Abilities

Should a Shinigami come into contact with those tentacles, their Zanpakutō is destroyed on the spot. Stripping an enemy of their sword this way allows Metastacia to bring down opponents stronger than himself.

History

The ability carries a heavy restriction: it can only be used a single time each night. Because of that limit, Metastacia relies on it as a decisive opening move rather than a repeatable weapon.
