Invisibility
CharacterInvisibility is a stealth power drawn from Maki Ichinose's Zanpakutō, Nijigasumi. By bending light cleanly around himself, he drops entirely out of sight, an edge he turns into ambushes and quiet passage through even the most closely watched ground.
Overview
Invisibility is an anime-original technique tied to Maki Ichinose's Zanpakutō, Nijigasumi. It grants him true concealment, erasing him from view so thoroughly that onlookers see straight through to whatever sits behind him.
Mechanics
Ichinose bends the surrounding light around his frame, leaving anyone who looks straight at him to perceive only the scene behind. The concealment makes him ideal for sudden strikes and for slipping past sentries into secured areas unnoticed. It falls short of flawless, though. Once an opponent figures out where he actually stands and lands a blow or blocks one of his, the impact jolts him back into view, his outline shimmering into focus.
