Telon Balon
CharacterTelon Balon, rendered as Globe Curtain or Curtain Ball, is a defensive maneuver used by the eighth Espada Szayelaporro Granz after entering his Resurrección, Fornicarás. It cocoons him inside his own winged limbs to weather even a collapsing building.
Overview
Telon Balon is Szayelaporro Granz's protective option in his released form, a way to shrug off incoming force while he schemes. Where his other released techniques toy with enemies, this one simply seals the Espada away behind a wall of his own making.
Mechanics
Szayelaporro draws his winged limbs in around his body, thickening them before pulling them together into a sphere that encloses him completely. The branching appendages can stretch out at will, and the resulting shell is sturdy enough to shield him from the weight of a building coming down, and light enough to float when the situation calls for it.
