Power Limiter: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

* ''[[Bleach]]'' has several examples. Shinigami aren't allowed to release their swords into either shikai or bankai without permission. This applies to both Soul Society and the living world. The damage they can wreak is too much to contemplate without power limiters. As a result, they also have a further limit on their power. To protect humans in the living world, shinigami of captain and vice-captain ranks have to wear a limiter that reduces their power by 80% in the form of a tattoo of their division's symbolic flower. They again can't release this without express permission.

** [[Ax Crazy|Kenpachi]] normally wears a parasitic [[Eyepatch of Power|eyepatch]] that was specially designed to [[Energy Absorption|guzzle some of his energy]]. This limits the amount of energy he can use in battle to [[Blood Knight|prevent him]] from dispatching his opponents too fast. He wears it on purpose in order to make his fights more challenging.

** When Ichigo first encounters the true form of [[Petal Power|Senbonzakura]], [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Senkei]], he realises that being [[Death in All Directions|surrounded on all sides]] by thousands of swords puts him in a very bad position. Byakuya [[Flechette Storm|guesses what he's thinking]] and tells him not to be concerned. Apparently Byakuya once made a [[Pillars of Moral Character|vow]] to only ever use Senkei on someone he intended to kill [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|with his own two hands]]. As a result, he can't maximise the [[Storm of Blades|potential]] of his bankai's [[Death By a Thousand Cuts|thousands of swords]] because he can only wield the blades [[Honor Before Reason|one or two at a time]] from the palms of his hands.

** Ikkaku possesses bankai but hides it. Even when he finally enters bankai, he doesn't power straight into its full form the way other bankai-wielding shinigami do. He first has to re-engage the fight with the active, but weakly powered, bankai until he makes a first cut. Once his bankai has made a cut in the opponent, the bankai begins to wake up. Once the dragon crest on the highest blade turns fully red, Ikkaku is finally allowed access to the proper power level of a bankai.

** Findor Carias' mask. He becomes more powerful the more he chips it away, and can apparently match his power to that of certain Shinigami ranks, although Hisagi points out that he underestimate's a captain's strength.
