Forum:Tessai's Zanpakutō - Disguised or just not shown yet

Tessai Tsukabishi has not been shown to carry anything that obviously resembles a Zanpakutō. There have however, been many theories floating around about his Zanpakutō. Below are some of the ideas I have heard. What do you think of them, and does anyone have your own suggestions? --Yyp 12:55, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Tessai carried a shakujō during Turn Back the Pendulum. It is possible that his Zanpakutō is sealed/disguised within that shape in much the same way as the ones of Kisuke Urahara and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto are. It is also possible that the shakujō is the Shikai of his Zanpakutō. Or, alternatively, it is possible that it is stored in a similar fashion to Hachi's - inside a barrier from which it can be summoned at will.

Just an idea, but maybe he has disguised his zanpakutou as the broom he usually carries in the shop? :P --Akeki 12:07, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
