Jinnai Dōko
CharacterJinnai Dōko is one of Gyōkaku Kumoi's assassins in the anime-only Kasumiōji conspiracy, a laughing, unhinged Bakkōtō wielder who joins the hunt for the young heir Rurichiyo Kasumiōji and ends up clashing with Rukia Kuchiki before his own weapon consumes him.
Appearance
Jinnai has an odd, off-putting look shared with his fellow assassins: pink skin, a bald crown, and wide-spaced, squared teeth. What little hair he keeps elsewhere is blonde. When he fuses with his Bakkōtō, his skin turns jagged.
Personality
He comes across as unhinged, punctuating his attacks with wild laughter. Combat delights him, and he takes special pleasure in catching opponents off guard, as when he bursts out of the ice Rukia freezes him in.

Abilities
Jinnai fights with the Bakkōtō Retsurai, a single-edged scythe with a chain trailing from the handle that lets him fling the weapon much like Shūhei Hisagi's Shikai. Devouring pieces of the blade toughens his skin and causes blades to sprout from his back, which he can fire at will, gaining more of them the more of the weapon he consumes. That appetite for power ultimately kills him: unable to keep the Bakkōtō under control, he dies while trying to strengthen himself further, after which Nukui's men snatch up his weapon before Rukia can reach it.
