Spirit Description

Shikai
Release Command: Senkou, Byakko (Flash, White Tiger)
When Masato releases his zanpakutō, both he and his sword are surrounded by a white light. The blade then straightens out into a long silver ninjato. The hand guard is solid, gold, and square in shape. The hilt becomes white with azure colored diamonds with a gold cap. An azure tassel hangs from the end.
Shikai Abilities
Hakutenroi (White Heaven Armor)
Shirotora’s blade glows white and becomes surrounded by white lightning. This electricity then travels up Masato’s arm and surrounds his entire body. The lightning delivers a mild shock to an opponent upon physical contact. This shock is enough to cause momentary numbness. Prolonged exposure will induce temporary paralysis. Since the field is composed of lightning its effect is greater when in contact with more conductive materials, metal or water, and less effectiveness when coming into contact with insulated materials, cloth or earth. High humidity will slightly increase the field around Masato's body due to the conductiveness of the moisture in the air.
Hakutename (White Heaven Rain)
The lightning gathers on the Byakko's blade. When swung, the blade releases the energy in the form of nearly a hundred electrical needles of reishi. These needles have a limited range of around 30 feet, but once released, the attack flies only in the wake of the blade. Masato has no control over them. These needles cause mild shock and if enough hit paralysis of the area will begin. As soon as these needles make contact they disperse. The needles' trajectory can be effect to strong winds. Because humid air is less dense than dry air, high humidity increases the speed of the needles by a few milliseconds. Because the needles of composed of compressed electricity their effect is greater when in contact with more conductive materials, metal or water, and less effectiveness when coming into contact with insulated materials, cloth or earth.
Hakutenga (White Heaven Fang)
Electricity gathers on the blade which can then be unleashed as a white lightning bolt. This lightning bolt is strong enough to smash through a solid boulder or wall.
Strengths
Byakko's three abilities are all fast and can cause paralysis, a deadly combination.
Weaknesses
The first two of Byakko's abilities become all but useless if they hit cloth rather than skin, resulting in very slim chances of actually getting hit.
All of Byakko's abilities are extremely draining, being that all the generated electricity must come from somewhere.
