Forum:Shunko

This just came to me. Why didn't Soi Fon use Shunko against Barragan? It's a more assasin type move and since it covers her whole arm, wouldn't it have acted like a barrier against respira? Sort of like when respira hit hachi's mask and only the mask detiorated, not his face. What do you think?

Because she is no good at it? I know they keep using it in the movies but her Shunko is actually incomplete as Yoruichi pointed out by displaying a proper Shunko. In addition, now that Soifon understands what Shunko really is (i.e. not something Soifon invented herself) she understands that she has a long way to go before she can properly use it in combat. Therefore, no Soifon would not use Shunko against anyone any time soon. However the reason she didn't use it against Barragan was probably as simple as hand to hand combat was useless against Barragan because as soon as you got close to him, his "time acceleration" field kicked into gear and as such there wouldn't be any point to her using her Shunko.
