Yyp wrote: Zanpakuto only have 2 releases (though you could say they have 3 forms/states: sealed, Shikai and Bankai). Sealed is not actually a release, otherwise what is the shikai being released from? It is just the normal resting state of the Zanpakuto. Only Shikai and Bankai are releases. Oh, okay it is just that Mayuri said in the shinigami arc (dunno if that's what it's called tho) the one where they invade the soul society to save Rukia)) that a Zanpakuto has 3 release stages or something xD
