Seppa

is technique used by Ganju Shiba while utilizing his Earth Magic abilities.

Description
Ganju uses Earth Magic to activate this ability. By moving his hand in the same pattern as the trembling current, the sign of the Shiba clan, Ganju can reduce anything he touches to sand. He normally uses this as a delay tactic, blasting through walls in order to run away, but he has demonstrated that it has other potential uses in a fight; such as when he used it to sink Ichigo's Zangetsu into the ground up to the handle, effectively rendering it useless. He can also perform Seppa with his feet. He has also shown the ability to project a Seppa in order to break the fall of himself and Ichigo upon arriving in Seireitei.
