So, I noticed that Tier Halibel when using her Ola Azul, unleashed a wave of
intense pressurized spirit energy from her sword. This reminded me of Ichigo
and Isshin Kurosaki's Getsuga Tenshou attack. So my question is, are they
similar, or is there some huge difference between them?

Is Tier Halibel's Ola Azul similar to Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou?


**Ola Azul can enhance the user's sword strikes, while the regular Getsuga
Tensho cannot.**

The **Ola Azul** is a technique exclusive to Harribel, since it is created by
pooling reiatsu within her blade's empty space. This concentrated reiatsu can
either be shot as a short-blade shaped projectile, or kept within the blade to
increase Harribel's striking strength. When used in melee combat, Ola Azul has
been shown as a ribbon of light increasing the width and range of Harribel's
attacks :

On the other hand, the **Getsuga Tensho** is a concentration of reiatsu which
is released by the tip of the user's blade. It cannot be kept around the blade
to increase the user's striking strength ; the sole exception are **Tensa
Zangetsu** 's Getsuga Tensho. In essence, the power of Tensa Zangetsu is to
"compress" Ichigo's reiatsu around himself, drastically increasing his
strength and speed (as commented in Chapter 163, pages 19-20). This aspect
partly manifests as the black robes donned by Ichigo. Tensa Zangetsu can
"capture" a Getsuga Tensho when released and wrap it around Ichigo's blade to
increase striking strength.

In effect, they are not hugely different techniques ; but the creation method
is quite different and sets them apart.
