Well after 7 iterations ending in Nemu Mayuri can create life successfully so if he wanted to he could give himself a second kid with all his bullshit science inside them. Plus considering he turns into slime if he thinks he might die I wondered if he ever made a clone to act as a assistant or something.
basic inference from her circumstances, her speech and the fact that she's the odd one out in her family? Hell she may not have even passed the entrance without Ichigo's help.
She talks about "living in someone's shadow", that says more long running stuff to me, especially since she's going to be expected to live up to her big brother the Vice Captain of Squad 2's achievements.

What if we made multiple super thin and razor sharp barriers and attack our enemies from afar or we could effectively make a bunch of aoe from bakudo we could make spiky barriers and heavy barriers
We could even shield bash our opponents or rush them with our barriers
Holy shit i have so much ideas for bakudo i cant even type them properly
Like, Attack and Defense is literally the division. Using a traditionally defensive formation to attack somebody with just makes it a nonstandard Hado.

Well, to be more specific, Hado does attack, and Bakudo does defense and debuff. It's literally "The Way Of Binding". The first time we see it used is when Rukia binds Ichigo in his bedroom (lewd).
Well. Takako dropped healing and barrier magic for a reason, and even if you don't know it, you can respect whatever her logic is. She took extra zanjutsu classes as well, you think as you lay on your bed, staring at the ceiling. You're pretty good with Zangetsu, but your zanpakuto isn't like a normal one. For one thing it's huge, and for another... it's really huge. Using Zangetsu probably has more in common with a big axe than the slender blade of a normal sword.
But if you've discarded two forms of kido, then what about the third?
"There's no way I can get through that whole stack." Takako insists as soon as she sees your training set up in the morning. She seems happy to pretend that nothing at all happened yesterday, and since you don't want to remember getting your heels thrown up on, you don't bring it up either.
You eye the stack of plates. There are only two hundred or so on there. You can go through one of those a day, even though you usually don't. Hado is one of those things you kind of ignore most of the time when you're not in that actual class. "Why not?" You ask your friend.
"Because I can't cast the same spell hundreds of times in a row. I'd kill myself." Takako says.
Hado tires her out? It's not like you actually paid attention to her in the classes you share, but you think you'd notice if she got tired in class, or worn out. Or maybe you wouldn't. Your ability to sense spiritual energy is kind of absolutely horrible. Fortunately, you have an idea. "I know a kaido technique to infuse my spiritual energy into someone."
"That's not how that works, Ichigo." She says dully. "That's not how that works at all."
"It's not stable enough to induce healing, but I can fill you up, so start blasting, and when you get tired I'll give you some of my spirit energy. It's the perfect training aid."
"But that's crazy!"
"Really? The guy from the eleventh that my class practices on doesn't ever complain."
"That's because people from the eleventh division are crazy." Takako explains.
You set up a row of plates on the far wall, in front of the reinforced section, and rejoin your friend with a shrug. "You can leave, or you can let me help."
The keyword for the fourth hado spell is precision. It's supposed to be able to be fired through the smallest gap, or hit the most minute target, but do so with maximum penetrating force. That means that you have to reign in your energy, and focus on condensing it. It's kind of like trying to seal Zangetsu into a smaller form, and just like that you make incremental progress, going from plates entirely vanishing or shattering to leaving slivers of pottery behind. Your friend raises her arm and recites the chant. Blue sparks gather at her fingertip, and then lightning cracks down the path carved by her finger's pointing. A plate shatters. You do the same, and miss.
The noble woman laughs at your pursed lips, but then clamps her hands over her mouth, mortified by her lapse.
"I missed." You grumble. And after several more repetitions, in which you hit three out of the five plates, you put your hand on Takako's clammy skin at the nap of her neck. Green spirit energy gathers at your palm and flows into her slowly, unevenly, and you can tell that you don't quite have the kido lined up right, for lack of a better word. Most of what you try to put into her just spills into the air, but you barely notice.
This repeats twenty times.
Each round Takako's skin grows subtly clammier, her hands shakier, and your own body more leaden as you pour out your spiritual power, but you still refuse to stop until it's done. When her final plate doesn't crack, but instead rocks slightly with a perfect circle burned through its center, only a few inches wide, she falls to her knees and heaves for breath.
Takako smiles, and then her eyes bug out and she convulses.
You dance back. "Not on me!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" She gasps. "Just need a moment."
All in all, it's a pretty good day.
You hear rumors over the next week, preceding the actual announcement. There's going to be a tournament at the academy, a single elimination bracket of duels. The winner will be offered nothing but prestige, but prestige in front of important officers who are talent scouting is more valuable to the students who will be participating than mere money.
[] Participate in the tournament
-[] And encourage Takako to join
-[] Don't pressure Takako
[] Watch the tournament and take notes
Do you want to keep doing this with Takako? Doing so will move Kido (hado) up one priority slot, and move Hakuda down one.
[] Continue this
[] Don't repeat it
Skill up!
-Hado (destructive): Be careful, don't rush it
