- "Hmph. And you wonder why Zane doesn't like you."
- —Shinikage on Sora's impudence
Shinikage is Zane Koroshiya's Zanpakutō spirit in Kingdom Hearts: Arcana. She is the result of Zane's darkness being split from his heart and merged with his future Zanpakutō.
Appearance[]
Shinikage bears a striking resemblance to Larxene; her hair, the color named "stark-silver" by maggosh, is completely slicked back, slightly messed and fanned a bit at the back, without Larxene's signature 'antennae'. She has ruby red eyes and paled skin, decent curves and bust, and medium-length finger nails brought to a point. She wears an inversely-colored shihakusho, much like those worn by the Arrancar.
Personality[]
Being born from darkness, Shinikage shares many traits with Vanitas; she is proud, cunning and cruel, and has no problem expressing her cold personality. Despite this, however, she seems to harbor some sort of a soft side in her heart; one, contrary to her ruthlessness, she prefers to keep hidden most of the time.
Powers and abilities[]
Zanpakutō[]
Shinikage (死影, Death's Shadow):
- Shikai: Its release command is Disappear (消える, Kieru). Upon release, it takes the form of a pair of fingerless dark purple gloves on Shinikage's hands.
- Shikai Special Ability: In short, Shinikage has power over darkness and shadows, and can manipulate it in a variety of different ways.
- Kage Tobari (影帷, Shadow Curtain): Allows Shinikage to hide within a shadow of any sort. She can then strike whenever she sees fit. It bears a certain resemblance to Katen Kyōkotsu's Kageoni ability.
- Kyōbō na Kage (凶暴な影, Savage Shadow): Causes the opponent's shadow to separate from its owner and gain a will of its own; Shinikage bends its will and allows it to fight alongside her.
- Dark Mimicry: Shinikage manipulates the darkness around her to change her appearance.
- Shinikage Kōken'nin (死影後見人, Death Shadow Guardian): Summons a Guardian-like entity.
- Bankai: Shinikage Hanten (死影反転, Death Shadow Inversion)
