Zanpakuto powers are unique to every individual as the zanpakuto spirit is a part of each persons soul. To say that Momo can use some of Ryujin Jakka's attacks with Tobiume is like saying that I can use your soul with my soul to fight it doesn't work. The only instance of more than one person using the same zanpakuto is the Ise family (which itself doesnt add up based on everything we have been told about how zanpakutos work).

Ichigo can not wield the same zanpakuto powers as any other individual. Just like when Kenpachi took the asauchi blade from a soul reaper he wasn't able to use that soul reapers power, instead his own abilities were imprinted on the blade. By this logic Engetsu cannot use any ability that is directly related to zangetsu, and vice versa. If they are able to use the same zanpakuto ability, the two zanpakuto would have to be identical. If they arent the same zanpakuto then there should be more to it than it being a zanpakuto ability and would fit more in the realm of a reishi ability.

Shinigami, Quincy, and Arrancars all have different reishi. This suggests that their abilities function in slightly different ways. The sonido is essentially the same thing as shunpo or hirenkyaku, but due to differences in the reiatsu they appear slightly different. Likewise a Cero is similar in funtion to that of a getsuga as it is reishi compressed and shot out as a beam yet they appear to be different due to the reiatsu of the one using the ability.

As for the original post (to stay on topic here) a thread being closed because someone claims to be a tyrant, joke or not, doesn't have a very friendly ring and people are likely to be abrasive and hateful toward that individual. I understand that some topics seem to wander a bit and get off track but many times it is done to discuss and explain one facet of the intended argument. Just because a discussion isn't directly answering the OP with every single comment does not mean that its "completely off topic". I thought the whole point of these threads was for discussion and working through something.

As a final note, I would like to apologize if my words in the original post or this comment were taken to be rude or vindictive in any way (that wasn't my intention at all, i was simply looking for explanation and I went about it in a fairly abrasive way). I appreciate mods and understand that they typically have a lot on their plates dealing with every single thread that pops up. I enjoy a good discussion and I've seen several comments removed or threads closed before their time for what seems like no good reason.
