It is the fully released form of a Bankai whose power manifests as making imaginary actions, such as games or stories real. There are four “acts” to the Bankai: Act 1: Tameraikizu no Wakachiai, This act manifests as a sharing of wounds. Any wound inflicted to the opponent also appears on the body of the inflicter. Act 2: Zanki no Shitone, This act manifests as hundreds of large black spots appearing on the opponent(s?) that Shunsui is fighting, which bleed incessantly. Act 3: Dangyo no Fuchi, When this act is activated, the field becomes instantly full of water, similar to a deep ocean. This act constantly drains the reiatsu from all within it, including Shunsui, and the one who runs out first dies. Act 4; Itokiribasami Chisome no Nodobue, The final act starts when Shunsui sheathes his sword. He manifests a white thread in one hand, and proceeds to wrap it several times around the throat of his opponent, causing a large gash. This thread then explodes, severing the neck and destroying the head. His Katen Kyōkotsu's Shikai ability allows Shunsui to bring children's games to life. Anyone in Katen Kyōkotsu's area of effect upon release, including Shunsui, becomes a player in the game and is subject to its rules. Rules vary from game to game, but all are played with the understanding that "You win, you live. You lose, you die." One of them are Bushōgoma, it emulates a spinning top game that sees Shunsui rotate at high velocities whilst wielding his twin scimitars. This attack can deal damage, disorient and trap those that get caught in the high pressure vortexes created by Shunsui's rotation. Another one is Daruma San ga Koronda is essentially a game of red-light green-light; Shunsui designates an opponent as "it" and must travel along the path of their attack's Reiatsu to "tag" them without being caught. Another one is Takaoni boosts the attack power of the person that is literally higher than the other. Another one is Irooni sees combatants declare a color, both only allowed to strike areas on each other's person that contain said color. Damage is buffed or nerfed based on how much of the declared color is on the declarer's person. This rule is a double-edged sword, as in order to deal optimal damage the declarer must choose a color that is amply on their person, meaning that they themselves are also susceptible to heavy damage In Kageoni the loser is whoever's shadow is stepped on, a game that allows Shunsui to deal damage by attacking the shadow of an enemy or any shadow they are standing on. He does so by maneuvering through a pocket dimension created in the shadow he's attacking from, granting him multiple angles of approach at speeds that make it appear as if he has cloned himself. Kageokuri creates a clone of whoever's shadow is stared at, with the clone's strength proportionate to that of the onlooker's Reiatsu.
