Patros

Patros's powers and abilities

Expert Swordsman: While not an Espada, Patros is a proficient fighter, able to overpower lieutenant-level Shinigami like Renji. His swordsmanship is very fast and precise. With each swing, he leaves little time for his opponents to react.

Hand-to-Hand Combatant: As his swordsmanship is more suited for mid-range combat, Patros would use his fists more often in close-range combat. During his initial scuffle with Renji, he was able to fight on even grounds with him despite his opponent wielding a sword.[1]

High Spiritual Power: Patros has respectably high spiritual energy, enough to intimidate Renji and make the Urahara Shop employees take cover in the shop to avoid his spiritual pressure. His Reiatsu is yellow.

Hierro: Patros' skin was strong enough to punch away Renji's Shikai, albeit it left some minor damage afterward.

Enhanced Strength: Patros was deceptively strong, able to easily catch Renji's Shikai barehanded.

Sonído: Patros used Sonído when he attacked the fake Ulquiorra in Las Noches, when he arrived at Urahara's shop, and during his battle with Renji.[1][2]

Zanpakutō

Gerifalte (ヘリファルテ, Herifarute; Spanish for "Gyrfalcon"): Patros' Zanpakutō takes the form of a normal katana with a diamond-shaped guard when sealed. The sheath and grip are yellow.

Energy Blasts: Patros' Zanpakutō is not used like a normal sword in combat; instead of attacking with it, Patros can fire energy blasts from long range by quickly drawing and resheathing the sword in a style reminiscent of iaidō. The attack has twenty different levels to it, each stronger than the last.[1] The weakness of the technique lies in how it is performed: in order to build up the energy, Patros must sheathe the sword. If he is prevented from doing so, the technique is rendered useless.[2]

Resurrección: Gerifalte's released form, activated by the command "Pollute" (汚れよ, kegareyo; "Defile" in the English dub), covers Patros' upper body in armor and grows his mask over all but the upper-right side of his head. It also transforms his right arm into a hinge-like copy of his sealed Zanpakutō. His left arm, while appearing the same, opens at the middle to generate yellowish energy blasts. His right arm can fire what sounds like a Cero, but, much like his left arm, must open up at the middle in order to unleash it. Patros can also use both arms to fire a sweeping energy blast.[2]

Resurrección Special Ability: When he shouts "Burst Forth" (弾けよ, hajikeyo; "Burst" in the English dub), his left arm opens in the same manner as his normal attacks, except that it releases a larger explosion of spirit energy.[2] Presumably, his right arm can do something similar.

Enhanced Spiritual Power: His Spiritual Power increases further, as his blasts are stronger than they were in his sealed form. His blasts are strong enough to push back Hihiō Zabimaru with great force, and injure Renji while he is using his Bankai.
