Gonzui (
Description[]
As the practitioner inhales as if they were drawing in a large quantity of air, the souls of beings in a large radius around them are drawn into their mouth so they may be ingested, increasing the user's Reiryoku in the process, while resulting in the immediate death of any afflicted victims. After devouring a significant quantity of Human souls surrounding him in a single breath, Yammy Llargo stated the taste was horrible, with Ulquiorra Cifer saying it was to be expected from such weak souls.[1]
Spiritually aware Humans, or mediums, appear to be immune to Gonzui, as Tatsuki Arisawa, Orihime Inoue, and Yasutora Sado were all unaffected by the technique as opposed to non-spiritually aware people.[1][2] However, in the former's case, this one instance of Gonzui was strong enough to cause her to experience great fear and a complete loss of physical energy, followed by a loss of consciousness shortly after.[1]
Trivia[]
- "Gonzui" means striped eel catfish (Plotosus japonicus) in Japanese.
- Gonzui is the only Arrancar ability whose name is of Japanese origin, rather than Spanish or English.
