Chikasumi no Tate
CharacterChikasumi no Tate ranks among the defensive tricks Kisuke Urahara draws from his sword Benihime. Triggered by a single spoken cue, it conjures a red six-sided wall that shrugs off strikes powerful enough to cost a lesser fighter a limb.
Overview
Chikasumi no Tate, rendered as Blood Mist Shield, is one of the guarding techniques tied to Kisuke Urahara's Zanpakutō, Benihime. It exists purely to protect its wielder, throwing up a barrier the instant a threat closes in.
Mechanics
The shield answers a single spoken order. Once Urahara voices the command to Cry, a six-sided wall of crimson light snaps into place ahead of Benihime, giving him cover the moment he needs it.
Its resilience is considerable. A full-force blow from an Espada lands against the barrier without cracking it or jarring the man behind it, and when Ichigo Kurosaki's Getsuga Tenshō crashed into the wall it merely wore away a little at the edges. Urahara later conceded that, but for this guard, the strike would have taken one of his arms.
