Reiryoku Absorption
CharacterReiryoku Absorption is an anime-only technique used by the Toju Kirikaze. The unofficial name describes how the mist-formed spirit drains the spiritual energy of other rogue Zanpakuto to grow stronger.
Overview
Reiryoku Absorption is a fan-named, anime-exclusive power belonging to the Toju Kirikaze, a Zanpakuto spirit that has cut ties with its wielder. It defines the way Kirikaze feeds on the spiritual energy of others of his kind.
Mechanics
While in his mist state, Kirikaze wraps himself around another Toju, seeps into its body, and siphons off its Reiryoku. Each theft swells his own reserves and enlarges his frame once he reforms. For the victim it is fatal: robbed of the energy needed to exist, they collapse back into sword form. The drain is potent enough to override even the absorbing power of Ruri'iro Kujaku.
