Soul Cutters
A soul cutter is the sword of a shinigami. It's actually part of the shinigami's soul and its size reflects the shinigami's power. On earth it purifies the sins of hollows after their deaths, allowing them to go to Soul Society. Every soul cutter has a name and most soul cutters have both a sealed and a released form, although there are a rare few that are always in released form once the sword has been released. In theory all soul cutters should also have a bankai form, although some do not most shinigami never manage to achieve bankai. In Soul Society a soul cutter can kill spirits and shinigami. The soul cutter is one of the four powers possessed by shinigami.

Owner: Kurotsuchi, Mayuri

However, it is not a tranquilizer as the victim can still feel sensations in the affected area, such as pain.
