Class: swordsman
Appreance:
Personality: Soifon is staunchly loyal, firm, and unbending in her beliefs. She is a
hard worker and takes a strong moral stance — she particularly believes
in following orders. She is generally reserved and truly not arrogant
in any manner like her lieutenant. She will not hesitate in the
slightest to strike down even her subordinates if they stand in her
way. She chooses to ignore all her subordinates, including her
lieutenant Ōmaeda, believing that personal struggle builds character.
Attacks: Shunkō An advanced technique that combines
hand-to-hand combat and Kidō. She fights by surrounding her back and
arms with pressurized Kidō. The keisen uniform has no back or sleeves
because they will rip apart when the technique is activated. What is
known of it so far is that it can allow her to instantly neutralize an
opponent's movement. Soifon's version of the technique is new to her
and incomplete, its use of compressed Kidō is not visibly seen
Suzumebachi : In its sealed form, it resembles a
wakizashi with a yellow hilt reminiscent of a Chinese
dao. It is kept sheathed horizontally behind Soifon's lower back hanging by a rope.
Suzumebachi's Shikai.
- Shikai: triggered by the command "Sting all Enemies to Death".
Grasping onto Suzumebachi with her right hand, the entire sword will
glow white and shrink in size. When the emitted glow dies off, it is
revealed that Suzumebachi has now taken on the form of an accessory.
Covering Soifon's right wrist is a gold gauntlet with a small chain
linking to a large, thick "stinger" on Soifon's middle finger. The
cone-like shaped "stinger" extends at a length about twice as far as
the normal extension of the finger, allowing Soifon’s striking distance
to increase slightly. Ornately decorated in gold and black, the Shikai
is fitting of its name, as the pattern and shapes resemble that of a
hornet.
In this form, Suzumebachi is still capable of holding its own against a
opponents sword attacks, blocking with the "stinger" as well as
striking and even blocking incoming attacks with the gauntlet portion.
Shikai Special Ability: Totally integrated into her natural abilities with Flash Steps, Suzumebachi’s abilities indeed prove deadly.
- Nigeki Kessatsu As its first step, Soifon stabs her enemy with Suzumebachi’s blade. Not
only leaving a rather deep wound, the attack leaves a butterfly-shaped
stamp on the user’s body. Spreading from the center of the wound, known
as Hōmonka , this stamp becomes the
target of Soifon’s second attack. If struck in this same spot that was
hit the first time, the person will inevitably die and thus illustrate
"Death in Two Steps."The crests are maintained by Soifon's will and are impossible to remove
unless she wills it; when Yoruichi was still running the Onmitsukidō,
Soifon could only maintain the crests for half an hour.The effect of the poisons reaction time takes slightly longer for those who have enhanced power.Soifon explains at one point that the mechanics behind the ability are
not based on being hit on the same spot on the skin, but rather when
Suzumebachi pierces the exact same spot internally from any side of the
body. This shows that Suzumebachi's ability takes effect not through
point of entry but rather point of actual surface contact.
It is revealed that this ability works by use of a poison, when entered
into a system it completely spreads in a matter of minutes, if not
seconds leaving no trace of a body behind.
- Counter-Poison: Suzumebachi's Nigeki kessatsu
ability is caused by a type of venom it secretes, which acts as a
counter-poison, if she stabs herself with it.
Jakuhō Raikōben - Soifon's Bankai.
- Bankai: Jakuhō Raikōben :
Its appearance is that of a protective armor that encases Soifon's
entire right arm and comes all the way above her shoulder to form a
face shield that she uses to cover the right side of her face.The casing comes off and reveals a weapon with the similar make of a missile attached to a base.Before she activated her Bankai, Soifon wrapped a heavy metal sash (Ginjōhan) around the building she stood on,
in preparation for the attack's massive recoil and the resulting
powerful explosion. She uses her Bankai so rarely that it has remained
largely unseen by the members of Soul Society; even her own Lieutenant
comments on having never seen it before, Soifon explains that she would prefer not to use her Bankai. She believes that it offends her pride as a Covert Ops agent, as "It's too large to hide, too heavy to move, and its attack is too flashy for assassination."

Bankai Special Ability: Being a ranged weapon of
the artillery sort, Jakuhō Raikōben has the ability to launch the
missile attached to its base. To do so, Soifon must first raise and aim
the huge missile, using the slits present in her face guard to be able
to see while doing so. Once targeted, small fins extend from numerous
points along the missile, before it is fired.After a successful hit, the missile creates a powerful and massive explosion.
The burst of explosive energy after the detonation is powerful enough
to not only blow away Soifon and her lieutenant, but also rip the steel
sash she was tied with, despite both of them being a long distance away
from the explosion Soifon is capable of firing more than one missile at the same level of power.This attack has a normal limit of firing no more than one missile every three days, doing so more often taxes her noticeably.
Kidō Expert:
As Captain of the 2nd Division and the Commander-in-Chief of the
Onmitsukidō Soifon is well versed in art of Kidō, though she prefers to
use Shunpo and hand-to-hand fighting techniques. She is experienced
enough that she is able to mix it with other hand-to-hand combat
techniques
Hado and bakkudo:
Bakkudo 1 sai: Locks target´s arms behind his back
Bakkudo 4 Hainawa: A yellow energy rope can tie an object or an enemy
Hado 33 Soukatsui: Fires a powerful lightning blast
Bakkudo 9 Geki: Engulfs the target in red light, completely paralyzing them.
Hado 4 Byakurai:The user fires a concentrated, powerful lightning bolt from their finger.
Hado 31 Shukkahou:Fires a ball of red energy at a target.
Bakkudo 61 Six rods of light prison:Summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's
midsection, holding them in place. The target is then unable to move
any part of their body including the parts that were not struck by the
beams
Bakkudo 77: Tentei Kuura: Transmits messages mentally to anyone within an area of the caster's
choosing. In addition to reciting the spell, the user must draw
specific markings on their arms, which are animated by the spell to
convey the messages. The messages can be spoken either by the caster or
by another within the vicinity of the caster
Hado 63 Raikouhou: Fires a massive wave of yellow energy at a target
Abilty's: Flash Steps Master: As the leader of the Onmitsukidō, she is also required to be highly proficient in Flash Steps.
She has been shown to almost keep up with her mentor Yoruichi Shihōin,
being able to hit her once with the Nigeki Kessatsu, but not getting a
chance to do so again as Yoruichi was faster.
She actively uses her mastery of Shunpō techniques and is highly
proficient in evasion in close quarters as well as from a distance.
Thus making hitting her almost impossible if not for the most advanced
combatant. Her movements are noticeably so fast that few would be
likely to see an attack take place.
Items/Weapons: Zanpakuto, Ginjōhan : A steel sash worn
under armor, its contributing weight makes it harder for the wearer to
move fast. The tremendous recoil produced by using her Bankai requires
that Soifon be anchored to a nearby stationary object via this
cloth-like material.
