Zanpakuto:

Seigi no honō, a pure titanium Harpoon with a 100 foot steel barbed wire. It has an engraving on it saying "Never let go". It alights in flames as to reflect his adrenaline. The more adrenaline flowing through him, the faster and more accurate his harpoon shots become.

Shikai abilities:

• Stiches - Mitsuko's reiatsu manifests in a bright torrent of flames around himself as he carefully takes aim and shoots his harpoon, if the harpoon makes contact, Mitsuko immediately channels his fire into the barbed wire, burning the victim from the inside out rather quickly if they are below espada 7 level, otherwise it would take much longer time. If he misses however, he still channels his fire into the barbed wire and swings it around as a flamed whip.
  
  
• Last Whisper - Mitsuko closes in onto his opponent and impales him/her. Saying "Burn, Seigi no hono" Mitsuko quickly wraps the barbed wire around the impaled's waist, as it lights on fire burning the skin of his victim with intense heat. Against a much weaker opponent, the heat is intense enough to melt the target from the outside in, effectively splitting him/her in half as he pulls away from his target.

Bankai:
Seigi no hono mu! In this form the biggest change in Mitsuko's apperance is that his Harpoon is replaced with a flaming sword with a small 10 foot long barbed wire attached to it. It is often severely underestimated. In actuality Mitsuko is able to manipulate the length of the barbed wire and sword.

Bankai abilities:

• Fire shot, Impale - Mitsuko impales the ground with his sword as the ground becomes ablaze and lava like in appearance. Mitsuko then hold his ground as he uses his barbed wire to defend for attacks from above, the barbed wire, able to shoot fire balls at Mitsuko's will.
  
  
• Fire shot, split - Mitsuko slashes at his opponent, sending a wave of fire at them. (Similar to getsuga tensho in appreance)
  
  
• Fire shot, Stitch storm - As fire balls are fired from his Fire shot, Impale, Mitsuko can, at will, detonate the fireballs into 15 medium-sized needles that scatter in all directions. (limit of 3 fireball detonation at once)

Other abilities:

• Nijū Eishō (二重詠唱, "Twofold Incantation"): a class of Kidō Incantation where the Kidō practitioner mixes the incantations of two entirely separate Kidō spells together to save time and confuse ones' opponent at the same time.
  
  
• Kōjutsu Eishō (後述詠唱, "Spoken-After Incantation"): a class of Kidō Incantation where the incantation is recited after initiating the spell in order to power it up.
  
  
• Senka (閃花, Flash Blossom): A special Shunpo technique where one moves behind the opponent to directly attack and seal one's "Saketsu (鎖結, Chain Binding)" and "Hakusui (鎖結, Soul Sleep)" in two rapid attacks. The movement is so fast that an opponent may not be able to tell whether he was attacked from the front or the back and even an outside observer may find it impossible to tell what the movements are.
  
  
• Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihō (隠密歩法　四楓の参, Onmitsu Shunpo Shihō no San): Utsusemi (空蝉, Cicada, referencing their molting): It allows for a movement at great speed leaving an afterimage behind. The afterimage may even appear to have taken damage.
