Shuren

is a resident of Hell. He leads a group of three other Togabito. He is an antagonist of the fourth Bleach movie.

Appearance
Like other Togabito, he wears a white body suit with unusual square patterns with black fabric wrapped around his left leg, a cloak and red chains and shackles on his neck and chest. He also wears the standard mask the known members seem to wear, although he wears his on his chest. He has purple hair parted in a long fringe on the left side of his face.

Personality
Shuren seems to be very confident and flamboyant, as well as arrogant. He is confident he can manipulate Ichigo by holding his sister to ransom, proving himself as cruel and calculating. In the special chapter, he seems arrogant towards the Arrancar he faces, and calls them 'useless' and 'disposable'. He is referred to by Szayel Aporro as being conceited.

Powers & Abilities
Keen Intellect: Shuren is shown to have some knowledge of the Espada and their techniques, as he was able to readily identify a Gran Rey Cero.

Enhanced Speed: Shuren is capable of moving at high speeds, even capable of catching Szayel Aporro Granz, an Espada-level Arrancar, off-guard.

High Spiritual Power: Shuren shows his power by taking down Szayel Aporro in Hell and seemingly taking no damage from a point blank Gran Rey Cero.

Flame Manipulation: Shuren has demonstrated the ability to generate and manipulate fire from the palms of his hands for a variety of effects, ranging from creating high-speed projectiles of fire to summoning forth a lance-like flame which he has demonstrated its use as a close-range weapon. Shuren is also capable of using his flames to deflect enemy attacks - as shown when he managed to counter a Getsuga Tenshō by using a steady stream of fire as a makeshift barrier. He can also produce doppelgängers of himself, entirely composed of flames.

Appearances in Other Media
Shuren appears as a playable character in Bleach: Heat the Soul 7.

4th Movie Tie-In
When Szayel Aporro Granz and Aaroniero Arruruerie fall down to the third level of Hell, Shuren towers over them from a high rock. Shuren takes Szayel by surprise, and informs the two Espada that they are in Hell. Aaroniero demands that Shuren come down to face them, but Shuren merely states they would kill him if they did so. Shuren mocks their predicament, explaining that they are both already dead. Szayel regains his composure, thanking Shuren for reminding him about his defeat at the hands of Mayuri Kurotsuchi. He then uses Sonido to appear above Shuren, attacking him forthwith. Shuren informs Szayel that there is no way to escape Hell, introducing his comrades to them. Whilst Aaroniero is defeated by Taikon, Szayel charges up a Gran Rey Cero at Shuren, which his opponent identifies.

Shuren asks if his Cero is a surefire way of defeating him, but Szayel merely states that he doesn't mind turning him to dust. Shuren then realizes that Szayel has judged him unnecessary, prompting Shuren to reveal he has done the same. After Szayel and Aaroniero lie defeated, Shuren confirms that their strength was insufficient to open the Gates of Hell. He then pulls out a lantern, which displays Ichigo Kurosaki's final Hollowfication form. Shuren states that they will bring Ichigo down to Hell.
