Saigyoku Nijigasumi
CharacterSaigyoku Nijigasumi, meaning Colorful Gem of Rainbow Mist, is the finishing move tied to Maki Ichinose's sword, Nijigasumi. It buries a target inside a swelling orb of radiance that then collapses inward, crushing whoever is caught within a shrinking core of compressed light.
Overview
This ability belongs to the anime-exclusive swordsman Maki Ichinose and channels his blade, Nijigasumi. As he brings it to bear, his spiritual pressure surges upward, lending each of his strikes extra bite.
Mechanics
Countless glittering points of light gather around the victim before merging into a brilliant sphere that balloons outward, flattening everything within its reach. The globe then reverses course, tightening around its prisoner and bearing down with the weight of its own condensed light until the target is squeezed into a slender, high-density lance of energy. So absolute is the grip that Kenpachi Zaraki, swinging with his full might, failed to so much as scratch it and had to tear off his eyepatch and pour out his complete Reiatsu just to break loose.
