Here is an update to mu zanpakuto listed above somewhere

Name: Yami no shirei-kan (Commander of the Darkness)

Release Command: Enforce Despair

Special Ability: Wherever the blade is swung, a sharp shadow will follow. If the enemy is near a shadow that is not his/her own, and you have cut that area previously, you will have access to use those shadows to attack your opponents. This blade does not only command the shadows, however. The blade’s cut works on all things, organic or not. When the blade strikes an organic opponent, such as a shinigami or a hollow, it fills them with an eerie sense that remains until Shirei-kan is deactivated. This sense will constantly mislead opponents and cause them to be more defensive in battle rather than a balance of defensive and offensive. This zanpakuto works differently from other zanpakuto, in that it does not die along with its master. The blade is considered parasitic, in which it feeds on reiatsu. If the wielder does not supply enough reiatsu to quench its thirst, it will start feeding on the reiatsu of him/her. And finally, if the wielder does not supply enough reiatsu over a surprisingly short period of time, the sword will kill its master and take his reiatsu as its own. This sword is passed down from generation to generation, and acts similar to Shinken Hakkyōken.

Named abilities:

Yami no keimusho (Darkness Prison): The wielder traps their opponent in a hollow square  made of shadow strands. The square is see through and has twenty circular clumps of shadows in a few areas. The wielder must face their opponent and call the name of the attack. Once they do, pikes made out of shadows will rise from the 20 circles and pierce the opponent. The enemy can dodge some of the spikes, but it is impossible to dodge all of them without breaking out of the prison.

Zetsubō sutorōku (Despair stroke): The wielder forms a circle of darkness and once the enemy is lured into the circle, four shadow chains will engulf the opponent and hold them down. Once this happens the wielder covers his blade in darkness, and stabs his opponent. The enemy screams out in fear, as he is rendered helpless by the stab. This leaves the wielder an easy chance to strike him/her down. This ability can be lessened if the enemy has higher reiatsu then the owner of the blade.

Hiretsuna esukēpu (Sneaky Escape): In turn for losing half of one’s stamina, the wielder can escape into the darkness. This involves the user's body becoming like the darkness itself. In this state the user can be seen, but cannot be harmed in any way. The user, in turn, cannot harm his opponent either. This ability lasts a small amount of time and can only be used once as, if used twice, the user will run out of stamina, and will be left open to enemy attack.

Bankai: Saigo no Hikari (Light of the end)

In this Bankai form, the user can control the darkness any way this wish, such as using it as a shield, attacking, etc. It also morphs the user’s normal katana into a wakizashi. It uses the rest of the blade to form 4 daggers to use as a weapon as explained below. In exchange for this amazing power, the user basically has to submit his will to that of the blade. It is entirely possible that the wielder may die shortly after his battle. Thus is the curse of Yami no Shirei-Kan.

Named Bankai abilities:

Mugen no yami no shiro (Castle of Infinite Madness): A long blade of shadow extends at Supersonic speed towards the enemy. If they can not dodge in time and get hit by the blade, shadows will build out towards the sky until the opponent can no longer see. Mirror like structures will find a place within this new room and will show the enemy of all the atrocities committed by any being. These will run on an infinite loop until the opponent loses sight of who they truly were, their real body dies, or they commit suicide in the room (which is an option provided to them. This move costs an insane deal of reiatsu and stamina to even use and if it misses that would leave the wielder vulnerable to enemy attack.  This attack cannot be blocked against by simply moving a sword or erecting a shield.

Kami no jinja (Shrine of God): The opponent is caught in the middle of an attack, and is surrounded by the shadow. They hold him/her with their arms stretched out and they are placed on the visage of a cross. They are pierced by several shadows. An intricately designed shadow in the shape of an immaculate fountain, which would rain down the blood of the opponent stuck by the blade. Their reiatsu will be available to the user and his blade This is the only technique that can not kill the user, but it does cost a severe amount of stamina and a heavy amount of focus to pull it off successfully.

Gurando Sefuto (Grand Theft): The user strikes their opponent and siphons off their reiatsu and stamina. This can be used by the user, but most of it will fall upon the blade to use. If the opponent uses an attack with reiatsu concentrated around their blade, this ability serves to lessen that attack. The blade may siphon off the user’s reiatsu and stamina if they fail to connect their strike. It is also diminished when the recipient of the attack has much higher reiatsu than the wielder, even to the point where it does not affect them at all.

Dagger 1: This dagger works much like the ability of bestowing despair from the Shikai version and will deliver the same effect (except that it is more extreme) when it cuts the opponent.

Dagger 2: This dagger forces the opponent to remember troubling times in the past during the battle, when it cuts him/her. This gives the user of Shirei-Kan an easy path to victory in the battle when the opponent is undergoing mental stress and emotional collapse.

Dagger 3: This dagger nearly paralyses the opponent with fear. When this dagger uses its ability by cutting someone, the user must use the fourth dagger and drop his wakizashi. If he does not do this, he will come under the same paralysis of the enemy.

Dagger 4: This dagger is the final one, and when it cuts the opponent. They are consumed by shadows and their reiatsu will come flowing back to Shirei-Kan. Then the opponent is killed at the spot.

Saigo no Gurando Sefuto (The Final Grand Theft): This ability is near impossible to obtain, but it is the most powerful Shirei-Kan has to offer. This ability essentially is the end of the curse. By giving the blade the taste of an opponent with immense reiatsu, such as Yamamoto and Aizen, the blade shatters under its own reiatsu stealing. This move is an instant kill, but it is slow and can be dodged easily by a user with an expert level in shunpo. If the move is dodged, the blade shall stay the same way it always was, and will not shatter and it will consume all of the user’s reiatsu instead, killing him. If the blade shatters, the user will be free from the curse and he will no longer be able to sense and see spirits. He can then return to the normal world and live out the rest of his existence that way.
