Bleach: Shunpo, Explained

Of the various combat skills that Shinigami need to acquire in Tite Kubo’s Bleach — which includes Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kido — there are few as important as Hoho or movement techniques. This subset of defensive maneuvers governs footwork and other movements to gain positional advantages in combat, conferring heightened speed and agility when mastered to their fullest. Among them, the most potent expression of this skill set lies in the art of Shunpo, also known as “Flash Step.”
