Shikai: Yeah, as you stated, there are 4 abilities. You might just shift one of these over to bankai, best to hold to the form, even if they're not overkill.
1) So is the amount of toxin that goes into the system exactly the same no matter where, how many times, nor how deeply they are cut? How would this affect a person's ability to fight over time? How badly affected are they at 15 minutes vs. 30 minutes? I don't think you have to include the first drawback, mainly because, given the hour it takes to make this fully affect and the fact that he can't let go of the blade for even an instant, it just seems like too much.
2) So does this wailing come well ahead of the movement? Like, what's the time between the wail reaching the opponent and the actual movement? Is the wail focused only over a small area where they'll be coming to and radiate out from there, or can the opponent only hear it in a very limited space? I get that he can't make course corrections very quickly, but since the attack is so fast, it doesn't seem like a tremendous drawback. Overall, since this speed is supposed to be faster than any in existence, I'm not certain its fully reasonable as is.
3) So it gives his entire body the ability to burn through flesh, or just the blade? How much burning are we talking about (like a hot knife through butter, or a jet engine)? I'm guessing this burns through more than just flesh, so could you give some description of the amount of heat this radiates? Does it only burn when cutting, or does placing the blade against someone burn as well? When does the pain of the internal burning start to have actual effect on their movements and abilities?
4) So the idea is that they would have no idea what memory they're removing by doing this. Is the memory lost lost at random, or can they select a specific one? If they don't know the opponent, how will they know what to remove? How large of a memory can it be (if you're removing someone's knowledge of how to walk, for example, that's something they've been technically "learning" their entire life. If you remove knowledge of an ability, that's much less time)? What's the range on this ability? Does this persist after battle? What suffices as a "stronger opponent"? Does that mean stronger mentally, or stronger physically? What if they're weakened by damage?
Bankai:
1) What does it mean to turn into a demon? Right now, I'm only seeing that you're basically immortal, but since I"m not seeing any sign of increased strength, speed or energy, I wonder what it means. You can still be harmed at the same rate and still feel pain. In fact, from what I'm seeing, you're blinded by rage throughout this ability's activation, which can be detrimental when fighting technical opponents. I'm guessing deactivating the bankai would banish this ability as well? If he takes enough harm, would he be removed from bankai as well?
