Senkei: KyuubiTaishou OkibiTenshu

The first which splits Seireitou's KyuubiTaishou into complete swords that form four rows around Seireitou and his opponent in a column-like array. While Seireitou can control these swords as he does his regular blades, he usually attacks with just one in hand. Seireitou claims that the purpose of the Senkei is not to attack from all sides but rather to concentrate his power into fewer blades. It seems to take fewer blows from a Senkei blade to exhaust Haizo than the multiple cuts from the unfocused Bankai. The Senkei also seems to cage himself with his enemy, allowing neither combatant to move very far from each other. After immobilizing an opponent, he can call in the other blades to hit them while they're trapped. It is extremely rare for him to use this ability, doing so only when he has sworn to cut down the opponent. Hikaru Kurosaki was the second being to ever witness the ability. It was also seen that Senkei can be used as a powerful shield, blocking several Cero blasts from Byakko at once.
