Kidō (鬼道, "demon way", or "spirit way" sometimes translated as Demon Arts) is one of the four basic Shinigami combat forms, at least according to Sōsuke Aizen.
Kidō is the technique that Shinigami use to focus their Spiritual Energy into magic spells of various powers. These spells serve a wide variety of uses such as healing, defense, or combat.
The Kidō Corps is a branch of Soul Society's military which excels in the mastery of Kidō.
Kido Mechanics
Each spell is graded on a scale from 1 to 99, the latter being the most powerful and the most difficult to perform. The scale is a measure of difficulty, as there can be multiple spells which share the same level. To use Kidō, a Shinigami must recite the specific incantation for the spell, which is often long and requires a few seconds to speak.
This weakness can be negated by Shinigami capable of using Eishohaki, a technique that releases Kidō without a spirit chant. While it decreases the time needed to release the Kidō, it drastically weakens the spell While anyone well versed in Kidō can use this technique, it is most effective when done by a skilled practitioner, otherwise the spell could utterly fail. The most skilled experts are capable of using this technique to amazing effect.
The power of a spell relies on the power of the user, as even a low-level spell can be utterly devastating when utilized by a high-class Shinigami.
Kido Types
There are three main types of Kidō: binding spells, destruction spells, and healing spells.
- Bakudō (Binding spells): are a broad category of defensive spells which block or repel attacks or freezes enemies in place.
- Hadō (Destructive spells): refer to offensive spells which harm an enemy or cause damage.
- Healing spells: do not have known names, numbers, or incantations to cast, and simply heal the target. As the user holds his hands above the patients wounds, his/her palms glow with green spiritual energy to facilitate healing. For the mechanics of healing, the patient's Reiatsu is replenished first. Then the body's Reiatsu works with the healer's Reiatsu to heal the patient's body.[1]
Kido Combat
Though Kidō is commonly used by Shinigami in combat, it has several weaknesses that make it difficult to use for that purpose. All of the spells have fairly long incantations and require concentration; because of this, the person using the Kidō leaves themself open to attack during the duration of the incantation. In addition, if an opponent is familiar with Kidō, there is the possibility of them identifying the spell by its incantation before it can even be used. However, highly skilled Kidō users can use various techniques to counter these weaknesses, such as Eishohaki and "Double Incantation", which involves mixing the incantations of two or more Kidō spells together to save time and confuse ones opponent. A rarer use of Kidō is mixing various spells (such as Bakudō and Hadō together) for unique effects, which is the mark of skilled user. Kidō is commonly seen used in instances of surprise attacks rather then all out assaults, being most effective when one's opponent doesn't see it coming.

Incantation: Unknown |
| |||
| 95. | Kikai no Jōmon (亀鎧の城門, The Gate of Turtle Shell) | This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard.

Incantation: Unknown |
| |||
| 96. | Hoyoku no Jōmon (鳳翼の城門, The Gate of Phoenix Wings) | This technique is another one of Hachigen Ushōda new Kidō barrier techniques developed after he became a Vizard.

| 90. | Kurohitsugi (黒棺, Black Coffin) | Envelops the target with a powerful torrent of gravity that takes the form of a box of black energy, covered in several spear-like protrusions. The spears then pierce the box, lacerating the one inside from head to toe. The spell is very difficult to use, as even Aizen could only unleash a third of its power without stating the particular incantation, when he used it on Sajin Komamura. However, when Aizen later used it on Ichigo Kurosaki with the incantation, he stated that it possessed enough power to distort space and time. It is also noticeably-different in appearance. In accordance with Aizen's claim that this technique can distort space-time, the sky appears to darken as multiple boxes of black energy appear, each of them topped off with cross-shaped spears, before they appear to enclose themselves on their victim. Its appearance and function is reminiscent of a common magician's trick, as well as certain torture devices used during the Spanish Inquisition.[42]
Incantation: "The crest of turbidity, seeping out. An insolent vessel of madness. Boiling up, denying, numbness, blinking, obstructing slumber. The steel princess who creeps. The mud doll, ever disintegrating. Unite! Oppose! Filling the earth, know your own impotence!" |

Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired" | 
| |||
| 92. | Sanjū Tomoe Happa (三重巴発破, Triple Tomoe Explosive Blast) | The user generates three tomoe, made out of red reiryoku, which then links together with a chain of energy. The user then hurls the technique like a shuriken, which causes a massive explosion, capable of leveling several city blocks, upon impact. | 
| |||
| 96. | Ittō Kasō (一刀火葬, Single Blade Cremation) | A forbidden spell used by Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto. It is a spell that causes a huge pillar of fire to erupt from the ground in the shape of a katana's tip. It is implied to be a forbidden technique that can only be activated by using one's own body as a catalyst. Aizen calls it the spell of sacrifice.
Incantation: Unknown |
| |||
| 99. | Taihensame Ago (大変鮫顎, Great Shark Jaw) | A kidō which creates a gigantic shark, far larger than the user, to attack the opponent. The giant shark can absorb reiatsu and reiryoku from an opponent's techniques, and use that power to grow larger and stronger. The result is an explosion that can kill with one hit.
Incantation: Great Shark, Ruler of the Sea; Bite than hand that feeds you. Break free, the chains that bind you. Launch forward and devour him that opposes you. |

Non-Spells
- Hanki (反鬼, Reverse Demon): An ability which nullifies an opponent's Kidō by hitting it with another one of perfectly opposite speed and energy. The ability can even neutralize an opponent's movements. (Somewhat erroneously named Hanki Sōsai in the Viz translation, as sōsai (相殺) means "mutual cancellation", referring to the ability's effect.)
- Shunkō (瞬閧, Flash Cry): An advanced secret battle technique that combines the grappling technique of Hakuda and the incantation technique of Kidō. It is an ultra-powerful technique in which one drives Kidō into one's arms and legs. The Kidō itself can also be controlled and fired at opponents from the body. Shunkō first appeared being used by Captain Soifon in her fight against her old master, Yoruichi Shihōin. Soifon states she invented the technique of combining Kidō and Hakuda so recently that she had no experience with it in battle, let alone enough time to give it a name. Yoruichi, however, reveals Shunkō is the technique's name, and that she invented and learned the ability long before Soifon. The keisen uniform has no back or sleeves because the fabric will rip apart when the user's back and arms are filled with Kidō. Though Yoruichi's Shunkō is perfected, unlike Soifon's version, she still has difficulties controlling it. It could be said that Shunkō is a secret technique used by the Corps Commander of the Executive Militia. The uniform worn when punishment is carried out is specifically geared for Shunkō.
