Kidō:
is a type of sorcery used by Soul Reapers. It can be used for various purposes, such as healing, attacking, and restraining
Healing seems to be a more general skill, while attacking and binding require an incantation to be recited beforehand.
Kidō spells are divided into two major categories:
destructive spells (破道, hadō) used for direct attack
and binding spells (縛道, bakudō)which are spells that restrain someone or have other effects.
List of some binding kido
1. Restrain (塞, sai?)[6] — Locks a target's arms in place behind their back.
4. Crawling Rope (這縄, hainawa?)[7] — An energy rope entangles a target's arms.
9. Strike (撃, geki?)[8] — Engulfs a target in red light, completely paralyzing them.
58. Summoning of the Tracking Sparrows (摑趾追雀, kakushitsuijaku?)[9] — Tracks and locates any spiritual force the user focuses on. To activate it, the user must draw a circle on the ground, cut into four parts with a specific character in each. The incantation animates the circle, causing various numbers to appear within until the specific set is found. The number set seems to be a variation on longitude and latitude.
61. Six Rods Prison of Light (六杖光牢, rikujōkōrō?)[10] — Summons six thin, but wide, beams of light that slam into a target's midsection, holding them in place. Referred to as "Six Rod Light Restraint" in the English manga and "Six Bars of Light" in some of the games.
75. Quintet of 1 kan Iron Pillars (五柱鉄貫, gochūtekkan?)[11] — Summons five incredibly tall and thick pillars to pin a target to the ground.
77. Heavenly Rickshaws in Silken Air (天挺空羅, tenteikūra?)[12] — Transmits messages to anyone within a specific area. In addition to reciting the spell, the user must draw specific markings on their arms, which are animated by the spell to convey the messages.
81. Splitting Void (斷空, danku?)[13] — Creates an energy barrier in the form of a rectangular wall. According to Byakuya, it is capable of stopping destructive spells up to #89.
99, Part 1. Seal (禁, kin?, Restrict in the English dub) — Binds the arms of a target with spiritual fabric and iron shafts.[14]
99, Part 2. Great seal (卍禁, bankin?) — This spell covers a target from head to toe with spiritual fabric [first song: halting fabric (初曲・止繃, shokyoku: shiryū?)], stabs them with numerous metal blades [second song: hundred linked bolts (弐曲・百連閂, nikyoku: hyakurensan?)], and then smashes them with an immense metal cube [final song: great seal of 10,000 forbiddings (終曲・卍禁太封, shūkyoku: bankin taihō?)].[15]
list of some destructive kido
1. Thrust (衝, shō?)[16] — Pushes the target away from the caster.
4. White Lightning (白雷, byakurai?)[17] — Fires a concentrated bolt of lightning from the caster's forefinger.
31. Shot of Red Fire (赤火砲, shakkahō?)[18] — Fires a ball of red energy at a target.
The English dub uses the phrase "Red Flame Cannon" in conjunction with the Japanese name. It also incorrectly identifies this spell as bakudō 33 in certain scenes, though correctly identifies it in the scene in which it is revealed.
33. Blue Fire, Crash Down (蒼火墜, sōkatsui?, Pale Fire Crash in the English dub)[19] — Fires a burst of blue spiritual energy at a target in a similar manner to 31, but over a wider area and with more power.
54. Abolishing Flames (廃炎, haien?)[20] — Fires a blast of purple spiritual energy that will incinerate a target completely when it makes contact.
63. Thunder Roar Cannon (雷吼炮, raikōhō?)[21] — Fires a massive wave of yellow energy at a target.
66. Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down (双蓮蒼火墜, sōren sōkatsui?)[22] — Essentially a doubled version of #33, this spell fires two shots of blue fire with greater potency than the single-shot variety. In the anime, Rukia labels this spell as #73.
90. Black Coffin (黒棺, kurohitsugi?)[23] — Forms a box of black energy around a target, which is then pierced by dozens of energy "spears", lacerating the one inside from head to toe. Aizen notes that the spell only reached a third of its destructive potential the one time he uses it, indicating that the spell would be far more damaging at full power. Its appearance and function is reminiscent of a common magician's trick, as well as certain torture devices used during the Spanish Inquisition.
here are some others
White Crawl (白伏, hakufuku?)[24] — Momo Hinamori uses this spell while imprisoned to knock out a guard and destroy everything within a certain radius of herself. The anime suggests that it is a binding spell, but doesn't number it.
Mirror Door (鏡門, kyōmon?)[25] — Tōshirō Hitsugaya used this to seal Momo Hinamori's hospital room. It creates a glass-like barrier which is difficult to break from the outside, but quite simple to break from the inside.
Reverse Demon (反鬼, hanki?)[26] — This technique nullifies an opponent's kidō by hitting them with a perfectly opposite surge of energy. Yoruichi uses this against Soifon's shunkō.
Kidō Cannon (鬼道砲, Kidōhō?) — As the name suggests, the Kidō Cannon is basically a high-intensity energy weapon powered by kidō in Bleach: Memories of Nobody. It consists of a crystalline focus point attached to the top of a massive pole, with several smaller crystal structures circling up towards the main one. It is powered by hundreds of shinigami working in concert, creating an energy blast capable of obliterating a small dimension. The blast forms into several animal shapes which roar just before contact. The power of the blast is such that, in addition to destroying its target, it also causes a small amount of damage to both the human world and Soul Society. Despite its power, it is not a reusable weapon, as it burns into a pile of scrap after being fired.
