What does Kensei Muguruma's bankai do?


According to Wikipedia:

> Kensei's bankai is named Tekken Tachikaze (鐡拳・断地風?, lit. Iron Fist Earth-
> Severing Wind). The combat knife transforms into two bladed, bronze knuckle-
> like weapons known as tiger claws in each hand that are connected by a long
> fabric-like material that wraps around and up his arms like bandages and
> form a small arc above his head. Its abilities are unknown.

It was confirmed in chapter 560, taken from [Bleach
Wikia](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Kensei_Muguruma#cite_note-70):

> It appears to greatly augment his strength, as he is able to create a large
> explosion upon attacking. This is due to the fact that in this form the
> power of his Bankai is transferred to the knuckle blades. The bursting power
> continues to hit his opponent endlessly as long as his fists are touching
> his opponent.
