Fireball
CharacterFireball is an anime-only, fan-named technique belonging to Raika, the Zanpakutō of the filler antagonist Shūsuke Amagai. It lets him hurl large spheres of flame at his enemies, with fiercer versions available once he calls upon his Bankai.
Overview
Fireball is a conjecturally named, anime-exclusive technique tied to Raika, the Zanpakutō carried by Shūsuke Amagai.
Mechanics
Amagai gathers flame into the hooked crook of his weapon and, with a forward swing, sends sizable spheres of fire streaking toward a target, striking with enough force to answer even the ice Shikai of Hyōrinmaru. Once he draws on his Bankai, Raika Gōen Kaku, he can conjure a far larger blaze capable of flooring Ichigo, and he can also whip his blade overhead to loose a rapid volley of smaller fireballs that pin an opponent into dodging.
Notable Users
The technique is exclusive to Shūsuke Amagai, drawn from his Zanpakutō Raika and its Bankai, Raika Gōen Kaku.
