Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shingami
Dashing
A most basic technique that allows the user to throw him/herself at an angle which their stance directs. Based on an individual's attributes, dashing can be quite a fast move instead of running. Also depending on the distance, dashing can be quite useful if in closer range to the opponent. Wise timing could see you escaping some harsh damage at the last moment.

Shunpo - Flash Step
A movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. The user forces a stream of energy in front of them, along a path of their choosing, then takes one step into the stream. They are then propelled exceptionally fast through the stream to reappear at the opposite side. Whilst in the stream it is very hard to spot the user's movements unless you are an equal or higher rank. Shunpo can easily be used to almost instantly move from one place to another.

Air Walk
The ability to walk on air using spiritual energy. By collecting and solidifying Spiritual Particles beneath their feet, Soul Reapers can gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling. It cannot necessarily be used very often, especially for officers. It is an ability that can only be temporarily used but cannot last for a very long period of time. For Lieutenants however, they can stay on air for quite a bit longer. For captains, it can be held for quite a long while considering the great amount of Reiatsu within a Captain-ranking individual.


Seiten - Soul Flash
Seiten is a technique that combines Shunpo (Flash Step) and a Kido Incantation. This technique grants the user the ability to Shunpo closer to the adversary when releasing the spell, after the incantation. It's purpose is to surprise the adversary. For Lieutenants, Seiten is nearly perfected. It can be used up to three times before almost complete exhaustion and fatigue follows. Five times for captains. This technique is limited because of it's difficulty. The amount of focus and the energy drain takes a massive toll on the body.

Senka - Flash Blossom
Although Shunpo is connected with this ability, this technique possess a unique name and style of its own. This technique is known as Senka (闪花, Flash Blossom), a Flash Step combined with a spin to quickly move behind the enemy, followed by a strike aimed to destroy the Saketsu Chain and the Hakusui Soul Sleep with a combination of two quick sword thrusts. This technique is one of the two that Youruichi developed mixing Shunpo to complete its ability. Senka can be performed without the particular sword attacks though, simply to Flash Step behind an enemy, and make it so that you face towards their back.

Utsusemi
This technique is one of the most difficult speed abilities of them all. Furthermore, this is also one of the two that Youruichi developed as well. It is the 4 ways of the Shihou through Shunpo which is also known as "Utsusemi". It's ability is a speed known to be so fast that the user leaves an afterimage of him/herself. Its affect is most absolute, superb, and flawless if ever fully perfected. And to be more specific, Utsusemi's speed is so fast, that the enemy can practically feel and touch the physical body of the afterimage and not even know the very fact that it is nothing more but an afterimage. Its very image can easily deceive the eyes of the enemy. This technique is very rare, thus few captains are able to possess such a flawless ability. Furthermore it is most lethal when combining Senka after Utsusemi is executed. Utsusemi can even be used to evade damage, leaving behind an afterimage to take the strike. The assailant can even feel their blade hitting the afterimage as if it were real, before it blurs away to nothingness.

Rei Senkou - Phantom Flash
We all know that Utsusemi is like a substitution or after-image technique using high speeds to move to another area of the playing field and leave an image of yourself behind or a complete substitute doll in a sense. This technique utilizes this to the ultimate level in which you move with steps as silent as a flower in the wind and leave multiple images as you go, your main body looking as if the image is falling off of you like a stream before standing alone in it's stationary place. Moving faster will cause them to be in a spot instantly and moving the right way can cause your images to move as well. It can be as if you have several afterimages, each moving on their own. Such a speed ability is heavily taxing on the body, though.
