nobutsuna shigyō's full zanpakutō masterpost.

name: kusōkan release command: kusare (腐れ), “rot” bankai: kusōkan jindō fujōsōzu (人道不浄相図), “picture of the unclean human path”

the manifested spirit of nobutsuna's zanpakutō is, for the lack of a better world, horrifying to look at. kusōkan looks like a half-decomposed corpse of a woman in a torn hitoe that slides off her emaciated shoulders, baring her shapeless breasts, portions of green-dead skin and layers of muscle and bones underneath; there is soil in her threadlike black hair and under her sharp clawlike fingernails, her lips have cracked and blackened and some of her teeth have rotted away from her gums. her face displays traces of some mysterious lost beauty, but now it's mostly mummified once-soft tissues spread like tinfoil over her facial bones, lidless eyes flaming with terrible recognition from the dark well of her sockets. she feeds off of bits of nobutsuna's soul to fuel his shikai and bankai, but this does not affect their relationship—they get along splendidly. they like to dance across the corpse-strewn foggy wetlands of nobutsuna's inner world. if muramasa were to force kusōkan to manifest, bitch would start crying

released at the command “rot”, nobutsuna's shikai acts as a parasitic force that dries his enemies of their own reiatsu while accelerating disruption of tissues/cells. the rot in question spreads like a wave or a cloud—it can be avoided if one's fast/responsive enough, but it will chase you, and nobutsuna can control the direction, the speed and intensity of cellular decay. it works both ways; he can revert the effect of his shikai if he so wishes, by feeding kusōkan his own reiryōku instead of someone else's. while the shikai needs releasing, so it's not in a state of constant activation like ichigo's, kusōkan demands to be fed at all times. even when not actively using it, its power is always chipping away at nobutsuna's power/life force. he subjects himself to tedious medical therapy sessions in order to preserve his soul and delay the inevitable decay of it in its entirety

his bankai, jindō fujōsōzu, is the longest in the history of soul society, and it's comprised of nine stages of activation. when in bankai, kusōkan's rot does not act like a wave or a cloud; rather, it controls the battlefield by spreading over it like dust particles, making it impossible to escape it. if it's touched or inhaled, it's going to work. the stages are as follows, although yamamoto forbid nobu from using the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth since the war against the quincy. the effects are not reversible, and they are:

chōsō (脹相), “distension” — the rot settles in the body, making it bloat and expand due to generation of gasses. movements are impaired, veins and arteries may pop.

esō (壊相), “rupture” — gas expansion reaches a critical point; the skin begins to tear, the body breaks, the pain is excruciating.

kechizusō (血塗相), “exudation of blood” — the body takes further damage from the progression of the rot within, bodily fluids begin to leak through the festering cracks. usually the average enemy dies from internal bleeding or passes out from the pain at this point.

noransō (膿爛相), “putrefaction” — actual decay starts with the fourth stage. decomposition advances: movements are unthinkable, organs collapse, reiryōku spills uncontrolled, most people are reduced to a half-solid puddle at this point

shōosō (青瘀相), “discoloration and desiccation” — fluids begins to dry to the point where the victim becomes severely dehydrated, the skin becomes blueish and starts to blacken. still-conscious victims of the fifth stage feel their lungs burn and their souls shrink like a sun-dried sponge

tansō (噉相), “consumption by animals” — forbidden. nobutsuna conjures small beastlike spirits of raw spiritual power that begin to devour the victim.

sansō (散相), “dismemberment” — forbidden. once the worms are done consuming the enemy from the inside out, bigger spirits appear, tearing them from limb to limb and scattering the pieces across the battlefield. nobutsuna can use these two stages in tandem, and order the spirit to fight for him if he wills so, but he cannot summon them without letting them have a bite. it'd greatly upset kusōkan.

kotsusō (骨相), “bones” — forbidden. by accelerating the speed of rot nearly to its maximum, this stage picks the body clean until it's only bleached-white bones. does not require a prior activation of tansō and sansō, although kusōkan does not like it when he skips stages.

shosō (焼相), “parched to dust” — highly forbidden. all tissues come undone, bones turn to ash, the soul is entirely wiped out; its reishi dissolving like dust.

I imagine Emperor's body is slowly morphing from flesh to that space matter that ancient caller Moira consists of. The armour is used as a sort of shell to help him stay in a humanoid form consistently
