Shinji's hollow form
Does anyboady remember when shinji was hollowfying and part of his ribs were becoming like a skeleton? Could this be part of his hollow form, like the one kensei got, and if so why hasn't anybody noticed or mentioned it? I think it can be seen around the time that shinji is talking to aizen in the turn back the pendulum mini-series in the manga. I'm not sure about the anime.Renshiro zaraki 23:34, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Shinji's Shikai
I don't think that was Hirako saying anything. There was no speech bubble there. It was just the caption describing what Shinji was trying to do i.e. cut off Aizen's head. --Yyp 16:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Since when do they do a captain for an action. Im more inclined to believe that was the command for his shikai.Salubri 18:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well right at the end of the previous chapter there was a caption for Shinji's initial swing. BollyW 22:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

So he was probably about to release his zanpakuto in-order to give Aizen less chances to escape and Tosen interfered.


 * Well I don't think he was gonna release it at all, but I doubt it makes a difference really. We might find out soon! BollyW 06:55, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Could it be possible that the yellowish blast that stopped Grimmjow from blasting Rukia's head off with a cero was an ability of Shinji's shikai? Medrike14 02:38, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

That's a maybe since there are Kido spells that are yellow, such as Raikoho.--SalmanH 14:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

In the new chapter, when shinji tries to cut aizen, he yells "sever!" This could be his shikai release command as tosen cut him right after he said it. What is everyone else's thoughts?


 * Well, seems that's settled now. His release is Collapse and we see his shikai's form & abilities in chapter 387. Pretty good if you ask me. Potentially very powerful (so long as he's not fighting Aizen). -- Yyp  (Talk)  23:43, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

ya, i have to agree. and it took probably half a year but we finally see what his shikai looks like and does. and i think it looks cool.Soul reaper magnum 08:46, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

I'm just a little disappointed to Shinji, u know y?? because he just said the abilities of his zanpakutou to Aizen 4 free if i were him i would just shut my mouth close. But i like this chapter cause at least we know that the real Aizen was fighting Shinji.--Frostymoon 9:31, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

even Shinji will not tell about his zanpakuto, Aizen will figure it out what it is. He is not stupid or slow enough to know Sakanade's abilities before Shinji cuts him into pieces. But Shinji also shows overconfidence at that episode, and it might be that Aizen will read almost every move he executes.Hellblazer17 14:10, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

i thought of this the other night, if you look back through the story we are given hints to shinji's shikai ability long before he shows it, when he first arrived in karakura town he was always seen upside down watching ichigo, and then when he wrote his name on the chalk board it was back wards and he said doing things back wards was a special talent of his. I find it interesting because that shows the in depth development of character that Kubo talks about he likes about writing. Shillagan 19:31, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Yes Shinji's overconfidence was visible throughout the episode.. but i loved the fact that he landed a blow on Aizen... the till now seemingly untouchable Aizen got cut. This leaves hope that he can be beaten. Kishen1912 11:17, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * And that's strange. Aizen could block Ichigo's bankai with his finger, but Shinji, not using his mask, was able to injure Aizen with just his shikai. Weird... PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) contribs) 23:20, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ya but if ya think of ichigos and kens first fight ichigo couldnt cut him at first, i know it was his shikai but i would think a similar Principle would apply. I am kinda hoping to see Shinji's bankai before ichigo jumps into the battle but i am not sure that will happen. Shillagan 23:51, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if Shinji can control who his shikai affects. Now that Ichigo is there, won't he also smell the shikai and enter the inverted world?--Black Artist 00:19, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
