Description

Arekuruukaze: Ravenous Wind.

This Wind-based Zanpakutou is said to be the most eloquent and bizarre Air-type in Seireitei. It grants Keino Yatsumuri limited control of the air around him, allowing him to manipulate it at will.

Sealed: In its sealed form, Arekuruukaze is a simple Katana. Four feet long overall, the only noticeable thing is its gold-colored hilt and circle cross-guard.

Released: "Hitofuki, Arekuruukaze!" *Gust, Ravenous Winds!*
To unseal this Zanpakutou, Yatsumuri runs his hand down the flat side of the blade, chanting the release phrase, as his hand passes over the blade, it transforms into the 5-foot long fan. Gripping the base and keeping the weapon close via metal circlet, Yatsumuri can open and close the fan to unleash powerful attacks.

*Atemi Sakini, Arekuruukaze!: Blow them away, Ravenous Winds!
This attack starts by a quick flourish of the fan by Yatsumuri, he releases a condensed arc of air and reiatsu capable of inflicting deep wounds.
*Kashaku, Arekuruukaze!: Torture them, Ravenous Winds!
Yatsumuri sweeps the fan in one, gigantic motion, generating a vortex of air around the opponent. This vortex sucks blood out of open wounds on the target's body, resulting in paralysis and severe pain.

Bankai. "Bakuha ka maku ue ichijin. Bankai. Futamaguufu, Arekuruukaze." Explode and soar upon the winds. Bankai. Deadly Hurricane, Ravenous Winds.

After chanting the release phrase, Yatsumuri is engulfed in a vortex of wind, similar to a tornado. Once this dies down, Yatsumuri has transformed, somewhat. he is now wearing the tattered remains of the Samurai Armor he wore during his time alive, complete with top-knot. Arekuruukaze, now referred to as Futamegufuu, has become a large Shaolin Spade. The horse-hair is dyed blue.

Dansu Futamegufuu: Dance, Deadly Hurricane
Yatsumuri strikes with Futamegufuu in rapid succession. At the apex of each strike, a concussive blast of Reiatsu is released, packing the punch of a #40 Desctructive Kidoh. Depending on Yatsumuri's level of fatigue, Dansu Futamegufuu can be used in succession between four and six times.

Sei no Wakuwaku: Make Them Tremble, Deadly Hurricane
Atemi Sakini's true spiritual successor, Yatsumuri flourishes Futamegufuu twice before firing a powerful stream of reiatsu. The stream of reiatsu is a blueish-purple color. Depending on how many times Yatsumuri flourishes his weapon determines how long the beam lasts. With two swings, the beam lasts for about 4 seconds. Each additional swing adds on another second to the beam's lifespan. Works best when fired from above Yatsumuri's opponent.
