Sandāhōku (Thunder Hawk) (Continued)

Bankai First State: Kitaru Arashi no Taka-ha (Hawk of The Coming Storm)

Bankai Form: Black clouds billow from the wielder's blade and surround the battlefield. The wielder himself actually melds with the clouds, allowing him to move quickly and undetected around the enemy. The wielder can materialize either his whole body or parts of it to attack the enemy, and can vary the size of these body parts using the clouds. The wielder can also create copies of himself that electrocute the enemy on contact. The clouds can also be used to choke the enemy by depriving them of oxygen, but this requires that the wielder comes into direct contact with the afflicted enemy, which presents a risk to the wielder as he is unable to defend at that point.

Bankai Special Moves:

Fezā hyō (Feather Hail)- This move causes razor sharp pieces of hail to form in the clouds and strike the enemy in rapid succesion.

Shuryō sukurīchi (Hunting Screech)- The user causes shockwaves to barrage the enemy, creating a sound very similar to the sound of rolling thunder.

Bankai True State: Gurētoharikēn no taka (Hawk of the Great Hurricane)

Bankai Form: This form is Sandāhōku's true Bankai and extremely destructive, both to the wielder and the enemies. When activated, a bolt of black lightning strikes the ground in front of the user, condensing into the shape of a sword. When the wielder draws the sword from the ground, electricity courses through his body, giving unbelievable strength and speed, but also causing catastrophic damage to his body. At the same time, the wind begins to blow wildly. This wind surrounds the user, gaining a golden aura and forming a layer of armor that rips at anything that comes near. In this state, the user is able to call down lightning at will as he attacks and can slash at the enemy from any direction. Any injuries the wielder sustains are cauterized by the shear heat of the lightning coursing through his body. He can lengthen the lightning sword up to ten feet when attacking and can form a shield out of the wind. The biggest drawback of this form is that if the wielder uses it for more then ten minutes, he will have permanent, debilitating nerve, orgain, and muscle damage due to the effects of the electricity on his body. If he exceeds twenty minutes, he will die.

Bankai Special Moves:

Arashi-shin no geiruu~ingu (Storm God's Gale Wing) - Razor sharp winds strike the opponent in the form of eagles, ending with a massive, electrified eagle that smashes down on the enemy.

Arashi no shin no hitomi (True Eye of the Storm) - A tornado of spiritually enhanced wind and lightning forms around the wielder's blade, increasing cutting power and damage while also causing a surprising side effect that nullifies Shunko (Flash War Cry) related techniques, much like the Hanki (Reverse Demon) technique used by Yoruichi Shihoin, except it does not affect all kido techniques, only Shunko.
