Character Outline
Minazuki's spirit takes the form of a slim humanoid figure covered in bandages and wearing a very long light green hood (resembling the look of the released shikai form). Due to its bandages, it is unknown whether it is male or female.

Synopsis
Minazuki first appears when several Zanpakutō spirits are in a cave waiting for Muramasa's return. It is later seen in Soul Society, along with Sōgyo no Kotowari and Katen Kyōkotsu, as they approach the main office of the 1st Division. They are then confronted by Chōjirō Sasakibe and apparently take Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto as their hostage. Minazuki is seen along with the rest of the Zanpakutō spirits appearing before the Shinigami that have gathered at the Sōkyoku Hill.

Minazuki is later seen with Sōgyo no Kotowari and Katen Kyōkotsu, using their energies to keep Yamamoto sealed in a pyramid barrier of some sort.
