Gintō (Seireitou)

Gintō (銀筒, Silver Tubes) is a form of Quincy combat, using their fine-tuned abilities for controlling reiryoku and reishi to their utmost levels. Essentially, it is a form of spell-casting, identical to that of Shinigami Kidō. However, Gintō spells are preformed using small capsule-shaped tools that are used to store a Quincy's reiryoku in liquid form. It is an antiquated tool, but the use of it allows Quincies to perform certain techniques. The techniques can be effective enough to counter a Hollow depending on its user. By condensing and storing a liquid form of reiryoku inside the small tube, approximately five centimeters in size, various attacks are triggered when the stored reiryoku is released. Like Kidō, they are activated by calling out various commands.

One who has mastered the '''Reikasuika (霊化水化, "Soul-Synthesized Liquefaction") technique is able to utilize Gintō without these capsules, as they have learned to naturally liquefy their spiritual energy as if it was second-nature to them. Learning this technique is what marks a Quincy as a master of Gintō. However, as Andreas Nikolai noted, very few Quincy are ever able to learn this technique, subsequently stating that in the entire history of Quincy, only three have ever learned it.
