The mere fact that it has two Shikai, and that both of Shikai are nothing more than one-shot techniques, AND the fact that non of those alter the blade even by slightest bit, makes it far more strange than Nozarashi orSanpo Kenju.

Kisuke's Benihime, and Toshiro's Hyorinmaru both have six different shikai special abilities, so what makes Suzumushi's two abilities so interresting?

Kensei was also exposed to Tosen's Bankai when he was cut down, and it was implied that several other officers suffered the same fate.

MilanVukas wrote: And now for the Shikai; how do you explain the fact that Suzumushi has two Shikai, if it was only owned by one person

Nake and Benihiko are stage one and two of the same Shikai. Why would they be connected if they originate from two different Shinigami?

MilanVukas wrote: Also, Suzumushi Nishiki: Benihikō, goes against Tosen's "path of least bloodshed" philosophy SO MUCH that I must presume that it is not his, but rather Suzy's Shikai.

Tosen was only a Shinigami by name since he really despised them, and the only reason he even became one was so that he could avenge his friend. Don't raise him up to be some kind of noble pacifist, when the truth is that he betrayed and murdered several Shinigami from his own division.
