My Zanpakuto would be Hanran (Rebellion). Its Shikai release command would be "Oppress and Revolt" (ikki to shiitageru). It has quite a few abilities. But I won't go into that. It's called "Rebellion" because in my youth, I never listened to rules and frequently broke them because it made me feel like I was being subjugated. Rebellion simply "Rebels" against anything, laws, physics, science, elements, matter, its wielder, itself, anything that governs what something should do Rebellion rebels against it, the more it is suppressed the stronger it becomes.

Rebellion is unique in that it is constantly in a shikai state, but not due to overwhelming power persay, but because an ability, called "Suppression" (Sei) forces it into a iron prison, suppressing its true power and making it attempt to Rebel and grow in power. Its prison looks like a large Claymore, with a dark iron tinge, and a intricately designed guard that resembles outstretched wings representing freedom, it has a black grip with a silver lining, the pommel is a small iron fist. Suppressing it uses minimal power, and it is almost like a sealed state. But once it breaks free it represents a longsword-like-flamberge (flame bladed sword), rebelling against a typical straight sword as it should be it deforms itself. The blade becomes clear black steel with flickers of black reiatsu (black representing the colours of rebellion), the hand guard becomes two straight outstretched steel bars that flick opposingly at the end, the grip becomes pure white with a black lining, the pommel now takes the shape of a sharp point.

Bankai - Assei no Hanran (Rebellion of Tyranny). Rebellion utilizes its powers fully, and "completes a rebellion" and so becomes another Tyrant in the endless circle of politics. However, there is a short time limit before the Bankai dissipates and Rebellion rebels against even itself reverting back to its shikai.

In this state it doesn't just Rebel against laws, it creates new ones. Its bankai form isn't completely determined, it can change its shape at will, becoming anything it desires. But it prefers the appearance of a Zweihander.
