Ginjōhan
ItemGinjōhan 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.
Overview
Ginjōhan is a weighty metal sash used by Suì-Fēng, captain of the Second Division and commander of the Onmitsukidō. It comes into play only in connection with her rarely seen Bankai, Jakuhō Raikōben, a colossal missile launcher whose firing unleashes tremendous force.
Function
Before triggering that release, Suì-Fēng lashes the heavy sash around the building she is standing on, bracing for the violent recoil and the powerful explosion that follow. The step is necessary because the sheer kickback of the launcher would otherwise fling her away the instant the weapon goes off.
Notable Users
The sash is a piece of Suì-Fēng's personal equipment, tied to a Bankai she prefers to keep hidden. She regards the enormous weapon as a mark against her pride as a covert operative, since it is too bulky to conceal and far too showy for quiet assassination, which is part of why the anchoring gear is glimpsed so seldom.
