Respira

Baraggan Louisenbairn commands Respira only while wearing his Resurrección, Arrogante. Its dual names, borrowed from Spanish and Japanese, both circle the same grim idea of a breath that carries death. In practice the ability is the physical expression of his dominion over time itself.

When invoked, a dark, purple-tinged haze billows out from Baraggan in every direction, and anything caught within it instantly withers, ages, and rots away. The mist travels quickly enough that it overtook the second company's captain Suì-Fēng even as she fled at the peak of her flash-step speed, reducing the flesh of one arm to bare bone; the decay refused to stop until the limb was severed entirely. Baraggan can dial the cloud's pace and ferocity to suit him, drifting a gentle version after Marechiyo Ōmaeda yet loosing a far swifter, more violent surge that erased whole buildings once he was provoked. Because created things are destined to perish like their makers, the fog even eats through Kidō, as it did when he dissolved a binding cage. His own skeletal frame normally resists the effect, but that immunity fails the instant the miasma is forced inside his body, such as through teleportation.

The corrosive breath is unique to Baraggan Louisenbairn, the Segunda Espada, and features throughout his clash with the Soul Reaper captains above the false Karakura Town.
