Ekitetsumaru
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Ekitetsumaru was Tategawa Shinji's Zanpakutō.
When unreleased, Ekitetsumaru resembles a blue zanbatō (an exceptionally long sword with a blade as long as a spear).

Spirit Description
He basically looks like a human-looking giant lump of liquid metal with swaying hands and a clump of metal as its base and feet. Something like that, only its colored blue.
Shikai
Release Command: Ekitetsumaru is unsheathed and is put up horizantally in front of Shinji's face. Shinji slides his hand on the flat side of the blade and says "Michishio, Ekitetsumaru!"
The blade "melts" to the ground and turns into a blue puddle of metal that responds to Shinji's reiatsu and commands.
Shikai Abilities
Seisokui Suigin (Living Mercury)
Ekitetsumaru becomes a controllable puddle of metal. Able to shapeshift into anything Shinji desires. Ekitetsumaru can become a wall, a hand, or anything not spanning more than 7 square meters worth of metal. This increases by 2 square meters per tier bought.
Ekitetsumaru cannot split itself when attacking. It always stays in one piece. Being being 50% heavier than your normal iron, it requires a lot reiatsu to be levitated off the ground. When Shinji pumps his reiatsu into it, it become controllable by the shinigami. It acts without Shinji having to swing it physically around. It moves through spirit force manipulation.
Ekitetsumaru can lift Shinji up into the air, though this takes up more reiatsu than normal. The higher the altitude, more reiatsu is consumed. Max height is 200 meters above ground. This increases by 10 for every tier bought.
- Levitate (by itself, without anything on it): 10% max reiatsu per post
- Levitate (carrying a person, things, etc.): 10%+0.1% max reiatsu per post
- Attack: 5% max reiatsu(slow, 5kph)/per post, +1%max reiatsu/per post for every +1 kph added to speed of attack
- Defend: 8% max reiatsu(slow, 5kph) +1%max reiatsu for every +1 kph added to speed for defending.
- Change form: 3% max reiatsu(instant
- Per kidō tier bought: -1% reiatsu cost to a maximum of half of original cost
NOTE: Shinji can control Seisokui Suigin even if its out of sight for he controls it via reiatsu. However, the accuracy of actions made during those times is the same as that of a blind person trying to hit a running man with a needle.
Seirei Sanmai (Spirit Absorption)
Absorbs a small amount of Spirit energy from the environment and the targets it hits all the time to make up for the huge cost of reiatsu to release it. Seirei Sanmai absorbs the same amount of spirit energy <-5% max reiatsu from a enemy of one kidō tier level lower than me, -4% max reiatsu for an enemy equal to my level and 3% to a person one kidō tier higher, 2% to a person more than 1 kidō tier higher> per hit and is used immediately to replenish the lost energy or used in techniques such as Ryuudosha or Seisokui Suigin.
Ryuudosha
Turns into a blue metallic oriental dragon 1 meter wide, 7 meters long and attacks opponents by biting them with its fangs. Costs a very large amount of reiatsu and stamina to use. It deals large amount of damage.
Strengths
- Deals heavy damage
- Easily shifts from offense to defense
Weaknesses
- Cost a lot reiatsu to use and release
- Quite slow, speeding it up costs a lot of additional reiatsu.
Bankai
Hidoi Unabara , Ekitetsumaru (Terrible Ocean, Liquid Metal Warrior)
The blade does not change in shape, except that is now is 14 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 7 inches thick.
Bankai Abilities
Yancha Numa
When Hidoi Unabara Ekitetsumaru is called, Yancha Numa is activated and the blade melts into a 30 cubic meter giant lake of liquid blue metal surrounding Shinji, with the shinigami on top of it. Ekitetsumaru then becomes a controllable lake of metal. It engulfs its targets and may also crush them to death by a simple hand gestures. In addition, it also absorbs some of the opponent’s reiatsu. Ekitetsumaru can become a wall, a hand, or anything not spanning more than 30 cubic meters worth of metal. This increases by 4 cubic meters per kidō tier bought.
Ekitetsumaru can now split itself when attacking. It does not always have to stay in one piece. Being 75% heavier than your normal iron, it requires a lot reiatsu to be levitated off the ground. When Shinji pumps his reiatsu into it, it becomes controllable by the shinigami. It acts without Shinji having to swing it physically around. It moves through spirit force manipulation.
Ekitetsumaru can lift Shinji up into the air, though this takes up more reiatsu than normal. The higher the altitude, more reiatsu is consumed. Max height is 200 meters above ground. This increases by 10 for every tier bought
NOTE:
Shinji can control Yancha Numa even if it’s out of sight for he controls it via reiatsu. However, the accuracy of such actions is greatly hindered.
Yamata no Orochi
For this to be attained, Yancha Numa must be activated. It turns Ekitetsumaru into an eight headed metallic dragon, each 10 meters long and 1 meter wide.
Strengths

- Easily shifts from offense to defense
Weaknesses
- Cost a lot of reiatsu to use and release:
Bankai Stamina: base 10 post cycles, increasing by one post cycle for each level of kidō tier bought.
