Hohō

is an important skill for most shinigami. , a movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow, is implied to be part of this category. . Another skill, though not necessarily related, is the Shinigami ability to walk on air using spiritual power. By collecting and solidifying Reishi beneath their feet, Shinigami can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling. The agility and speed of Hohō can be enhanced and improved through mastery of it, concentration, and training.
