Okay. I've been sitting on this for a long time now and I've reached 2 possible conclusions.
Either Tite Kubo is frugal and conservative with his attack ideas.
Or Toshiro copied/stole tactics/attacks from the Quincies.
I may hate the Quincies with a passion, but you seriously CANNOT tell me that does not look like a Sprenger attack.
Don't believe me? Here. Read the attack's definition:
"Rokui Hyōketsujin (六衣氷結陣, Six-Clothed Ice Binding-Array): Hitsugaya can lay down a trap by placing five snowflake-shaped ice crystals on the ground in a pentagonal formation. When an opponent steps into the trap, each snowflake sends a line of ice towards them. The space within the pentagon is then encased in a large pillar of ice, trapping the opponent."
I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go with the conclusion that Toshiro said, "TO HELL WITH THIS SHIT!" and defeated Bazz-B with one of the Quincy's own attacks.
So what have I learned today?
Sprenger + Sennen Hyoro = Rokui Hyōketsujin
I don't know if I should be impressed or scared. lol
.... Maybe both....
