Hey Salubri this is a great blog entry and very informative indeed.

Anyway do you have any plans to group the zanpakutou, shikai or bankai into which elements they are base. A few of the shinigami character did mention about their zanpakutou's base elements, for example:-

1. Fire - Ryujin Jakka (Yamamoto)

2. Earth - Haineko (Rangiku)

3. Metal - Wabisuke (Kira), Gegetsuburi (Omaeda),

4. Water - Hyorimaru (Hitsugaya), Sode no Shirayuki (Rukia), Kyoka Shuigetsu (Aizen)

5. Wood - Sembonzakura Kageyoshi (Byakuya)

Some zanpakutou, shikai or bankai may contains a few or many elements such as: Zangetsu (Ichigo) - metal & fire Tobiume (Hinamori) - fire & wood

Aizen's shikai I group under water because the name suggest the reflection of moon which represent fire is repelled by the water, when you see the reflection like mirror in the water, and sypnosis is a water type ability too.

What do you think?
