Stamina: Superhuman, can continue fighting while sustaining injuries

Range: Extended Melee Range with her sword, Hundreds of Meters when using her Zanpakutō's abilities and Kidō

Standard Equipment: Her Zanpakutō, Sode no Shirayuki

Intelligence: Rukia has repeatedly demonstrated her keen intellect. She compensated against the power of the 9th Espada with combination attacks. During her forced stay in the Human World after losing her powers, Rukia proved herself very useful in assisting Ichigo with his new Shinigami duties. Rukia is very knowledgeable, with a detailed knowledge of Soul Society's history. Having long been considered to be on par with a Division Lieutenant, Rukia is also an expert swordswoman and Shunpo practitioner. She is especially noted for her proficiency in the use of Kido, which proved invaluable in her fight against the 9th Espada.

Weaknesses: The amount of time she can use her Bankai appears severely limited, as prolonged use can potentially cause her damage, so she must thaw slowly when leaving this state, otherwise she would risk damaging herself

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Shunpo: A Shinigami movement technique which allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. As speed is the main factor of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.

Shikai: The initial release to a Shinigami's Zanpakutō. It is activated by a command while declaring the name of the Zanpakutō Spirit. It changes the shape of the Zanpakutō and/or granting special abilities.

  • Some no mai, Tsukishiro: Rukia slashes the area around her and creates an ice circle that can create a giant ice pillar that freezes whoever is trapped inside the circle.
  • Tsugi no mai, Hakuren: Rukia punctures the ground once, creating a large ice circle, similar to the first dance. She punctures the ground in front of her four times in a semi circle, aims her sword at her target, and releases a giant wave of ice that engulfs the target in ice.
  • San no mai, Shirafune: Rukia calls out the name of the dance, which allows her to gather moisture in the air to the tip of Sode no Shirayuki should her zanpakuto ever shatter in combat.
  • Ice-Rope Connection: If Rukia can't reach her sword, she can create an ice extension to connect her hand to the sword hilt, which allows her to use Sode no Shirayuki's Shikai abilities at a distance.

Bankai: The ultimate and final release to a Zanpakutō. The difference in power between Shikai and Bankai is generally around 5-10 times more powerful. Even though Bankai is the final stage of a Zanpakutō, it does not mean the Shinigami's growth ends there. A Bankai, especially one recently obtained, can evolve even further as its Shinigami gets stronger.

  • Hakka no Togame: Hakka no Togame increases the area of influence of Rukia's ability to reach the temperature of absolute zero. Upon release, a pillar of cold mist rises up into the air from where Rukia is and covers a wide area in her vicinity, freezing anyone that's caught in the AOE blast.

Kidō: Spells casted by Shinigami with strong enough Reiryoku and Reiryoku control. Kidō is divided into mainly three categories: Hadō for attacks, Bakudō for battle support, and Kaidō for healing. The spells are ranking from 1–99 with 1 being the weaker and easier spells to cast and 99 being the most powerful and difficult to cast. Skilled users can cast Kidō without the need of an incantation; however, casting without incantation does reduce the Kidō's effectiveness less than a third of its full potential.

  • Bakudō #1: Sai: The caster points towards the target and causes the target's hands to lock behind themselves and restrict their movements.
  • Bakudō #4: Hainawa: A crackling rope of Reishi is launched towards the target which wraps around said target to immobilize them.
  • Bakudō #9: Geki: As the practitioner draws the symbols of the spell in the air, his/her entire body permeates a red energy, which engulfs the body of the target, causing complete paralysis.
  • Bakudō #61: Rikujōkōrō: Upon pointing at their target, the caster generates 6 prongs of Reiatsu that close in on the target to immobilize them in place. It restricts all movements.
  • Hadō #4: Byakurai: High-density Reiryoku is gathered on the caster's finger tip and lightning is fired towards the pointed target. The higher the Reiryoku of the caster the greater the puncturing capabilities.
  • Hadō #33: Sōkatsui: An explosive blue flame is fired from the caster's hand. A simple Hadō; however, the power of the caster is reflected in the explosion.
  • Hadō #73: Sōren Sōkatsui: A two handed Hadō #33 Sōkatsui with twice the effectiveness.
