In regards to the anime [Bleach], a shikai is the first release of a zanpakuto, the sword used by shinigami. Each shikai has a special ability.

To release the shikai form of a zanpakuto, one must call it's name (eg; "Scatter, Senbonzakura", "Awaken, Benihime", "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki"). This is no longer necessary when one has attained bankai, the second release.
Some shikai releases are...
Hitsugaya's Hyourinmaru- takes the form of an ice dragon
Renji's Zabimaru- a sword that can be extended into different segments
Ichigo's Zangetsu- a gigantic butcher-knife type sword
Matsumoto's Haineko- a disintegrated sword
Kira's Wabisuke- turns into a square spiral

Shikanoin heizou 

Shikanoin Heizou is a upcoming and or playable character (based on when you’re reading this) in genshin impact!

He’s the Tenryou commission self proclaimed detective and is mentioned by a few other characters such as Thoma, Ayaka, Kokomi, Sara, and Gorou!

He’s often said to be unique, a hard person to get along with, and disliked. This mostly comes from his investigation work as he has his own way of doing his investigation process and it’s also said that his older sibling hopes nobody gets hurt in the process so maybe that’s another reason why the people of Inazuma may not like Heizou.

One final thing about Heizou is how he’s known for his rebellious behavior and often puts his goals in front of his actual work.

He’s also mostly known for going sightseeing at watatsumi island and as a result being called weird for it.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
