Yes. As for the statement 'reminds me of Sode no Shirayuki from the (non canon) rebellion arc' then yes, it seems that Kubo did have some creative input as that is exactly the way the spirit is drawn only its Rukia in the form instead. Looks better on her! No doubt. At this point in the game, we don't need to see anybody spamming what we already know from their abilities so, this was VERY refreshing...to say the least.
