Chapter 20 - Author note

Zanpakto of ayame is ="

Shikai Release Command:

"Zanka, Kurogane Inazuma!"

("Ignite, Black Steel Lightning!")

Shikai Appearance:

The blades dissolve into pure electrical energy, taking the form of twin gun-like constructs formed from crackling black lightning. They float slightly in her hands and emit low thunderous hums.

Shikai Abilities:

Raijin Barrage:

Fires high-velocity lightning bullets that can ricochet off surfaces and lock onto spiritual pressure, making her a deadly ranged fighter.

Inazuma Stride:

Grants ayame lightning-speed movement (like mini-Shunpo bursts), leaving afterimages of static where she stood.

Overload Crush:

She can overload one or both "guns," unleashing a point-blank burst of thunder energy that can shatter barriers or overwhelm Hierro.

Bankai Abilities (Diversified):

1. Storm Circuit (戦嵐回路 – Senran Kairo):

Creates an electrified zone around ayame where everything—air, ground, even reishi—is charged. Within this zone, ayame can "teleport" in arcs of lightning between any two charged points. Enemies caught in the field suffer gradual sensory overload, slowing their perception.

Purpose: Tactical battlefield control, mid-fight repositioning.

2. Split Tempest (分嵐銃舞 – Bunran Jūbu):

The shoulder constructs split into 6 smaller drone-like cannons that orbit ayame She can command them to fire in bursts, lay suppressive fire, or encircle an enemy in a focused "kill box."

Purpose: Diversified offense and area denial, mimics her dual-wielding rapid-fire style.

3. Thunder Reversal (逆雷 – Gyakurai):

Stores incoming energy attacks or spiritual pressure and reflects them as raw lightning blasts, amplified with kinetic energy. The more chaos surrounds her, the more power she can redirect.

Purpose: Defense that becomes offense—perfect for ayame reactive, counter-killing instincts.

4. Deadshot Heaven (天弾狙撃 – Tendan Sogeki):

Ayame marks" a target with her reiatsu, and every shot from her weapons—even ricochets or drone blasts—adjusts in mid-air to track the marked foe. If a target stays marked long enough, the cannons enter "Execution Mode," firing a thunder beam that ignores defenses.

Purpose: Precision kill, reflects ayame's sharpshooter skill under pressure.

5. Final Technique – Ragnarok Waltz (終撃舞雷 – Shūgeki Bura):

Ayame spins midair as all her constructs fire in synch, her body channeling storm currents into a spiraling beam of annihilation. She uses Inazuma Stride within it, appearing within the chaos to land close-range shots or slashes mid-blast.

Purpose: A final storm dance—chaotic, beautiful, and devastating.
