Gintō (銀筒, Silver Tubes) are small containers which Quincy use to store their Reiryoku. They are utilized as components in Quincy spellcasting, resembling Kidō.

Overview[]

As their name suggests, Gintō are small silver tubes, approximately 5 centimeters in size. By condensing their Reiryoku into a liquid state, Quincy can store it within the tubes.[1] Despite being considered antiquated tools, they allow Quincy to perform special techniques powerful enough to subdue Hollows, though their effectiveness is dependent on the user.[2] These various attacks are triggered when the stored liquid Reiryoku is released.[1] Like Kidō, some of them are activated by calling out various commands.[3]

Geldschrank (封庫滅陣 (ゲルトシュランク), Gerutoshuranku; German for "Safe", Japanese for "Lock Box Destruction Formation")[4] This technique involves firing a single Seele Schneider at the intended target, which then stops in mid-air, surrounding the opponent with a high density barrier of Reishi. Minuscule cuts created by Seele Schneider cause Reishi to flow out of the target's body, and the user then throws a Gintō at the Seele Schneider, causing the barrier to implode before creating an enormous explosion.[5] THVGeldschrank
