Shunkō

is an advanced battle technique which combines the physical techniques of Hakuda with the spell-based techniques of Kidō.

Description
Shunkō is the highest form of Hakuda technique. It comes in elements such as 'wind' or 'lightning'. It is an ultra-powerful technique in which one drives Kidō into one's arms and legs. The Kidō itself can be controlled and fired at opponents from the body. Shunkō was first used by Captain Suì-Fēng in her fight against her old master, Yoruichi Shihōin. Suì-Fēng states she invented the technique of combining Kidō and Hakuda so recently she had no experience with it in battle, let alone enough time to give it a name. Yoruichi, however, reveals Shunkō is the technique's name, and she invented and learned the ability long before Suì-Fēng. The keisen uniform has no back or sleeves because the fabric will rip apart when the user's back and arms are filled with Kidō. Though Yoruichi's Shunkō is perfected, she still has difficulties controlling it. The uniform worn when punishment is carried out is specifically geared for Shunkō.
