is the manifested spirit of Marechiyo Ōmaeda's Zanpakutō that is seen during the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc.

Character Outline
Gegetsuburi's spirit takes the form of an obese shirtless man with a barely visible nose, giving him somewhat of a frog-like face. He appears to bear a small resemblance to his master/partner. He has red hair kept in five sets of spikes and wears a cape. He has a cresent moon shaped scar located above his chest. He has a piercing towards the right side of his lower lip. Like his former partner, he has a passion for crackers as he is seen regularly eating them. Gegetsuburi seems to have much hostility to Ōmaeda for his own physical appearance being a reflection of Ōmaeda's.

Synopsis
He first appears when several Zanpakutō spirits are in a cave waiting for Muramasa's return. He is then last seen along with the rest of the Zanpakutō spirits appearing before the Shinigami that have gathered at the Sōkyoku Hill. He later runs amok in Seireitei, attacking numerous Shinigami with his flail.

When Muramasa says he would like to capture Kurosaki Ichigo alive he tells it sounds interesting and to count him in. Later, he and Hozukimaru bump into Ōmaeda, who Gegetsuburi quickly insults. Before the two can actually fight, Ōmaeda is accidently knocked out by Ichigo who plowed through a wall. Gegesuburi then turns his attention to Ichigo, who effortlessly defeats him, allowing the Special Ops to take Gegetsuburi to the Research and Development Beaurau.

Powers & Abilities
At any time, Gegetsuburi is able to summon a flail-like weapon with a large spiked-ball at the end.

Enhanced Speed: Despite his build, Gegetsuburi is deceptively fast, able to at least keep up with his fellow Zanpakuto.
