Shinji Hirako is a male character with a blond hair and bobbed hair. He is characterized by speaking in the Western dialect of Japan called Kansai dialect, and when he first appeared, he appeared as a transfer student at the school where the main character Ichigo attends. During the self-introduction of the class, he wrote his names in mirror letters, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

Actually, like Ichigo, Hirako is a character who can be Hollowed, and Aizen made him that way. He taught Ichigo, who still couldn't control the Hollow in himself, how to control the Hollow. He was originally a member of The Thirteen Court Guard Squads, but after Aizen made her a Hollowed test subject, he and his companions escaped to this world. After that, he worked with Kisuke Urahara in Karakura Town to study how to control Hollowing.

After defeating Aizen, he became the 5th Division Commander of The Thirteen Court Guard Squads. Even after taking office, he has a caring personality that cares about Ichigo, and he is acting together with Hiyori Sarugaki.

When Hirako appeared, I thought he was Ichigo's enemy.

He taught Ichigo how to control Ichigo's Hollow with stern instruction, but he still has a gentle personality that cares about him.

About Hirako Shinji Zanpakutou

Shikai:Sakanade (逆撫)

Hirako's Shikai
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

His Zanpakutou name is Sakanade, written in kanji "逆撫", It meaning is “to deliberately irritate the opponents.” This Zanpakutou's ability is to reverse the actions of the opponent who smells the sweet scent emitted from the sword.

For example, when this Zanpakutou ability is activated, if you try to walk forward, you will be backwards, or if you try to move the sword from left to right, it will move from right to left. It's a very frustrating ability, and if you're addicted to this technique, you won't be able to fight as you want. Triger command is "Fall down".

in the work, Hirako used this Zanpakutou against Aizen, but it was dealt with within a few minutes and was knocked down. Aizen's Zanpakutou is also a hypnotic Zanpakutou like Hirako, and Hirako's Zanpakutou was defeated because Aizen's Zanpakutou was upward compatible and Aizen's combat ability was simply too strong.

However, it is said by viewers that just turning Zanpakutou's ability on and off with a purely strong zanpakutou might be strong.

It was disappointing that he was easily defeated in the anime.

His Zanpakutou seems to be difficult to handle in the places and situations where it is used.

Bankai : Sakashima Yokoshima Happouhusagari(逆様邪八宝塞)

Hirako's Bankai
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Next, Hirako's Zanpakutou Bankai is Sakashima Yokoshima Happouhusagari (逆様邪八宝塞), the meaning of the kanji is ”Sakashima(逆様)” = Upside down or upside down order of things, ”Yokoshima(邪)” = insane, ”HappouHusagari(八宝塞)” = No way out.

It is an ability that raises the ability of Shikai, and those who fall into this ability of Bankai will not know whether they are enemies or allies. In other words, it will attack allies, so if you activate it against a large number of enemies, you can annihilate them by killing each other. However, since it will also activate on allies, it can only be used when there are no allies around when it is activated.

There was no scene used in the Manga, but in the Anime you can see Hirako's Bankai scene as an original version in The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc. It's very cool, so please watch hirako highlight scene.

I'm so impressed that Animator created an original Bankai scene in the anime! !

Hirako's Hollow Power & Visord Member

Hirako's Hollow power
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Hirako can control Hollow's powers at will. He can put on or take off the mask of Arrancar, and when wearing the mask of Arrancar he can use the powers of Arrancer. For example, it is possible to release Cero that was used by Arrancer to improve simple ability up power and speed improvement Arrancer.

Hirako is also Visored captain. Visords are people who have been unintentionally given the power of the Hollow by Aizen. They were expelled from Soul Society due to their Hollow powers, but with the help of Kisuke Urahara, they went into hiding in Karakura Town and trained to control their Hollow powers.

What is Hirako Shinji Battle Record?

Shinji hirako scene
(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Hirako's Battle Record
OpponentsResults
VS Grimmjow JaegerjaquesDraw
VS Sousuke AizenLOSE
VS Bambietta BasterbineLOSE
VS Gerard ValkyrieLOSE

Hirako's Battle record is 0 win, 3 lose, 1 draw.

Hirako's Zanpakutou is reasonably strong, but if there are people around him, he'll get involved, so he's fighting without using Bankai's ability, so he keeps losing. Also, Aizen, Bambietta, Gerard, etc. were all out of the norm, so I got the impression that Hirako was forced to fight against opponents who weren't compatible with each other.

He says that in his Zanpakutou, Shikai is good for strong person and Bankai is very effective against low-ranking soldiers.

Hirako's Poem & Famous Saying

It's too early to believe(Volume 36)

Everything in this world exists to drive you into a corner(Volume 21)

Those in a position of authority should understand the feelings of those under them, but should not read their facial expressions.(Episode 207)
