Daiei Pantressa

Daiei Pantressa (パントレサ大永, Pantressa Daiei) is an alternative form of Daiei Takeuchi that was taken away from the main timeline when he was a child within the Zaraki Orphanage run by Den Mother, thus resulting in this Daiei being from an alternative timeline. He is the oldest child of the Pantressa Family, often filling in for the matriarch if she is absent.

He serves as a major antagonist within Stained.

Powers & Abilities

 * : If not for the current Las Plagas, Daiei would easily be able to hold the position of one of the Las Plagas, but he has shown no interest in the position, resulting in him simply remaining as a candidate. Therefore, Daiei's Reiryoku-levels are on a level of their own, easily being able to overwhelm most people within all the Three Worlds. Through his exertion, he can disintegrate mere beings, substances, along with perceptions through his usage. Since he was a child, he always held the potential for greater power, being one of the main reasons why Tsara took such an interest in him.
 * : Because of his Reiatsu, Daiei had no choice in mastering his control over it. However, regardless of the potential, he has always had an affinity for its usage, which is shown in his creation of Seriyoku that is his strongest form of combat. Via his myriad of Seiryoku techniques, even if he were not using the fight style, simply by exerting his Reiatus, he is able to nullify effects that could otherwise by harmful to him. What is most frightening about his control over his Reiatsu is the recycling ability of Seiryoku, allowing him to virtually hold infinite dominion over his own Reiatsu without seeing any major losses, if any. Whenever Daiei exerts his Reiatsu, it gives off a Darkness-elemental vibe, hence its black color, if he so wills it. The Reiatsu seems to be sticky in nature, and is able to trap people inside of a "void" of its own creation that acts similarly to an Inner World.
 * Seiryoku Master: Being the creator of Seiryoku within his timeline, albeit at a different time and reason than Daiei Takeuchi, Daiei Pantressa has shown to be a master of the technique he has created. It should be noted that due to his higher Reiryoku levels than the main timeline Daiei, he can bring forth stronger and more dangerous attacks than his counterpart, where Daiei Takeuchi has commented that Daiei Pantressa may have surpassed him in Seiryoku, if not just for the Reiryoku levels the latter possesses. With his reflexes, he is able to learn new techniques on the spot, especially if it's his first time seeing them, having an innate understanding of the mechanizations behind this fighting style.


 * : Much like his alternate self, Daiei has an exemplary usage of Hakuda, being able to effortless be deemed a master over the arts. He has studied many different hand-to-hand combat types, incorporating them into his fighting style, while alternating between the different styles at the drop of a dime. Though he is not perfect in every hand-to-hand fighting style, he holds mastery over many, such as hand-to-hand combat techniques. As it is his main form of combat, the majority of Daiei's attacks revolve around the usage of Hakuda, to which has allowed him to have a severe upperhand on his opponents, especially when he is an unrelenting force against their attacks.
 * : One of Daiei's greatest assets is his Shunkō, to which he follows a lightning them for it. Despite not being his element, it can be seen that Daiei has an innate bond with the Lightning Element through his years of training, being akin to a force of nature in the form of lightning. He is able to course the lightning through his body to make his reaction time faster, his muscles larger for potency, as well as making peculiar movements that may not be seen as normal.
 * Kaminari no Seiryoku Meishunkō (雷勢力冥瞬閧, "Lightning of the Forceful Nightly Flash War Cry"): What is perhaps Daiei's greatest technique is his mixture between his two greatest assets, Shunkō and Seiryoku. Keeping the Lightning Element with his Shunkō, Daiei mixes his Darkness Element Reiryoku into his Shunkō to create Black Lightning, giving him both the property of a lightning bolt, along with the stickiness and "devour" concept of his darkness. However, he has noted that he is not a true master in this technique, and it can take a lot out of him if he does not manage himself properly, such as recycling his Reiryoku during his battles.


 * : Being a highly trained Soul, Daiei has shown to be a particularly quick individual, keeping up with many speedy beings.
 * Air Walk: Daiei has shown the ability to walk on air.


 * Abarcar: All the children of the Pantressa Family are given a Soul Fragment of their mother, Tsara Pantressa, that also comes with an innate ability to it, stemming from her own surplus of abilities. These abilities are known as Obsequio, but gain their own specific name. In Daiei's case, he gains his mother's primary ability, Abarcar (Spanish for "Encompass"). It is similar to Infinite Evolution ability, in that it allows Daiei to continue to become more and more powerful with each consumption of a being. While Daiei himself remains as a, many consider this to be his unique Hollow Ability. Interestingly enough, regardless of what it is Daiei is consuming, he does not become a member of said race, where the aforementioned race's abilities are instead added upon to Daiei's own Soul, as though the race's abilities are being converted to innate Soul racial abilities.
 * Rebirth: A special power of the fragment put into him is that it allows Tsara to revive him if he were to die. He does not immediately get sentenced to the Cycle of Reincarnation as he normally would due to this Soul Fragment, instead returning to his mother. At this point, she is able to place the Soul Fragment into things if she so wishes to.
 * : Daiei has been shown to open a Garganta via Abarcar.

Zanpakutō
In its unreleased state, Daiei's Zanpakutō does not seem to look like a normal sword. Instead, its handle seems to make an indentation that hides the user's hand from sight, it being primarily golden in color, with black splotches, along with peculiar writing adorned the end. Oddly enough, its blade seems to give off the glowing functionalities of the Mezcla created by Tsara Pantressa, constantly glowing red, with those red lines being a message of sorts that no normal beings can decipher. At the very end, there is a tiny golden spiral.

Because of its peculiar composition, it does not seem to be sharp on any of its points, but Daiei is still able to slice things with his own strength regardless of this factor.
 * Invulnerability: Peculiarly enough, even in its sealed state, Daiei gains a passive ability gifted to him by his Zanpakutō, it being invulnerability from attacks. Though they make contact with him, they do not affect them, regardless of their abilities. To bypass this ability, one must be in possession of a Duànjué to do so. However, this ability only seems to work with his real body, and not when he is in usage of a vessel.

Shikai
Meiāku (冥アーク, "Night Arc") is the name of Daiei's in its -form. It is a summoning-based -type Zanpakutō that functions off of the element of Darkness. Its release command is "Be Born" (生まれる, Umareru). Upon its release, Meiāku reveals its true form, which is that of the primordial Bàojūn, Xuánwǔ, that was forged into a Zanpakutō, acting akin to a, by Tsara Pantressa. Through this forgery, it was also given the property of a Duànjué, thus allowing Daiei to face off against Jūmín if he so pleased.

Though it may be one of the Bàojūn, its form has been altered heavily from its original form, or so Daiei states. It is unsure whether it is because of its innate Body Modification abilities, or if it was due to Tsara's doings. Regardless of this, Meiāku gifts Daiei, and itself, a surplus of abilities, especially with its infusion of a specially-made Mezcla.
 * Darkness Manipulation & Generation: The main ability of Meiāku is in its manipulation and generation of darkness, be it his own or other's. By manipulating the darkness, Daiei has shown to descend into it, disappearing from existence, and then reappearing elsewhere or in the same spot. By engulfing the land in his darkness, he is able to expand his range of abilities further. It should be noted that in darker places, such as when it's at night, this ability becomes stronger. It should also be noted that the darkness created from this, and then manipulated into its own form, gains a sticky texture, that which Daiei is able to abuse to his own means.
 * Void World: When enough of the darkness has been brought onto a target, dragging them down into darkness, their existence is slowly "devoured". Their memories, powers, movements, thoughts, everything that is part of that being is slowly devoured by the darkness of this technique. It is possible to escape by exerting Reiatsu greater than the darkness that is taking hold of you, those that hold more darkness in their heart than others are more susceptible to the technique, regardless of their Reiatsu level. Whatever ends up being devoured first passes through Daiei and then discarded into the Devour Realm if he does not deem it worth the hassle.
 * Shadow You: A technique used by stripping away the shadow of a being, either by severing it, or "scaring" it out of them by overwhelming the target's Reiryoku. The shadow then becomes animated, taking a unique form, allowing it to roam around. It holds the same capabilities of the original host of the shadow, but at a slightly lower level, with the inclusion of acting on auto-pilot, not holding the capability of greater thought. Interestingly, while the owner of the shadow only sees a shadow being, everyone else sees the shadow as the owner's appearance.
 * : Through the Mezcla infusion, Daiei and Meiāku have shown the ability to use a black-colored Cero that is bigger than normal.
 * : Similarly to the Cero, both Daiei and Meiāku can use black-colored Bala.
 * : While it is normally invulnerable to begin with, unless a Duànjué is being used, Meiāku holds the High-Speed Regeneration Hollow ability, whereas Daiei does not.
 * : Both Daiei and Meiāku have shown the ability to use Sonido in the released state. With this, Daiei is able to stack his Sonido, to which he is an Expert-level at, with his Shunpo for quicker speeds.

Bankai
Owari no Sekai (終わり世界, "End of World")

Weaknesses

 * Invulnerability Reliance: Since he has had his Zanpakuto for a long time, he has instinctively become accustomed to the invulnerability effects that it gives him. As such, he can be seen as reckless during fights that which an opponent holds an Duànjué.
 * Immortality Complex: Even if his invulnerability state is to no longer be a factor within battles, he deems himself immortal regardless because of how his Bankai functions.

Trivia

 * Daiei Pantressa uses the design of Tsumugu Kinagase from the Kill la Kill series.
 * Xuánwǔ takes its name directly from the Black Tortoise that belongs within the Chinese Four Symbols, similarly to the other Bàojūn.
