• Nōkōejji (Concentrated Edge)
  

  
  This technique is initiated by forming the user's reiryoku across the blade. By controlling the fluctuation of their own reiryoku through their blade, the user may then release the energy in an arc of pure reiatsu, as thick as their blade and as wide as the arc of their swing. The concentrated wave of reiatsu still cuts that that it hits, and with a strong enough user, may even cut through materials such as metal and even Hierro.

  
  Requirements: Reiryoku 100, Zanjutsu Level One
  
  
• Hōzuri (Cheek Stroke)
  

  
  A simple but precise slash technique that is meant only to lightly graze and cause superficial wounds. By utilizing Shunpo with a quick slash, a large shallow wound may be placed upon the target.

  
  Requirements: Agility 70, Zanjutsu Level One
  
  
• Suikawari (Watermelon Splitting)
  

  
  A technique involving a two-handed, overhead slash that aims to cleanly and precisely cleave an opponent's head in twain. There is a momentary 20 increase in Power upon impact.

  
  Requirements: Power 160, Zanjutsu Level One
  
  
  
• Senmaioroshi (Thousand-Page Wholesale)
  

  
  A technique where multiple blade movements take place so fast that they can literally shred a target into pieces. A quick succession of thirty swallow cuts are done to the target at Shunpo speed, giving the target little time to react.

  
  Requirements: Agility 150, Zanjutsu Level Two
  
  
  
• Niseban (False Release)
  

  
  By concentrating their excess reiryoku into their own zanpaktou, the user can increase the size of their blade drastically by overiding the limits normally kept on one's reiatsu. The bladeis covered in a shroud of the user's reiatsu and made to appear larger than it is. The shroud increases the size and power of the blade, allowing the user to perform feats that may normally be associated with Shikai.

  
  Requirements: Reiryoku 250, Zanjutsu Level Two, Zanpaktou wielders only
  
  
• Hitotsume: Nadegiri (The First: Killing Stroke)
  

  
  This basic technique allows for a precision cut of extreme force and speed, it can casually slice through large, multi-story high opponents protected by steel skin. The opponent can be killed with one swift slash that is so precise, that they aren't even aware of it until after it has taken place. Upon swinging the sword down, the technique will lower the breaking point of spiritual armor by 30.

  
  Requirements: 450 Power, Zanjutsu Level Three
