I always have multiple ideas for what my zanpaku-tou would be, but here is one of them.

Henkō Kioku (Change Memory / Changed Memory) It's shikai command is "Modify, Henkō Kioku"

It is a normal katana whose hilt has the normal design for a black Zanpaku tou, but inverted, so the hilt is white with black diamonds. the tsuba looks like a gold flower bud with the petals extending to cover some of the blade and the tops of the petals fold outwards slightly. the blade is also different in colour, being pure white. the pommel is instead a ring about an inch and a half in diameter, in which you can spin it around your finger.

In it's shikai, the flower opens and the blade extends to Tachi length. the blade also turns pure black.

It is a kind of illusion type Zanpaku-tou that can change anybody's memories who look at it to some extent, such as forgetting the name of their Zanpaku-tou or thinking their friends are their enemies and vice versa. however, so as not to make it too broken, they will regain their normal memories after about a minute.

It's bankai is named Kitsunetsuki (Fox possesion). For looks, itloses the tsuba in a way that looks like a flower dying, the blade curves slightly, turns gold, shortens to katana length and splits into nine, like a kitsunes tail.

It can change memories to the point of mind control, and has nearly no limits, apart from a 30-second time limit on the bankai. it also takes a huge toll on the user, and so can only be used once every 24 hours.

I took inspiration from Aizen's Kyouka Suigetsu and Tsukishima's fullbring, Book of the End. would not mind criticism.
