her bankai does indeed seem like a missile since its the right shape and it fires out, however with the shape of the "armor" that accompanies it, while also the name "hornet thunder whip" which to me connotates a horse, i think its more likely its a jousting lance. before i had seen it it was described as a tomahawk missile and i went into it thinking i would see something like that but the second i saw it, i immediately thought, jousting lance; particularly because of the shape of the "spaulder" and face guard which comes up on her arm. what are your thoughts?

I still see it as a launcher of some kind, missle or otherwise. --Ihaveaname 14:27, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Considering it shoots a missile, I think it's clearly a missile. We've seen what it can do twice, so while you may think it'd be more interesting if it was a jousting lance, (I think it'd be more interesting if it was, too) you can't argue that's what it is when it's clearly not. She said it herself, that it's too heavy to move, and if you have a lance that's too heavy to move, then it's not a very effective lance. Plus, you can check the image you want yourself (image is large, so I'll just put the URL here: bleach.wikia.com/File:Soifon_ability.png); it clearly shoots a projectile. I also don't see how hornet thunder whip makes you think of a horse when it makes me think of a hornet, thunder and a whip. As for the armor, I think it's merely there for the sake of protecting her from the explosion of the missile. How's that saying go? If it looks like a duck, and acts like a duck, then it's a duck. Well, it looks like a missile, acts like a missile; it's a missile. It doesn't look like a jousting lance, doesn't act like a jousting lance; it's not a jousting lance.
