The first stage of Shunsui Kyoraku’s Bankai is called Tameraikizu no Wakachiai (互め傷の分かち合, Sharing of Mutual Wounds) now it is known as Katen Kyokotsu: Karamatsu Shinjū.
Explanation:
Injuries Reversed: Shunsui and his opponent share every injury they both have received, irrespective of which of the two caused the injury.
Pain sharing: It leads to a situation in which both of the combatants are corporeal witnesses to identical wounds being delivered to them, on both.
Stage Implications: This is however seriously dangerous,Shunsui needs to have the opponent consider their strategy thus having this where a fighter gets attacked is dangerously worrying. Overly impulsive movement runs the risk of retaliation.
Essential Elements:
Leveling: Tameraikizu no Wakachiai to a great extent limits individual performance of combatants as no one has the luxury of inflicting physical attacks that would potentially give them the upperhand during combat.
Psychological Warfare: This stage also tends to cut deep into the psyche of the fighters as there is always a history in of all the consequences of the actions that both of them are to take.
The first stage of Shunsui’s Bankai logically speaking makes the combat zone one of pain replication this is so because every assault opens the attacker up to harm from themselves.

3rd Dan: Drowning in the abyss [shunsui’s bankai]

These are the steps involved:
Drowning Sensation: This act creates the feeling of drowning for the opponent. The surroundings start to warp, and the individual experiences being dragged deeper, deeper into a limiting darkness.
Reiatsu Drain: The foremost effect here is the opponent experiencing an extreme deficit of Reiatsu instantaneously. This has a weakening, and vulnerable impact on the opponent, making even the smallest of moves difficult such as maintaining balance.
Endurance Test: “Dangyō no Fuchi” turns into virtually an endurance competition. The opponent has to overpower the crushing force and the deficit shift of their Reiatsu to are able to win.
Key Points:
Psychological Impact: The sensation of water drowning plays a vital role on the mental aspect, causing eliciting feelings of fear and anxiety.

Here’s what we know about it:
- A String of Fate: Shunsui creates an invisible string of Reiatsu that connects to his opponent’s throat.
- The Throat Cut: This string then acts like a razor-sharp thread, instantly severing the opponent’s throat.
- Reiatsu Explosion: The severed throat causes the opponent’s Reiatsu to violently erupt from within, effectively destroying them from the inside out.
Key Points:
- Instantaneous Kill: This stage is designed to be an instant, unavoidable kill.
- Unseen Threat: The string is invisible, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against.
- Overwhelming Power: This stage demonstrates the sheer destructive potential of Shunsui’s Bankai.
Note: Due to the nature of this stage, Shunsui rarely uses it, as it would likely cause significant collateral damage.
