| Bala (虚弾(バラ), Bara?, Japanese for "hollow bullet," Spanish for "bullet") is an arrancar alternative to the cero. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires like a bullet. Though weaker than a cero blast, it moves twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate.[13]
Cero (虚閃(セロ), Sero?, Japanese for "hollow flash," Spanish for "zero", labeled as "Doom Blast" in the Viz manga) are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as the mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only menos, arrancar, and vizard have so far been shown to use cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. Various arrancar and hollow characters display variants of the technique, such as the Espada-exclusive gran rey cero (王虚の閃光(グラン・レイ・セロ), guran rei sero?, Japanese for "royal hollow flash," Spanish for "great king zero")[14] and Pesche Guatiche and Dondochakka Bilstin's cero sincrético (融合虚閃(セロ・シンクレティコ), sero shinkuretiko?, Japanese for "united hollow flash," Spanish for "synchronized zero").
Garganta (黒腔(ガルガンタ), Garuganta?, Japanese for "black cavity," Spanish for "throat") is how arrancar move to and from Hueco Mundo. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.[15] Kaname Tōsen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use garganta; Mayuri Kurotsuchi explains that Soul Society cannot do this because they haven't researched the technique.
Hierro (鋼皮(イエロ), Iero?, Japanese for "steel skin," Spanish for "iron") refers to the hardened skin of the arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power.[16] While their skin is strong enough to block even released zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger arrancar have proportionally stronger skin. Negación (反膜(ネガシオン), Negashion?, Japanese for "counter-membrane," Spanish for "deny") fields are used to rescue fellow hollows. Only the gillian-class menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the menos that created the field.[17] Espada have a special cube-shaped device called Caja Negación (反膜の匪(カハ・ネガシオン), Kaha Negashion?, Japanese for "negation of counter-membrane," Spanish for "Negation Box") meant to simulate negación fields, which are used to punish their subordinates if necessary. The cube, when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it's being used as intended. More powerful arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time.[18]
Pesquisa (探査回路(ペスキス), Pesukisu?, Japanese for "inquiry circuit," Spanish for "inquiry") is the arrancar equivalent of the shinigami ability to sense spiritual pressure.[19]
Sonido (響転(ソニード), Sonīdo?, Japanese for "resounding revolution," Spanish for "sound") is the arrancar equivalent of the Soul Reapers' flash steps and the Quincy hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances.[20] Use of sonido is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for flash steps.
Gonzui (魂吸(ゴンズイ), gonzui?, Japanese for "soul breath") is a skill that sucks the souls from living humans en masse. It affects a wide area, but anyone with even a small amount of spiritual energy can resist it. Yammy is the only arrancar seen using it, but it is suggested in the Arrancar Encyclopedia segment that Gonzui is a generic skill shared by all arrancar. | |
