Character Outline
Minazuki's spirit takes the form of a slim humanoid figure covered in bandages and wearing a hood. Due to its bandages, it is unknown whether it is male or female.

Synopsis
Minazuki first appears when several Zanpakutō spirits are in a cave waiting for Muramasa's return. It is later seen in Soul Society, along with Sōgyo no Kotowari and Katen Kyōkotsu, as they approch the main office of the 1st Division. They are then confronted by Chojiro Sasakibe and apparently take Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai as their hostage. Minazuki is last seen along with the rest of the Zanpakutō spirits appearing before the Shinigami that have gathered at the Sōkyoku Hill.

Trivia

 * The last scene in the ending credits shows all the silhouettes of Zanpakutō spirits that then change into silhouettes of their respective release forms. Minazuki is seen on the left and seemingly changes into a regular katana, although more curved.
