Forum:Since zangetzu is a full time release zanpaktou

just wondering, a full time release zanpakutou is in shikai form. what will happen to the apperance of zangetsu if ever? and kenpachi?

Not sure what the question is.Salubri 09:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I understand it like this: Nobody in SS is able to use shikai, so would Ichigo's sword revert back to normal stage (that huge 2-hander he had at the beginning) if Zangetsu would be released from Ichigo the same manner as other spirits have been released? Akeki 09:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

It would stand to reason that being a full time release there is no sealed form as there was never one in the first place. There is nothing to revert to as the sword he had before was due to rukia's power and it was still large in relation to his vast spiritual power. When he got zangetsu it was already that size so it will most likely stay that size but not do anything.Salubri 10:05, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

What Salubri says is true. That seale3d form was because of the powers he inherited from Rukia, but if it were to revert to that form it would only be a hilt anyway because it was pretty much destroyed during his first encounter with Byakuya and then broken further when he was training with Kisuke. So if it plans on staying canon with how his sword will look it will probably just be a hilt. Ultimt evil 02:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

As it looks from the next episode spoilers Ichigo retains zangetsu in the full time release mode regardless of zangetsu spirit turning on him. So its just as powerless as any regular sword. It looks like the same type of battling done during his bankai training.Salubri 02:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
