is the manifested spirit of Sajin Komamura's Zanpakutō that is seen during the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc.

Character Outline
Tenken's spirit appears to be based after the buddhist deity Fudo Myooh. He has red skin and is capable of shooting fire from his mouth. He carries both a bolas and a sword; both of which can also produce fire. His strength was enough to win a tug-of-war between him and his former master.

Synopsis
He first appears when Sajin Komamura's Bankai disappears during a failed attack against Muramasa. As soon as he appears, Tenken engages the 7th Division Captain in a fight. He deals a serious blow to his former master's chest, leaving him lying on the ground. Tenken then joins the rest of the Zanpakutō spirits who have materialized before the Shinigami on Sōkyoku Hill. When the Shinigami attempt a counterattack, Rukia Kuchiki and Momo Hinamori double team Tenken, only to be repulsed with relative ease.

Powers & Abilities
At any time, Tenken is able to conjure the sealed sword-form of his former self.

Master Swordsmanship Specialist: As seen from his short skirmish against Sajin, Tenken possesses considerable sword prowess even while whielding a secondary weapon.

Expert Whip Whielder: In addition to swordsmanship, Tenken is highly proficient with using a whip to bind and restrict an opponent's movements.

Enhanced Strength: Being able to drag an immensely strong opponent like Sajin off his feet with a single hand demonstrates incredible strength on Tenken's part.

Fire Manipulation: Tenken is able to conjure and manipulate fire through both his sword and whip, as well as breath it out his mouth.
