▐♱ Zanapakuto Name ♱: Sashinaenat - Zetsubō (Reaper's Scythe : Despair)
▐♱ Sealed Description ♱: The Reaper's scythe is always in its sealed state. When it is drawn one can understand it is already in the initial release known as shihae or shikai. However the closest thing to being sealed would be the normal state. In the normal state the blood is unseen, it is better to say it is in another plane of death. However when needed the blade appears to Yuri. It is carried by a guardian some say it is one of the manifestation of the Zanpakuto or the true form of Yuri. The guardian is described as a floating sketal figure draped in fading black. Sometimes it possess its lower body sometimes it does not but always it holds the Reaper's Sycthe only letting Yuri herself draw from it. The guardian is invisible to all unless Yuri draws her blade even then if Yuri permits. It fades in and fades out to let Yuri Draw her blade and sheathe it back in. Obedient and unspeaking, it has a black eye of shadows that gazes at all.
▐♱ Release Phrase ♱: Constant Release Type N/A
▐♱ Manifestation ♱: The manifestation of her Zanpakuto spirit is a silent one. Sexless the being is of a thick skeletal structure. Obedient and loyal the being gazes at Yuri's foes with a smoking black haze. It resembles in every sense a reaper, clad in drapes of black. Though the form may vary this is the core feature of the manifestation. Sometimes it is seen carrying its own scythe, or even floating around with the lower abdomen missing.
▐♱ Inner World ♱: The inner world of Yuri Aoi is a peculiar one. It has no set form, she may change its structure and appearance to how she pleases it to be. It may at one point be a piece eden itself a place of peace and tranquillity. At other times it may simply be a deserted skyline city bustling in its own mechanical junk. There is however a scene that produces itself often and sometimes against her will. It is a hot dessert area where red sands blow about. Around her are souls that simply do not move. Sometimes turning their heads to see her or waving at her. They are blue in color. Passive to everything.

________________________________▐♱ Shikai Description ♱: The blade is nothing special. There are but two deceptions to the Sycthe. The first is that it isn't a sycthe it is infact a simple blade of eastern design. Better described as a Nodachi. The hilt wrapped a fine thick color of blue, shaped to fit at 5 length's of Yuri hand. Capped on both ends with a dark iron color'd metal. The hilt guards are simply multiple rings spiralling in towards the center. The collar of the blade is of a dull yellow, possibly holding a golden hue before. The blade itself runs down a curve, ending at a sharp point of 170cms. The blade is nothing fancy or a bejewelled shining blade in fact the blocking surface is a dull grey lacking any ornate design save the simply blade groove. The mune, or backridge is thick compared to a Katana, giving it a bit of weight. The width of the blade lies around 4cms. The edge and temperlines however are sharpened, the only surface that reflects and even then with a mithril hue. The Saya, scabbard or sheathe is of simple design. Curving to accomodate the blade it is black in color. The edge of the sheathe where the point of the blade would rest is wrapped lightly with a blue cloth ribbons. The same goes for near the mouth. Wrapped high point and above midpoint these are connected together to be able tie around the waist or back. Together 3 seperate blue ribbons are tied. On the area in which one would normally hold the Saya is the Captain commander's haori, wrapped loosely around it.

▐♱ Shikai Ability ♱:The second deception is the simplicity of it. Some might think it is the sealed state not expecting much. Those keener on the eye and mind might expect an ability that fits the title of firstborn. However they are always wrong. It is not the sealed state nor does it have a flashy ability but it will not betray the expectations of the first born. Absolute Power. The blade holds a cutting power of unfair proportions. It holds the ability to cut and to slice through near everything. The strength can be compared to many things but in terms of a Kido scale it can be measured as 66. The power is absolute meaning. Anything that is equal to or under 66 will be pierced by it as if it were made out of a single wet paper. It is simply pure strength.
________________________________▐♱ Bankai Description ♱: Karu - ( Reap )
There is nothing special with the Bankai appearance save it is only a step away from the true powers of Yuri. The blade changes, taking on a blue hue to it's mithril finish. The blade takes grooves in it's edge, 3 razored grooves exist at the base middle and near the tip of the blade. The initial grooving spikes out on the mune as well. A bony chain like design sits on the blade's flatside. The hilt guard is replaced a dark bony structure, the fine blue disappears as a darker shade of grey blue cloth is wraps only some parts of the blade. When it swings it remains silent.
The releasing of the blade is no joking matter. The brief moment before release things seem to be different for a moment one could swear everything slowed down, sounds a low mumble, a blinking eye an eternity. But this is for but a split second. One doesn't even have the chance to notice and question it. A deafening silence erupts from within Yuri, a visible dome of air pressure breaks out of her, travelling and flushing back most things for as wide as 10 kilo meters.
This initial blast is an outburst of spiritual pressure enough to knock out weaklings in accordance to Yuri's Spiritual Pressure. Even to those who could dare to match her pressure would feel a reaper's scythe right under their throats. Your very soul has this unshakable feeling that it is being slowly but surely being sucked out your body.
Upon release one could swear her shadow to be the shape of a grim reaper, skeletal and draped in black cloaks. Her spiritual pressure takes a change, becoming blurred and suffocating. A Large Floating Grim Reaper stands behind her with an even larger Scythe. Some have mistaken it for a Menos Grande but this but a shadow that is absorbed into Yuri as her bankai comes to form. When she moves around, her hair, her fingers, her arms, even when she shunpos or swings her blade a feint trail of a shadowy cloak is visible.

▐♱ Bankai Ability ♱: In addition to the absolute cutting power increasing up to level 86 there is another trait a true fear of the Reaper's sycthe. It has the ability to kill anything. However let us not misunderstand the concept though the blade holds a high cutting prowress it does not mean if the blade touches you it kills you. This is the reaper's sycthe fabled to claim any form of life span that anything can hold. It is better understood as the potential to kill anything. When the blade swings it culls the very air around it, silent in its swing. The blade has the potential to end the life of a rock, a plant, an insect, even the very spiritual particles that make up life in both the physical and spiritual realm. It is the oldest Zanpakuto in history and the by far the sharpest blade and the most powerful blade in raw power in all of Soul Society.The shikai existed to part the soul from the body. The Bankai was made to destroy the soul and even the body and anything that defied it.
Culling Life out of Existence will be technique orientated.
"I was once cut down by that very blade. That day, a part of me died." -Nanatsu-o Izanagi of the Research and Development Division.
