You do know that the Lichs can be utterly annihilated by anyone who knows how? Find the phylactery and they're gone. Hit them with a holy banishing spell and they're gone or weakened to the point of uselessness. Use an anti-magic technique and surround them in it and they're gone, because their connection to the phylactery is severed, so they no longer have anything keeping them intact.

(No its not exactly cannon though I will take ideas from the game)

Benitaro gave me an idea. In the Kingdom Hearts game, the heartless were after the heart of the worlds. If they were to get it, the world would fall into darkness. If enough worlds fall into darkness, then the heartless could get to The Heart of All worlds. It is here that all the worlds are connected. If the heartless get that well...

Anyway, once the RP starts then several weaker heartless will go into the clan worlds. They will find the heart of the world then a boss level heartless will come and attack those that are defending the Heart. If they fail then the world falls into darkness. If they succeed then the Heartless are forced to leave.

The Lich will still be apart of this war, though, attacking and stealing the heart of those I deam as a threat. In other words those who may be strong enough to easily dispose of the heartless.

If I may make a few more suggestions to your plan, Midnight. o-o

Firstly, when a person dies a heartless version of them is made for whoever defeated them to control, and their normal self vanishes. Their normal selves will reappear later as nobodies, which will not interfere with their characters or their clan alliances in any way except they now lack a heart, and we get to keep the heartless profiles for later use.

Secondly the worlds that fall into darkness will become a domain of heartless as they slowly deteriorate. What this means is that the state of the clan world that is subject to this will slowly fall apart over a large course of time and more and more heartless will naturally appear there. This will continue onwards, causing chaos to the world, until the heart is returned. We will probably let challenges be held later on to return the heart, although depending on how this goes we may just have all of them returned later on.

Finally, like Xehanort's heartless, our characters will be able to plant the seeds of darkness and search for vessels even when they die. Meaning that killing our main characters would temporarily make us incorporal and unable to be seen by those without darkness, however we would still be able to tempt those with darkness in their hearts to turn their hearts to darkness and steal their bodies as our own vessels, whether it be NCP or another member in an rp within the clan worlds.

Finally, don't use the undead against Frost. o-o That doesn't bode well.

And Magic is right. I've spent the better part of my life reading various fantasy books. Books from which I've learned how to slay a Gorgon, a dragon's weak points, the effectiveness of cold iron against all things magical, and combat techniques against powerful undead, among other things.

Characters name?


Raisurinu Tourizan. o_o I'll go look for that long character profile of mine. >.>

Found it. O_o;

Profile:
Name: Raisurinu Tourizan
Age: 21
Rank: None

Appearance: Raisurinu is around six feet tall and has grey eyes. He has tan skin and a look of oriental descent. Raisurinu also has long white hair and wears something that looks like the shinigami uniform. Raisurinu's gaze always seems stern and serious. Raisurinu also has a medium build, however despite the appearance of this build Raisurinu has much greater strength due to the strenuous amount of training needed to wield two blades.

Bio: Not much is known about Raisurinu within the Soul Society, only notable thing is that he was once part of the Soul Society and left mysteriously, now he has trespassed into the Soul Society discarding the title of Shinigami.

History: Raisurinu belonged to Soul Society long ago when the person known as Ichigo Kurosaki had never known of the Shinigami, the Hollow, or anything associated to Soul Society. Raisurinu was a nameless gate keeper; however Soul Society were not so pure as people believe. Raisurinu watched the actions of the court and disliked many things that they did. Raisurinu was one who believed in the concept of only the strongest will survive. Raisurinu had gained the respect of the Court and soon he began to rise in position in an extremely fast pace. Soon, he was already able to call upon the bankai abilities of his Zanpakutou. After this, Raisurinu’s character changed. He began his assault upon Soul Society by trying to kill the captains of all thirteen divisions. He was going to change the way the world behaved through his own hands, the world as it is now was boring in the eyes of Raisurinu, he was going to move the gears of the world by doing the most simplest thing, the utter destruction of Soul Society. Raisurinu failed. He fled as quickly as possible, the captains decided to ignore him, since he was able to escape due to his experience of being a gatekeeper. Soul Society decided to ignore him after awhile, thus none of the generation of Ichigo Kurosaki never knew of him. Raisurinu bided his time, training himself to be capable of destroying Soul Society by himself. Raisurinu choose this time to attack Soul Society, he again failed. But he had discovered something; the Vizards are now controlling Soul Society. Raisurinu craves this power, and he will once more attack Soul Society. If he gains that power, Raisurinu will have something to say to all of Soul Society after their defeat… “The world is no longer in your hands, humanity shall be tested. Those who are weak will die, those who are strong will live. Humanity shall be tested to see if it is fit to hold it’s current position in the world. Soul Society no longer has the ability to defend them. The time of judgment has come.”

Zanpakutou: Zrion and Zarion (Duel Wielding Zanpakutou)
Secondary Weapons: None

Zrion and Zarion

Sealed State: Both swords are respectively sealed in two different sheaths, even though they are both part of the same Zanpakutou, however due to the amount of spiritual power both swords contain a single sheath will not easily withstand the amount of energy contained within both swords, thus in a way it is much like Zangetsu.

Shikai State: Once released from their sheaths both blades release an enormous amount of spiritual energy around the user, this energy inflicts only minor injuries to those who are caught in the radius of this shockwave, however the released spiritual energy does not deduct the amount of energy within the two swords. Zrion is a 5 foot long bastard hand wielded by Raisurinu's right hand. Zrion's blade has no other distinguishing features other than it's black colored blade and some markings engraved within the blade. Zarion is a 4 and a half foot katana held in Raisurinu's other hand. As the same as Zrion there are no other distinguishing features other than it's black blade and it's markings. There are no command spells for this Zanpakutou set. However, the only notable skill in this Zanpakutou set is that when the user engages in a flurry of attacks, these swords create much distortion through the air causing the wind, that it creates, to inflict damage to the user's opponent if the attack and the wind distortion are not avoided.

Bankai State: In their bankai state, both blades' length are increased and more markings appear. These markings periodically emit a dark aura. Zrion has now become a 6 foot long bastard sword and Zarion has become a 5 and a half long katana blade. Nothing else seems to have changed other than the length and the markings. Separately these two blades harbor different abilities. Zrion allows the user to gain god like speed, however this speed does not match that of the Zangetsu, but it is nearly to par with it. Zarion now has the sole ability to control the wind distortions as mentioned in the shikai form, however this ability is increased and gains the speed of Zrion, also these wind distortions now have the ability to inflict major wounds upon it's target if not completely dodged. This ability is also passed on to Zrion. However, in their final Bankai state the dark aura emanating from both blades will converge upon their user with the command, "Ikusa Kami". This aura fills its user with the urge to destroy all and an unquenchable blood lust. However, the change in attitude is not the only thing that happens, once the aura converges upon the user, the user will begin to emanate the same aura the markings had, also the users natural strength and speed are increased, as well as the user's reaction time. Also, a change in appearance will begin, the user will look more and more demonic, and the user's attire is completely changed, the user will resemble a great deal like Zangetsu due to it's rivalry in speed. In this state the user will not notice any wounds dealt to them, fatal or not. This ability fades when either the user is decapitated or all of the user's opponents are dead. Also, during this state, the user gains much immunity against many arts, this includes ninja arts and demon arts as well as magic but damage will still be done. Also, all wounds that the user will receive during this state will become less damaging to the user once he reverts back to his original state normally, or forcibly, this excludes the decapitation part. The user is allowed to forcibly remove this state by cutting oneself and drinking their own blood. During this stat the user still have their mind and are not driven into frenzy like berserkers although this state may resemble one, the user will not become a berserker unless the user is already one. In addition, in this form there is a command spell which will activate another ability during this state, this command spell is, "Mugendai Touken". Upon recitation of "Mugendai Touken" A infinite amount of blades will emerge and appear behind the user, each and every blade representing Zrion and Zarion, these blades increase the abilities of the user in this state ten folds, however this ability will harm the user to great effect after it is worn off. These blades also emit the same aura Zrion and Zarion did during their bankai form, this aura will constantly flow from the blades and converge upon the user, the source of his increased abilities. These blades can also be controlled by the users mind, however depending on the mental abilities of the user, the user will not be able to control all of the blades since no person has infinite mental abilities. Raisurinu personally is able to control ten blades using his mind and still wields his own two. In this form after the user has either naturally or forcibly remove their state they will receive a stamina penalty including the penalty that they received in the other state, also the user will receive tremendous pain not received from their battle wounds but from their reiatsu and the dark aura emitted from the infinite amount of blades. To forcibly remove this state one must drink the blood of their opponent and the users own blood.

Abilities:

"Kamikaze/Wind Distortions": "Kamikaze" is the passive abilities of this Zanpakutou and as the name may suggest otherwise does not have an element associated to them. "Kamikaze" is literally translated as divine wind and not the term for a suicide attack. "Kamikaze" is basically an attack created using air pressure. Also, on a side note, "Kamikaze" is capable of attacking using an element stacked upon it's normal air pressure attack. For example, if the user was to attack through fire, a "fire distortion" would occur which is stacked along with the "Kamikaze", if the user attacks through air, "wind distortions" would occur, etc. Of course, if the attack is a "fire distortion" it will be a bit slower then the "wind distortion". An "earth distortion" would be considerably slower and would reach only a short distance. "Earth distortions" are made when the user uses "Kamikaze" towards the ground sending the earth towards the direction of the attack. "Water distortions" are the same but slightly faster. (The speeds of the elemental "Kamikaze" are as followed: Wind > Fire > Water > Earth). Other elements such as Lightning match the speed of Fire and Ice matches the speed of Earth. Non solid elements that were not listed match the speed of Fire and solid elements that were not listed match the speed of Earth. Liquid elements follow the speed of Water.

Commands:

"Ikusa Kami": As explained above it enables the berserk like state of the user.
"Mugendai Touken" (Only if the user is in the "Ikusa Kami" state): As explained above is the command to increase the user's abilities in the "Ikusa Kami" state and brings out an infinite amount of blades behind the user, the blades only appear behind the user in a set area, otherwise the area in which the user uses "Mugendai Touken" would be engulfed in blades.

The following commands can only be used in the "Mugendai Touken" state:
"Kudarizaka No Touken": This attack strains the user mentally as the user shoots blades from the behind, using the infinite amount of blades as ammo. Damage is dependent on the speed of the attack and speed is dependent on the amount of mental focus and mental health of the user. The user can only fire the number of blades that the user can mentally wield at a time. And with every attack the user will become more and more strained. The user is only cpabale of firing the attack based on the equation: (Number of blades mentally wielded x 2). Thus the more blades the user is capable of mentally wielding the more damage the user can inflict. However with more blades the user will have a sever migraine after the user is only capable of firing 3 more attacks. This side effect only applies to those who mentally wield more than 9 blades.

"Saishuu Kisoku": This is the beginning phrase of the "Saishuu Kisoku" commands, or translated as Final Breath. As the name infers, "Saishuu Kisoku" is a desperation attack and after this attack the user loses "Mugendai Touken" and "Ikusa Kami" and the swords revert back to their shikai state and the user will feel the full impact of the physical and mental strain they had brought upon themselves during the battle.

"Saishuu Kisoku: Kyousei Sutoraiku": Translated as "Last Breath: Magnificent Strike". This attack is used in desperation by the user and as said before will render the user almost incapable of movement. The attack will place great strain on the user and afterwards the user will collaspe rendering him incapable of battle. Instead of the normal amount of blades that the user can mentally wield, the user will be capable of wielding 2.5 times his abilities. This of course will mentally strain the user tremendously since the user's mental capacity isn't capable of this feat. These blades will then come at a single target from all directions striking at the opponent even as they move away. The amount of reiatsu and the force of the "wind distortions" are exponentially increased allowing these forces that are released from this attack to be great enough to deal fatal wounds also these projectiles would be 5 times their normal size covering a much larger area, and depending on the number of blades used these projectiles are capable of eliminating a medium sized army.

"Saishuu Kisoku: Kudarizaka No Sono Tennotsukai No Zetsumei": Translated as "Last Breath: Descent of the Angel of Death". This attack is used as a desperation attack and will drain the user of all of their energy, thus the user will faint after this leaving the user vulnerable if the target is able to resist this attack. The attack uses the infinite amount of blades behind the user. The user's reiatsu will increase a hundred fold and the mental capacity of the user will increase at the same amount. The user is lifted off the ground at the height of 5 miles giving room for the attack, due to the incredible amount of reiatsu gained. The number of blades used in this attack is based on the mental capacity of the user. (Max number of blades mentally controlled x 1000) is the equation used, thus the severe and possibly fatal aftereffect of this attack. The blades will split evenly into two groups, one on each side of the user, creating what looks like angel wings behind the user. The user will then descend, as the user descends the blades are all empowered by the users reiatsu. Then as the user approaches the ground (1 mile above the ground), the "wings" look as if they are flapping, and then they will shoot down below towards the target(s). The blades travel at an immense speed and acceleration, once the blades come into contact with any solid matter it will explode and release a concentrated area attack of reiatsu capable of mortally wounding a person. Also, if the attack was not dangerous enough after this initial wave, the type of "wind distortions" created by this attack is created only in this circumstance. The "wind distortions" is normally created when the user slashes, however these blades were shot down at immense speeds. At these speeds and because of the amount of reiatsu used in this attack, "wind distorations" are made. These "wind distortions" deal damage depending on the speed of the blade shot before it hit the ground. These "wind distortions" are more like orbs coming down upon the area, and are exceptionally large, at least 10 feet in diameter. Of course these "wind distortion" orbs hit the same area the blades hit and they are capabale of mortally wounding or kill anyone that stands in it's path (Of course it depends on the speed of the initial attack).

"Saishuu Kisoku: Saishuu Benso": This is technically not an attack, but can be used like one. However it still follows the rules of the "Saishuu Kisoku" commands. This command surrounds the user in a semi orb of blades at a radius of 10 feet around the user. The blades used in this command will spin rapidly, capable of shredding an opponent to pieces if they are not careful enough. Of course, if the opponent is skilled enough they can get within the barrier or attack the person inside the barrier. The barrier only lasts for a minute and afterwards the blades will shoot out in all directions away from the user. These blades are capable of piercing through a person's body because of the speed that they were launched.

30 December 2007, 12:18 PM

Updated Clan Profile. :D

Name: Raisurinu Tourizan
Age: 21
Rank: None

Spoils of the War of Heartless:
Vizard Powers
Small Brown Pouch (Contents Unknown)

Appearance: Raisurinu is around six feet tall and has grey eyes. He has tan skin and a look of oriental descent. Raisurinu also has long white hair and wears something that looks like the shinigami uniform. Raisurinu's gaze always seem stern and serious. Raisurinu also has a medium build, however despite the appearance of this build Raisurinu has much greater strength due to the strenuous amount of training needed to wield two blades.

Vizard Appearance: Raisurinu would look the same as he did before he begins hollowfication. Whatever state he is in he would retain that appearance except that his hollow mask will begin appearing. Raisurinu's vizard mask covers only half his face and has the same shape of Ichigo's. However, Raisurinu's hollow mask is notably different from the rest, the mask is black except for some stripes of gold. Also, as all vizard's eyes change when they begin hollowfication, Raisurinu's pupils will turn gold and the whites of his eyes will turn black.

Vizard Mask:

Bio: Not much is known about Raisurinu within the Soul Society, only notable thing is that he was once part of the Soul Society and left mysteriously, now he has trespassed into the Soul Society discarding the title of Shinigami.

Zanpakutou: Zrion and Zarion (Duel Wielding Zanpakutou)
Secondary Weapons: None

Zrion and Zarion

Sealed State: Both swords are respectively sealed in two different sheaths, eventhough they are both part of the same Zanpakutou, however due to the amount of spiritual power both swords contain a single sheath will not easily withstand the amount of energy contained within both swords, thus in a way it is much like Zangetsu.

Shikai State: Once released from their sheaths both blades release an enormous amount of spiritual energy around the user, this energy inflicts only minor injuries to those who are caught in the radius of this shockwave, however the released spiritual energy does not deduct the amount of energy within the two swords. Zrion is a 5 foot long bastard hand wielded by Raisurinu's right hand. Zrion's blade has no other distinguishing features other than it's black colored blade and some markings engraved within the blade. Zarion is a 4 and a half foot katana held in Raisurinu's other hand. As the same as Zrion there are no other distinguishing features other than it's black blade and it's markings. There are no command spells for this Zanpakutou set. However, the only notable skill in this Zanpakutou set is that when the user engages in a flurry of attacks, these swords create much distortion through the air causing the wind, that it creates, to inflict damage to the user's opponent if the attack and the wind distortion are not avoided.

Bankai State: In their bankai state, both blades' length are increased and more markings appear. These markings periodically emits a dark aura. Zrion has now become a 6 foot long bastard sword and Zarion has become a 5 and a half long katana blade. Nothing else seems to have changed other than the length and the markings. Seperately these two blades harbor different abilities. Zrion allows the user to gain god like speed, however this speed does not match that of the Zangetsu, but it is nearly to par with it. Zarion now has the sole ability to control the wind distortions as mentioned in the shikai form, however this ability is increased and gains the speed of Zrion, also these wind distortions now have the ability to inflict major wounds upon it's target if not completely dodged. This ability is also passed on to Zrion. However, in their final Bankai state the dark aura emanating from both blades will converge upon their user with the command, "Ikusa Kami". This aura fills its user with the urge to destroy all and an unquenchable blood lust. However, the change in attitude is not the only thing that happens, once the aura converges upon the user, the user will begin to emanate the same aura the markings had, also the users natural strength and speed are increased, as well as the user's reaction time. Also, a change in appearance will begin, the user will look more and more demonic, and the user's attire is completely changed, the user will resemble a great deal like Zangetsu due to it's rivalvry in speed. In this state the user will not notice any wounds dealt to them, fatal or not. This ability fades when either the user is decapitated or all of the user's opponents are dead. Also, during this state, the user gains much immunity against many arts, this includes ninja arts and demon arts as well as magic but damage will still be done. Also, all wounds that the user will receive during this state will become less damaging to the user once he reverts back to his original state normally, or forcibly, this excludes the decapitation part. The user is allowed to forcibly remove this state by cutting oneself and and drinking their own blood. During this stat the user still have their mind and are not driven into a frenzy like berzerkers although this state may resemble one, the user will not become a berzerker unless the user is already one. In addition, in this form there is a command spell which will activate another ability during this state, this command spell is, "Mugendai Touken". Upon recitation of "Mugendai Touken" A infinite amount of blades will emerge and appear behind the user, each and every blade representing Zrion and Zarion, these baldes increase the abilities of the user in this state ten folds, however this ability will harm the user to great effect after it is worn off. These blades also emit the same aura Zrion and Zarion did during their bankai form, this aura will constantly flow from the blades and converge upon the user, the source of his increased abilities. These blades can also be controlled by the users mind, however depending on the mental abilities of the user, the user will not be able to control all of the blades since no person has infinite menatl abilities. Raisurinu personally is able to control ten blades using his mind and still wields his own two. In this form after the user has either naturally or forcibly remove their state they will receive a stamina penalty including the penalty that they received in the other state, also the user will receive tremendous pain not received from their battle wounds but from their reiatsu and the dark aura emitted from the infinite amount of blades. To forcibly remove this state one must drink the blood of their opponent and the users own blood.

Vizard State: The abilities of Raisurinu will change depending on which state he is in. Also, as with all vizards an increase in power and speed are noted. And the abilities of Hollows are gained.

Vizard Shikai State: "Kamikaze" attacks are increased in size and power and can be combined with cero. Speed and power increases are noted.

Vizard Bankai State (Non Ikusa Kami): Raisurinu's speed will exceed Zangetsu's by a slightly higher degree, power is also increased. "Kamikaze" attacks are increased in size, speed, and power from the bankai state and can be combined with cero.

Vizard Bankai State (Ikusa Kami): Raisurinu's speed will exceed Zangetsu's significantly. Power is doubled combined with Vizard powers and Ikusa Kami. As always the "Kamikaze" attacks are increased in size, power, and speed and can be incorporated with cero. A noticeable effect appears when Raisurinu attacks, the dark aura around Raisurinu will spread with every attack, the reiatsu lingers in the air for a while before becoming absorbed by Raisurinu after a set time.

Vizard Bankai State (Mugendai Touken): The abilities of Raisurinu will increase like previous states. The power, size, and speed of "Kamikaze" will increase. In this state, Raisurinu's abilities will increase by half, since he already gains a boost from this state itself. Cero attacks will now adopt the abilities of Zarion and Zrion, and Raisurinu is capable of unleashing ten cero blasts all at the same moment.

Abilities:

"Kamikaze/Wind Distortions": "Kamikaze" is the passive abilities of this Zanpakutou and as the name may suggest otherwise does not have an element associated to them. "Kamikaze" is literally translated as divine wind and not the term for a suicide attack. "Kamikaze" is basically an attack created using air pressure. Also, on a side note, "Kamikaze" is cpable of attacking using an element stacked upon it's normal air pressure attack. For example, if the user was to attack through fire, a "fire distortion" would occur which is stacked along with the "Kamikaze", if the user attacks through air, "wind distortions" would occur, etc. Of course, if the attack is a "fire distortion" it will be a bit slower then the "wind distortion". An "earth distortion" would be considerably slower and would reach only a short distance. "Earth distortions" are made when the user uses "Kamikaze" towards the ground sending the earth towards the direction of the attack. "Water distortions" are the same but slightly faster. (The speeds of the elemental "Kamikaze" are as followed: Wind > Fire > Water > Earth). Other elements such as Lightning matches the speed of Fire and Ice matches the speed of Earth. Non solid elements that were not listed matches the speed of Fire and solid elements that were not listed matches the speed of Earth. Liquid elements follows the speed of Water.

Vizard Abilities:

Cero: All Vizards have this ability, however Raisurinu's cero abilities are incorporated with "Kamikaze" and in his "Mugendai Touken" state, it is possible to release ten cero blasts at once.

"Reimei no Kuragari": Literally translated as "Dawn of Darkness". This attack uses the reiatsu that Raisurinu gives off during his "Ikusa Kami" vizard state and "Mugendai Touken" vizard state. After the citation of this command will engulf the surrounding area in pitch darkness. The area in which this command takes up will be relative to the amount of reiatsu released. People engulfed in this state are unable to sense the presence of spiritual energy and must rely on natural instincts of sound and smell. Sight is impossible within this area. However, this area can be destroyed at will by the user. If the user wishes for it, the area covered will implode damaging everyone inside the area with the user's reiatsu. Damage is calculated by the amount of reiatsu per square feet.

"Saishuu Kisoku": These commands will increase in power but will not render Raisurinu completely useless. Upon the use of "Saishuu Kisoku" commands, the user will lose the powers of the vizard, "Mugendai Touken", and "Ikusa Kami". But will stay in their shikai state. Mental fatigue and physical fatigue will be lessened to a slightly lower degree.

Commands:

"Ikusa Kami": As explained above it enables the berserk like state of the user.
"Mugendai Touken" (Only if the user is in the "Ikusa Kami" state): As explained above is the command to increase the user's abilities in the "Ikusa Kami" state and brings out an infinite amount of blades behind the user, the blades only appear behind the user in a set area, otherwise the area in which the user uses "Mugendai Touken" would be engulfed in blades.

The following commands can only be used in the "Mugendai Touken" state:
"Kudarizaka No Touken": This attack strains the user mentally as the user shoots blades from the behind, using the infinite amount of blades as ammo. Damage is dependent on the speed of the attack and speed is dependent on the amount of mental focus and mental health of the user. The user can only fire the number of blades that the user can mentally wield at a time. And with every attack the user will become more and more strained. The user is only cpabale of firing the attack based on the equation: (Number of blades mentally wielded x 2). Thus the more blades the user is capable of mentally wielding the more damage the user can inflict. However with more blades the user will have a sever migraine after the user is only capable of firing 3 more attacks. This side effect only applies to those who mentally wield more than 9 blades.

"Saishuu Kisoku": This is the beginning phrase of the "Saishuu Kisoku" commands, or translated as Final Breath. As the name infers, "Saishuu Kisoku" is a desperation attack and after this attack the user loses "Mugendai Touken" and "Ikusa Kami" and the swords revert back to their shikai state and the user will feel the full impact of the physical and mental strain they had brought upon themselves during the battle.

"Saishuu Kisoku: Kyousei Sutoraiku": Translated as "Last Breath: Magnificent Strike". This attack is used in desperation by the user and as said before will render the user almost incapable of movement. The attack will place great strain on the user and afterwards the user will collaspe rendering him incapable of battle. Instead of the normal amount of blades that the user can mentally wield, the user will be capable of wielding 2.5 times his abilities. This of course will mentally strain the user tremendously since the user's mental capacity isn't capable of this feat. These blades will then come at a single target from all directions striking at the opponent even as they move away. The amount of reiatsu and the force of the "wind distortions" are exponentially increased allowing these forces that are released from this attack to be great enough to deal fatal wounds also these projectiles would be 5 times their normal size covering a much larger area, and depending on the number of blades used these projectiles are capable of eliminating a medium sized army.

"Saishuu Kisoku: Kudarizaka No Sono Tennotsukai No Zetsumei": Translated as "Last Breath: Descent of the Angel of Death". This attack is used as a desperation attack and will drain the user of all of their energy, thus the user will faint after this leaving the user vulnerable if the target is able to resist this attack.

But those abilities are only meant to be used as a desperation attack! D: I can't count on them to actually do anything at all, especially since I noted some weaknesses in them. =\ I might as well stick to the Mugendai Touken sets of attack rather than use any of the Saishuu Kisoku attacks.

Personally, I believe everybody should only have one or, (at the most) two of those kinda attacks with 'em. Kinda ruins the fun if you start the battle with "[INSERT NAME] drawed in the energy of his/her opponent, and fired it back in a devastatingly powerful attack that is neigh impossible to deflect" =/
