As mentioned in my application, and listed, Hiei has a fully mastered Shunko at his disposal. But, basically, this has bought about a question.
I was about to add this to my Kido list (Even though it's a Hybrid technique, I assume it should be listed there), and I suddenly thought, how WILL Shunko work on here? With the Stat-gain on weapon types and the like, will Shunko have the same type of power up? From what we've seen, attack speed is highly increased when using it, as well as power. So, I was thinking something along the lines of this;
Shunko - Once activated, gains 10 in speed and 10 in attack. This puts it at a 20 stat point gain, higher than Shikai, but lower than Bankai (Which is personally where I see this technique fitting, because looking at some of the Bankai's we've seen, they do appear to be more powerful). With that, I was thinking that whoever has this technique (myself included) gain nothing from the Shikai release, and is unusable while in Bankai due to sheer Reiryoku drain. If used in Shikai, the stat's gained from Shikai are replaced by this. (Example: Gain 15 defense Shikai is activated. If using Shunko, lose the 15 in defense, gain 10 in strength and speed.)
Again, just a question, with my personal suggestion put in on how I -was- going to put it in my Kido list. I just wanted to clear this up before jumping to any conclusions.
Hiei.
