The Godai Law
The five elements are, in ascending order of power, 地 ( chi or tsuchi) Earth, 水 (sui or mizu) Water, 火 (ho, ka or hi) Fire, 風 (fū or kaze) Wind, and 空 (kū).
This last is usually translated as "void" when referring to the
elements, but refers to "sky" in most other contexts, and is therefore
sometimes translated as "Heaven".
But this levels doesn't necessarily mean the higher is the better when it comes to your choice of mastery.
"even the highest of towers needs a solid foundation."
always remember that

always remember that
Chi
地
- Spoiler:
- Represents the hard, solid objects of the world. The most basic example of chi is in a stone. Stones are highly resistant to movement or change, as is anything heavily influenced by chi.
In people, the bones, muscles and tissues are represented by chi.
Emotionally, chi
is predominantly associated with stubbornness, stability, physicality,
and gravity.
In the mind, it is confidence; and emotionally it is a
desire to have things remain as they are; a resistance to change.
When
under the influence of this chi mode or "mood", we are aware of our own physicality and sureness of action.
Sui
水
- Spoiler:
- Represents the fluid, flowing, formless things in the world. Outside of
the obvious example of rivers and the like, plants are also categorized
under sui, as they adapt to their environment, growing and
changing according to the direction of the sun and the changing
seasons.
Blood and other bodily fluids are represented by sui, as are mental or emotional tendencies towards adaptation and change.
sui can be associated with emotion, defensiveness, adaptability, flexibility, suppleness, and magnetism.
Ka
火
- Spoiler:
Represents the energetic, forceful, moving things in the world.
Animals, particularly predators, capable of movement and full of
forceful energy, are primary examples of ka objects.
Bodily, ka represents our metabolism and body heat, and in the mental and emotional realms, it represents drive and passion.
ka
can be associated with motivation, desire, intention, and an outgoing
spirit. Besides the obvious examples of heat and flame, lightning can
also be thought of as an extension of Ka.
Fū
風
- Spoiler:
- Represents things that grow, expand, and enjoy freedom of movement. Aside from air, smoke, and the like, fū
can in some ways be best represented by the human mind. As we grow
physically, we learn and expand mentally as well, in terms of our
knowledge, our experiences, and our personalities.
Fū
represents breathing, and the internal processes associated with
respiration. Mentally and emotionally, it represents an "open-minded"
attitude and carefree feeling. It can be associated with will,
elusiveness, evasiveness, benevolence, compassion, and wisdom.
Kū
空
- Spoiler:
- Most often translated as "Void",
but also meaning "sky" or "Heaven", represents those things beyond our
everyday experience, particularly those things composed of pure energy.
Bodily, kū represents spirit, thought, and creative energy.
It represents our ability to think and to communicate, as well as our
creativity. It can also be associated with power, creativity,
spontaneity, and inventiveness.
Shiki
識
- Spoiler:
- Consciousness, or 識 (shiki) is the 6th element that normal shinigami's cant use, this element is available only to Captains and Vice Captains.
Mastering this means being able to use all five elements with ease, this is the highest level of Godai
