Anyway that was fun nice time passer for me XD. I was pretty on break at work. The "mikaradetasabi" you're referring to can directly mean "Reap what you sow" as well if you use 身から出た錆, just saying. :P

As far as names go, I was thinking something like "Offensive Reflection" or "Counter Reaction" for her name. The name for her primary attack was going to be "return" I'm open to suggestions though. I'm not good at this sort of thing.

When i got to thinking of expanding on her abilities, i got the idea to have her start vibrating at ultra high frequencies as the stored energy begins to reach its limit. Almost as if she is just so excited to release it that she cant be still. I was thinking that maybe these vibrations could be used to disrupt the area around me for a time but since it takes a massive amount of energy to achieve, it cant be held for long. Just a thought At least you have enough artistic ability to draw her? I have better luck with writing, if anything.

If you wanted to use "Offensive Reflection", the Japanese would be 攻勢反射 (kousei hansha), though, using this line of thought, I think 攻勢防御 (kousei bougyou, lit. "attack as a defense; attacking defense") would be more appropriate. None of them sound very name-like, do they? I suppose that can be rectified by switching the reading of the characters around, though, that's some effort I'm not in the mood to go into at the moment. XD

As for that attack concept you noted, it's a good reference to the very beginning when Ichigo learns what it means to hold resolve in his zanpakutou when he trained under Urahara. That "screaming" zanpakutou is what I imagined when I read that paragraph of yours.
