Byakuya is a adept of achromatize swords, able of absolute attention and acutely baleful attacks after accepting to use abundant effort. He is actual acclaimed for his adeptness of Flash steps.

He was accomplished this accomplishment by the "Goddess of Flash steps" Yoruichi Shihoin, and his abilities are about on par with hers, just hardly beneath her. Among the shinigamis of the Soul Society however, he is the master. His achromatize brand Senbonzakura is aswell alleged Thousand Blooming Blossoms and is a actual able katana, with a basal cantankerous bouncer with an accessible frame, abundant like a four-pane window.

In its Shikai form, Senbonzakura's brand separates into a thousand blades, axis into actual tiny brand bits that will fly abroad aural the hilt, abrogation just the handle to hold. The fragmenting of the brand blades can be negated just afore it bursts, as apparent if if Yoruichi Shihoin wraps the brand in bolt during the advance of Byakuya's abrupt action with Ichigo. Nevertheless, if the brand burning completes, again Senbonzakura will be about unstoppable. If dispersing the blades reflect the ablaze in such a way that they assume to arise as blooming bloom annual petals, about they are not bendable and sweet, but absolutely deadly.

When he swings Senbonzakura's hilt, Byakuya can ascendancy the brand locations at will, acceptance him to atom his enemies at a ambit and breakdown around any anatomy of defense. Its Bankai "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" anatomy is basically a appreciably greater adaptation of Senbonzakura's Shikai. In adjustment to actuate the aeon of attack, Kuchiki Byakuya drops his brand beeline down. The brand sinks down into the earth, as calmly as dipping one's duke into a basin of water. Power ripples aggrandize out from the blade, axis the surrounding anon surrounding breadth to dark, and central of seconds, two rows of the thousand abundant blades shoot out from the soil. Thousands of abandoned swords fly and bore the opponents. Enemies are usually blind of what is about to him them, and even if they are they cannot clue the movements of the abandoned blades or contrivance them.

The abundance of blades is added than acceptable so for Byakuya to use them for aegis as able-bodied as breach at the exact aforementioned time. He about gathers them into ample masses, acclimated to bore enemies about instantaneously. Since Senbonzakura moves through the air like the torrents of a flat wave, it can be likened to blooming blossoms abounding forth application the wind. Kuchiki's can avert himself by accoutrement himself with these analgesic tiny blades, and anatomy a absorber system.

In adverse to his Shikai, the Bankai is abandoned mentally manipulated. Although Byakuya can ascendancy the blades of his achromatize brand with his thoughts alone, application his easily permits him to achieve ascendancy even added efficiently, appropriately bearing ante of acceleration and ascendancy that are three times greater than with just his apperception alone. As with his Shikai, the advance is mainly triggered application the chat Scatter.
