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.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
