Summary
Bleachis a series that has become mainstream once again after its final arc was finally adapted into an anime that did justice to Kubo’s epic fights. The Thousand-Year Blood War is shaping up to be one ofBleach’s crowning moments, even if some manga fans are worried about the course the ending will take.
Given the sheer number of amazing battles in the series, it’s easy to assume that the majority of techniques inBleachare used solely in combat. However, there are moments when some techniques are useful in a given situation outside of combat.
8Keikaigi
Helps Create A Portal To The Garganta
Traveling to Hueco Mundo is easier said than done, given that this space is essentially a version of Hell that needs to be closed off from the other two worlds. Thankfully, there’s an elaborate Kido spell that can be used to access this location via the Garganta.
Keikaigi is a Kido spell Urahara uses to open up a portal to a Garganta that can send anyone to Hueco Mundo. It may only appear once in the series but makes a solid impact as a useful non-combat technique inBleach.
7Sentan Hakuja
An Elaborate Way To Teleport From One Place To Another
Bleachhas a ton of style, to the point where the simple act of teleportation looks amazing. This particular technique is used by both Tosen and Gin to teleport anyone within the spiral they’ve created.
Itallows Aizen to appear and disappear dramatically, further adding to his allure as a villain. Given how important it can be to cross distances as quickly as possible inBleach, it’s easy to see why the Sentan Hakuja can be a useful way to move from one location to the other without any problems.
6Kyokko
A Kido Spell That Helps Conceal The User
Sometimes, outright battles don’t solve disputes. There are times when skulking in the shadows and gathering information is important, and this issomething Aizen excels in.
After all, he’s a master of the Kido spell Kyokko, allowing him to eavesdrop on conversations back when he used to reside in Soul Society. He may be caught once, but this instance makes it clear that Aizen’s master plan was a long time in the making and involved a fair bit of stealth to help this nefarious villain come one step closer to his goal.
5Noren Mekuri
Helps Negate Any Illusions
It’s a shame that the Visored were unfairly thrown out of Soul Society after becoming the twisted subject ofAizen’s forced Hollowfication. They were exiled from their homes and had to hide out on Earth to learn the best way possible to control their powers.
Aizen needed these people out of Soul Society since they’d come the closest to uncovering his treachery. After all, Shinji’s tactical use of Noren Mekuri allowed him to uncover a hidden Aizen who was trying to spy on them, making him seem even more suspicious.
4Teleportation
A Swift And Efficient Way To Teleport
After merging with the Hogyoku, Aizen received powers that arguably made him the strongest shinigami to ever exist inBleach. As his body got attuned to the Hogyoku inside him, Aizen developed the ability to teleport from one location to another almost instantly.
This should’ve served as a taste of his incredible powers, butIchigo’s random power-upensured that Aizen’s true potential would never see the light of day. A single Mugetsu was all it took for one of the best villains in shonen history to see his triumphant run come crashing down.
3Kaido
Healing Kido Techniques That Are Useful For Obvious Reasons
Kido is a form of magic that can be used in various ways. This includes healing as well, with restorative Kido spells collectively being known as Kaido. Given how many times the shinigami inBleachare wounded time and time again, it’s easy to see why Retsu Unohana and the Fourth Division were critical to ensuring the survival of Soul Society.
The captain’s mastery over Kaido plays a huge roleduring her fight with Kenpachi, where she brings the monstrous shinigami to the brink of death multiple times before healing him. Her gamble worked, and Kenpachi finally learned the true name of his Zanpakuto, allowing him to be a force to be reckoned with against the Quincy.
2Shunpo
Helps Shinigami Move At Breakneck Speeds
Most people assume that the only use of Shunpo is to move quickly in combat without being outpaced by the opposition. However, mastering the Flash Step is important for shinigami who want to cover huge distances in record time outside of combat too.
This can be seen when Ichigo uses his mastery of Shunpo to cover the distance between Seiretei and the Soul King’s Palace in record time, allowing him to aid the shinigami in this battle when they needed him the most. If teleportation is impossible, then pushing one’s Shunpo skills to the max is the way to go.
1The Almighty
A Precognitive Technique That Has The Ability To Change The Future
The Almighty is one of the mostoverpowered techniques inBleach. Yhwach uses it in battle all the time to change the future and negate any critical damage, but that’s far from the only way the Almighty can be used.
It gives people a glimpse into the future and lets them rewrite fate, which makes it a useful technique both in and out of combat. The fact that Jugram became a force to be reckoned with when Yhwach slept and passed on the power of The Almighty to him shows just how formidable this technique is inBleach.
