Sonído

Sonído (響転 (ソニード), Sonīdo; ; ; Spanish for "Sound", Japanese for "Sound Ceremony") is a technique used by Arrancar which allows them to move at extreme speeds, making it highly similar to the Hohō (or Flash Steps as they are called in the English Dub) that Shinigami use. While somewhat similar to Hohō, Sonído appears to be more instinctual than Hohō, requiring no previous knowledge to perform. It also makes a different sound; rather than the swishing or sometimes silent Flash Step of the Shinigami, Sonído makes a booming or static sound.

Variations

Gemelos Sonído (双児響転 (ヘメロス・ソニード), Hemerosu Sonīdo; ; ; Spanish for "Sound Twins", Japanese for "Sweeping Sound Ceremony"): Zommari Leroux is the only Arrancar shown to have been able to use this technique and it allows him to create clone-like afterimages of himself. Up to five clones can be created using this technique. Because of this, Zommari claims that he is the fastest Espada.
