Shinji Hirako

  • Collapse. Sakanade...

“Everything is opposite. Upside down, left is right, up is down. That's the way my world works.”

TLDR

Leader of 'The Vizard', a band of outlaws. A cunning strategist who smoothly outwits foes. Can control strategy in close combat and seize the initiative. His Signature Move can be charged by holding the Signature Move input to switch between unguardable attacks and invincibility, requiring you to consider the situation. His Special Flash Attack covers a large distance, and you can hold the input to act first even if it's guarded.

Overview

Former Captain of Squad 5 who was exiled from Soul Society after Aizen Sosuke's betrayal, where he forcibly Hollowfied Shinji and his colleagues. His laid-back attitude masks both deep tactical intelligence and lingering bitterness, as his unique powers reflect his reversed worldview. As a Short Range fighter, he utilizes precise Melee combat with a unique Trickster playstyle. His Stance mechanics revolve around swapping between Sakanade and his sealed Zanpakuto, confusing his opponents, while his Rushdown capabilities allow him to capitalize on their confusion. With balanced stats favoring Power, Shinji excels at disorienting opponents before striking with devastating combos.
