To open a quote:

place "div class="quote"" (without the enclosing "") inside of <>.

To close the quote:

place "/div" (without enclosing "") inside of <>. This can be done multiple times. Then just copy what you want to quote in between the opening and closing div tags.

I do agree that the sword beast arc show what the swords would most likely look like but due to it not being manga canon it may have continuity issues that go against canon material. That is basically why I don't see it being a reliable source of info.

The argument about what the zanpakuto spirit meant could be taken several different ways, you're right. Of course it was speculation, almost all of this is speculation, but that speculation is the foundation for the argument.

a child to have such monstourus spiritual pressure typically only occurs in noble families every few generations and by extension the common populous even less. It would be highly improbable for two people with that level of spiritual pressure to not only show up at about the same time but to also be immediately brought into close proximity to each other and form a bonds like that.

I was originally reffering to the skikai forms but yeah there is only one physically manifested zanpakuto spirit we've seen.
