Kaien Shiba
Rage Through the Seas and Heavens! Nejibana!
“The heart isn't something inside you. But whenever you think, whenever you remember someone, that's when the heart is born.”
TLDR
Former Squad 13 Lieutenant with a warm smile. Controls the flow of battle with superior technique. Can battle from afar by taking advantage of his attack reach. His Dashing Quick Attacks have great distance and speed. His Flash Attacks also move in a lot, letting him hit from far away. You can play aggressively since his Special Flash ATtacks (when charged) leave only a small opening even when they're guarded.
Overview
The Lieutenant of Squad 13, a charismatic and upbeat individual responsible for mentoring Rukia Kuchiki, and is a beloved member of his Squad, dilligently serving Jushiro Ukitake. Kaien starts the match in the `Normal Stance (A)`, but as the match kicks off, Kaien's kit emerges, revolving around his `Current Aura State Stance (B)` - By landing his Signature Move `Tumbling Current` or his Spiritual Pressure Move `Sorei Suiha`, he enters the `Current Aura State Stance (B)` - When in this Stance, his `Current Aura State Gauge` is consumed slowly, as Kaien deals more damage, lands more hits, and deals more Guard Gauge damage whilst the Gauge still has resources.
