Forum:Who are the new characters in the upcoming arc..??

I don't have any information about does new people. But when i read the spoiler at youtube, silentdon place there picture before the spoiler of the manga began. I noticed the three of them, one is a girl who looks like soifon's suzumebachi, the other is a huge guy with a huge flail just like omaeda, another is a guy who looks like yumichika with a feather wings. Do you think the new arc is about the spirit of a zanpakutou?? Frostymoon 19:15, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I just read something on the web and it seemed a manga cover. Maybe an upcoming filler special? Deimonos 14:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)



wohooo.. the materialization of a zanpakutoh's spirit... but.. a chapter... or an arc... ¿? Hexanort 14:44, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Wait, there's another one: Deimonos 14:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

hitsugayas's... soi fon's... komamura's... omaeda`s... renji's... ( the pink cat like "zanpakuwoman"...) ¿byakuya?... or ¿yoruichi?... ¿and the red/black character in the bottom? the girl under horyoumaru... maybe... tobiume... ¿and the center "zanpakuwoman"?... ¿haineko? so the guy in the bottom of the page... he is the bad guy. interesting.. wohou... Hexanort 14:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Zanpakuto Spirit forms, bout time they show some more of them. Zangetsu and Zabimaru are the only ones I've seen, more spirits WOOPWOOP!!!!

This is Probably to do with "The Materialization of Zanpakuto" episode coming up soon.

ps. the butterfly spirit with the halo looks like Mayuri Kurotsuchi's zanpakuto

AuronValentine 16:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Horyomaru?haha...no offense but if you're talking about Hyorinmaru, it's a dragon and not a human. And if this is in fact the materialization of the zanpakutos, then that would be interesting. Although, it would still be an anime filler and it won't be written by Kubo unlike Zangetsu, Zabimaru and Hyorinmaru.--Agate genbu 16:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh yeah i forgot Hyorinmaru too :D

Granted Hyorinmaru is a dragon and Zabimaru is a baboon/snake, could it be possible the Zanpakuto spirits are in humanoid form because the soul reapers are using that device Kisuke made, you know the thing that made Zangetsu materialize when Ichigo was Bankai training? it has a humanoid shape?

any thoughts?

AuronValentine 16:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

hello wooo again... XD

its suposed to be zabimaru.... the red haired snake tailed "zanpakuwoman" and about hitsugaias "zanpakuman" notice the hands of the blue haired one...

so the two demons at the sides of "mayuri's butterfly" maybe shunsui's and the twins... ukitake's...

so... wohohoho... its interesting... XDHexanort 17:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

see tobiume's flowers on his head... yes... the "zanpakugirl" under blue haired man... Hexanort

I just notice that the black spirit above komamuru's zanpakuto is shuhei's zanpakuto Kazeshini, notice the he's carrying his shikai form.

The fair lady in white is probably Rukia's zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki, quote "the most beautiful ice zanpakuto in the soul society"

and the dude at the bottom with all the weights is probably Wabisuke, Izuru' zanpakuto

what the bet that the lady with the skull and eye patch is Zaraki's zanpakuto :D

if i'm saying zanpakuto too much, sorry :D AuronValentine 17:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Well... my bet would be something like this (see full size). The ones on the left were pretty obvious, most of them. I'm not so sure about the red haired central, but her hair's red and she has an evil smile. About the girl with the eyepatch, she does look like a Kenpachi-type zanpakuto. I guess one of the big guys is Ryuujin Jakka, and that's about all the ideas I have anyone agree or disagree? I know that Hyorinmaru is a dragon, we saw that on chapter -15, but the ice claw and neck thing are too much for a coincidende, right? Lia Schiffer 23:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

so... in the second page... the two demons at the side of konjiki ajizogi... maybe... kyoraku's "dual" zanpakutoh... (notice the twins near tey, ¿ukitake?) maybe they are the demons that kyoraku notices in her release comand... - the laugthing demon an the other... "Hana Kaze Midarete, Kashinu Naki, Tenpū Midarete, Tenma Warau, Katen Kyōkotsu!" Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer"

flower god... heavenly demon... two swords.... hummm.... interesting... Hexanort 23:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok well if this is gonna be a story arc about zanpakuto spirit manifestations. Though its a filler its still part of the series and will be represented as such just like all other fillers are. Also it is likely the spirits have humanoid forms as well in addition to their other form. So lets see if i can match these characters right. From what i hear this is the line up:


 * Muramasa - Yuuichi Nakamura [male spirit]
 * Sode no Shirayuki – Mie Sonozaki ~ Rukia's [Female Spirit]
 * Suzumebachi – Ayumi Jun ~ Soifon [Female Spirit]
 * Senbonzakura – Daisuke Hirakawa ~ Byakuya [Male Spirit]
 * Katen Kyōkotsu – Ayumi Fujimura ~ Shunsui [Female Spirit]
 * Sōgyo no Kotowari – Yui Shimamura ~ Ukitake [Female Spirit]
 * Tobiume – Ayumi Fujimura ~ Momo [Female Spirit]
 * Zabimaru - (Monkey/Saiga Mitsuki and Snake/Sanada Asami) Renji [Male Spirit]
 * Kazeshini – Kishō Taniyama ~ Hisagi [male Spirit]
 * Haineko – Sāki Takahashi ~ Rangiku [Unknownm likely female]
 * Hōzukimaru - Take Tora ~ Ikkaku [male Spirit]
 * Ruriiro Kujaku – Takuma Terashima ~ Yumichika [Male Spirit]


 * Captains
 * Girl in the right arm stinger with gold and black on - Suzumbachi
 * Guy below her with ice claws - Hyorinmaru
 * Moth boy in the middle - Ashisogi Jizo
 * Twins holding hands with parchment - Sogyo no Kotowari
 * mean looking Red guy and grey guy - Katen Kyokatsu


 * lieutenants
 * Fat guy with flail is obviously - Gegetsuburi
 * Dark black creature with the red outline at the top in the back of the middle. - Kazeshini
 * Young girl - Tobiume


 * Seated officers
 * Guy with the mohawk and bandages wrapped around his head with the pseudo wings on his arm - Ruri'iro Kujaku
 * Woman in white with the silver white hair - Sode no Shirayuki

thats all i got lol. well guess we will see.Salubri 01:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Salubri for all of those but I also think the woman with the eye patch may be Urahara's zanpakuto Benihime. I also believe the guy holding the weight in the bottom right of the first one is Izuru's Wabisuke which means either miserable man or the panitent one which looks like that character. There is also a chance that Sanin's Kokujo Tengen Myo'o is the one with the mask but unsure with that one. The cat looking woman in the bottom right may be Rangiku’s Haineko (Ash Cat) with the little kid above her could be Gin’s Shinso just because he resembles Gin and it seems to have a long tail which may be able to extend like the zanpakuto’s sword abiliy. And this last one is not based on anything other than the looks of the female in the center of the first page, but for some reason I think it may be Yoruichi’s zanpakuto even though we don’t know anything about hers. Thats just my thoughts. Unus7484 03:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

in the first image... the red aired spirit with sleeves... has got a tail... snake tail. remenber renji's spirit... a baboon with snake tail. this guy is looks like a humanized babooon/monkey with a snake tail. its maybe zabimaru. Hexanort 10:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd rather say that the red haired kid with snake tail is Shinso. He/she resembles Ichimaru a lot, and Shinsou means "Silver Snake" Lia Schiffer 17:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Did you guys notice that the kid with the snake tale is chained to the women in the green fur. I just noticed that so maybe it is Renji's because they can both represent the Baboon and the snake of his Zanpakuto.Tealang99 13:22, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I did'nt think that Aizen, Tousen and Ichimaru will appear in a filler arc... ñ Hexanort 19:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the guy in the purple kimono is Senbonzakura Hlp922 19:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

PD:... in the first image... the man with the "strange face" is komamura's bankai without his armour.Hexanort 20:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I did notice the chain, but Zabimaru has no chains, right? Besides, we know that Zabimaru is a male, it would make no sense to change his gender now, I believe. Though I reckon that the marks on the red-haired girl's hair look somewhat like Zabimaru's tattoos, but the similarities between the little boy and Ichimaru are too much of a coincidence in my opinion, especially when we know that a zanpakutoh and its owner are supposed to have plenty similarities(even if I too would be surprised to see Aizen and co. here). Another thing is that the smile on both their faces don't seem to match with what we know about Zabimaru's personality. Lia Schiffer 06:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Is it me, or does that guy in the very bottom right of the first pic look like Aizen? Could it be KS?

I was going to say snake-tail is Renji's (he's always wanted to change his spirit to a redhead remeber. Maybe he has), grey haired thing s Haineko, and pink cat thing (wild specultion!) could be Yoruichi's. Strangely, I always envisioned that Suzumebachi'd look something like that, purely for the irony of a cutesie thing compared to Soifon's tough-as-nails facade.

As for the skull lady being Benihime....Kisuke has noted she's 'not nice', and that look seems to fit. TomServo101 07:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Something's just occured to me. The Pink Cat thing....It's Yachiru's. TomServo101 08:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I doubt it. In filler arcs they never introduce zanpakuto's that haven't been shown in the manga. Rukia's and Hisagi's zanpakuto's weren't shown in filler arcs despite the fact that there was an oppurtunity to. I think the pink cat is almost certainly Haineko. BollyW 10:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I think I must stick to my guns on this one. Not all Zanpakuto have to resemble their wielder. Take Ichigo and Zangetsu. They look nothing alike. Plus there is nothing stating that Renji's zanpakuto is all male. It just make sense in that Picture that the lady with the snake child chained to her is Renji's. It really doesnt fit any one esle. Also who's to say that Gin's Zanpakuto spirit will be a snake. We dont know any thing about it or him. Tealang99 13:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

The fact that Shinso means "Silver snake" isn't enough to consider that he/she could be a snake? And well... you know, because Zabimaru's voice seems pretty male-ish to me and all that... Yes, Renji wanted to change Zabimaru's gender and all, but I doubt that he would be changed to a girl with no apparent reason, besides, that was part of an omake, and as much a reliable source it could be, as long as we don't know it for sure, we can't say that he did succeed in the transgender thing. Well... we'll know soon, I suppose, seeing as the new arc starts tomorrow. Lia Schiffer 04:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the pink cat woman is Haineko, the one holding a large metal ball is Wabisuke and the one with the purple kimono is Tenken. I can't think of any spirit that resembles the cloaked one, the one beside it and the central green-furred woman.--Agate genbu 04:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it's just me, but I have to believe either the guy carying all the stuff at the bottom right corner of the first page, or the robed figure on the second page is Zaraki's.

This probably has a 99% chance of being wrong but the red character on the second page makes me think of the Captain-Commander, so maybe that's his? --Ihaveaname 20:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

ok, i have found out which is which, but not all of them (i saw the new ep) most of these appeared at the ending, and some walked by their shinigami during the episode and exchanged eye contact with them no these are not theories, if you pay close attention to the ending, during the part where their silhouttes are scrolling up, you can see them change into their shikai forms
 * two little kids with the scroll :ukitake
 * guy in purple kimono : byakuya
 * little girl in the top left corner : soifon
 * woman with eyepatch: shunsui
 * pink cat girl" matsumoto
 * little girl with bells: hinamori
 * skinny black haired guy with the ball and chain: izuru
 * red-outlined guy at the top: shuhei
 * bright blue-haired woman: rukia
 * man on the right with feathers: yumichika
 * big guy with the red beard: ikkaku
 * big guy breathing flames: komamura
 * butterfly in between the two mentioned above: kurotsuchi
 * fat guy with the mace: omaeda
 * woman with green fur tied to the little kid: renji

The only thing I can add to that is that the faceless cloaked one with the bandages might be Minazuki seeing how it changed to something resembling Unohana's nodachi, and that the guy with black hair in the second scan (the one that almost gets lost in the page folding) might be Gonryomaru (Sasakibe's) because it changed to Gonryomaru's shikai form in the ending (I took about a millenia analizing that damned part). Tha interesting part of this is... now that they have shapes and personality, should we consider them as separate characters and give each one of them his/her own character page. And that I'm disappointed to see that Senbonzakura is a male, I wanted him to be a beautiful miko-like girl. Lia Schiffer 01:04, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

i dont know about anybody else but i havent been so pumped to watch bleach since before the bount arc

I was going to question weather the red guy was komamura's zanpakuto spirit, but then I noticed that he is carrig komamura sword or I guess his own sword form.Unus7484 02:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I have a theory: 'Muramasa' is Zaraki Kenpachi's Zanpakuto. It is one of the only zanpakutos that we don't know the name of. while thinking this, I made the idea that Muramasa wants all the zanpakutos to reveal against their users because he thinks all the shinigamis are like Kenpachi in the manner he treats him as a weapon. Anotehr thing: misteryously Kenpachi didn't come to the Soukyouku at that moment. Following that theory, the attack he does striking the ground would be his shikai special ability. What do you think about it? [If this comes to be right, then I'm smarter than Yamada Light XD] Sousw 04:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

hmmm thats a good theory. but i dont think they wouldd reveal anything about his zanpakuto in a filler before the actual story.One eyed king 04:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Both Kyoraku and Ukitake are supposed to have two-part zanpakutous, but only Ukitake's spirit seems to be 2 parts. Now, Kyoraku has two swords out all the time, opposed to Ukitake who has 2 swords only after shikai. Allso Kyoraku has 2 different shaped swords before shikai, so I started wondering why is his zanpakutou just one lady, when imo he would have more reason to have 2 spirits than Ukitake. Now I noticed that the cloaked spirit was following that skull-lady when twin-childs ran past her, so I think that maybe both skull-lady and cloaked person are Kuoraku's zanpakutou? Akeki 10:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

It was never stated that a dual Zanpakutos "have" to have two spirits, Yes Jushiro's zanpakuto spirits are twins

and Both Shunsui and Shuhei have dual Zanpakuto in shikai (Shunsei before shikai as well), but they both have a single zanpakuto spirit each

as is mention, a zanpakuto is the persons spiritual energy, it just depends on the person as to what zanpakuto spirit they have.

AuronValentine 14:31, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

And take into account also, that Renji's zanpakuto Zabimaru has two spirits, the baboon and the snake, but his is a single blade. again, Zanpakuto spirit is defined by the person who owns is AuronValentine 14:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Let's remember that "Sogyo no Kotowari" means "The law of the TWIN fish". That would explain Sogyo no Kotowari's spirit (The parchment might represent the "law"). About the cloaked spirit, in the ending it transforms into a simple katana that looks like Unohana's sealed zanpakuto, besides, they are never shown to be linked in any way Lia Schiffer 21:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

can we actually confirm these people are the spirits of zanpakutō? I mean my theory are either evolved demons, maybe like the bounto or maybe peopel who can absorb zanpakuto like Aizen experimental hollow?

We'll just have to wait...

--Exboomer12 15:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, considering Muramasa said they are and Tenken was shown to be coming from his master's Bankai to attack him, I don't see why there'd be reason to doubt what they actually are. Twocents 16:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
