Mitsukai
From Inga no Kusari wiki
Mitsukai is Harahura Noata's Zanpakutō.
Mitsukai's form is that of a tattered old worn out tsuka (hilt) of a katana. It's wrappings are teal and it's base is a obsidian black with golden kanji inscribed on its bottom.

Spirit Description
The spirit of the blade is in fact a woman. She has a shapely form, tantamount to that of Fuerza, though with one tiny difference. Mitsukai is in the shape of a young teen of about 13 years of age though with a modest body she appears less mature than Fuerza, but looks can be deceiving. She has a mess of long white hair that reaches to her lower back. Her eyes show with a sparkling Tyrian purple.
Being a slightly shorter mirror of her Hollow doppelganger. Mitsukai's personality is odd, she's often quiet and when she does have words to say they are scolding and though caring words, wise. She's the complete opposite of Fuerza who speaks sweet nothings and occasionally words of scorn into Naota's ear. She believes in a firm hand in raising the man's spirit.
Shikai
Release Command: Naota places his left hand (holding Mitsukai's tsuka) over his heart when he feels compelled to call forth his shikai and utters the release phrase: Hikaeme, Mitsukai (Humble, Mitsukai) He then thrusts his arm away from his chest and white streak of energy follows it out where a white blade extends from the tsuka in his grasp.
The shikai is literally the same tsuka with a now normal sized katana blade extending from it of a white color rather than a silver tarnish.
Shikai Abilities
Eiatsu
When Naota grasps tightly and concentrates on his Zanpakutō, he pours his reiatsu into it and it's blade takes on a golden, shimmering tarnish. The blade becomes lighter in Naota's hands and he can swing it faster and more fluidly in this state.
Eiatsu's true effect comes into play when a field of shimmering reiatsu dampens the surrounding territory up to 100 feet in diameter with Naota at its epicenter. The effects of this field are like traveling into the Exosphere. Effectively creating a feeling as if fighting in a low-gravity space. One could gain a temporary foothold by creating a new ground on the sky using reiatsu. It is to keep a stable stance or footing on the ground or air within this dampening field. Within this field the a strong upward force can send Naota's target off the ground and for them to be able to reach the ground again it would take one second per meter (Aprox. 3 ft) to fall to the ground, gravity becomes 0.98 m/s2 rather than 9.8 m/s2. (It is easier to be knocked back/up by Naota inside this field)
Eiatsu lasts for 2 post cycles before it's affect dies off and the blade loses it's tarnish. Tenraku can only be declared after this happens. And Eiatsu cannot be called forth for 3 post cycles henceforth.
[Naota is unaffected by the field and stays grounded. This is an attribute of having contact with the Zanpakutō.]
Tenraku
Tenraku is Fuerza; his Inner-Hollow's reverse version of Eiatsu and is usually only summoned in her presence. When Naota grasps tightly and concentrates on his Zanpakutō, he empties his reiatsu from it and it's blade takes on a deep dark red, foreboding tarnish. The blade becomes quite heavy in Naota's hands and he can swing it with much force but less fluidly and much slower in this state.
Tenraku's true effect comes into play when a field of reiatsu dampens the surrounding territory up to 100 feet in diameter with Naota at its epicenter. The effect of this field is like quadrupling one's weight, slowing movement as if Earth's gravity intensified. Gravity becomes 39.2 m/s2 rather than 9.8 m/s2.
Tenraku lasts for 2 post cycles before it's affect dies off and the blade loses it's tarnish. Eiatsu can only be declared after this happens. And Tenraku cannot be called forth for 3 post cycles henceforth.
[Naota is unaffected by the field's intensified gravity. This is an attribute of having contact with the Zanpakutō.]
Strengths
Being unaffected by the fields his Zanpakutō projects puts Naota at a significant advantage; as well as the effect his reiatsu has on his blade during "Eiatsu" making for swift, fluid and effective combat. Eiatsu is highly favored because of this.
Weaknesses
Mitsukai's abilities are reiatsu driven abilities and are constantly active, thus the drain on his reiryoku reserves is much quicker than other Zanpakutō releases. Having a heavier blade when "Tenraku" is active makes swinging his Zanpakutō more tiresome and thus can lead to exhaustion far quicker. The fact that these abilities last only for a short moment makes them indispensable tools in combat to be activated wisely.
Eiatsu & Tenraku can be called upon up to 5 times collectively in one thread before Naota is exhausted and unable to call upon the techniques.
