Which would combine raze, a term associated with fire, the moon for Zangetsu and bleach for Hichigo while the heavens could be a reference to Tensa Zangetsu or his Quincy powers through the Old Man. I mean Zangetsu means "Slaying Moon" literally. Tensa Zangetsu is "Heavenly Chain Slaying Moon" Which Tensa Zangetsu has the combined form of his powers now anyways so I believe it'd make the most sense.

I could be completely wrong but I'm excited to see what Kubo has in store. Pretty sure Ouetsu didn't say Zangetsu was a fire-type. He merely said the sea evaporated because of the heat of the reiatsu. Remember he stated he needed the sea to cool down ALL new asauchi, by that logic, every Asauchi is a fire-type. Im pretty sure these new Zangetsu just have such an immense reiatsu, it took more water to cool it.
