Uses
Defensive use
When two spiritual beings collide, the side with weaker spiritual pressure will get hurt. (Ex: When Ichigo Kurosaki fights
Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain opened up the chest area of his Shihakushō, and ordered Ichigo to cut him. When attacking
with all his strength, Ichigo found Kenpachi uninjured, while his own hands were bleeding. As his sword that is highly
concentrated for the purpose of killing, the spiritual pressure that Kenpachi subconsciously releases is much, much
stronger). It was not until he increased his own reiatsu that he was able to cut Zaraki. With sufficient enough power,
Shinigami can use their own reiatsu to harden their skin, and effectively protect themselves from attacks.
Psychological use
Ichigo's interpretation of Zaraki's Reiatsu
* Fear: Reiatsu at its most basic level can instill fear in others when it is very high (in comparison to the one feeling it).
Willpower is the simplest way to fight this method.
* When Ichigo fought Kenpachi for the first time he felt it was impossible to win, making his reiatsu far weaker than
normal. Kurosaki was able to fight Zaraki only once he was able to counter with his reiatsu.
* When Nanao Ise stared into the eyes of Captain-Commander Yamamoto she felt it was impossible to win.
* Stunning: High level of spiritual power can cause those of lower power to be stunned by simply being in the presence
of a high level spiritual being.
* It is not uncommon for Humans and souls alike to get the wind knocked out of them by simply being near a spiritual
being with a high level of spiritual pressure.
* Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure was so high that Hanatarō Yamada fell to his knees, Ganju Shiba could barely
stand upon coming into 20 feet of him.
* Paralysis: When a Spiritual being of high reiatsu chooses to they can paralyze an opponent just by focusing pressure
through their stare.
* Yamamoto stares directly into Lieutenant Nanao Ise's eyes paralyzing her from movement.
* Sōsuke Aizen and Gin Ichimaru have also been shown to be able to use this ability.
* Phantom Pain: High level of spiritual pressure can make an opponent feel as though they are being attacked though
nothing is physically happening to them.
* Captain Zaraki went after who he thought was the strongest of the intruders, Ichigo Kurosaki. As Ichigo and his group
ran, he felt like there was a sword to his neck, following no matter how fast they ran.
* Upon coming face to face with Kenpachi, Ichigo literally felt like he was just stabbed, but in reality, he simply saw
just how massive Kenpachi's killing intent was.
Offensive use
* Damage: Lieutenant Renji Abarai and Captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya released their limiters, unleashing a huge amount of
spiritual pressure. Both Shawlong Kūfang and Yylfordt Granz were slightly frozen and burned respectively. During the
fight with Szayel Aporro Granz, Renji once again used spiritual pressure transferred through his blade in order to injure
the Espada. His reiatsu was able to cut his face since he was holding Zabimaru so close. This use only occurs when the
user is releasing a large amount of energy at once or in an emotional state.
* Killing: In high enough quantities, spiritual pressure can be lethal to others. After his second Hōgyoku-induced
transformation, Sōsuke Aizen's reiatsu was so powerful that it reduced a nearby Human to ash when he approached him.
Similarly, Coyote Starrk's reiatsu killed a massive number of Hollows, simply because they got too close to him.
Are there rules to cover these abilities?
