Hiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi
CharacterHiasobi, Benihime, Juzutsunagi is an offensive follow-up wielded by Kisuke Urahara through his sword Benihime. It converts an already-cast restraining net into a chain of fire, turning a trap meant to hold an enemy into the delivery system for a massive explosion.
Overview
This move is one of the finishing options in the fire-based repertoire of Benihime, the Zanpakutō carried by Kisuke Urahara. Its Japanese name renders as Fire-Playing Crimson Princess Beaded Mesh, with the Viz translation given as Fiery Red Princess, Net of Beads. Rather than working on its own, it is designed to be chained onto an earlier binding technique.
Mechanics
The technique builds directly on Shibari, Benihime, the mesh Urahara first throws over a foe. Once the target lies pinned beneath that web, he touches its strands with Benihime's point, and spheres of flame bloom along the netting's outer edge. These fireballs detonate in sequence, cascading like a row of buried mines set off one after another, each blast racing toward the trapped opponent. When the burning orbs reach the body they hold, the built-up chain culminates in a single enormous, ruinous eruption.
Notable Users
The technique belongs solely to Kisuke Urahara, who summons it through his Zanpakutō, Benihime. It sits among that sword's fire-driven attacks, tied to the binding move that must be cast before it.
