Ok, mine is Yokusei(Suppressed(can someone confirm this?)). It is a 13 inch bladed wakizashi with a black wrapped hilt(based on an imitation I have).

It's shikai is released by saying Release your rage, Yokusei. It becomes a blade about 10 feet long. It kinda has a curvy shape, the front is mostly straight until the last 3 feet where it curves upward while the back curves out and then back in making it pretty wide the first four feet. It has no hilt, just a less sharp part, sharp enough to cut you with enough force but not enough to slice yourself without trying. Also, you know how shikai typically are black with white edges, the part of the blade that you hold is all black while the cutting part is white. It's power is equal to the sum of you and your enemies combined spirit energy. However, each time you strike it halves your remaining physical strength as well as your remaining soul energy. After ten strikes it causes it to disapear all together.

It's bankai can only be activated after all of your soul energy has been depleated by the Shaikai form. It reverts to it's original size, and the blade changes back to normal except completley white, while the hilt shifts into a mirror image of the blade in black, making the sword an s-shape, it is razor sharp and can cause emense pain to both the weilder and the opponnent but cannot penetrate skin. It is used as a last resort, the user says "end this", there is a flash of light, and whoever has the most combigned strength + will to live + spirit energy wins. If the weilder loses this stat matchup the sealed form is plunged into their chest. If the opponent wins they are disarmed, their soul energy is drained, they are imobalized, and the sealed form levitates right above their heart, giving the weilder to either kill them, or if they pull the blade away their soul energy slowly returns and they are released from their bonds.
