Zanpakuto[]
Shiden (Violet Lightning) - Shiden's sealed form is that of an ordinary Katana. It has a dark red hilt, which is longer than most, and a black sheath. Its guard looks similar to an eye, with each side being hollow and spikes protruding from the edges. His Zanpakuto is a Lightning-Type.
- Shikai - Its' release command is "Hit Hard and Fast". When released it retains its' normal hilt and crossguard, but the sides of the blade are jagged and resemble a lightning bolt. At the end of the sword is two sharp points.
Shikai Special Ability - Shiden has the ability to manipulate and control the element of lightning.
- Shigasumi (Violet Mist)
- Shiden Raiko (Violet Lightning Thunderclap) - Shiden fires a massive bolt of lightning towards his opponents.
- Bankai: Raikudo Shiden (Black Arm Violent Lightning) - Upon Bankai activation, Shiden's Shikai remains the same, though the hilt has gained a small chain with a broken link, and the cross-guard has two longer spikes between the sword and Seigen's hand. His Shinigami attire has also changed: Though he still wears the cloak and the shihakusho, he gains two black shoulder plates with jagged, pale violet lightning edges and violet blet-like strips with a silver buckle on each plate attached to his robes, and his right-arm gains a black, metal gloved with small spikes holding his Zanpakuto.
