Palma Plancha
CharacterPalma Plancha is a close-range Arrancar technique used by Edrad Liones, a member of Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez's Fracción. Its Spanish name reads as Palm Sheet while the kanji translates to Iron Armor Palm, capturing how the user pours raw spiritual pressure into devastating bare-handed strikes.
Overview
Palma Plancha is a striking technique documented in the official character guides as belonging to the Arrancar Edrad Liones. Rather than relying on a weapon, it turns the user's own hands into instruments of overwhelming force by concentrating spiritual energy at the point of impact.
Mechanics
On top of the Hierro that already toughens his body, Edrad gathers spiritual pressure around his hands until it glows as a visible aura, sharply amplifying the force behind anything he hits. The results are brutal. A single clipping blow knocked several teeth loose from Ikkaku Madarame, while a fuller swing tore up the surface of a road.
