If the ash were to attack the opponent in single particles, the damage would be little to none. The main attack strength of Haineko comes from how much ash makes contact, thus why it is clumped together. So evidently, Haineko is very hard to fight against in this form. Rangiku controls the ash to attack from any direction as soon as she moves the hilt, ultimately enveloping and tearing up the enemy. Though in this form it takes on the look of scattered ash, each particle is a tiny blade. With simple hand gestures and a thought she can control where the ash goes as well as make it take various forms. All the ash that surrounds her opponent(s) might as well be her sword. Shikai Special Ability: In its Shikai, Haineko's blade turns to ash, and with a flick of the hilt, Rangiku can cut anywhere the ash has landed on. Shikai: Its release command is 'Growl'.Rangiku keeps Haineko behind her clipped onto her waist obi. The tsuba is in the shape of a cat's head, with two triangles on the top half curving into ear-points, and the bottom half tapering down into a single point. Haineko (Japanese 'Ash Cat'): The Zanpakuto's form is that of a straight-bladed katana. Ikkaku has noted that she should hold back more on her strikes, as she tends to knock out the target. During various missions to the Human World while in a Gigai, she would use well-coordinated kicks and punches on people with perverted advances. Hakuda Practitioner: While mainly using her ZanpakutР•РЊ in actual combat, Rangiku has, on various occasions showed some noticeable skill unarmed. Her spiritual power is white.Р”В®xpert Tactician: Rangiku has proven to be quite intelligent when she needs to be, such as in her battle with Nakeem, whom she fooled into believing that she was unconscious in order to request that the limiters be removed more easily, as well as in her battle with Harribel's FracciР“С–n, where she caused them to argue with one another as she attempted to defeat them with one concentrated attack. She has manifested her Reiatsu and successfully intimidated both Chad and Noba. High Reiatsu: Being a lieutenant of the Gotei 13, Rangiku boasts a high level of spiritual energy. She has taken a direct hit from Ayon, resulting in the loss of the entire right side of her abdomen and survived. She was able to hold her own in a fight against three Espada's FracciР“С–n.Р”В®nhanced Durability: Rangiku has been shown to have a high level of durability.

During her battle against Nakeem Grindina, she was easily able to hold back the Arrancar's large stomping foot with a single hand and his fist with her forearm, the former while her limiter was still active.Р”В®nhanced Endurance: Rangiku has been shown to have a high level of endurance. Rangiku can also use HadР•РЊ #31.Р”В®nhanced Strength: Despite her highly feminine appearance, Rangiku has shown herself to be deceptively strong. Though she is not a common user of this art, she is able to use BakudР•РЊ #77 without incantation. Kido Expert: As a lieutenant, Rangiku has a enough of an understanding of KidР•РЊ spells to identify them upon sight. Her skill has proven great enough to easily out-maneuver an Arrancar capable of fighting at lieutenant-level skill. Shunpo: While Rangiku's true skill in Shunpo is unknown, she is skillful enough to keep up with her captain. Through sheer imagination in conjunction with her ZanpakutР•РЊ's special ability, Rangiku has become skilled at taking on large groups at once. While she can obviously hold her own in a fight, her skill in the wielding of her ZanpakutР•РЊ comes from her mastery of its special ability. Rangiku and Yoruichi do not know each other that well, though they both teased Ben on separate occasions.Flight: Like all shinigamiР’В and arrancar, Rangiku is able to fly, or more specifically, levitate in the air.Р”В®xpert Swordsman: Rangiku shows a great deal of proficiency in wielding her ZanpakutР•РЊ.
