As a normal Shinigami's zanpakuto, this would probably be it. It's Shikai would be Tetsutsuru (Iron Chord) and it's release command is "From the wretched earth, purify the five humors, to the starry skies, lose all control." It consists of four chains, connect by shackles to my arms and legs, one chain per limb. Each chain also has a metal stake at the end, as though they had originally been used to restrict my movements by being chained to the ground. (Although they are all loose now) Using this power, I would gain about as much extra force as any Shikai user, and also be able to control all for chains and their corresponding stakes with relative ease through motions of my limbs. If the four stakes of the Tetsutsuru are all implanted in the same target, both the target and the user will immediately die. (Unless a massive difference in spirit energy prevents the target from dying. For example, likely wouldn't work against Aizen)

Kurai nisshoku no tetsutsuru(Iron chord of the dark eclipse ) would be the name of my bankai. Upon release, the four stakes of the shikai form would combine into one single chain on my right leg, which is at least four times as thick as the originals, and the stake on the end would morph into a gigantic ball weight, like the ones put on prisoners but with a diameter of 500 feet. Due to it's massive weight, it is difficult to control in battle, but also one of the most powerful destructive forces a Bankai can achieve.
