Besides, zans are based on their owners, and we already seen older lady's personality reflected in everyday+shikai Shunsui, the younger one would probably match the dark part of his personality, that killer mode we saw him enter when Wonderweiss (or whatever that weird little guy was called) hurt Ukitake.

I don't consider that filler arc (or any, for that matter) to be very credible, either. However, if i'm remembering correctly, the Zanpakuto Spirit character art was actually all done by Kubo himself. The arc's story may have been filler, but i believe they would have run things through Kubo first, to get his approval; that includes the personalities of the Zanpakuto Spirits, i would imagine.

So in actuality, the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc may have been the most accurate filler there was. Or at least, was closer to accuracy than any of the others.

Smoking gun, your reasoning in the above quote is very sound. And your comment previous to that one, as well. I'm impressed; it's a very intelligent guess. If the official things does not turn out to be something parallel to your prediction, then it better not disappoint, because your assumption is definitely among the best that i've come across.

And i just gotta say, you referred to that moment when Ukitake was badly injured by Wonderweiss. Oh my gosh, that look upon Shunsui's face! His eyes... everything about him in that brief moment was totally worthy of sending chills.

If his Bankai consists of him with this killer mode demeanor... then good gosh, Shunsui would be terrifying. It would mean that his Bankai shouldn't be seen (for whatever the reason, AND) for the fact that it's just plain scary. Being such a naturally laid-back and easy-going guy, maybe he just doesn't want anybody to see his dark and deadly instinct.

Well... we will find out TOMORROW! I'm so excited! XD
