Gōtōishi (Volition Larceny): Gōtōishi takes the form of a nodachi with a gold octagonal guard, royal purple hilt-wrapping and a royal purple sheathe.


 * Shikai: Gōtōishi is released by the command “Reign”. In its released state it transforms into a 1.3 metre-long simple white-wax wood sceptre with a bronze ball at the base and a large gold ball with a snake coiling around it at the top.


 * Shikai special abilities: Gōtōishi has the ability to create any type of creature imaginable, of various sizes, out of any liquid or solid substance that it can touch with the base of its sceptre e.g. the ground, a brick wall, water, a tree, acid etc. The more complex and larger the creature is, the more spiritual energy is required to create, control and maintain its existence; the wielder can potentially create an unlimited amount of creatures although it would require a lot of concentration and spiritual energy to be able to actively control and maintain them all. The created creatures have very limited sentience and are driven entirely by induced primal instinct; they follow the wielder’s every command but have enough sense to be able to focus and take down those considered as enemies to the wielder. The created creatures can regenerate indefinitely, provided the substance they are created from is present and the wielder has sufficient spiritual energy. All created creatures will cease existing and fall apart when either the wielder is knocked out, once Gōtōishi is resealed or when the wielder runs out of available spiritual energy.


 * Bankai: Gōtōishi Ingōbō (Volition Larceny, Heartless Tyranny): The wielder strikes the ground three times with the base of Gōtōishi and then raises it into the air while initiating bankai. In bankai Gōtōishi Ingōbō retains its sceptre form but it is now 1.7 metres long and is made of an extremely dense metallic golden material; the ball at the base is now gold with a 30cm spike protruding from the bottom and the large gold ball at the top of the sceptre now ‘sits’ in a pair of hands, has a dragon coiling around it and has a 10cm spike protruding from the top. The wielder now wears an ornate royal purple royal cape over their shihakushō.


 * Bankai special abilities: Gōtōishi Ingōbō the same abilities as in shikai albeit enhanced. All created creatures will continue existing and will act of their own volition even if the wielder is knocked out; however they will cease existing when the wielder commands it or once the wielder’s spiritual energy is completely depleted.


 * Gensogun (Elemental Army): By stabbing the earth with the base of the sceptre Gōtōishi Ingōbō creates up to a hundred golems, which greatly resemble the wielder and have all the physical abilities and traits the wielder has, from the materials in the wielder’s immediate vicinity. Each golem wields a blade (made from the same material they are made from), which resembles Gōtōishi in its sealed form, and all created are sentient enough to be able to make simple decisions and learn from their mistakes; ultimately all golems will obey the wielder’s commands without question. If destroyed, they will not regenerate and the wielder must create more.


 * Sei no Ishi (Will of the Conqueror): Gōtōishi Ingōbō’s most powerful technique that allows the wielder to overwhelm and then completely dominate a person’s will and sentience. By charging spiritual energy through Gōtōishi Ingōbō and then stabbing the victim with either spike, Gōtōishi Ingōbō makes the victim the wielder’s subordinate thus robbing them of their own volition; this allows the wielder to strengthen or weaken the victim physically or mentally, control the victim’s speech and actions and otherwise manipulate their victims as they wish. The victim will remain the wielder’s subordinate for as long as the wielder wills them to be; the subordination effect ceases when bankai is resealed but immediately resumes whenever Gōtōishi Ingōbō is released again. Victims that have strong wills or greater reiatsu can resist this technique and those who have a will (or reiatsu) that far exceeds the wielder’s in strength can completely break free from this technique. The wielder can make up to six people their subordinate at once.


 * Kanzen Tōbatsu (Complete Subjugation): This allows the wielder to instantaneously summon any person that has been made their subordinate to the wielder’s immediate vicinity. Using Bakudō spells or any other spiritual methods of restraint on a person under the wielder’s control can block this sub-technique from working.
