| - Dansei Shishi (人獣, Dansei Shishii. Literally Meaning "Man-Beast Style") is the fighting style that is used by the Sansubetasijo Shibaraku and this still is considered the most pyhiscally demanding. This style also is considered the most physically of all of the Onmyōdō styles, Shibaraku had explained that this style focuses on several things. He revealed that in use with his Fai Fai no Mi and his skills with his main weapon a Naginata usage. Aside from this, Shibaraku had added several elements of Kabuki such as poses and stances. But what this style so powerful is the number of weapon usage and what Shibaraku addresses as animal mimicry. This style was first introduced by Shibaraku whenever he had went through a small battle with Smoker and Taishigi. Shibaraku had stated that ever since he was close to five or six years old, he had been training. It was assumed by Smoker that Shibaraku was powerful, considering that he had heard that he had a doriki level of 2400, for one to master this style. They must go through several steps, the first is by being born into a family that knows this style. Shibaraku's family had been a band of performers and had started this branch of Onmyōdō using elements of Kabuki theater and a skill as to what they call animal mimicry. Going into this skill as Shibaraku explained that from a very young age the parents of the student would sent them out into the forest and upon mediation and living there for close to a year. Shibaraku was to observe and watch the animals at work, play and rest, then from that time on that he would gain the trust of the animals and then they would showing him their ways. Mostly it was revealed to be that of a tarzan case. After close from a year to two years, the student would have returned gaining the understanding of animals and nature. Then after training the mental and physical side of animal mimicry, Shibaraku then was put into learning the style of Kabuki theater. This is were the student would be trained in balance, stances and many other skills that would allow the user to be swift and agile on their feet. Shibaraku had been studying the art forms of kabuki and the different characters, as to what they represent and everything down to what they had worn. The next attribute to this branch, is the usage of the Naginata which is Shibaraku's favored weapon of choice. Since he has practiced Kendo and several polearm related martial arts. Shibaraku had mastered the art of using the Naginata, but rather he had become quick and deadly with this weapon. He had revealed that his Naginata weights close to 30 Lbs., so a lot of physical strength comes into play into even lifting up. Let along swinging it and using it on an offensive gambit, aside from the Naginata. This branch also allows the user to use countless different weapons, of course with each weapon the user must master them and one can't go from one to the other. Shibaraku had to master one at a time or the user might become so overwhelmed by the art that they give up. This often shows that the user will need a lot patience in order to master this art, strong of both body and mind. Aside from the demanding physical and mental needs, this branch often requires a great memory for the amount of information. This gets to the focus of the Fai Fai no Mi, in which Shibaraku is able to organize all of his memories into a filing system and from which he can draw upon later. With his devil fruit mastery he could be able to create different files on the different forms, such as the Lion fighting form and stances. Then he could easily switch to the tiger form and stances then so on. Also his devil fruit added to the mix, he is able to even use the Kabuki poses and stances he learned. Then remembering all of the different weapons he had mastered, but mostly using his devil fruit in remembering the forms and strikes of the Naginata. Some of the more terrifying usages of this style is through the life return techniques, in Shibaraku is able to manipulate both his hair similar to Kumadori and to manipulate the muscles in his body. He is able to manipulate every part of his body, thanks the years of mastery he had with Rokushiki and the life return techniques. He had revealed that he is able to increase his size as well, from the first time he was seen he appeared to only stand as 5 ft. 8 in., but as of now he appears to be 7 ft. 4 in. He is able to increase his muscle size to extreme proportions he is able to have his arm muscle grow to extreme sizes and as well had his legs. But aside from this he had shown to use all three forms of haki in his art as well, he incorporates all these factors into his style and always comes out on top with them. Aside for the basic Onmyōdō techniques, the following are the techniques that Shibaraku uses in his branch of the Onmyōdō, listed here:
* Zou Sekiwokeru (象席を蹴る, Literally Meaning "Elephant Stomping") one of Shibaraku's basic and one of his favored techniques, by focusing Haoshoku haki into his feet. He will stomp his foot into the ground and release a wave of Haoshoku haki to knock out his opponents. However he has also used this in his naginata, but just slamming it into the ground and having the same affect. This technique was first seen whenever Shibaraku had attacked parts of the G-3 base of the marines. He used this to knock out most of the marines with ease and thus he was able to defeat them within a matter of minutes.
* Gorira Panchi (ゴリラ剪刀, Literally Meaning "Gorilla Punch") Shibaraku after increase the muscle sizes in his arms and fists to its maxim. He will send a powerful punch to his opponents guts, most of the time this will sent his opponents flying away at high speeds.

The punch is strong enough to punch through a solid brick or metal wall, Shibaraku commented that this technique could kill anyone who wasn't wearing armor. Because of the force of the blow so strong that it could break the ribs and thus they ribs could go into one of the lungs or worse the heart.
* Uma Kiku (馬反動, Literally Meaning "Horse Kick") After focusing all of his muscle power into his legs, Shibaraku will give a powerful kick to his opponents.

He uses the life return to make the muscles in his hands to be tremendously power, he had shown that he was able to easily crush the skull of a marine. He was able to bend a sword and even crush a canon ball with this art form, however it would seem the only down to this is that.
