Bankais that need to be seen
In my opinion there are two people that i think Tite Kubo cannot end the series without showing their bankai's,and those two are deffently: Uhrahara,and Gin. Ever since Uhrahara said to Renji "My bankai isnt for lending power" ive been sooooo annxious to see what it is. Gin was my favorite Captin before he left the Soul Society (now its Ukitake),and im wondering if his bankai is going to be long range or something else (???) Any inputs on other Bankais?Havefun221 14:23, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Most probably won't happen but i'd like to see a interesting royal guard's bankai, i'd also like to see Flower coat's, Kenpachi's if they ever let him discover his zanpaktou's name, Isshin's, urahara's needs to be seen i co-sign that, ukitake's they need to find a cure 4 that guy it really kills me 2 see him sick and the old guy's bankai idon't think that will happen either.

Ones that we will most definitely see: Shunsui's (it has been mentioned in the Manga that he is definitely going to use bankai, he just doesn't know when), Gin and Aizen (they are left fighting the entire Gotei 13, I think they are bound to show at least some power to stay alive), the Captain lvl Vizards (Love, Rose, Shinji, unless they die too soon to show them)

Ones that are questionable: Urahara (probably will because they have mentioned his bankai already in the series, and won't let fans down), Unohana (also about fans, we want to see it happen, so it might), Captain Commander Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto (this one is a toss-up, we want to see it, and are badly wanting to see his full power, and what the leader of all Gotei 13 has to offer us in the form of a Bankai, but idk if he will actually release it), Tessai (pretty sure he has one, since he was a captain after all), Yoruichi (probably not gonna see it), Ukitake (he might actually already be dead /shrug, if not, i doubt he will actually show his bankai, no clue), Muramasa (maybe? he is a zanpaktou after all, and he seems to be somewhat powerful, so he probably has a bankai form he has yet to show us, not sure though)

we have already seen a lot of Bankai forms from a lot of individuals. the only thing i hope for is that some of the Vice Captains, and even lower "important characters", achieve bankai so we can see how cool they look. it helps to at least show the good shinigami improving to the point of gaining more power for themselves.(best example of this is Renji, he wanted to be much stronger, so he trained his ass off to achieve bankai) we will see what happens, and i am also pretty sure this series is going on for a long long long long time.(in Japan Bleach is a very popular series and everyone loves it, and easy to market towards those people, in America it is another anime/"cartoon"/manga which some people love and some don't even care to watch. As long as they have a crowd in Japan that is dying for more Bleach, they are going to supply it.Bk1217 16:46, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I would love to see Yumichika's bankai some day. His shikai is allready really powerful, so the bankai could be something really special. Though I doubt we will ever see it, he's not that major character. --Akeki 15:04, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

I want to see everyone who has a bankai,bankais'. The two main ones are Aizen and Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.Flaminghorse 12:28, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Flaminghorse.. everyone; especially the Vizards who have them ofcourse.--Captain Brooks 18:29, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Captain-Commander Yamamoto's Bankai
will Captain-Commander Yamamoto use his bankai to fight aizen? why hasent he used it yet? is he afraid of his bankai or what it could do? what do you think? Darkgoku 02:31, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

I think he intends to leave most of the battling to his subordinates, which is the impression I got from the way he mocked Kira and the others for needing help taking out Allon. That's my inclination anyway. Twocents 02:33, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

It would be funny twist if it turned out that he doesn't have bankai at all, just really powerful shikai :P --Akeki 05:00, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * That's taking crack too far. Actually, it's one of my pet peeves, this "maybe they don't have bankai" business. I have heard it about Aizen, people insisted, INSISTED Soifon didn't have one and it just goes on and on. Only Kenpachi doesn't have one and it was emphasised that Kenpachi was the only one in the history of Soul Society to become a captain without bankai. I don't see why people even bother saying other captain class Shinigami don't have bankai. It's not even funny. Tinni 02:33, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

ya, that would be funny. i can see it to, some one would say *caption yamamoto i think you should use your bankai*, and he says *i....don't have one.* lol. Soul reaper magnum 08:16, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

what do you mean Soul reaper magnum? that old fart may have a bankai but he is to strong to show it all around him. - Elisku

He hasn't used his bankai yet, cause he hasn't needed to. Hes only been in one real fight, when he fought Shunsui & Jushiro. They didn't use their Bankai so his was uneeded. We are all thinking the same thing, why hasn't he challenged Aizen directly. Yamamoto is the only Soul Reaper who has a chance of taking down Aizen one-on-one. I think when we get back to the FKT he will challenge Aizen & we will finally see his Bankai. Minato88 10:05, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

ya probably, still i wonder what it'll be?Soul reaper magnum 11:24, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

His bankai is most probably a super charged fire version of toshiro's, seeing as he reached the peak of his shinigami powers,  it might even be dangerous 4 people to b around when released.Kissmybankai 14:22, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

I really hope that its a nice transition from Shikai to Bankai. In my opinion, Byakuya's was by far the best transition, its basically his Shikai just increased in size. Though Yamamoto's Shikai is so damn huge and powerful, I wouldnt even know what it could be. But that giant Sokyoku phoenix would of been really cool in my opinion. I just hope it isnt something like Ichigo's or Soi Fon's KamikazeNewf 02:23, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I call Fire Dragon! Tinni 02:35, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

sorry about that tinni we're just having a little fun.Soul reaper magnum 04:31, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

not saying that Ichigo's or Soi Fon's bankai is crap,but by the looks of it Soi Fon is at her max, it would be preety ownage to have a missile,but it's not like people whould stand there and tank it. if it made like spiritual energy seeking missile and does alittle more powerfull than i would say her bankai wouldn't be so bad, maybe she can learnd how to charge the missile up with her Shunkō becasue she can't use her bankai too often, atlease not one after another... and though Ichigo's bankai can't really get anywere more,he still got his hollow to lv up.

i'm pretty sure Soi Fon's Bankai can lock on, because it takes time to (what it seems like) "lock-on" a target, the only downfall is it takes time to prepare, and once it gets shot, just about anything in a certain square miles, gets blown to all hell. I think her Bankai (even though not exactly what i expected) is actually pretty bad-ass. She can pretty much blow just about anything away in a heartbeat. The only reason it didn't blow Barragan away is because he lessened the damage by causing it to blow up a distance away from him. Yet the shockwave was still unbelievably strong.idk i kinda like it anyways. i kinda wanna see it more now just to see what it can actually do to a real target, not someone who decays everything that he wants to.

 * NOOOO Soi Fon's like an assassin, why give her a freaking bazooka ffs. SNIPER RIFLE WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER --(QQ)∞wertyasdf 14:22, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

i don't think they would put the center on her any more, somethink hit me that a few more people have already outplay their part.but i would still like to see what happen when she charge up the missile up with her Shunkō.

Fire dragon lol yeah that sounds good TinniKissmybankai 11:56, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

The Kikko (Soukyoku fire bird)would have made a good Bankai for Genryusai; but we'll just have to wait and see...--Captain Brooks 18:34, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Stronger/Strongest Bankai so far
This was getting a bit long, but feel free to continue the discussion here. --Yyp 12:42, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Komamura's bankai is extremely strong, but he has to actually hit something for that to work. He owned Poww easily coz he was too slow to dodge. Ichigo would run rings around him.

I have to that Ichigo's bankai is the strongest so far. Ichigo's bankai is the bestest on for combat. Ichigo could beat Senbonzakura Kageyoshi and Daiguren Hyōrinmaru because he could dogne their attacks.Flaminghorse December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I think probably the best Bankai in my opinion would have to be Tosen's. Simply because it removes all of your senses except for feel, so you can feel the blade piercing your skin. Just to be in that situation would be absolutely terrifying in its own right, let alone someone walking around stabbing you. KamikazeNewf 17:50, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Come on... Tousen's bankai was trashed by Kenpachi who doesn't even have a bankai. Out of all the currently shown bankais i would say tensa zangetsu is the strongest. Also am a fan of daiguren hyorinmaru purely due to the no of attacks he gains in bankai. Kishen1912 06:40, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
