Spiritual Threads (Shinigami Technique)


 * For other anime-exclusive techniques called Spiritual Threads, see Spiritual Threads

Spiritual Threads is a technique used by the Shinigami rebel, Kōga Kuchiki.

Description
By pointing his weapon at his target, Kōga can create spiritual threads and manipulate them to immobilize his opponent. Though these spiritual threads are invisible to the naked eye, they can be seen in the shadows cast on nearby surfaces, and Kōga states they work by capturing his opponent's shadow instead of simply their reflection, preventing them from being easily destroyed by a reflection being distorted. The threads can only be cut by the shadows of weapons instead of the weapons themselves.
