Technique Name: Soulbind: Shūkaku-ki (Season of Harvest)
Class: 4
Technique Type: Shinigami Technique
Technique Element: Destruction
Technique Description and Effects:
Shūkaku-ki is the form of Taihō’s Soulbind. Once activated, it causes the Harvest Virus of her Zanpakuto to emanate from her body as a thick, organic growth, pitch black in color, which disintegrates and replaces her trench coat, wrapping around her body almost like a protective shell. The growth originates from a mysterious metal plate that appears between her shoulder blades, and takes the form of a pair of massive wings, with a wingspan of almost ten feet, which when closed completely encircle her body in an armored cocoon of sorts, leaving just a small opening around her head. These wings terminate in a set of four large, scythe-like blades, arranged in a roughly hand like pattern. The blades are each three feet long, can be used as fingers, and have a cutting power and durability equal to Taihō’s Dominant Stat, making them utterly lethal weapons to use in a fight. Defensively, the wings are very powerful as well, as any form of damage inflicted on them will cause parts of the wing to shed off as a dust that hangs in the air for two posts. The wings have a re-generative property, and can completely regrow themselves if necessary, though it would take five posts to do so. Of course, the most lethal aspect of Shūkaku-ki is that the wings are made of the Harvest Virus; anything they touch that could infected in Shikai will be infected by Shūkaku-ki, with the same horrifying results. The same goes for the dust that comes off the wings when they take damage. Finally, these wings allow Taihō to fly, even in areas without Air Ground, at her regular Speed. This is more tiresome than normal walking, however.
How to use technique: To use this technique, the user quickly communes with their Zanpaktou Spirit, asking their permission to use it. If permission is granted, the user absorbs their Zanpaktou into their body, causing it to burn with a bright blue flame as it disintegrates away, the spiritual ash merging with their material form.
Drawback: No Zanpaktou techniques can be used during Soulbind; only the overall ability is enabled. Also, no other stage of Release can be used for the Zanpaktou that Soulbind is active with. This also causes spiritual damage to both the user and the Zanpaktou; the user is literally consuming their own soul and making it perfectly align with their material bodies as well, which tears at and weakens the spirit. Excessive use of more than twice in a thread without extended rest will leave a Shinigami comatose or kill him.
Additionally, Taihō’s Soul Release carries a very dangerous drawback; as with her normal release, if any part of Shūkaku-ki should touch her body, she will become infected with the virus. This sit he purpose of the metal plate that forms between her shoulders, to serve as a barrier between herself and her own power. This plate it immune to the Virus, and shields Taihō form it; the rest of her body is vulnerable. As with her release, ending Shūkaku-ki will neutralize the Virus.
