Straight from the vault...!

Bunhana (Dividing Flower): Takes the form of a regular katana, except that is has a slightly longer blade. The hilt-wrapping is light pink and the tsuba is in the shape of a five-petal flower; it has a light pink sheathe.


 * Shikai: Bunhana is released by the command “Multiply the flowering devil”. In shikai its overall appearance does not change.


 * Special shikai abilities: Bunhana has the ability to create up to 100 intangible clones of the wielder from the wielder’s spiritual energy. The clones are perfectly identical to the wielder in appearance, behaviour, reiatsu, speech, personality etc. The only thing that differentiates them from the wielder is the fact that they are intangible and cannot interact directly with the environment; however they can and do cast shadows. Bunhana can only create intangible clones of the wielder.


 * Bankai: Bunhana Kyōsha (Dividing Flower, Mirror Copy): The wielder makes a circling motion with Bunhana then initiates bankai. In bankai Bunhana Kyōsha’s appearance barely changes at all; the only difference is that Bunhana Kyōsha’s blade is slightly longer and a long pink ribbon flows from the base of the hilt.


 * Special bankai abilities: Bunhana Kyōsha retains its ability to create up to 100 intangible clones of the wielder, but it can now also create intangible clones of other people or objects. To create an intangible clone of another person, their blood must first be attained (through cutting/stabbing etc.); once attained, it does not need to be retained again (even after being resealed).


 * Asa-sō Hansha (Shallow Reflection): A technique that enables Bunhana Kyōsha to change the wielder’s appearance into an identical copy of someone else; their blood must be attained before this technique can be used. Although reiatsu and speech is also copied, the wielder’s personality, reiryoku and abilities remain. If the target possesses abilities unique to them (such as their zanpakutō, being a different race etc.) then the wielder can perfectly mimic their abilities, but the mimicked abilities will be intangible and thus cannot interact directly with the environment. Once a person’s blood has been attained once, it does not need to be attained again (even after being resealed).


 * Hisankyō (Scattering Mirror): A dispelling technique that removes all illusions from the wielder’s immediate vicinity including illusions that the wielder isn’t under. More powerful illusions require more spiritual energy to remove; if the illusion is too strong (i.e. casted by a person with overwhelming reiatsu in comparison to the wielder) then the technique is rendered null. If an illusion has been successfully removed, the illusion around them will crack, shatter then fall away and the sound of a mirror shattering will ring out.


 * Hanakyōsō (Flower Mirror Twins): This technique enables the wielder to produce physical clones, which can interact with the environment. These physical clones are perfectly identical to the wielder in physical capability, powers and abilities, appearance, behaviour, reiatsu, speech, personality etc. The wielder is able to produce up to seven of these clones. However the clones disappear after a certain length of time; the length depends on how many are generated at once. If one clone is generated it lasts for 8-9 seconds; if all seven clones are generated they last for 2-3 seconds. They will forcibly disappear if grievously wounded.
