Aogamen Kyōko (Blue Screen, Crazy Kid): While sealed Aogamen Kyōko has a typical appearance of a Japanese tachi, complete with a circular guard and blue hilt-wrapping. Its sheathe is also blue.


 * Shikai: The wielder points the blade at their opponent whilst reciting the command “Finish him!/Finish her!/Finish it!” (depends on the gender of the opponent). In shikai Aogamen Kyōko takes the appearance of a stylized Chinese dadao with a dark blue tassel hanging from the base of the hilt. On the wielder’s sword arm, a slim-fitting dark blue metal wrist gauntlet forms over their wrist; it has a digital design with a single circular ‘screen’ in the centre and a clear gauge on the side.


 * Special shikai abilities: Aogamen Kyōko has the special ability to incorporate video game physics into reality. Anyone that steps in the boundaries of Aogamen Kyōko’s reiatsu is forced to play by its video game rules, thus becoming a ‘player’, including the wielder. Anyone under the power of Aogamen Kyōko receives a clear gauge along the side of their sword (fore)arm.


 * Rensa Shiai (Chain Game): This core technique restricts players of the game to only be able to perform their specific (shikai) techniques once they have achieved a hit combo score of at least 10; upon usage of said technique, the player must achieve another 10-hit combo to use a technique again. When a player successfully lands consecutive hits on their opponent(s), in quick succession, their hit combo score increases; the wielder’s score appears on the screen of the wrist gauntlet.
 * Chō-rensa: Hijin Senkō (Super Chain: Flying Blade Flash): If the wielder gets a combo of at least 10 hits, this special technique becomes available for use. The wielder makes three slashing movements (in the shape of an asterisk ‘*’) and, at the instant of each slash, it absorbs and condenses the wielder’s spiritual energy releasing three sky blue arc-shaped energy waves at the target. It is a powerful technique with great force.
 * Hasensō Rensa (Blade War Chain): The focus of this game is for players to achieve as high a hit combo as possible. Each successful consecutive hit a player lands does progressively more damage (i.e. the 2nd consecutive hit does slightly more damage than the 1st hit, the 3rd consecutive hit does slightly more damage than the 2nd consecutive hit and so on). A combo ends if the player’s attack is blocked or if the player takes too long to land a consecutive hit (anything longer than 2 seconds counts as too long).
 * Rensa Chūdan (Chain Interruption): A combo breaker technique. If the player can interrupt their opponent’s combo with an attack of their own, their attack receives increased damage equal to the damage they would have received from the opponent’s next hit. E.g. if the opponent was currently on a hit combo score of 10 and the player broke their combo with an attack, the player’s attack would do damage equal to a hit combo of 11.
 * Kiai Rensa (Fighting Spirit Chain): As players rack up combos, the clear gauge on their arm (the side of the wrist gauntlet for the wielder) begins to fill with a red substance. When full, the player gains the ability to release their bankai, Resurrección or Vollständig.


 * Bankai: Bōgamen Kyōsenshu (Violence Screen, Crazy Player): Once the gauge is full, Aogamen Kyōko glows with its spiritual energy and then the wielder extends their sword arm forward, zanpakutō in hand, and initiates bankai. Bōgamen Kyōsenshu retains its shikai form but the blade is lengthened. The wrist gauntlet now covers up to just below the wielder’s arm, still allowing a full range of movement, and the filled gauge now runs along the forearm section.


 * Special bankai abilities: Bōgamen Kyōsenshu possesses the same abilities as in shikai, but now possesses more techniques. For all players involved, the duration of their bankai/Resurrección/Vollständig rests solely on how filled their gauge is; during bankai/Resurrección/Vollständig their gauge gradually empties and, once the gauge is completely empty, bankai/Resurrección/Vollständig is forcibly resealed. This emptying process normally takes anywhere between 3-7 minutes but can be slowed by racking up high hit combos, thus allowing bankai/Resurrección/Vollständig to be maintained for longer.


 * Rensa Shiai (Chain Game): This core technique functions the same as in shikai but also prevents bankai, Resurrección and Vollständig techniques from being used until the player receives a hit combo score of at least 20; upon usage of said technique, the player must achieve another 20-hit combo to use a bankai, Resurrección or Vollständig technique again.
 * Muteki Rensa (Invincible Chain): If a player gets a combo of at least 30 hits, this technique instantly activates, making the player completely impervious to physical damage for seven seconds. After the technique ends, the player must achieve another 30-hit combo to activate again.
 * Chō-rensa: Ryūseijin Senkō (Super Chain: Meteor Blade Flash): If the wielder gets a combo of at least 20 hits, this technique becomes available for use. The wielder makes a multitude of slashing movements and, at the instant of each slash, it absorbs and condenses the wielder’s spiritual energy releasing arc-shaped energy waves at the target; the energy waves are dark blue with a sky blue outline. It is a very powerful technique with great force.
 * Chō Idō: Yobun Seimei (Secret Move: Extra Life): By landing the killing blow through a victim’s Saketsu and Hakusui (or equivalent) the player gains an ‘extra life’. This actually manifests as the player being able to survive and then instantly heal from hits that should be fatal e.g. getting your heart destroyed, but instantly regenerating your heart afterwards. Only one ‘extra life’ can be stored at one time. When an ‘extra life’ has been gained, a black heart-shaped stamp appears on the player’s left pectoral; the black stamp remains even after Bōgamen Kyōsenshu is resealed or if the wielder dies and will only disappear once the ‘extra life’ has been used up.
