Information
Technique Type Hohō
Used By Shinigami

Senka (閃花, Flash Blossom) is a highly advanced Hohō technique. The user uses Shunpo to move right behind the opponent and attack him before he has the chance to turn around to counter. A victim may not be able to tell whether they were attacked from the front or the back because of the technique's speed, and even an outside observer may find it impossible to tell what the movements are.

If the user performs this technique correctly, he will be in a perfect position to attack and seal the Saketsu (鎖結, Chain Binding) and Hakusui (魄睡, Soul Sleep) in two rapid attacks. 

This technique shouldn't be confused with Shunpo Tangeki. While similar because the user lands just behind his opponent, in Senka the user only attacks after performing Shunpo, while in Shunpo Tangeki the user attacks during Shunpo.
