The Tensen are really the most formidable opponents one can face on Kotaku Island in Hell's Paradise. These ethereal beings have truly achieved immortality, and no force, man-made or natural, is strong enough to kill them.


However, in episode 9 of Hell's Paradise, we see Zhu Jin, a Tensen, transform into an other-worldly being to enhance his physical prowess to get rid of Gabimaru. It is making the fans wonder what kind of transformation he just received that overpowered Gabimaru, the elite Shinobi.

Kishikai, known as Demonic Corpse Release, is a transformation in Hell's Paradise that grants Tensen a significant enhancement in their abilities. There are two ways to utilize the Kishikai form: partial and full. Typically, Tensen manifest their Kishikai form by blending elements of their Yin and Yang forms.



In the series, the majority of Tensen are observed employing the partial transformation. In fact, the Kishikai transformation serves as a final recourse for Tensen, utilized when they find themselves without any other means of prevailing in a battle.


Disadvantages Of Using Kishikai Form

Since there are numerous advantages of using the Kishikai form, it comes with a price too. In case Tensen uses their Kishikai form after suffering too much physical damage, there is a risk that Tensen might lose control over his mind.


Moreover, the Kishikai form uses a lot of Tao from the body of the Tensen, as a result, the Tensen can only stay in their Kishikai form for half an hour. Also, after the use of the Kishikai form, the Tensen starts to look like an elderly person, losing their youthful prowess.


To return to their original form, the Tensen needs to cycle through their chi and need some time for a full recovery. Another way of recovering through the transformation is the consumption of Tan, otherwise known as the elixir of immortality.
