Ryūjin Jakka (Zanpakutō spirit)

Synopsis
When the rogue Zanpakutō spirit Muramasa appeared in an attempt to gain control of Ryūjin Jakka through his own Zanpakutō powers, Yamamoto acted first by producing a powerful barrier and going into a unconscious state so that Muramasa wasn't able to enter into his inner world to gain control over Ryūjin Jakka. Determined to achieve his goal, Muramasa had a contingency plan already in motion in case of such a set back. Muramasa staged a fake Zanpakutō rebellion by turning as many Zanpakutō spirits as he could loose on Soul Society.

Upon Muramasa's introduction to Ichigo Kurosaki, he devised a plan that would allow him to break the barrier Yamamoto had set up. By pretending Yamamoto was his prisoner, Muramsa was able to trick Ichigo into inadvertently breaking the barrier by combining his own power with that of Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō at its most powerful (enhanced via his Bankai and hollow mask). Once the barrier was shattered, Muramasa freely took control of Ryūjin Jakka. Muramasa then used his new servant to incinerate Katen Kyōkotsu and Sōgyo no Kotowari in their attempt to kill Muramasa for using them. Muramasa then makes his escape, destroying the entire area in the process.

Powers & Abilities
Immense Spiritual Power: Ryujin Jakka is the oldest, most powerful fire type and has greater attack power than all other Zanpakutō in Soul Society. Its power is so great that even the strongest of Shinigami are afraid of it even at its base power.

Fire Manipulation: The release of this Zanpakutō's spiritual pressure affects all in the area, and can be felt for miles upon miles across all of Seireitei. The aura of this spirit can disintegrate into ash and engulfing the surrounding landscape in a blazing firestorm and scorch the sky. Only the most powerful of fighters can resist it (abliet indirectly). Its Shikai power is great enough to fight two of the strongest Shikai in Soul Society simultaneously. The flames created by Ryūjin Jakka can be controlled with great precision to attack only the targets it chooses and it also has power over the intensity of the flames. While Ryūjin Jakka physical manifested form has yet to be seen, it is able to itself become a giant raging flame.
