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)

It would be nice if the Shakujo that he carried during TBtP was actually his Shikai. It would be a nice difference from all of the weapons that are meant to do damage. If it was something that just augmented his abilities since he is a kido user, would be a pretty useful weapon and also something different from a sharp blade.
