Overview

Cero (虚閃 (セロ), Sero; Spanish for "Zero", Japanese for "Hollow Flash"; Viz "Doom Blast") is an attack used by Menos, Arrancar, and Visored.

Description[]

The practitioner fires a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy at the target. While in most cases it is fired from the mouth, some Arrancar and Visored can fire Cero from their hands, fingers, and other parts of their bodies. This often requires the user to take on a specific pose, with Coyote Starrk being the only known exception.[1]

The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength, spiritual power, and sometimes skill of the user (i.e., the stronger the user, the stronger the attack), and there are some Arrancar who have come up with their own variation of Cero. The charging and firing time for Cero varies greatly, from charging relatively fast to firing it to instantaneously firing one without much charging.

Cero Color Variations[]

Most Cero are a red color when used by Hollows, Visored or Arrancar. While most Cero are commonly red/crimson, several Arrancar have shown various colors.

Appearances in Other Media[]

  • In Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, when Yin and Yang were transformed into empowered Hollow forms by the power of the Ōin, they could fire off unique Cero completely composed of their respective elements of electricity and fire instead of spiritual energy. They could also fire smaller versions of such Cero at a much more rapid rate.[2]
