Shou dodged the first attack, a good start. Within Rio's mind, she began noting down key things that she had observed. A Hado was aimed her way and due to her calm state, she managed to make a move, simply turning her body to the side, narrowly missing the blast yet it did catch onto a piece of her clothing. Extending her left index and middle finger with her arm raised, the same Hado Byakurai was shot back at Shou before he had expelled all of the Hado he had preformed so the Hado she shot back would interrupt his attack. It was of a low strength, only enough to give Shou a small bruise if hit.

Shou watched his attack barely miss Rio, this made his eyes narrow slightly however they then soon widened as he noticed a Hado 4 coming right back at him, he barely had time to dodge which was shown by him jumping out of the way and getting a cut from the hado on the top of his right shoulder, He then rolled and during this roll he charged up a Hado 31 and fired it at Rio before getting to his feet and shunpoing high into the air in one swift movement, Shou then held his Zanpakuto horizontally and placed his left palm over the end of the blade as the Zanpakuto began to glow yellow as it then fired off a wide arc of yellow energy down towards Rio, aiming to hit her if she were to only slightly dodge the first attack
