Forum:Kaname tosen

kaname's shikai
i noticed that his first shikai ability has Suzumushi in the name like most others but his second had benihiko. so i was thinking that if it is true that the sword is his friends and the ring is his zanpakuto(not saying it is and not saying it isn't) than maybe "cry Suzumushi" is his shikai and "Smash His Limbs Benihikō" is the swords(his friends ability) shikai. what do you think?Soul reaper magnum 18:06, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Its probably something like Rukia's dances, just something he learned over time. Its kind of like Benihime using that blast and the blood shield. KamikazeNewf 23:01, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

guess so, i just thought it was a possibility,and that his bankai uses this ring and not the sword. i know that there are other captians that keep there sword in bankai but it is still used in some way.and i forgot to mention that if there's any thing else about tosen that anyone wants to talk about you can do it here.Soul reaper magnum 05:20, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

speaking of this, i was thinking if tosen purposely did not use his bankai's other abilities (supposedly) during his fight with zaraki and let himself lose. or, maybe it's really just that zaraki is more powerful than tosen. i just think there's more to tosen's fighting ability since he's one of the main villains. --WinterFox 07:44, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I am firm believer that Tosen was holding back during that battle. I feel that he healed to quickly from that blow from Kenpachi as well as his current cofidence level during the FKT arc. There have not been one person he backed down from or one he beleives that he cannot kill. I mean he attacked Shinji with no question at all. Knowing he was a Vizard and that he was a Captain before he became one. I think Tosen is holding back and I think that some of the strenghts that he is not showing will be shown in the fight between him and Komomura (excuse the spelling) and Shuhei.Tealang99 16:24, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

The reasoning you gave is flawed you cant say he was holding back and then say he doesn't back down. He obviously dosen't back down but theres nothing more to that. If you hold back against Kenpachi you arent gonna win, your gonna get killed thats a fact. He used shikai and bankai and lost the fact that he got healed really quick is no different from Ichigo getting healed really quick multiple times without Orihime or kenpachi getting healed really quick as well so thats not a good reference. Also he took on shinji who was a captain but he was a incapacitated captain and Aizen, gin and tosen didn't even know what a vizard was let alone to shinji it was the beginning stages of hollowfication not what they currently are. That was also anime only fight to flesh out the story in anime it never took place in manga. If there was anyone who knows what tosen is capable of its hisagi and komamura, doubtful they would be surprised. Even though i agree he has more skill he has yet to use holding back wouldnt be the term id use. As for his shikai one is defensive and the other offensive there is no proof of anything otherwise. as for his bankai its pretty straight forward what the ability is. He obviously is weaker then kenpachi which really isnt a surprise but out of Aizen and gin and himself he is obviously the weaker. We can speculate forever but he lost with bankai to kenpachi and knowing kenpachi would that be a smart tactic, no. Salubri 17:33, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
