Appearance: Kagutsuchi appears as a plain pair of katana in seemless wooden sheaths made of ebony wood. However, more often than not, Sawada carries the blades in the form of an ornate carved staff of the same wood, the story of the Fire God Kagutsuchi intricately carved into the staffs body.
Shikai: Erupt, Cut and Divide! Kagutsuchi!- Upon uttering the command, Sawada takes up a stance with crossed blades as heat shimmers swirl about him. The blades glow red as they melt, the handles falling to the ground before fading into red motes of reiryoku. The motes form in Sawada’s hand into a large gun with a stylized head as it’s barrel. The blades themselves melt, swirling about Sawada’s form until he sits in the middle of a massive saw blade of molten lava. The saw blade can be used for attacks and defense almost like a shield. The gun fires blasts of searing energy.
Cut into Eight: The saw blade can be shattered into eight pieces, moving on the direction of Sawada. However in this form, the blades cool rapidly and break when used to attack or defend harmlessly. Once used in this fashion, it takes time for a new main blade to form.
Bankai: Hinokagutsuchi- The true name and form of Kagutsuchi, Hinokagutsuchi shatters the large saw about Sawada’s body as well as the gun in his hand. The shards of both weapons fall to the ground where they melt into the earth, the points they fell erupting moments later. The lava slowly swirls about Sawada until it forms a pair of massive black saw blades. These blades drip with lava from the tips of their blade, allowing them to increase their effective reach when in combat making them difficult to counter or predict. Each blade can fire large blasts of searing energy from the holes at their center as well. Sawada can also summon two guns whilst in bankai. Along with doubling his guns and saw blade, Sawada can fire blasts from either his guns or blades into the ground, the blasts erupting in a hail of fire and molten rock under enemies as if they were standing atop a living volcano.
Inner World: The inner world of Kagutsuchi is a massive caldera that fumes and bubbles. Statues litter the bubbling lake, hands and faces breaking the water as if they were corpses being boiled alive.
Zanpakuto Spirit: Kagutsuchi appears as two young monks, both with large scars around their neck. Their true form is a massive statue of basalt stone which cracks that glow with inner light.
