Items

Anken are the small throwing blades that Yoruichi Shihōin keeps tucked inside her boots. Instead of drawing them by hand, she flicks them at a target with a sharp kick, folding the concealed weapons neatly into her hand-to-hand fighting style.

An Asauchi is a blank, nameless Zanpakutō issued to fledgling Shinigami. Each is forged by the master smith Ōetsu Nimaiya and carries no identity of its own. A Shinigami grows it into a true, named blade only by keeping it always at hand and slowly impressing their soul's own essence into the metal.

Saiga is one of the Bakkōtō, a scarce and illegal type of living blade fielded by the assassins working for Gyōkaku Kumoi. Rather than partnering with its bearer, a Bakkōtō drains their spirit power to grow, devouring the wielder over time.

The Bakkōtō is a forbidden, parasitic weapon born from a guarded Kasumiōji Clan technique. Unlike a Zanpakutō, which grows through partnership, a Bakkōtō feeds on its wielder, swelling in power as it slowly consumes the body and mind of whoever dares to hold it.

Retsurai belongs to the Bakkōtō, a rare and outlawed class of living weapon carried by the assassins under Gyōkaku Kumoi. A Bakkōtō feeds on its wielder's spirit power, growing stronger while it slowly eats away at the person holding it.

The Blood Oath's Seal is a blood pact that chains the lives of the Royal Guard together in order to leash their overwhelming power. Because a single member unleashed could shake the Three Worlds, the seal holds their true strength in check, and it can only be broken at a terrible cost.

The Blood Reorganization Drug is one of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's inventions, a serum that rewrites the blood inside a target's body into a variety he engineered himself. He turns it into a weapon during the Quincy war, hijacking an enemy's zombies by seizing the blood that once controlled them.

The Cage of Life is Kirio Hikifune's living defense, a tree steeped in her own spiritual energy. Its branches hunger for Reiatsu, swallowing energy-based attacks to feed their rapid growth, which turns the cage into a shield that grows stronger the harder it is struck.

Caja Negación is a small cube handed out to the Espada by Sousuke Aizen. It mimics a Negación field, sealing its target inside a separate dimension, and serves chiefly as a punishment an Espada can inflict on a wayward Fracción.

The Chain of Fate is the spectral tether binding a departed spirit to the living body it once occupied. As that link decays through a process called Encroachment, the abandoned soul is slowly dragged toward a ravenous Hollow existence.

The Denreishinki is the smartphone-like handset every Shinigami carries while posted in the World of the Living. It relays orders from Soul Society, pinpoints emerging Hollows on a radar map, and logs each purified spirit as bounty currency.

Diagramm is the towering sniper rifle conjured from Reishi by the Sternritter Lille Barro. More than an ordinary firearm, it channels his Schrift, The X-Axis, a power that drills flawless holes clean through anything in its line of fire.

Dokuga are venomous, light-brown moths that swarm the Rukongai in the video game Bleach: Dark Souls. Closely resembling the messenger butterflies known as Jigokuchō, they menace the district's residents until stronger fighters step in to clear them out.

The Bount rely on Dolls as their chief weapons, each one a living expression of the power its owner holds within. Kept sealed in a personal crest until a German summons call frees it, a Doll can prove a loyal ally or turn lethally on the master who wakes it.

Fullbring is the rare power carried by Fullbringers, spiritually aware humans who can grip the souls hidden inside physical matter. Rooted in stray Hollow energy inherited at birth, it lets a wielder bend everyday objects, and even the ground and air, to their will.

The Gates of the Sun are ornate metal plates housed within Silbern, the Wandenreich's ice-clad fortress. Linked by matching Keys of the Sun, they let Yhwach's forces jump instantly between distant points, and one served as the doorway for the empire's strike on Soul Society.

The Gentei Reiin is the spirit-restriction seal that caps a Gotei 13 officer's strength while they operate in the World of the Living. Shaped like their division's emblem, it slashes a captain's or lieutenant's power to a fraction to spare the human realm from needless devastation.

A Gigai is the artificial body a Shinigami slips into so they can linger in the World of the Living and mingle with humans. Beyond simple disguise, specialized versions can hide spiritual pressure, drain a soul's powers, or even let its occupant live an ordinary human life.

Gikon are the artificial souls that Shinigami scientists use to evict a spirit from a body at will. Delivered as a swallowable pill and marketed under the cuter name Soul Candy, each carries its own preset personality and pops out of a toy dispenser.

Ginjōhan is the heavy metal sash Suì-Fēng winds around a nearby structure before she unleashes her Bankai. Anchoring herself against the enormous kickback of her missile-launching release, it keeps the blast's recoil from tearing her from her footing.

Ginjōtan is a steel sash worn beneath Suì-Fēng's armor, so heavy that it slows her down. Its real purpose surfaces only when she fires her Bankai, tethering her to a fixed object so the tremendous recoil cannot throw her off her feet.

Ginpaku Kazahana no Uzuginu is a rare silver-white silk, light as drifting windflowers, prized among the nobility of Soul Society. Woven by a master craftsman, the fabric forms the ceremonial scarf passed to each head of the Kuchiki Clan, a single length of it valued at a small fortune within the Seireitei.

Gintō are the compact silver canisters that Quincy rely on to keep their spiritual energy close at hand. By storing liquefied power inside these tubes, a Quincy can trigger a range of combat effects that echo the spell arts of the Shinigami, releasing the reserve on command to strike at Hollows.

The Gokon Tekkō is a specialized glove that lets a Shinigami separate a spirit from the living body it inhabits. Pressing the device against a person forces their soul out, making it a core tool for the reapers as they carry out their work in the world of the living.

Gran Caída is the great double-bladed axe wielded by Baraggan Louisenbairn, the Segunda Espada. A relic of his reign as the God-King of Hueco Mundo, the weapon reappears in his released form, kept concealed within his cloak until he draws it in battle.

The Heilig Bogen, or Holy Bow, is the signature spirit weapon of the Quincy. Shaped from ambient spirit particles, it is the classic bow that traditional archers of the order manifest to loose their arrows at Hollows and other spiritual foes.

Hoffnung is the favored sword of Gerard Valkyrie, the Sternritter known as The Miracle. A black, double-edged blade bound to his command over hope, it hurls any damage inflicted on it straight back at whoever dealt the blow.

The Hōgyoku is a small bluish-purple orb of immense and mysterious power, able to dissolve the divide between Shinigami and Hollow. Its deeper secret is a capacity to read the hearts of those nearby and turn their strongest desires into reality, a force Sōsuke Aizen spends decades trying to master.

Hojiku-Zai is a regenerative serum devised by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, captain of the Twelfth Division. Injected into a wound, the green chemical can regrow a lost limb outright, though its user pays for the recovery with sharp pain.

Hollow Bait is a small tablet used by the Quincy to lure Hollows out of Hueco Mundo. Crushed and scattered into the air, it draws the creatures into a stretch of the living world, giving an archer easy prey to hunt.

Jigokuchō, the Hell Butterflies, are dark winged insects that serve the Shinigami in several roles. They lead their handlers safely through the Senkaimon between worlds and carry messages and orders across Soul Society.

Jinmen Himo is one of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's stranger creations, a living cord that ends in a human-looking, seemingly sentient head. Fired at an enemy to bind them, the string can then be detonated on command through a matching face-bearing trigger.

The Jōkaishō are colossal Reishi-generating devices built long ago by scientists of the Seireitei. Created to fuel forbidden immortality research, one of them melted down in a catastrophe that gave rise to the Bount.

Kaikyō Kotei, rendered as Realm Boundary Fixation, is the procedure Shinigami use to still the Kōryū, the trapping current that races through the Dangai. Locking that flow lets travelers cross the Precipice World safely, a corridor where time runs thousands of times faster than the realms it joins.

The Kakaku Taihō, or Flower Crane Cannon, is a towering artillery piece built and guarded by the Shiba Clan. Instead of shells it hurls living passengers across enormous distances, most famously flinging Ichigo Kurosaki and his companions over the walls of the Seireitei.

Kakuyoku, meaning Horned Wings, is one of the Bakkōtō, the outlawed living blades forged in secret by the Kasumiōji Clan. Shaped like an oversized polearm, it belongs to the assassin Genga and turns its wielder's own spiritual power into barriers of stone.

Kan is the currency circulating throughout Soul Society. Every Shinigami is paid in it, and every good sold across the realm carries a price marked in Kan, from newspapers and eyewear to the budgets of its many clubs and associations.

The Kenseikan is an ornate white headpiece worn in the hair by members of the Kuchiki family. More ornament than tool, it marks its wearer as nobility belonging to one of Soul Society's four great noble houses.

Kidō, the Demon Arts, is one of the four core combat disciplines every Shinigami trains in. It channels spiritual energy into spells, split broadly into destructive Hadō and supportive Bakudō, ranging from simple utility tricks to devastating high-level incantations.

The Kidō Gun is a shotgun-like firearm devised by the exiled researcher Ran'Tao. With her spiritual powers sealed away as punishment, she built it to hurl concentrated bursts of Kidō, giving her a way to fight without drawing on her own bound abilities.

Kikaisan refers to the array of custom devices and compounds engineered by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, captain of the 12th Division and head of Soul Society's Research Institute. From explosive implants to time-warping drugs, his inventions double as both experiments and weapons.

Kojaku, meaning Arc Sparrow, is the spirit bow wielded by the Quincy Uryū Ishida. Shaped from gathered spiritual particles rather than forged, it grows or shrinks with the energy he channels, and its arrows can fell most Hollows in a single strike.

The Love Gun is a heart-shaped weapon carried by the Fullbringer Riruka Dokugamine. Built by Shūkurō Tsukishima, it fires miniature objects stored inside that balloon to full size on release, and its bearer can pump up the force by draining a vial of fluid on its back.

The Medallion is a palm-sized Quincy device issued to the Wandenreich's Sternritter. Drawing on Yhwach's Sankt Altar technique, it rips a released Bankai away from its Shinigami owner and hands that stolen power to whoever holds the disc, a theft the Wandenreich call medalizing.

The Nerve-Freezing Agent is a lethal drug engineered by Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Injected into an organism's nerves, it locks solid every organ those nerves reach and clots the victim's blood, shutting the body down from the inside.

The Ōin is a royal seal belonging to Soul Society's ruling family, a small golden stamp shuffled to a fresh hiding place every few decades. Cut open by a true Bankai, it hands its bearer command over an entire dimension; cut carelessly, it warps the wielder into a monstrous, unstable form.

The Ōken is the only key that opens the way to the Soul King Palace, and it is no ordinary key at all. It is the very bones of the Royal Guard, reshaped by the Soul King's power, meaning the palace can be reached only with a guardsman's consent or in his company.

The Pipe is a trumpet-shaped instrument that forms part of a Piper's standard kit within Wing Bind, the dragon-management agency of Reverse London in BURN THE WITCH. Carried alongside a checkered mantle, it marks its bearer as one of the agency's conservation rangers.

The Postcognition Drug is one of Mayuri Kurotsuchi's inventions, a compound that traps whoever it affects inside a mental time loop. Marketed as a gift of past-seeing power, it instead binds its victim to an endless rematch against its creator that can only end one way.

The Quincy Bangle is a relic of the Quincy that forces spirit particles to gather and then amplifies them, lending its wearer the powers of the bloodline. Handed down for generations and long studied in a Soul Society laboratory, it lets a powerless Quincy fight once more.
