes that Pravus continued blocking by alternating with his right and left arms, which respectively became shiny and silver when they blocked Kuroi's weapon. At last, Kuroi pulled back. He was about to continue, when Pravus spoke. "Do not bother, Segunda. Rather than summon your katanas, release your Zanpakuto. Or you will die here and now." In an instant, Pravus pounded his fists together, and he said some words. "Offer once again the fruit which brings death, Mephisto." For him to have a Zanpakuto named after a devil like that was quite terrifying. And it would terrify even Kuroi a bit, more than likely, because of the effects of it.

Pravus roared, and suddenly his skin solidified to actually appear to be stone, and his muscles expanded outwards, becoming even bigger. He became larger, and even stronger. His eyes glowed a fiery, glowing blue as he cried out in rage. Kuroi's eyes widened when Pravus rushed forwards. His fist was slamming towards Kuroi, who barely dodged it on time. When Pravus's fist impacted the wall, it didn't just shatter.

It exploded inwards on itself, as if every molecule had been hit by the force of a freight train. Not a spec of dust was left when the smoke cleared. Kuroi knew that he had no choice, and one could tell this from the look on his face. "Silence, Hora." he dictated. His own body exploded with reiatsu, covering him with a black, skin tight scale suit which covered his whole body except the head. His hair became black, spiked, and elongated, like a lion's mane in black. His eye whites turned black, his iris golden.

Three hilts of black slid out of Kuroi's wrist slits from his ressurected state, and ignited in solid white blades of reiatsu, which he held then and there. One in each hand, one in the mouth. He was using a three sword style. His skin began steaming red. It was a very, very heavy red. Red steam began emitting from his skin.

Pravus and Kuroi had moved into an empty, gigantic room, not unlike the throne room. It was in there that a huge, transparent dome erupted out. Its borders could be seen only because of the rippling across the surface, like a pebble dropped in water. "Taiyou Ken. Silencio Hazo. Kakucho Cero." Kuroi noted the names of his techniques. And instantly, he blew forwards.

He was fast. His speed had increased massively in that time. Pravus, on the other hand, did not even hesitate to move. He brought his arms up, and blocked Kuroi's strikes. Kuroi's eyes widened. It was noticeable that two things were happening. First, Kuroi's blades had been blocked, and Pravus's arms were glowing pure white and bright, like light.

Second, the rest of his body had turned red, and was steaming. Kuroi's eyes were very, very wide. It was then that Pravus drew his fist back, and it was noteworthy that his speed was incredible. Despite Silencio Hazo, he was faster than Kuroi. Or perhaps Kuroi was faster, but was stunned that Pravus could move at such speed within his speed docking technique. Either way, he received no opportunity to dodge.

Pravus's enormous fist slammed into Kuroi's torso head on. He gasped as blood exploded out of his mouth. There was a sickening crunching sound as he managed to angle himself to the side, so it was a glancing blow. However, though this saved his life, it did not save him the battle. His rib cage and ribs all exploded instantly, and also his organs were pushed inwards, his torso denting heavily momentarily.

It smoothed back out only slightly as he was blown straight through several walls, with Pravus following quickly behind. Kuroi landed in a pile of debris and rubble. His high speed regeneration was already hard at work fixing him, but the damage had been insane for only a glancing blow. Pravus got there two seconds after Kuroi landed.

"WHO SAID THAT I WAS DONE WITH YOU, SEGUNDA?!" he demanded. Kuroi's eyes widened. Instantly, lightning began circulating around his body as white and blue steam joined the red. He coughed out blood. "Kakucho...Deka!" Kuroi exclaimed. He moved fast enough that time to guard against Pravus's punches. However, the punches instantly destabilized Kuroi's Taiyou Ken blades.

This caused them to shatter, exploding with massive bursts. Silencio Hazo exploded as well, and the burns that formed on Kuroi's body were massive from Taiyou Ken. As he flew backwards, through a column, Pravus followed. He was noticeably unharmed as he grabbed Kuroi. Another thing was noticeable. His skin had the blue and white steam too, and was surrounded as well by electricity.

He held Kuroi by the face, and smashed him against the floor, dragging him across it, before throwing him. There was an audible popping noise as Kuroi's left shoulder dislocated, and the bones in that arm snapped. His rib cage cracked again, and his ribs shattered again.

Though his high speed regeneration got to it as fast as possible, it wasn't fast enough for the onslaught of Pravus. Pravus quickly continued forwards, stomping. "Engulf...the world in darkness...Hora Ultimo!" Kuroi gasped. Instantly, wings exploded out of his body as his scale suit vanished, and black pants emerged over his lower half. A silver dome formed overhead, over Pravus and Kuroi both. "Cesar...Del Vida!" Kuroi gasped again.

Pravus simply marched right up to Kuroi. He punched towards Kuroi, and a huge black orb erupted out, exploding with the power of a Cero Oscuras, engulfing Kuroi. "Balanta Cero!" Pravus exclaimed. Kuroi gasped, his Cesar Del Vida shattering instantly as burns consumed him, and he dropped to all fours, gasping. He rolled away only barely as Pravus grabbed towards him.

The stars of black on his chest next to his hollow hole glowed, and a gigantic reiatsu began charging. "Muerte Rey...Cero..." Kuroi hissed out. Pravus punched into it very suddenly. "Balanta Cero: Impact." He murmured. Instantly, Kuroi gasped as his torso dented again, and black steam erupted from his mouth along with blood. He fell backwards, back onto the ground.

Pravus caught Kuroi, hoisted him up, and tore off his wings in a single swift motion. He then proceeded to smash Kuroi over his knee, and then jump and hurl him through the floor. Kuroi smashed downwards, crashing all the way down to the bottom floor. As his Kakucho Deka and Kakucho Cero faded, blood exploded out of his mouth.

When Pravus landed next to Kuroi only moments later, his body had returned to normal, and he'd sealed his release too. Kuroi's sealed on its own, revealing torn up garments, and a beaten up body. He was covered in blood, dents, and bruises, and his body was misshapen and torn at several areas. He coughed up blood again. He'd lost a lot.

"There are many ways in which you can die, if I add just a small portion to your damage." Pravus said. "Or there are many ways in which I could finish you off now. Some are honorable, and some are not." Kuroi didn't speak. "But, I will do that which you are so fond of doing, Segunda. I will let you live. Live on, knowing that I have so ruthlessly crushed you. Knowing that you lost pitifully to me. Despair, Segunda Espada. Despair, but do not die. Suffer for the rest of your miserable time as an Espada. And then, when I have brought Las Noches crashing down, and when Sonken Kouhai and his army of Arrancar are no more, then die. Die along with everything else, when the time comes, after you have despaired more than anyone."

And then, Pravus left. He left Kuroi behind, and Kuroi lost consciousness. He left Las Noches behind, for he had plans to destroy it. What would happen next? This of course was initially up to Kuroi, and that would happen if he did nothing here. No one was stronger than Kuroi. No one was a better match for Pravus than Kuroi was. This had to be it. This had to be the end of the line for Pravus, and everyone knew it. And, soon enough, it would be.

------------------------------------------------------------

Where...am I...? Kuroi was thinking about it. Everything around him was in darkness. He was unconscious, obviously. Everything was black. Everything was in darkness. He felt it. He was underwater, it seemed. He couldn't breathe. And he was feeling even the despair that he himself liked to make others feel. Kuroi could not tell what was going on. He could not tell if he was going to die or not. What exactly was happening? He wasn't certain.

Am I dead? Kuroi could not fathom the idea. He could not possibly be killed. No one should possibly be strong enough to kill Kuroi! It was true, he was definitely far beyond the level of being someone that could be killed by another. That was how it worked of course. But then, in that case, what did Kuroi have to think about? He was forgetting...Then he remembered! He was remembering! He'd been beaten around by Pravus. And this meant bad things for Las Noches as a whole. It was being betrayed by this monster!

He was going to demolish it. No one but Kuroi would get a chance to stop Pravus here. And if it didn't happen now, Li Mei would be in danger. Kuroi's subordinates would be in danger. Chisoku...the speedy demon, would die. And then others would die just as well. There would be Nijuu, the raging bull. There would be Kouen, the calm negotiator. Even Miho and Asuka would perish. Even the other Espada would perish. Kuroi knew deep in his heart that he could not possibly allow that to happen. He had to stop everyone from dying. And he knew how to do that as well.

A secret technique Kuroi had learned a while back came back to mind in that moment. At that time, he knew that he had no choice but to use it. At that time, he was shocked that he would be forced in the name of others to actually use a power which would cause him to therefore lose all others. Essentially, he was going to lose all of his powers as a result of its use. He remembered a certain Shinigami had used this technique against him as well. However, there was more to it.

Kuroi then remembered rumors of this technique being used by the God of Murder, Satsujun. He remembered therefore at that time that Satsujun had supposedly lost his powers. However, reports stated that Satsujun had regained powers and even become the leader of a new organization, Xcution. Yes, Kuroi had heard the rumors of these new powers. He had heard all about the ability known as "Fullbring."

Kuroi knew he had to use it. He had to use the power that destroyed all powers, and then regain himself again. He had to work himself up from scratch, and become even stronger than ever before if he chose to fight Pravus with this strength. And when he returned, Kuroi knew it. The truth was, he'd be the strongest Espada once again. He'd return with a power unlike any other. He'd return stronger than ever before. And thus, Kuroi rose up.

Kuroi's eyes suddenly blew open, glowing a deep black as he rose up from where he lay. It was as if his bones had mended themselves, his organs too. It as as if all injuries had ceased to exist, and as if nothing else in the world mattered at all! Kuroi stood up, reiatsu blasting around his entire body. It was unbelievable. Power was rushing free of him, coursing in waves off of his body. The reiatsu was a black column surrounding him, and nothing seemed able to defy him.

Kuroi's eyes were glowing pitch black. His entire body was covered in black robes made of reiatsu, and his hair was elongated, perfectly straight, and black as well. He had no more blade, nor did he have what looked like his release. Rather, he was in a whole new form unlike any other before it. The sheer blackness looked like the souls of many were woven into it, to create this power of his.

Reiatsu was emerging from Kuroi's hand, almost like a geyser straight out of there. His reiatsu was blasting around continuously with a roar like a lion or a dragon, with a sound like thunder. With a ferocity like death and a destruction like Armageddon, Kuroi was ready to attack Pravus, and to defeat him, and to destroy him. He was ready to annihilate this man who had become a threat to Las Noches. He was ready to end everything in a single instant against Pravus.

"Stop." Kuroi said with a voice confident like a God, with an authority crashing down like thunder. He said it with satisfaction, he said it with pride. He said it like nothing else in the world mattered at that moment beyond Kuroi's power. Silver glinting and sparks could be seen flashing and flickering around his body. So this was what that magnificent power his friend had used felt like. It was glorious. It was a high unlike anything Kuroi had ever before imagined.

Pravus turned around with a shocked look on his face. Eyes wide with surprise like a child unwrapping gifts at Christmas, though rather in horror, in fear, in disdain and dozens of other negative emotions, instead of some kind of sick joy that one might get out of this. Kuroi's power was blazing like fire. His body was hot. His insides were serene. Everything felt right. It was as it should be. Indeed, this was what it felt like. This was what Saigo No Houmen felt like.

"This is...my final power, Pravus." Kuroi clarified. "It is true, you are stronger than I am. I cannot combat you." He took a step forwards, and Pravus actually flinched at the sudden realization that sudden death was looming on him. This was all as Kuroi had planned, though a bit different in that his power was a bit different. He had expected to dominate with his regular, natural powers. He'd had no idea at the beginning that this would turn into a journey such as this.

"Prepare to be smothered, Pravus. Despair in your last moments. This is...Saigo No Houmen." Kuroi lifted up his right hand like a conductor with a baton, and his reiatsu was blazing around it. The silver sparks coalesced into something new. Some sort of baton really was there. It was less than a meter long, and yet it had such menace, such absolute power, that it made Pravus flinch yet again. Pravus began to back away, but Kuroi was suddenly in front of him with a speed unlike any other as well.

"This is the end, Pravus." Kuroi said. He slashed forwards in an instant. "Saigo No Houmen. Kira." In an instant, a wave of silver reiatsu rushed over Pravus, who screamed and roared in indignification as his entire body was wiped away. It started with the flesh, which burned away as he was lost in consumption of the silver tidal wave. He was completely and utterly lost in view, though inside his flesh was being burned away into ashes.

And then next, it was his organs. These too soon disappeared, then followed by his bones too. Just as well, his reiatsu had been annihilated from the beginning by the silver wave, which came with the ability to destroy everything. It came with the same properties as Cesar Del Vida. Essentially, it wiped away reiatsu anywhere nearby it! This was Kuroi's Saigo No Houmen. And this was the end for Pravus.

Kuroi fell back down towards the ground once it was over, and when Pravus was dead. Though his reiatsu was fading away to reveal his body, and his powers were fading, he had enough left in him to use a Garganta. In time he opened it, and in time was deposited in the human world to regain his strength. Many would later wonder what happened to him, but it would soon be evident that he would return one day. It was bound to happen, of course. It was inevitable.

-------------------------------------------------------

Later, Kuroi went through his experiences as a Fullbringer, and as a Hollow once again. He attained a new power even then. He became an Arrancar, but returned even stronger than ever before. Nothing would stand in Kuroi's way, it seemed. At that time, nothing could ever possibly stop him. And therefore, Kuroi learned at that time that everything he had accomplished was far beyond any normal level.

Item Name:

Item Ability: [When dragged across the user's weapon to cause friction, an aura of ghostly, transparent (but still colored) reiatsu will materialize around the user's weapon. This allows the weapon to do battle with other weapons that are also using the coating ring, and also gives it an increased amount of cutting ability for striking defenses and cutting attacks. So long as the user has this ring worn, attacks and defenses will be coated in this aura. The aura is equivalent to 100% of the user's reiatsu strength.]

Item Name: [Storage Ring]

Item Type: [Storage Item]

Item Description: This is a rather cool looking ring. It's silver and black in color, and obviously metallic looking. It's worn on Kuroi's right hand Ring Finger, and it has some kind of small slot to hold a small, flat object. The small flat object held is a small purple gem. This is essentially a Ring that Kuroi wears. The ability of this Ring is rather simple. It stores one item, and that's Kuroi's Tiger Hook Sword. He keeps the blade stored within this Ring, so that he can summon it at any time, but not have to bare the hassle of carrying it around in a sheathe all the time, everywhere he goes. Hook swords are heavy and not very portable.

Item Name: [Summoning Gloves]

Item Type: Storage Item

Item Description: A special type of black silk glove created specifically for Kuroi Naito. Kuroi is the only Espada capable of containing his Zanpakuto within his body as part of his reiatsu. However, Kuroi is unable to summon it himself without costing reiatsu. His only method is to generate it inside of his Cero. Therefore, he developed these gloves, which allow him to harness his own reiatsu, and generate his Zanpakuto in his hand from his merciless black reiatsu.

Item Name: [Cursed Blade: Sakebu No Ame]

Item Type: [Special Weapon]

Item Description: [This is a cursed katana blade that Kuroi recently procured. Entering the Urahara Shop looking for new blades. Lately, Kuroi has been trying to get even stronger, and as a result he has stumbled across the idea of further improving his swordplay. Unfortunately, while he can use multiple blades, he didn't carry too many. In fact, he typically only carried one katana type, this being his Zanpakuto. Therefore, he set out to have people acquire for him a strong blade, and modify it. Urahara took on the job, locating a cursed sword known as Sakebu No Ame. Through a modification process, Urahara imbued it with a powerful source of reiatsu within itself, giving it the ability to slaughter spiritual enemies with the same effectiveness as a Zanpakuto.

It should be noted that it doesn't have any special abilities though. However, the weapon itself has a sinister reiatsu and a finely tuned blade. Any swordsman should be able to tell it's cursed just from the feeling it gives off. Smiths should be able to recognize as well just how well forged it is. This blade's durability exceeds even Kuroi's Zanpakuto's. It is also directly linked to his own core reiatsu, imbuing it with his reiatsu strength. The blade itself has a bloody history. The fourth made blade in a set of five cursed swords, this one has gone through the ages, and it has continued to exist for a while now. Through over twenty different owners, it has showed its curse. All who owned it previously have died of unfortunate and agonizing deaths. No exceptions. It is only natural for Kuroi to be able to master this curse.

This blade is a guardless blade with three violet glowing gems on the hilt, and a black separation between blade and hilt. Furthermore, its blade is glowing with a visible aura whenever it is drawn, and it has a cool white design along the center of the dull edge part. It has the word "Contrivance" on the blade as well in English characters. This blade has a special weight to it. It's uncertain when held if it's heavy or light. While it feels light when held, it seems to gain weight as it slashes. It gains extra, additional momentum. This does two things. First, it causes the blade to strike down with more force, and make the user seem to have more strength. Enemies will be baffled by the aggression of this cursed blade, which it is possible to lose control over during a slash. However, it also generates wind currents around the blade, regardless of strength. These are rather weak, but they're strong enough to push an enemy's blade a couple of inches. The name means Sinful Rain.

Item Name: [Cursed Blade: Ryu No Ketsuatsu Kou]

Item Type: [Special Weapon]

Item Description: [This cursed blade is the second one that Kuroi decided to pick up. Out of all of the blades he obtained thus far, two out of three were cursed. This one goes back many generations as well, and has been continually repaired and refined by Urahara for a while now. This one was a named blade, but the first and only of its kind. It never belonged to any "set." Its master was a great samurai whose name is now lost to history, and only the name of his blade remains. This blade's master was killed not by battle, but by trickery. The samurai was poisoned, and therefore unjustly killed, and the blade stolen without being won.

In a rage, the blade's will caused the killer and new wielder to perish in agony. From that point on, no one could wield this without dying. Its murderous intent, seeking revenge for its fallen master was too great. It longed for a new, true master. Urahara refined it, and imbued it with properties of reiatsu and solidity just like Kuroi's Zanpakuto. For one, it has the same killing power, especially regarding spiritual beings. It also has its own sinister reiatsu, and is linked to Kuroi's reiatsu, meaning it has his reiatsu strength and thus his cutting power. This blade's unique property is that for whatever reason, the edges slide very well against other blade. The friction generated is quite strong and odd. Once against an opposing blade, this one slides really quickly. An inexperienced wielder will lose control easily. One who has adjusted can take this into account. This causes sparks to become visible quite so along the blades, and it dulls the opposing blade in that area. It's quite effective and strong. This blade, despite its ill intentions and tendency as a troubled child is still tough. It should be noted that repeated blows to one spot will cause this blade to break an enemy's blade. The "troubled child" can typically even cut through steel! It weakens what it cuts before it actually sinks in!

Its durability is top notch. The metal blade is black, and curved at the start a bit like a lightning bolt. It has white characters on that part to design it. The name means Dragon's Blood Rain.

Item Name: [Named Blade: Ashirein]

Item Type: [Special Weapon]

Item Description: [This is the third and final new katana that Kuroi bought with this set. It's not a cursed blade, and thus has no real history. Kuroi is its first owner. Its first wielder. This was designed specifically for Kuroi by a smith known to Urahara, made at Kuroi's request, and then given to him through Urahara. This weapon has its own majestic feeling reiatsu, and is synchronized with Kuroi so that it has his reiatsu strength and cutting power. It has the same cutting efficiency and ability as a Zanpakuto because of the way it was made, allowing it to equally strike spiritual beings with that same effectiveness. Noticeably, this is the lightest of Kuroi's new blades.

Also, though it looks ordinary, it was made by some very new and modern technology. The sharpening process is incredible. Some sort of laser creation was used on this one to give it extra sharpening after the original process. Its main purpose is to slice through metal. That's what the blade is actually designed for. As long as the strength of the user is at least average, and the reiatsu strength at least a significant (normal) margin ahead, this can easily slice steel or other metals like butter, and therefore cut an opponent's weapon like fruit.

This is a blade very personal to Kuroi. Its name means Icy Rain.

Item Name: [Summoning Shoes]

Item Type: [Storage item]

Item Description: [Similar to Kuroi's gloves, these black dress shoes, which are rather good in combat as well for whatever reason, are designed to be able to focus in on his reiatsu. Kuroi stores his own blades within himself, and this allows him to tap into his own reiatsu, and with a simple maneuver, bring his blades into existence, any of his three (non Zanpakuto) katanas from the tips of his shoes in a materialization of reiatsu. The color is different for each blade. Ice blue for Ashirein, dark purple for Sakebu No Ame, and venom green for Ryu No Ketsuatsu Kou. Kuroi can otherwise summon these blades manually by shooting a Cero and having them appear within it, but using the shoes is much easier.

Item Name: [Strongest Sword: Izanami]

Item Type: [Sword]

Item Description: [It took years to finally obtain for Kuroi Naito. The most powerful sword ever to exist. It was forged only once, and also sharpened only once. It will never need to be forged again. It will never need to be sharpened again. The sword is indestructible. The sword cannot be dulled. It is the mightiest sword.

Hundreds of thousands of years old, this blade first came into creation after the death of the Goddess, Izanami. Her husband, Izanagi, attempted to bring her back from the underworld. After failing, he used her bones and reiatsu to forge this blade. Her body became the blade. Her skin solidified and became the hilt. Her hair solidified and became the guard. The reiatsu from Izanami, stained by the underworld, turned the blade a bright, eternal red.

That is the legend of this sword. It was left on a secluded, spiritual island near Japan. Kuroi had to journey there through the harshest of days, and arrive at last to search for it. The island was brutal, and he faced weeks of harsh trials as he scouted it. At last, he reached the sacred resting place of the blade. On the way, he found a skull which confirmed what he had already known. The ground on the island, covered eternally by white sand and white rocks, was in fact dissolved and dissolving bones of those who had attempted to gain the blade before him. Regardless, arriving at the sword, Kuroi took hold of it. All at once, its godly aura engulfed him. Though he escaped with Garganta, and made it to the human world, a few seconds of grip on the blade nearly killed him.

Kuroi took it to Urahara, who forged a magical sheathe for him for a huge sum of money. This sheathe masked the blade's existence completely. When Kuroi slung it over his back, it disappeared, and ceased to exist. That is the condition to wielding this blade. Izanami was the Goddess of Creation and Death. To use this blade, one must be depleted of reiatsu, torn apart, on the verge of death, and facing immobility. This blade restores that mobility, and temporarily stops the current death from touching the user. This blade allows that user to fight on.

The blade's ability as a blade is quite simple. It can be used for 6 posts only. It is a near death state last resort, and it only appears in that near death state. Energy flows around the user. There is nothing that the sword cannot cut. The aura of the sword weighs down all enemies as it comes in swinging to attack them. This sword is flawless in this manner. It cuts through anything on the first try. Any wound left by this sword will become quickly susceptible to fast acting infection, and pain that constantly quintuples every minute.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Here's Chisoku again. The other spoiler is broken somehow.}Name: [Chisoku Re-Sa]

Real Age: [244]

Age of Appearance: [23]

Height: [6'0]

Weight: [150 lbs.]

Appearance: [This guy isn't muscular at all like the previous Fraccion members that Kuroi has. This is because he doesn't have much physical strength. That's not his main attribute. At all. His whole entire power is based off of speed. So, that's what Chisoku does. He's pretty tall, but also pretty skinny. His arms don't seem to have much muscle, and neither does his torso. Out of place, his legs are actually significantly tight and muscular. This is because they're his main attribute, and he uses them a lot. That's the type of power that Chisoku uses. There's no one that can ever possibly move nearly as fast as he can.

He wears a black suit identical to Kuroi's. The only difference is the undershirt, which is red. His face is tanned, and his eyes are green. His hair is a lazy, black bowl cut, a bit messy. He usually has one eye closed, and he seems to have his hollow hole located on the chest, just on the right side, which doesn't have the heart. His number, "56", is located on his ankle, so nobody can see it.]

Faceclaim: Lambo TYL



Personality: [This guy is a half assed, and lazy kind of person. He refers to everything in a calm, and sometimes wiser than he appears manner. He's actually really great at partying, and he also enjoys running. That's the only sport he likes. He doesn't like straining himself through physical activity, except if he's just running. In that case, he'll race anyone. Other than that, he doesn't do anything else.

Oh, he's also a ladies man. He likes ladies. The problem is that they think he's gross. He's actually pretty good looking, but it takes a special kind of type to like him. He's just one of those guys that doesn't seem to have any luck with girls and women, and as a result he tries to act as cool as possible in an effort to get them to notice him.]

Powers: [Insert Below]

Sealed Appearance:

His sealed zanpakuto is just a regular katana. There's nothing to it but that.

Release Phrase: "Vanish, Tekinogen'intonarimasuguretosupidopawagaanatanotorakkuoushinau"

This causes the suit itself to actually disappear, becoming replaced instead by a black jumpsuit. The sword disappears completely, and in fact, Chisoku is left with no weapons at all. However, the fact that he's left with no weapons is only the tip of the iceberg. He can't use reiatsu based techniques while in release. That's his drawback for the powers he receives. He's only able to use ONE reiatsu based ability, which is a special technique. He actually gives up three slots for his release techniques so that he can quadruple his speed.

Only technique - Speed Cero

This is probably a very dangerous technique. What's cool about it is that, while it uses 200 reiatsu like a regular cero, it's much faster. Remember Bala? 20 times faster than Cero in both movement and charging? This Cero is five hundred times the speed of a regular cero, in both movement and charging. It's so instant that the moment he points a palm at the enemy, they'll be dead. However, he must take a horse stance, and aim the palm, so it's an easy indication that the technique is firing. He can't just fire it randomly. However, it's VERY fatiguing. He gains an energy in his body called "Mana" during this time.
