For: Seisoku Yami (Bankai)
Name: Shousho no Kageouja - Decree of the Shadow King
Type: Supplementary
Cooldown: Continous use through Bankai
Cost: High
Range: Short - Long (0 - 100 meters)
Description: This ability is a much more effective and powerful version of Seibatsu no Kuragari. In Bankai, Masato no longer needs to make use of preexisting shadows to make use of them for battle. He can create and manipulate his own shadows with his own reiatsu.
Oukoku no Seisoku Yami's current ability to create and manipulate shadows is always on display for both its user and his enemy to gauge. The multiple masses of wings are actually representations of Oukoku no Seisoku Yami's capability to create and manipulate shadows of its own will.
In regards to the storage of shadows this is displayed by the number of wings present on the back of the armor of Oukoku no Seisoku Yami. While decorative they are essentially reiryoku gauges. With these wings, Masato is able to create his own shadows and work independent of the area around him. At maximum Oukoku no Seisoku Yami possesses six large wings. Each wing contains a mass of shadow that covers a 16 meter radius. As Masato's reiatsu weakens and through over exertion; the number of wings lowers.
Oukoku no Seisoku Yami can only replenish its shadow reserves and thus the wings one way; which is Masato's own replenishment of reiryoku via rest or reishi transfer.
Finally it should be noted that while the six back wings are the ones that are crucial to the bankai, Masato exploits the fact that the armor possess wings practically all over the armor. This allows him to deceive opponents in case one starts to catch on to this crucial mechanic of his bankai.
Name: Teiza no Karagari - Imperial Throne of Darkness
Type: Defensive
Cooldown: Three Posts (per Wing)
Cost: High
Range: Short - Long (0 - 100 meters)
Description:The most dangerous ability is the Imperial Throne of Darkness. The ability works with the surface area of Masato's own shadow. This ability allows Masato to make use of his own shadow to create encampments of darkness. Should he choose to, Masato can expand his shadow to cover a radius of 16 meters per wing used to expand it to create a enclosed box of darkness. At the maximum Masato can use all of his wings Masato can expand his shadow's surface area to 100 meters at maximum. The expansion of his shadow's surface area allows him to extend the overall range and magnitude in which he can section off an area with a box of darkness. The ability lasts so long as Masato himself is casting a shadow. So long as he has his own shadow Teiza no Karagrai is active. However expanding his shadow does tax his reiryoku. The shadow expansion lasts for one post per wing. However Masato must wait two posts per wing before attempting to expand his shadow once again due to the abilities exhaustive nature.
Name: Karagari no Tsurugi - Longsword of Darkness
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Two posts
Cost: Low
Range: Short (0 - 3 meters)
Description:An upgraded form of Kagebuki allows Masato to forge weapons from shadow. These weapons can come from preexisting shadow or from Oukoku no Seisoku Yami itself. These weapons are contain strength equivalent to Masato's reiryoku which allows him to actively battle with the weapons so long as he has he strength to do so. The shape of the weapons are merely limited by Masato's imagination but are rarely take forms aside from katana, chains, axes, hammers and spears. As with the shikai version theses weapons are the average size one expects these weapons to be. Masato can create at maximum two of any given weapon type or a combination of them.
Name: Kagetou - Shadow Servants
Type: Offensive
Cooldown: Four Posts
Cost: medium
Range: Short - Long (0 - 100 meters)
Description: With this ability Masato can create independent thinking and acting clones of himself out of the shadows by expelling a black liquid from his body which then reforms as a clone of himself. These clones are able to attack just as Masato himself can. He can only create as many clones as his reishi allows which is at maximum two (one per three wings). Despite the clones being made of shadows they cannot be transformed by Masato to be used for his zanpakuto's other abilities. Only after the clone is destroyed can Masato re-purpose the shadow.
The clone is especially weak in that one blow is enough to destroy it however in doing so, all shadow that was used to create the clone is once again released on to the battlefield in the form of a black outline of shadow. As the shadow wasn't destroyed Masato can re-absorb the shadow to replenish his reserves. Since the clones are now destroyed when they are hit Masato can reuse their shadow masses for use with his Karagari no Tsurugi. However their strength is notable weaker (they are half as strong as a fully forged Karagari no Tsurugi) as they are made of recycled shadows. .
