Forum:Byakuya's Sword

ok in episode 237 he stops ichigo with his shakia (possible bankai), does this mean he bested his own zanpukto without anyone knowing? or was he just watching the scene Fawcettp 09:43, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Could be, or maybe his zanpakto never really wanted to rebel, so it was trying to take down the insurrection from the inside, his fight with Byakuya was just a front to hide the true intent.--Ihaveaname 17:31, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

I believe it was a front as well. I mean the master of Shunpo could have dodged that attack especailly when he seen it comming. If you notice in the episode he did look back at the attack and he did not try to move or block. I think he is playing the background while his zanpakuto keeps face with the others sort of like a spy for the shinigami. Or atleast for what ever Byakuya's motives are.

The fact that Senbonsakura was heading toward Ichigo and a moment later Byakuya was standing on rooftop with his back to Ichigo makes me think that the Zanpakutou Senbonsakura was the one to use the cherry blossom attack and that Byakuya was merely watching from above, perhaps keeping tabs on his Zanpakutou for now. Otherwise Byakuya would have been required to use the attack, shunpo to a rooftop, and turn around all for dramatic effect unless he redirected the blossoms from the position we see him at. That's the only logical possibility that would support him having his Zanpakutou back under control. Yukikosakura 00:25, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Or Byakuya and Senbonsakura (sp, sorry I still don't have most of the names memorized) could be working toghether. Senbonsakura, noticed Ichigo was focused on Byakuya and used that opening to use a surprise attack. --Ihaveaname 19:21, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't make sense, Ihaveaname. Ichigo didn't even notice Byakuya until after he was attacked - either by Byakuya using his Zanpakuto again or by Senbonzakura. Twocents 19:48, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Twocents, yea that's probably right, I only watched the episode once, so the details are still a little fuzzy, but what I'm trying to get at is that Byakuya and Senbonzakura are working together, and that while the attack that went to Ichigo may have beeen Byakuya, it could have just as easily been Senbonzakura covering him from somewhere else, unnoticed. --Ihaveaname 19:53, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
