This may be off-topic but, I've always wondered why does he have two swords in his sealed state and Shikai?

It's been confirmed that both of Ichigo's swords (in its shikai) consist of two different "Souls".

Would this same concept apply to:


 * Shunsui Kyoraku?


 * Jushiro Ukitake?


 * Shuhei Hisagi?

All 4 of these guys have dual wields in their Shikai state.

I believe because Shunsui and Jushiro are two of the oldest in the Soul Society and they've earned it. Why Kyoraku has two swords in his Zanpakuto's sealed state? I don't know.

Ukitake's Zanpakuto Spirits are twins and one of his attacks does have the 12th Zodiac sign Pisces in it.

Shuhei only has one sword and I think the hilt turns into a scythe as well.
