Presentation of Hirako Shinji's Katana Sakanade
Sakanade is the formidable zanpakutō of Hirako Shinji , former captain of the 5th Division of the Gotei 13 and leader of the Vizards. Behind his laid-back demeanor and disarming humor lies a cunning fighter, a master of psychological warfare and plot twists.
When he unleashes his Shikai, Sakanade triggers a unique hypnotic effect: a complete reversal of the enemy's directional senses . Up becomes down, left becomes right… a nightmare for any opponent, even an experienced one. This power, combined with Shinji's strategic intelligence, makes his attacks almost impossible to anticipate.
Visually identifiable by its swirling petal-shaped blades and hypnotic scent, Sakanade is a weapon as elegant as it is unsettling. It perfectly reflects Shinji's complex personality: playful, brilliant, but always one step ahead of his enemies.
A formidable weapon in the service of a brilliant mind.
