Ok, I got another one that I think could be cool.

Tempora

Tempora is a time dilation Zanpakuto.

Shikai: Its shikai command is "Distort". Upon activating, it creates an insular field with a space of time dilation within. The field can be expanded or contracted for the master's wish but its will not move with the master, he must deactivate it to use it change its location. The time dilation field slows down time for the target while the wielder of Tempora moves in real time. For someone outside the field looking in, it would appear as if the users are moving in slow motion.

The strength of its effect on its targets depends on their strength and power. Example: Rukia's ability to react would be cut relatively in half while most Captain level Shinigami would be able react normally but with a strain on their bodies.

Bankai: Rather than creating a time dilation field over the targets, Tempora creates a time dilation field over its wielder. This field, however, speeds up time. The Shinigami will move much faster as time is going at a different rate for him. With this, he can be mobile, which the shikai couldn't.

The weakness of this Bankai is its strain on the wielder. As a result of using it to move beyond the rate of those around him by using time, he also ages faster when he uses bankai. The equivalent is one minute within bankai equals one year outside. As such, the use of bankai is reluctant.
