Tengoku Shamisen of Ashikaga Shinku

[jetxtreme]

Owner: Ashigaka Shinku of Squad 6


Tengoku no Shamisen (Heavenly Shamisen) in its sealed state is a  common katana with a very thin blade almost resembling that of a rapier. Its hilt is round and is crimson red in color with the kanjis Oto (Sound) embedded in its left and Gei (Art) embedded in its right. It’s handle is white in color with shamisen strings coiled near the hilt and three bells tied in its base.

- Shikai: Shikai is triggered by the release command “Blow your enemies out of your way, Make them regret they ever heard you play” (Anata no hōhō no anata no teki o fukitobasu, Karera wa kōkai suru yō ni, karera wa kore made anata ga ensō o kii)

Description
His sword turns into a Shamisen with white dō (shamisen body),  sao (shamisen neck) and koma (shamisen bridge) and crimson red strings. Three golden bells are attached to the end of the dō adding extra tunes as the shamisen is being played. Contrary to his enormous physical strength, his zanpakuto is more inclined to powerful spirit attacks.

Abilities

1st Melody: Kiyari Kuzushi (Kiyari Break)
Shinku plays a moderate tempo tune which boosts the flow of his reiatsu making him able to deal more damage through spirit attacks

2nd Melody: Kaze no kyōfū (Gales of Wind)
Shinku plays a rather playful tune summoning the spirit of Fujin. The summoned spirit then unleashes a violent wind traveling with the speed of almost 300 miles per hour, blowing everything in its path.

3rd Melody: Arashi (Tempest)
Shinku plays a dance tune summoning the spirit of Raijin. The summoned spirit then unleashes bolts of lightning to his enemy

Though known by description, none still has ever witness the real intensity of the abilities.

(Bankai not yet unlocked but i would like to note it here for comments from mods)
- Bankai: Kamigami no Shamisen (Shamisen of gods) is distinguished by golden dusts spectacled all throughout the shamisen’s dō and sao. The strings then turns silver making shamisen very noticeably shiny when casted by a light. There is no noticeable change in the bankai’s size but once played produces a more vibrant  tone than what the shikai state can produce and thus significantly increasing the power of all the melodies Shinku play by it.

Abilities

4th Melody: Iwaki (Rocky Castle)
Shinku plays a rather profound melody creating a rocky fortress imprisoning both Shinku and everyone within 1 mile radius around him. All opponents he has inside the fortress has both their physical and spiritual strength significantly decreased to half their original.

5th Melody: Yuki (Snow)
Shinku plays a serene melody affecting the weather making it unleash a fierce snow storm covering a 1 mile radius freezing everything within.

6th Melody: Shin Bushi (True Samurai)
Shinku plays a rather noble tone making his shamisen transform into dual swords both similar to his zanpakuto's sheathed form but with spectacles of gold. At his state, Shinku is able to move faster and react faster than usual.

The one mile radius thing is too much. I'd also like to comment an auto-decrease to half their strength is hax as well.

I like what you did here Jet, very much so. I will not approve the bankai section of it just yet though. Consider that part on hold... But as for the Shikai portion of it... It's been quite awhile... Let's see if I still got it....

-Clears throat-

€!~!Approved!~!€

[jetxtreme]

[Setoku]

Eh, it's what I do! Approved Horse! Away!!!!!

-A Horse with "Approved" spray painted across it's wonderful black coat appears, and tramples over Setoku-

Noooo! Approved horse....WHY?!

-The Horse rears up, and drops it's hooves into Setoku's chest, before neighing and running off. Setoku pushes himself up, and slowly begins to limp away-
