Renji Abarai

  • Roar! Zabimaru!

“I haven't been fighting to defeat you. I've been fighting to win!”

TLDR

The hothead, but caring, Squad 6 Lieutenant. Trounces foes in battle using his blade's variable length. A rare fighter that is balanced and able to fight from any range. Especially strong in mid-to-long-range combat with his astonishing Signature Move 'Sweep'. You will be left wide open, however, so it's important to use it in conjunction with other moves. Also, his Awakened state boasts overwhelming reach and attack power, letting him heavily sway the course of battle. However, his abilities decrease once his Bankai is gone, so make sure to time his Awakening carefully.

Overview

Lieutenant of Squad 6 under Captain Kuchiki, Renji's fierce determination drives him to constantly improve. Childhood friends with Rukia Kuchiki, he strives to surpass his Captain while maintaining his street-smart attitude and loyalty to his friends. As a Hybrid Range fighter, he combines powerful Melee attacks with unique Ranged abilities, featuring a Giant Summon through his Awakening, that allows him to sweep massive areas of the battlefield using his Bankai, Hihio Zabimaru. His Balanced playstyle allows him to adapt to various situations while maintaining consistent pressure. With high Speed and Range, good Power and Defense, but lower Technique, Renji excels at overwhelming opponents with his small but consistent moveset and extending combos.
