Actually Lemurs, we do know how a Zanpakuto is formed. A Zanpakuto is formed when a Shinigami learns to materialize their reiryoku into sword form. The Zanpakuto then is nothing more than a physical form of the user's reiryoku. It cannot exist without the Shinigami. This is fact and has been stated on multiple occasions. Anyone spouting otherwise is in violation of our Speculation Policy and multiple violations of such will lead to a ban. Move on, this discussion is closed.
