| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Expert Swordsman | Rangiku shows a great deal of proficiency in wielding her Zanpakutō . While she can obviously hold her own in a fight , her skill in the wielding of her Zanpakutō comes from her mastery of its special ability . Through sheer imagination in conjunction with her Zanpakutō's special ability , Rangiku has become skilled at taking on large groups at once . |
| Kido Expert | As a lieutenant , Rangiku has enough of an understanding of Kidō spells to identify them upon sight . Though she is not a common user of this art , she is able to use Bakudō #77 without incantation . |
| Hakuda Practitioner | While mainly using her Zanpakutō in actual combat , Rangiku has , on various occasions showed some noticeable skill unarmed . During various missions to the Human World while in a Gigai , she would use well-coordinated kicks and punches on people with perverted advances . Ikkaku has noted that she should hold back more on her strikes , as she tends to knock out the target . |
| Expert 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 . This was also displayed in her battle with Harribel's Fracción , where she caused them to argue with one another as she attempted to defeat them with one concentrated attack . |
| High Spiritual Power | Being a lieutenant of the Gotei 13 , Rangiku boasts a high level of spiritual energy . |

Zanpakutō :
Its form is that of a straight-bladed katana . 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 . It has a dark red handle . Rangiku keeps Haineko behind her clipped onto her waist obi .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 . All the ash that surrounds her opponent(s) might as well be her sword . With simple hand gestures and a thought she can control where the ash goes as well as make it take various forms . Though in this form it takes on the look of scattered ash , each particle is a tiny blade . Rangiku controls the ash to attack from any direction as soon as she moves the hilt , ultimately enveloping and tearing up the enemy . The main attack strength of Haineko comes from how much ash makes contact, thus why it is clumped together . The ash can cut through objects as easily as a sword would , similar in principle to Byakuya Kuchiki's Senbonzakura . Rangiku has shown that Haineko can be a defensive weapon as well by having it take the form of a shield to defend against Apacci's attack .Neko Rinbu : Rangiku can create an enveloping cloud which she can then enclose around her opponents , turning it into a deadly tornado . This provides her an advantage while fighting groups of enemies .House : Rangiku can create a multilayer wall of ash . She uses the technique to aid her Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya in the stabilization of his Shinkū Tasō Hyōheki technique .
“I don't know , I never really counted days until I met you .”
Despite already having considerable control over her Zanpakutō , Rangiku acknowledged that she was far from performing to her fullest potential . Seeking advice from an individual with less than conventional methods , Urahara suggested that first she should attempt to regain the spiritual pressure lost as a child .Months , spanning to a year and a half spent in his basement training area , pushed further than anything had before , fearing that nothing could repair the damage caused by Aizen . Yet inside , slowly but surely she had regained some of what was lost , much to Haineko's delight . No longer being blamed quite so viciously by her Zanpakutō for holding back her potential , Rangiku took this as encouragement , training further in the secluded space . Control over her ash perfected , cuts much more deliberate and brutal , taking guidance and inspiration from Captain Kuchiki , even if he was aware or not .Summary : After almost 3 years , Rangiku regained her lost spiritual pressure . With this , her control over Haineko's ash became much more deliberate , able to infiltrate individuals airways to suffocate and shred from inside . Along with it becoming much more suffocating , each ash blade was much deadly , increasing the amount of blades and sharpness . Rangiku has completed control over her ash , able to increase its density to create constructs such as barriers or platforms , or casting it over a much wider radius to block out daylight . If she so wished , her ash could surround and individual and crush them , or simply encase their head to suffocate . Haineko and Rangiku are completely in sync . During this period , her Kidō mastery had vastly increased . Able to utilise up to Hadō #80 , with utilising up to #70 single handed without need of the incantation .After 8 years , Rangiku is currently on the brink of unlocking bankai .
