Shiden Raikō
CharacterShiden Raiko is the heaviest strike in the arsenal of Seigen Suzunami's Zanpakuto, Shiden. It gathers the sword's stored electricity and pours all of it into one enormous bolt of violet lightning loosed straight at the enemy, the sharpest expression of the blade's power.
Appearance
The attack shows as a single, massive shaft of violet lightning fired straight from the blade.
Abilities
It is one of the named discharges that stem from Shiden's electric special ability. Rather than spreading the current, Seigen focuses all of it into a concentrated, high-power strike aimed directly at a target.
