Suzumebachi
okay, so we know that Zanpakuto can be transfered to other people, right? As is the case with Tosen. But i was reading the manga, and in chapter 158, while Soifon and Yoruichi are fighting, after Soifon releases her shikai and wounds Yoruichi, she comments on its ability and says that she mastered the ability that Yoruichi was not able to master. This means that Yoruichi must have had Suzemebachi before Soifon. This would also explain why Yoruichi has never been seen with a Zanpakuto.--Ulquiorra Wannabe128 10:17, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

First the whole Tosen taking someone elses Zanpakuto is a rumor, there is really no proof of that its just something assumed but it cant really be confirmed or denied because its never resolved. People assume so because the zanpaukuto is on the grave of the women he admired and he then picks it up. So its unknown whether he brought it to the grave and laid it their or whether it was hers and he took it. In any case a zanpakuto spirit is apart of the wielder soul as its also its own individual, it seems highly unlikely that taking one from another is possible. Secondly thats a mis-translation Soifon was actually saying that 100 yrs ago she had not perfected the ability when Yoruichi was her commander, but that she has now. Soifon clearly calls it hers and had, to explain what it does as Yoruichi probably didnt remember it. Yoruichi has a zanpakuto she used in a flash back 100 yrs ago, she just doesn't use it as she is more about hand-to-hand combat, its highly unlikely she could become a captain or Commander-in-chief without one. Also as close as shinigami are to their zanpakuto its highly unlikely she would just leave it and in any case if the tosen thing was even remotely possible Yoruichi isn't dead so the zanpakuto would still be hers. Also Yoruichi identifies more with a cat then a hornet which suzumebachi is representative of, making her zanpakuto more based on something reminiscent of a cat. Salubri 13:56, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
