Gift Ball
CharacterGift Ball is one of Askin Nakk Le Vaar's Deathdealing techniques, in which the Sternritter conjures sluggish orbs of poison. A single touch delivers his toxin almost instantly, potent enough to drop even a former Espada where he stands.
Appearance
Askin forms one or several slow-drifting spheres of poison, colored a deep purple, that he can hurl toward a target or leave floating in the air around him. The officially colored version in Chapter 543 instead tints the orb blue.
Personality
The technique showcases Askin's fondness for misdirection. When he unleashed it on Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, he leaned on the word "Gift," letting the Arrancar assume it meant a present rather than the German term for poison, so the danger registered far too late.

Abilities
Contact with any of these orbs triggers The Deathdealing's poisoning almost at once. One was enough to fell the former sixth Espada, Grimmjow, who collapsed the instant it reached him.
Askin can also blend several substances into a single orb for a layered assault, as with the Reishi, oxygen, and nitrogen Hybrid Gift Ball that drove Yoruichi Shihōin to the edge of collapse and death.
