Also I have to admit I figured they were all female because the main zanpakuto Sayafushi was but you added a very interesting, if not pervy on Nimaiya's part, theory Well, it also possible, that she simply removed one of the souls that comprised her and made it into a completely separate being. Take note that when Starkk and Lilynette enter their Resurrección, they become a single being, while Katen Kyōkotsu always exists as two separate entities, even in their sword forms. It is also worth mentioning that it is only Katen that appeared after Shunsui unleashed Katen Kyōkotsu: Karamatsu Shinju.
