Stefan (Shikai - "Rust & Shatter") wrote: Perhaps Ichigo's Bankai only affects his larger sword, Hollow Ichigo, which is his true Zanpakutõ. Since his short sword is the manifestation of his Quincy powers, it might not be affected, or transformed, when Ichigo activates his Bankai. Or it could form a quincy bow/ one handed crossbow. I've been working on some artwork recently that features ichigo in a cross of quincy and shinigami robes, wielding his zanpakutou in one hand, and a spirit bow in the other. It's looking pretty good so far.
