Sonído

is a technique used by Arrancar which lets them move at extreme speeds, thus being similar to the form of Hohō (or flash steps as they are called in the English Dub) which only Shinigami can use. While somewhat similar to Hohō, Sonido seems more instinctual than Hohō, requiring no previous knowledge to perform. As shown in the case of Ichigo being capable of using it with skill enough to sneak up on the 4th Espada in his new transformation, though having no previous knowledge or capability of its use.

Variations

 * Zommari Leroux is the only Arrancar shown to have been able to use this technique and it allows him to create clones of himself. Up to 5 clones can be created using this technique. Due to this Zommari claims that he is the fastest Espada this however may not be true due to their being 6 more Espada of higher rank than himself.
