Garganta Broadcast

Character

Garganta Broadcast is an Arrancar technique that turns the spiritual passageways known as Garganta into viewing windows. Rather than travel through them, the user opens portals that display fighting happening elsewhere, letting them show a captive an unfolding battle in real time.

Appearance

When employed, the ability conjures one or more Garganta rifts, the same dark tears Hollows normally use to cross between worlds. Instead of leading anywhere, each opening behaves like a screen, projecting the image of events taking place in a separate location.

Personality

The technique is a purely utilitarian one, offering no direct offense; its value lies in surveillance and, in the wrong hands, psychological pressure. By forcing a viewer to watch a distant struggle, the user can wear down a captive's resolve as surely as any blow.

History

Ulquiorra Cifer demonstrates the ability against Orihime Inoue, opening broadcasts so she is made to witness her friends fighting for their lives elsewhere in Hueco Mundo. It is counted among the powers available to the Espada.
