Kaname Tōsen
Cry. Suzumushi.
“My eyes can only see one path, and that is the path with the least bloodshed.”
TLDR
The misanthropic and righteous Squad 9 Captain. His counters are enhanced by sharpened perceptions. Uses hit-and-run actions and once Awakened creates a personal barrier that obstructs the opponent's vision. Suited for predicting opponents' attacks and using Flash Attacks to fall back and then fly forward, or using his Signature Move to ward off attacks and counter. Once Awakened he cannot be seen by opponents, so try using Flash Attacks to strike at unprepared foes, or launch a powerful offensive with Breakers to achieve victory.
Overview
Former Captain of Squad 9 who follows Aizen despite his strong sense of justice. Blind since birth, Tōsen's pursuit of justice is paradoxically driven by a desire for revenge, leading him down a path of betrayal. As a Short Range fighter, he combines Melee combat with unique Ranged abilities, utilizing Gimmick mechanics that reflect his unique sensory abilities - After Awakening, his Bankai, 'Suzumushi Tsuishiki: Enma Korogi', activats his core Gimmick mechanic, which transports both players to a new arena temporarily and restricts the opponents' field of vision. His Trickster playstyle allows him to disorient opponents while setting up devastating combinations. With high Technique, moderate Speed and Defense, but lower Power and Range, Tōsen excels at confusing opponents before striking with precise attacks.
