Kido List

List of Bakudō


1. Sai ( Restrain) -
Locks a target's arms in place behind their back.

Incantation: unknown.


4. Hainawa (Crawling Rope) -
An energy rope entangles the target's arms.

Incantation: unknown.


7. Musume no Yoonin (Embrace of the Maiden)
This kido can be likened to the Black Coffin Hado, but without the spears impaling the target. Spirit particles gather around the target, and slowly harden to create a shell, with holes available for breathing. They are then immobile. The user and target both must be completely still for the kido to work, which makes it difficult to perform in battle.

To release the kido it can either be shattered with very little force by a zanpakuto or other attack, or it is released by the user pressing their palms against the shell.

Incantation: "O, love of my soul, come to me, bring him to me, make him one with you."


8. Seki ( Repulse) -
Creates a round shield that seems to temporarily paralyze and repel whatever strikes it.

Incantation: unknown.


9. Geki ( Strike) -
Engulfs the target in red light, completely paralyzing them.

Incantation: "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat!"

9. Hōrin( Disintegrating Circle) -
Causes an orange hued tendril with spiraling yellow patterns to erupt from the users hand and attempt to trap a target. the end of it remains in the hands of the user allowing them to control the path of the tendril before and after capture. The Kidō is able to connect with another one of itself if both have captured a target and bind them together.

Incantation: "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini!! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat!"


12. Fushibi ( Ambush Flare) -
Momo Hinamori uses this spell in conjunction with Shakkahō and a Kidō net that has entangled her opponents resulting in a large explosion around them all. Rangiku Matsumoto states that it is number 12, but does not specify whether it is a Destructive or a Binding Spell although from the name and effect, it is highly likely to be a Binding spell. Note: After consideration, we have agreed to make this an official Bakudo spell. Of course, it is simply a net made of Reiatsu to 'catch' people in. It is also visible, as indicated by the Manga. Reference

Incantation: unknown.


15. Hikage Tomegane (Shadow Snap) -
With two fingers held up in the air, it appears as though the caster is about to throw a knowing knife, kunai, or shuriken. But there is nothing in their hand. After uttering the incantation, or for those advanced enough with the spell to not need to, the motion is then made to look as though they are throwing a knife, kunai, or shuriken. It is directed at the target's shadow, any where else and the spell is ineffective. Should it strike the targets shadow, the target becomes paralyzed and unable to move, and small shadow blade appears lodged into the target's shadow. However, should the targets shadow be moved the effect is nullified.

Incantation: "Lie still formless twin of your master."


21. Sekienton (Red Smoke Escape) -
Creates a blast upon activation and is used like a ninja's smoke bomb.

Incantation: unknown.


25. Soredemo Suchiiru (Still Steel) -
Another technique brought out through the feet, this effect is usually preformed on the caster, and is a bakudo used to help the caster. As soon as the kidou has been cast, a small radius of reiatsu brings itself under the casters feet, creating steel rods that snake themselves around their legs, keeping them stable for any work that requires it. Due to the nature of this kidou, the caster cannot move, or bend their legs. They are immovable, unless the ground underneath their feet is moved. To release themselves from this state, the user must re-cast the bakudo.

While this technique is relatively strong, it does not go very deep at all, and only requires about 15 cm of earth to perform. If the ground below that is moved too far, it is possible for the caster to be moved back, but they will not be knocked off their feet. It is possible to use this kido to stop yourself while sliding along the ground, but too much momentum will cause amazing amounts of pain, and possible broken limbs.

Incantation: "I wish to stay unto this place, give me the strength to stand."


26. Kyakko (Curving Light) -
Hides the target from sight, by bending light. The spell has the ability to totally hide the presence and reiatsu of the user or specified object.

Incantation: unknown.


30. Shitotsu Sansen (Beak-Stab Triple Beam) -
Forming a golden triangle with one's finger, it shoots three beams of light that pin the target to one place on a surface, slamming into his or her body in three places in a shape of a perfect triangle.

Incantation: unknown.


37. Tsuriboshi (Suspending Star) -
Creates a star-shaped cushion of Spiritual Energy, which anchors it to nearby objects with "ropes" of spirit particles. It can stop falling objects, acting like a safety net.

Incantation: unknown.


39. Enkosen (Arc Shield) -
Summons a shield of condensed reiatsu to block opponents' attacks.

Incantation: unknown.


49. Uzu
Tentacles made of light rise from beneath the target, the floor beneath the target must be lit up. The Tentacle swirl around the target of the spell and solidify into a thick yellowish brown binding which surrounds the target up to the chest immobilizing completely anything it surrounds. (Duration of two-four posts,15-25 foot radius depending on proficiency.)

Incantation: "Faithless dog of of blinded eyes, Flutter with binding wings and rise from the light"


58. Kakushitsuijaku ( Summoning of the Tracking Sparrows) -
Tracks and locates any spiritual force the user focuses on. To activate it, the user must draw a circle on the ground, cut into four parts with a specific character in each. The incantation animates the circle, causing various numbers to appear within until the specific set is found. The number set seems to be a variation on longitude and latitude.

Incantation: "Heart of the south, eye of the north, finger of the west, foot of the east, arrive with the wind and depart with the rain."


61. Rikujōkōrō (Six Rods Prison of Light) -
Summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection, holding them in place. The target is then unable to move any part of their body including the parts that were not struck by the beams.

Incantation: "Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six!"


62. Hyapporankan ( Hundred Steps Fence) -
A rod formed of energy is thrown towards the target before it disintegrates into numerous short rods which are used to pin the target to the surroundings and render them immobile.

Incantation: unknown


63. Sajo Sabaku (Locking Bondage Stripes) -
Similar to Bakud¨­ No. 4, but stronger, this spell binds the arms of a target According to Hachigen Ush¨­da, physical strength alone should not be enough to break out of a level 60 Bakud¨­, however Kensei Muguruma was able to free himself from this Kid¨­ while in his Hollow form.

Incantation: unknown.


70. Enkei Kyouzou Katachi (Circle of the Mirror Visage) -
This spell's sole purpose is to confuse the target so the spell caster can ambush them. The spell caster must remain stationary while the spell is in effect, if the spell caster moves within the 15 second time-frame is able to last, the effect ends. When it is cast ten exact images of the spell caster surround the target. However, each image is transparent and flash repeatedly at a rapid like a florescent light about to go out, and the images move around the target maintaining their circle though the image itself makes no motion. The spell caster themselves is hidden amongst the ten flashing transparent images as they round the target. It is very possible for the target to strike at an image and hit the right one concealing the spell caster, and with the spell caster unguarded from having to maintain the spell - this can cause great harm to the caster or even get them killed. However, if the caster is successful in confusing their target, it is quite possible for the caster to ambush the target before they can defend themselves; and therefore cause great injury or even potentially kill the target in the process. Though, again, once the 15 seconds are up or the spell caster moves the effect immediately ceases, and it is possible for the target to perceive the oncoming attack the second this happens.

Incantation: "Mirrors of the Underworld - take my visage and hide it amongst your reflections."


73. Tozansh¨­ (Falling Mountain Crystal) -
Creates an inverted pyramid-shaped barrier around the caster.

Incantation: unknown.


75. Goch¨±tekkan (Quintet of 1 kan Iron Pillars) -
Summons five incredibly tall and thick pillars which are connected to each other by chains to pin a target to the ground.

Incantation: "Walls of ironsand, a priestly pagoda, glowing ironclad fireflies. Standing upright, silent to the end."


77. Tenteik¨±ra ( Heavenly Rickshaws in Silken Air) -
Transmits messages mentally to anyone within an area of the caster's choosing. In addition to reciting the spell, the user must draw specific markings on their arms, which are animated by the spell to convey the messages. The messages can be spoken either by the caster or by another within the vicinity of the caster

Incantation: "Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens."


79. Kuyō Shibari ( Nine Sunlight Traps) -
Creates eight black holes that emit spiritual energy in the personal space surrounding the target, with a ninth black hole manifesting in the center of the targets chest.

Incantation: unknown.


81. Danku ( Splitting Void) -
Creates an energy barrier in the form of a rectangular wall. According to Byakuya, it is capable of stopping destructive spells up to #89. This is seen also when Aizen uses it to block Tessai's Had¨­ #88.

Incantation: unknown; although Tessai hinted that it has an incantation when he fights Aizen.


99, Part 1. Kin (½û, Seal) -
Binds the arms of a target to their back like Bakud¨­ #1, but with spiritual fabric and iron shafts.
Hachigen has displayed a far stronger version that ties the target's arms on the back in addition to wrapping the spiritual fabric around the entire body, and continues to pin the target with the spiritual fabric stacked to the ground around the target with several iron shafts in an "X" shape.

Incantation: unknown; although (Shinji Hirako hinted that there is an incantation).


99, Part 2. Bankin ( Great seal) -
This spell covers the target from head to toe with spiritual fabric (First Song), stabs them with numerous metal bolts (Second Song), and then smashes them with an immense metal cube (Final Song). The full power of the seal is still unknown as Ichigo broke the first two seals before the metal cube landed on him during his Shattered Shaft training.

Incantation:
First Song: Halting Fabric ( Shokyoku: Shiry¨±).
Second Song: Hundred Linked Bolts (Nikyoku: Hyakurensan). Final Song: Great Seal of 10,000 Forbiddings (Sh¨±kyoku: Bankin Taih¨­).

Hohōkō (歩法閧, Step Method Cry) -
Essentially a stop-method when traveling at high speeds. The user uses their spiritual energy and with a quick burst, is able to fully stop themselves at high speeds. While it may sound simple, the amount of energy used must equal the speed the user is traveling, and as such, is a rather difficult ability to master due to it's quick use. This can be used if the user is being knocked back and stop themselves abruptly without fear of crashing into anything or anyone, or traveling further from the fray. While it may be considered a form of Hohō due to its name, it is in fact classified as a self-binding spell.


Hakufuku (白伏, White Crawl) -
This technique muddles the consciousness of its target, causing them to black out. It is classified as a Binding spell.


Kyōmon (鏡門, Mirror Door) -
Tōshirō Hitsugaya used this to seal Momo Hinamori's hospital room. It creates a glass-like barrier which is difficult to break from the outside, but quite simple to break from the inside.


Shisō Kekkai (四葬結界, Quad Burial Barrier) -
This technique was used by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, and is the seal used to lock away Kōga Kuchiki. Four spears are used to trap the target by their hands and legs.

One of the few Kido spells that is sent through the feet, it is always paired with shunpou. After the incantation, the user flash-steps. As well as the usual effects of a shunpou, the kido creates a mass of reiatsu behind the user, that spreads out like a shock wave. When this shock wave collides with an enemy, it sends them flying. This hado is useful for clearing a crowd, while making your escape.

Incantation: "Put immense power beneath my feet, send all to oblivion with one shot!"


22. Shiushiuwatki (Howling Wind) -
By crossing the arms and thrusting them outward in a cross shape a shock wave consisting of elemental wind is sent out directly from the caster. The wave itself expands for about 3 meters before dispersing. This shock wave is generated around the entire body of the caster and only affects opponents that are within 1 meter of the caster.

In order to finish the spell, the user must then create an electrical current and charge the swirling ball of energy. As the charge enters into the forming ball of energy it glows a bright blue color, finally formed. The user is then able to manipulate the energy ball's size and energy output by pushing more power into it or pull from it. The energy ball grinds and electrocutes anything it touches and vanishes when the energy the use puts into it is used up. An expert practitioner is able to constantly feed more energy into the blast and continue to keep the attack up until they feel they must end it.

Incantation: "Elements of the Earth converge, through the force of will I command thee, soul of wind, soul of lightning, wrap together and force my enemy to flee!"


57. Inuhoozuki Kunai (Nightshade's Kunai)

Somewhat like Hikage Tomegane, the spell caster acts as though they are about to throw a projectile weapon of some kind as they recite the incantation or if they are advanced enough, simply do the act of seeming like they are tossing the projectile weapon. Once done eight shadowy objects in the basic form of kunai flying from the caster's hand at the target.

94. Tennou Hakai Honoo Ryuu Nami ( 天皇破壊炎龍波 Emperor Dragon Flame Destruction Wave) -
The user gathers an enormous amount of Reishi from their surroundings, combining it with their own hefty contribution of Reiatsu. This energy is then concentrated and pushed out through both hands in the form of an enormous blast of red, orange, and white energy. This blast destroys everything in it's path, completely incincerating everything it touches, then finally, resulting in a truly enormous explosion.

Only the most skilled of Kidou users are able to perform this technique. An inexperienced user may accidentally drain all of their energy in the attack, resulting in their death. An inexperienced user may also accidentally detonate the energy they gathered prematureally, causing a large explosion instead of a blast of energy.

Incantation: "Blood of my enemies spill, bones of my foe break, hell's fury is unleashed, demon's fire is poured into the world, damnation to all who see the masked one's face, all who rise against the flame, incineration and obliteration awaits!"

Hachigyō Sōgai (八爻双崖, Eight Joined Twin Cliffs)
A barrier developed by the Vizard Hachigen Ushōda. The barrier is a double dislocation barrier, which has the ability of erasing whatever is within it from existence and removing the space it takes up from an outsider's inner consciousness, making it so that one is not even able to perceive it is there. The very thought of getting close to it doesn't even occur to those outside it. It is so powerful and unique in composition that it cannot be undone by Shinigami Kidō.


Ryubi no Jōmon (竜尾の城門, The Gate of Dragon Tail)
Hachigen Ushōda used this barrier technique to block Barragan Luisenbarn's aging ability. The technique works by creating over a dozen pillars which are arranged by hand gestures, making them form a gigantic shield or door-like barrier between the caster and the opponent. Together with Koko no Jomon, Kigai no Jomon and Hoyoku no Jomon, it forms Shiji no Saimon.


Koko no Jōmon (虎咬の城門, The Gate of Tiger Fang)
This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard. This barrier appears out of nowhere and takes the shape of a watermill. It's inner section can be opened up like a set of fangs allowing one to attack through the barrier. Together with Ryubi no Jomon, Kikai no Jomon and Hoyoku no Jomon, it forms Shiji no Saimon.


Koko no Jōmon (虎咬の城門, The Gate of Tiger Fang)
This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard. This barrier appears out of nowhere and takes the shape of a watermill. It's inner section can be opened up like a set of fangs allowing one to attack through the barrier. Together with Ryubi no Jomon, Kikai no Jomon and Hoyoku no Jomon, it forms Shiji no Saimon


Kikai no Jōmon (亀鎧の城門, The Gate of Turtle Shell)
This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard. This barrier is created by many small hexagons combining to form a honeycomb-like structure. Together with Ryubi no Jomon, Koko no Jomon and Hoyoku no Jomon, it forms Shiji no Saimon


Hoyoku no Jōmon (鳳翼の城門, The Gate of Phoenix Wings)
This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard. This barrier is created from an obelisk and many planks combining to form a sort of lampshade resembling enfolding wings and a crude bird's head/body. Together with Ryubi no Jomon, Koko no Jomon and Kikai no Jomon, it forms Shiji no Saimon.


Shiji no Saimon (四獣の塞門, The Gate of Four Beasts)
This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard. This barrier is formed by combining Ryubi no Jomon, Koko no Jomon, Kikai no Jomon and Hoyoku no Jomon. When the four barriers come together, they create a rectangular prison-like barrier around the opponent.


Non-Spells



Shunkō (瞬閧, Flash Cry)
An advanced technique that combines hand-to-hand combat and Kidō energy to explosively increase a Shinigami's offensive capabilities. A high-pressured Kidō surges throughout the user's body, enhancing their arms and legs for battle. The Kidō itself can also be controlled and fired at opponents from the body. Shunkō first appeared being used by Captain Soifon in her fight against her old master, Yoruichi Shihōin. Soifon states she invented the technique of combining Kidō and Hakuda so recently that she had no experience with it in battle, let alone enough time to give it a name. Yoruichi, however, reveals Shunkō is the technique's name, and that she invented and learnt the ability long before Soifon. The keisen uniform has no back or sleeves because the fabric will rip apart when the user's back and arms are filled with Kidō. Though Yoruichi's Shunkō is perfected, unlike Soifon's version, she still has difficulties controlling it.


Hanki (反鬼, Reverse Demon)
This technique is an ability Yoruichi used during Shunkō, which nullifies an opponent's Kidō by hitting it with a Kidō of perfectly opposite speed and energy. The ability can even neutralize an opponent's movements. (Somewhat erroneously named Hanki Sōsai in the Viz translation, as sōsai (相殺) means "mutual cancellation", referring to the ability's effect.)


Kidōhō (鬼道砲, Kidō Cannon)
As the name suggests, the Kidō Cannon is basically a high-intensity energy weapon powered by Kidō. It consists of a crystalline focus point attached to the top of a massive pole, with several smaller crystal structures circling up towards the main one. It is powered by hundreds of Shinigami working in concert, creating an energy blast capable of obliterating a small dimension. The blast forms into several animal shapes which roar just before contact. The power of the blast is such that, in addition to destroying its target, it also causes a small amount of damage to both the Human world and Soul Society. Despite its power, it is not a reusable weapon, as it burns into a pile of scrap after being fired.
