Sonído (
Description[]
While somewhat similar to Hohō in regards to function and speed, Sonído appears to be more instinctual, seemingly requiring no previous knowledge to perform.[2] It produces a different sound; rather than the swishing or sometimes silent Shunpo of the Shinigami, Sonído makes a booming or static noise visualized as "bun" (ブン).[2][3] Though the technique is exhibited by most Arrancar, the proficiency with which it can be performed is limited only by the individual, with Zommari Rureaux possessing the fastest Sonído among the Espada.[4] Coyote Starrk is also a notable user of Sonído, being able to cover tremendous distances at such speed that his Sonído seems akin to teleportation.[5]

Sonído Experts[]
Experts of the technique are considerably fast, and can maintain high speed movements for extended periods of time. While not as fast as a master, they can keep up quite effectively. Some holding the title are faster than others, but, nonetheless, their application of the technique is highly advanced. | ||||||
Sonído Users[]
These practitioners can quickly cross considerable distances, but either intentionally use the technique sparingly or have not performed it frequently enough to properly determine skill level. | ||||||

Trivia[]
- While the accurate spelling of the word in Spanish would be "Sonido", it is spelled as "Sonído" in official translations.[6]
Klub Outside Trivia[]
- According to Q&A #685 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", as opposed to Shunpo, which is performed through training the physical body, and Hirenkyaku, which is performed through training the ability to manipulate Reishi, Sonído is executed by converting the Reishi within the body into “something that is not Reishi”. This allows Sonído users to bypass the senses of their opponent.[7]
Appearances in Other Media[]
Ryōgo Narita's novel Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World establishes that Sonído differs from Hohō and Hirenkyaku by not exerting any Reiatsu during use, thereby making the user more difficult to detect when moving. Due to this, Sonído is more practical for hit-and-run tactics.[8]
