Just like it says on the tin guys...should be making a few more, feel free to comment on balance and whatnot (I tried to make things balanced but ya know, my magic knowledge is limited.) If you'd like to add to the thread don't post stupid or broken cards, they're not funny and its far more interesting to see reasonable effects based on characters than how many keywords you can stack. I've had vague ideas about a BG set but that would require more work for something nobody would ever use but then again, its fun. I'm reserving Planeswalkers for Post-Prestige characters (I know, my poor poor ego) but exceptions might exist maybe for sufficiently 'legendary' characters if we do end up with enough cards for a set just so every tom, dick, and harry doesn't make one and it limits their numbers to 3-5 which is an appropriate number.
Remember folks, cheap card aren't bad and expensive cards are good by default. Takes all sorts. I'm using mtgcardsmith.com/ and listing the cards under BleachGotei, if everyone else could follow suit it would help things stay organized. I plan on making a Human Garra, Shinigami Umi, and then Planeswalker BRoyal Hatred and then I'll move onto other characters probably...probably more Espada because I know the most about them.
I have a number posted in another thread dedicates to custom made cards. You should use magic set editor. It makes the cards look much more like... Real cards.
Your card is surprisingly balanced. I wouldn't make hollow breed a creature type, though. Just say spirit. Maybe demon spirit.

Am I vain enough to give myself my own subtype though?
...probably.
I just kind of envision Bleach translating as the following creature types
1. Plus (Shinigami and all non-Hollow souls)
2. Hollowbreed (Hollow, Arrancar, etc.)
3. Human (Humans and anything under its blanket)
4. Hybrid (Vaizard, any other weird hybrids [Like Mascarilla])
5. Royal (All post-prestige)
I might just make my own set and TK can make a set or something and everyone else who isn't an uber nerd can collab on a third set and we'll have a Bleach Gotei Block.
I use th e cards I made in the thread I linked for dc-10. Which requires a different type of balance.
Preexisting creature types allows for less insular design and thus better synergy in things like my dc10 stack.
It's funny you posted this actually. I had a design for a garra card in my head a couple days ago. Wanted to make ascendant all flip into planes walkers haha.

Should probably start by breaking down into colors, IMO Kenshou seems pretty STRONGLY Red and you could make an argument for Red/White. I don't see Black, not at all.
Actually, your card seems rather UP, Garra. Using this as reference, and it's an uncommon and uses only one colored mana. I'd think since yours is rare, you could drop the cost one, or increase each stat by one. Surely no one would consider calling that broken still.

Two cards for the Royal and Broyal fellows, I've decided to just use standard magic creature types meaning all broyals are now Spirit Horrors (because that makes loads of sense to me.) I wanted to make a transcendence sort of mechanic but that might be difficult to work out, I'll check back on that.
I was going to make broken Royals avatar creatures that get loyalty counters by achieving a condition (like dealing damage for umi) and transform flip at x into planeswalkers. Transcendent are just planeswalkers from the get go.
