Aqua Blast
A water bubble shield VFX which turns into an liquid explosion. I’m quite happy with the result 
Again using character and animations from Mixamo.
I used Jeanluc Kol’s Mizuchi Shield VFX concept art for reference: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4XODY2
So kudos to you Jeanluc!
There’s also an amazing breakdown of a very similar VFX by Darin Aranda on ArtStation.
