Hīringu Shiv is a healing type Zanpakuto that energizes the body into regenerating under its knife.
Soothe, an aura that removes pain is emitted from the blade to stop the otherwise excruciating healing abilities. Ci never uses it on anyone else, he claims it tires him out.

Blocking an incoming attack with Arc shield, Ci then shots a Byakurai straight through the crumbling shield with Byakurai.

*Kido master- the entire reason Ci is a Lieutenant, he is able to effortlessly weave and combine kido. Ci is never a fan of larger kido, and anything over 70 requires an incantation.
**Kido combination- Ci prefers to combine Hado and Bakudo
**Kaidō Expert- Sadly, Ci is good at healing others with healing kido. How much effort he'll put forth is another question however.
*Lots of experience- in his long years, Ci has seen things.
Personality: Ci loves nothing more than a good laugh, unfortunately nothing is funnier than the misfortunes of others to Ci, which is why he is so happy to be in his division. He proudly has the title of the biggest jackass in the Seireiti. Messing with people is the fastest way he's found to get the reactions he wants, and so he does, often claiming to be just an old man with dementia. It is also his first route of excusing his actions.
Ci enjoys his division, and while he is (sadly) very good at his job, he probably has more malpractice deaths than most 2nd division agents have assassinations. Ci tries to keep it to a 1 in 25 ratio. He also welcomes any bullying towards his squad, as 'everyone has to see the Doctor sometime.' That, and few people do it better than he does.
Ci's constant laugh searching however means he never really put the effort needed to become a captain, and he probably never will.
History: Zuo Ci was raised in an extremely prominent clan in the Seireiti, a noble family with all the perks that could spoil a boy. He never really had any trauma or problems in the safe heaven that was the Seireiti nobility. He decided it was boring, nothing ever happened, and so he enlisted to become a shinigami.
Zuo's talent became apparent, kido was his forte, his only forte, and so he was put into the Kido corps for many years, more years than most shinigami have been alive. However, after an investigation, where a portal team suddenly went missing, Ci was suddenly a suspect in the case. While it was never proven, the result was appearant, that Ci had tampered with the portal for kicks and giggles, and caused it to suck all members of the team into the dangai. With growing suspicion on him, and multiple attempts on his life, Ci decided it was probably time to transfer to an actual division. He made it into the 4th division, figuring it to be the coziest.
Ci for the first time in his life put effort into training, and spent most of his time learning Kaido and Bakudo. Eventually his mastery of these new skills, alongside his already mastered Hado allowed Ci to see new sides to Kido that many shinigami hadn't, and he began to combine them. It seemed a promising time for him. Accusations came back to him about the incident in the Dangu, but without evidence, it began to quiet down. While applying himself, Ci quickly grew to become Lieutenant. Ci became cozy in his position, and stayed their for hundreds of years. With the suspicion dying down, and Ci becoming one of the older soul reapers, suspicion dissipated, and with it, his effort to advance. He was happy where he was, and stayed that.
