[Beast]

One moment, Beast was standing in a crowded street looking for his next spiritual meal. Next, he was standing in a dirt road with some run down shacks and a big glass dome over top of him. What had happened to him? Whatever it was, he was feeling good. Strong. Stronger than he'd ever been before. Bellowing out a challenge to whoever had brought him here, he twitched with power unbridled and readied himself for whoever was in this dome with him. There had to be someone, right? Testing his new found strength on one of the buildings next to him, he found that punching it caused the entire structure to collapse in a heap. Yes. This was the kind of power he needed. This was the kind of power he craved. Now to find someone to unleash it on...

{Technique Added}

Technique Name: Shunkō

Class: 1

Technique Type: Other

Usable By: Shinigami

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects:

The legendary technique passed down for the last three generations in the Omnitsukidō, Shunko, is a combat ability which combines the swiftness of Hakuda with the might of Kidō. It was originally created by a previous Shihōin Head.

Upon activation, Shunkō manifests as crackling white energy around the user. The ferocity and loud sound give it the appearance of lightning. Its shape forms from the dead center of the user's back, causing any garments that cover the back to be destroyed in that area. Most shoulder covering is also destroyed during activation.

While Shunkō is active, the user's physical Strength and both Spiritual Stats merge to form their offensive power, and stamina drain is suspended. All physical blows from the body result in a crackling blast of energy equal to this offensive power of Strength + Reiatsu Strength + Spiritual Pressure. Anyone with inferior offensive power will find their body ravaged by the attacks.

How to use technique:

Flux Reiatsu and activate this technique, but only after deactivating Release. This lasts for 10 posts and can be used twice in a thread. This technique puts a huge strain on the body and requires an extraordinary physical ability to use. Speed must be at least 700 at the time of activating Shunkō, and the user must possess at least a 4 in one combat method as well as a 3 in Hakuda OR Hohō. Shunkō cannot be learned by Weapon Masters, Kenpachi, Physical Prodigy, Genius, Soul Specialist, or Fighter.

Must be Rank 4 or Omnitsukidō to learn.

Technique Drawbacks:

Though this technique is powerful, its Reiatsu cost is enormous and the stamina drain is merely suspended, not removed. All stamina drain that happens during Shunkō will be taken once the technique ends. The user of this technique cannot be released when activating it, and Release cannot be active during Shunkō.

Made By: Shihōin Family, Omnitsukidō

Reserved? (Yes/No): Rank 4 Captains, Omnitsukidō of any Rank

Yuna smirked as she watched the pitiful creature smash various structures to please its ego. The petite Shinigami was standing silently nearby - precisely 50 metres in front of him but the violent Neanderthal could never notice her hiding in plain sight. Taking the moment to ensure she was out of sight behind a light pole, she sighed and knew that she was in for a tough fight - this guy could not be more her opposite. She drew her Wakizashi from her back knowing that diplomacy was going to be fruitless against such an opponent.  Dropping to a battle-ready stance, she remained calm and knew she could only try her best. "I've never seen someone like this before... why is his Spiritual Pressure so... cold, grim... as if the real him is locked away inside somewhere. It's unlike anything I've ever sensed but yet so familiar too...Let's see what he does first." 

[Beast]

Beast's opponent, if he had one, hadn't shown themself yet. Beast continued to break stuff with his impressive strength, shards of building and ground flying all around. If Yuna wasn't careful, Beast in his random rampaging could potentially hit her on accident as he broke everything around him. This power was intoxicating, delicious, and just what Beast needed right now. He'd been on a losing streak of humiliating defeats and needed to feel powerful again. Soon, all of the buildings and structures would be flattened so that there was nothing really standing in the 100 meters surrounding Beast's position. Not only had he punched things that were in direct range, but he had also tested his newfound strength on generating shockwaves that broke more stuff beyond what his fists could reach.

Beast wasn't being careful, wasn't being overly cautious, wasn't holding back at all. Anything he saw, he crushed either with his fists or with a longer range shockwave. Yuna was stealthy, that's for sure, but if there's nothing to hide behind then there's not much that can be done. She could probably try and stay behind him with her superior speed, but sooner or later she'd either tire of dashing around, try and get close to him and be caught, or maybe she'd land a hit and reveal herself that way. No matter what happened, Beast was having fun lashing out at everything in his line of sight. He felt a bit winded after sending out so many shockwaves, so he stopped for a moment and took in the devastated surroundings. If Yuna had still found something to hide behind, then she'd waste the opportunity of a winded Wraith.

[Yuna Xiao]

"He truly won't stop until every last thing in sight is reduced to rubble. How unfortunate, there may have been a chance for him to redeem himself. As the river flows~" A bead of sweat rolled down her cheek as she kept her cool and waited for a good opening. Yuna made sure to try and keep a fairly close distance the entire time, darting between bushes, rubble, anything - using the noise to mask her movement and dust and rubble to mask her body. She mentally casts Rikujokoro on Beast to attempt to restrain his arms to his torso and then uses Senka to blink towards him, blade ready at his neck  as she stands upon his shoulders "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six - Bakudō 61: Rikujokoro. Let's end this swiftly, tortured spirit, for I do not see a purpose in us fighting... You don't have to suffer any longer, I will allow you to rest eternal. Forfeit this skirmish and it will all end in an instant."  Yuna remains steadfast in her commitment to end his life as swiftly and cleanly as possible. She keeps her guard up as she recognises that this creature is not likely to surrender but she must give every opponent and opportunity for mercy.

[Beast]

Suddenly, a familiar spell started to come at Beast. He knew the incoming beams of light and even though he couldn't see all six of them, he immediately recognized it as Rikujokoro. As the bakudo started coming at him, Beast just flexed his muscles. He flexed everything he could, tightening his body into an iron fortress. With the level of strength that he had, the Bakudo wouldn't stand a chance. Yuna had impressive Reiatsu strength, but it wouldn't hold Beast for long. It would barely slow him down as he took stock of where the spell had come from. He didn't have to wait long as she flash stepped towards him with a mastered Senka. Still flexing, her blade would have trouble even piercing his flesh. Even if it did cut into him, he was a walking tank. He could survive being hit by a car, being crushed by a building, and set on fire only to continue walking through it all. That's how strong this monster was in physical power.

Yuna standing on Beast's shoulders was probably a bad idea for her. With her blade pressed against his neck, he uttered a single phrase that was about to make her day a whole lot worse. "I'll take what I want, Onbeskofte Siel!" He could feel the power coursing through his body and his twin Zanpakutou. This time, Bankai was going to go smoothly and would be completely harmonized. The short sword dissolved completely while the saber burst into flames. The flames travelled up his arm and covered the whole left half of his body in bronze plate metal. The right side of him was replaced with extremely thick shiny ivory that took the form of a boxing glove on his arm as well as the plate armor over the rest of his body.

The biggest change, however, would be right in front of Yuna. Beast's long hair would suddenly sprout whips two hundred feet in length that were covered in flaming bone. If she wasn't fast enough to realize that Beast was releasing Bankai, she'd meet a face full of flaming spikes that would pierce through her entire body in an instant. With only average to low Energy Sensory, she may have trouble realizing that "I'll take what I want" is his Bankai release phrase. If she did manage to get away, she'd immediately notice that Beast was growing at an extremely rapid rate. His hair whips were growing five feet at a time, while his body had become six inches taller with his arms extending to stay proportional.

Not actually having seen Yuna yet, all Beast could take from the exchange was her voice and her weight on his shoulders. "Tortured Sprit? You make me laugh. Rest eternal? Good luck with that. I will devour you and move on, not even caring about your name..."

Remaining Reiatsu: 1,800/2,000 (-200 Bankai)
Bankai Duration: 1/12

[Yuna Xiao]

From pressing her blade unto his flesh she realised quickly that she was going to have to try harder than that to cut through him, something she was admittedly not used to as she's ordinarily able to cut through even the thickest of wood, sometimes even iron. She kept her guard up throughout the time she stood on his shoulders and although she could not feel exactly what his Release was - she could easily tell that there was a massive surge in reiatsu and, upon noticing that his hair was becoming massive weapons and flames were spewing out toward her, she had no choice but to get out of there as quickly as possible. She uses Shukuchi-Ho to evade his flames and hair growing exponentially and presumably flailing and getting to the ground, she took mere miliseconds after using the first technique to then use Shunpō to try and escape his reach as much as possible, not sure how far to go but as far as she can with one Shunpō all the while straining herself to react and move as fast as she could go.


Lightly panting and sweating she takes a moment to reassess her opponent. This man was fearless and incredibly strong, but he reacted in an instant, did he detect her earlier? Could he have seen through her Senka? Yuna would surely have trouble if he's as fast as he is strong. She remained determined to defeat him. "That sounded like a Release... But why does your reiatsu sense like it's Hollow and Shinigami? You may think you are strong but it's impossible for you to keep up with me." She says sternly, knowing her taunts aren't going to get to him but doing it anyway. "No matter, I just have to stall him until he tires himself out - brutes him surely won't last very long. I was never the gambling type, but let's see who can outlast who... If he lands a hit on me, I could be done for in one blow."

So she managed to get away from his burst of bone whips. No problem. He'd catch up with her in time. Like a certain spiderman villain, he separated his whips into four strands that he braided together with a mental command. Also like same villain, he raised himself up off the ground by planting the whips into the ground and pulling himself up by his head. Having never done this before, he looked a little wobbly at first, but soon got the right amount of pull and push to steadily raise himself in the air and start moving around with the whips movement instead of his own body. The flames of his whips scorched the ground as he moved, charging towards Yuna at 800 speed. Much slower than she was capable of moving, but Beast would be capable of keeping up this speed for much longer than Yuna could.

Moving at even above 400 speed would be stamina draining and would wear down on the body. Moving at above 800, faster than Beast could move, would take a lot out of Yuna quickly even if she wasn't the kind of person to wear down faster than most. Beast not using his own body to move, instead using his mental fortitude to propel himself with his Bankai would be able to keep up higher speeds for a lot longer than the other Shinigami. The Wraith would charge at her and if he got close enough, he'd aim a powerful kick towards her. Not anything special, but with his kick would come a deceptive shock wave that could travel farther forwards and hit her if she didn't dodge correctly to one side or the other.

Remaining Reiatsu: 1,800/2,000
Bankai Duration: 2/12

[Yuna Xiao]

"Tch. Fast and strong with medium-range attacks. I won't be able to outlast him at this pace so I guess I'll just have to grab the bull by the horns." She muttered. He wasn't going to ease off for even one second until she was ground into mulch but Yuna wasn't about to let Beast snap her like a twig, her newfound power was too great to allow some schmuck to steamroll her like this, even if it was clear that her opponent was feeling the same mysterious surge of strength.
She stood stalwart and focused her reiatsu into her feet through a wave-like motion that flows through her body and with a sharp inhale she begins emitting reiatsu sharply through her body like a drag race supercar of energy, she sheathes her wakizashi and enters a strong offensive Hakuda-style stance, flares of flame and lightening charging from her body all around her as she then explosively charges forward at 800 speed comfortably thanks to her now passive 200% movement speed, easily able to keep up with Beast without exerting herself more than necessary. Using her acrobatics she would flip into the air and then using Advanced Air Ground to thrust herself toward Beast, slamming into him with a fierce raiōken barrage, flames and electricity bursting out with every incredibly fast punch which are now increased by 200 (total: 450) thanks them adding 50% potency based on her Speed stat, wailing a determined battle-cry as she does - "HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
