Hollow Era Shikai
All you need to know about your Shikai.
How to Obtain Your Shikai
To unlock your Shikai, you need to be a level 15 Shinigami (Soul Reaper). Speaking with Urihiro, you pick up the quest which requires you to defeat the Urahara boss.
After this quest, you unlock your Shikai. You activate it by pressing the Y key once your rage bar is filled up and it lasts until your Reiatsu runs out!
Unlocking a New Shikai
When you first unlock your Shikai, your sword is infused with a randomised power. But, you can change this! Head to the Uruhara Shop to reroll your current Shikai. There are various rarities which determine how likely they are to drop when you reroll.
