Steel Release: Heiligrustung

is a Steel Release technique that manipulates preexisting steel into using it as protection. This can either be done by forming it into a shield, wall, barrier, or a defensive object. However, it can also be used to create armor if there is enough steel. It can also be used to cover certain parts of the body such as the head, arms, shoulders, chest, and legs. The suer can increase or decrease the durability and weight of the armor to fit his or her needs. It is able to with stand very strong attacks for weapons and technique.

This technique can also be reversed so that the steel used to make the shield or armor can be recycled into another technique. While it takes perfect chakra control, the user can cause the helmet to form a spike and launch it forward into a nearby opponent. In this manner, the user can later the shape of his or her armor to adjust to the battle conditions. However, due to the weight and bulkiness of the armor, it can cause fatigue in the user; especially if they are using chakra to maintain it.

Trivia
