he didnt lose his powers, he lost the powers rukia gave him, and then had his own powers awakened with the help of urahara.

my name is kamino hoshan. i am the god of redemption. you want forgiveness? you want mercy? repentance? recantment? redemption? ha! i will decide if you deserve it.
i am a self-proclaimed shinigami, with a zanpakuto named tentojigoku, which means heaven and hell. it has no bankai. bankai is for the weak. i will soon post a hand-drawn picture of said zanpakuto soon. for all you bleach fans out there i say hello and be warned. i am a nice person, but short-tempered.
NAME - Kamino Shokan (shokan is the surname)
AGE - physical age - 17. real age - 967
RACE - shinigami/soul reaper, human form
SEX - male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION - heterosexual
MARITAL STATUS - single
WEAPON OF CHOICE - zanpakuto
Standard form - concealed sword contained in white cane with black etchings of demons, angels, dragons, etc. Fancy cane, no old man handle on the top
Shikai - tentojigoku (roughly "heaven and hell") see bankai description. combination of the two. half white half black blade, curled silver hilt, half diamond half amethyst, half pearl half onyx, unarmored. power is called black light of redemption: sword glows black. trail of black light follows path of sword. enhanced abilities (speed, strength, etc.). signature move is the judgment day fury strike. swings straight down from above in a circular motion, swinging sword in circles on both sides like nun chucks, leaving halos of black light trails in its path. downside is it is a rather direct and narrow spaced attack, leaving room to dodge.
Summoning phrase - "judge him"
Bankai - two bankai. it differs depending on his mood. they look similar to the shikai, but more detailed and fierce-looking.
Bankai 1 - tengoku ("heaven"). called out, the shikai is pointed towards the sky, a shining light comes down from the heavens and strikes the sword with a blinding flash, disappearing as quickly as it came, leaving in its wake a shining silver blade with a large diamond(like three of diamonds)-shaped diamond between the blade and the hilt, the hilt surrounding the bottom half of the diamond, curling around in two small spirals on each side. the hilt is armored more than the shikai's, it's black with white armor, the bottom of the hilt curling smaller than the top, and 4 curls perpendicular to each other, surrounding a small pearl. power: judgment. the blade glows white hot, leaving a trail of light like the shikai does so. it has the ability to melt even zanpakuto steel. its signature move is piercing blade of truth. a series of disarming strikes is delivered, followed by an execution style stab directly through the heart, a blinding light shines from the wound as the swords hidden ability takes place in that it purifies spirit energy but also dissipates it and blows it away, rendering the spirit energy useless. the downside is it takes several seconds to power up the final blow, leaving time to escape.
Bankai 2 - jigoku ("hell"). opposite looking of tengoku. black blade, opposite colored armor and hilt, amethyst instead of diamond, and onyx instead of pearl. when called on, the user plunges the blade into the ground, cracking the very earth underneath it and splitting it wide open as flames from hell emerge with demons and dragons that wail out in their demonic voices as they swirl around the blade engulfing it with fire, the enormous amount of power flowing in you as the flames dissipate and the demons disappear from the cracks in the earth that are now sealed, leaving in their wake the shining black blade described above. power: damnation. a plague of destruction eminates from the very core of this wretched blade. black fire clings to this bankai as it is swung without hesitation to end the life of one of countless people killed by this sword. its signature move is wrath of the condemned. a wide range attack, this actually splits into segments and whipped around like a chain whip, similar to zabimaru. it whips around the user in all directions, spitting wave after wave of hellish black fire out at those out of range of the actual blade. its hidden ability is that it can burn the spirit energy of others.
