Similarly to Kurotsuchi's Ashisogi Jizō, my zanpakuto would rely on chemical effects rather than strength or speed.

Name: Yūdoku kawa (toxic river) Appears as a katana with a silver habaki, the tsuba (hilt) is made of a light wood in the shape of a double left tomoe. Hilt is black.

Shikai command: Lacerate (Saku 裂く) Shikai ability/appearance: grows in size to a nōdachi in released form with a faintly dark-green yokote. secretes a smooth, fine coating of a liquid neurotoxin which is only visible by the change in light reflection along the blade. The toxin only acts upon contact with the bloodstream and causes loss of coordination and difficulty in breathing. The more of this coating makes contact with the blood, the greater the effects, eventually causing death by respiratory paralysis.

Bankai: Can't think of one.
