Hirako Shinji [AL]

Name: Sakasa Seken [Inverted World]
Class: Release
Tier: II
Type: Passive (Illusion)
Range: 200m
Description: Upon release, Sakanade releases a faint pink mist with a pleasant aroma into the air, which can be spread further (reaching the furthest reaches of the techniques range in hardly a moment) by spinning the Zanpakuto's blade in the air. Anyone who smells the mist's scent, with the exception of those Shinji chooses to exclude himself, are brought into his Inverted World. In his illusory world, all directions are reversed; left and right, up and down, front and back are all reversed in terms of eyesight, Reiatsu senses, direction of incoming attacks, location of other people or objects in the world, and injury locations. As such, Shinji boasts that it is nearly impossible for even the brightest minds to overcome their combat instincts in such a way that countering this illusion is made possible, describing it as a trump card based on the trained instincts engraved in the minds of all fighters experienced and inexperienced alike.

Name: Memai [Vertigo]
Class: Release
Tier: IV
Type: Illusion/Offensive
Range: 50m
Description: Another more recently-trained ability allows Shinji to suddenly increase the effects of Sakasa Seken on a selected target that has succumbed to the illusion. Once chosen, the target will experience a strong sense of vertigo, decreasing their sense of balance and reaction time as well as scrambling their vision as if everything was spinning and bending out of shape. This effect may be kept going for up to six posts.

Name: Souinai Sakasa Seken [Absolute Inverted World]
Class: Release
Tier: III
Type: Passive (Illusion)
Range: 200m
Description: Upon release of Shinji's Bankai, anyone already captured in his Inverted World will remain as such, and as well anyone not made an exception by Shinji himself who sees or hears the release of the Bankai will also become trapped in the illusion. All of the milder effects of his Shikai will remain in effect, including all levels of the directional disorientation (eyesight, Reiatsu senses, direction of movement, location of people/objects, injury locations, etc. being reversed) as described in Sakasa Seken in his Shikai. This level of the passive illusion also brings about a sense of vertigo in victims of the illusion, causing them to feel dizzy and lose some sense of balance, though it is not quite as strong as Memai in its Shikai form.

Name: Sakasa Baisuto [Inverted Double-Strike]
Class: Release
Tier: III
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Description: This technique heavily interplays with Souinai Sakasa Seken. This technique momentarily breaks the boundaries between illusion and reality, creating a simultaneous attack with a real attack played out on someone under Sakasa Seken's effects. When an attack reaches an affected person under the normal Sakasa Seken's effect, the effect displaces the target's senses of sight and hearing so that they may not perceive with sight or sound where the attack is truly coming from. This technique alters this form of the effect, though, so that while the real attack, unable to be seen or heard properly by the target, goes through, another parallel attack in an identical form to the original attack is created from the direction in which the target would see the illusion performing the attack, though this second attack is limited to Tier III in strength. This theoretically eliminates one of very few ways to counter the original Sakasa Seken's effect.

Name: Taoreru [to fall]
Class: Release
Tier: VII
Type: Illusion/Offensive
Range: 25m
Description: This technique acts as a much more debilitating version of Sakanade's Memai technique, though it doesn't last for as long. While in its spherical cage formation, upon command, the circles in each blade of Sakanade Souinai open, releasing a rough, dust-like material to be circulated within the cage. Those who breath in even a single grain of this dust while already under the effects of Souinai Sakasa Seken will succumb to this technique's effects, causing extreme vertigo to the extent that the victim should not even be able to continue to stand upright, and completely scrambling their vision. The dust may be released and remain indefinitely, though the effects of it can only last for up to three posts for each "batch" of victims (victims must be affected in the same post, triggering the same duration and, thus, the same cooldown together; anyone who breathes in the dust after the effect has already been activated on someone is immune until the cooldown runs out).
