Godisme is right, there is no bases of fact for your starting a argument. It is stated how a Zanpakuto comes about. In fact all of Godisme's explanations this entire discussion have been accurate. Near-death and dead are two separate things and not once in bleach has Ichigo been dead, that claim cant even be justified. You also are dealing in a great inaccuracy with the material. Someone doesn't just become a Shinigami because of an event, you either have the spiritual potential to be one or you dont. Tosen's friend dying didnt make him a Shinigami, it was a course he chose to take and her death influenced the choice largely based for his own personal revenge. Having the spiritual energy and the skill to manipulate and control it is what makes him a shingiami. In turn one goes to the academy to train their spiritual energy into something controllable. Also to state he didnt have a zanpakuto when his friend died may or may not be true, its subjective and pointless. That cant be determined by one or two panels of him walking around without one, many characters do this as well doesnt mean they dont have one. Also there is no vagueness on zanpakuto, so if in your view of Tosen doesn't fit, then its a early mistake and lack of clarification, the fact is we do know enough about zanpakuto that makes any insinuation brought on by the tosen concept pointless, its not a fact of how zanpakuto are obtained or work, it at best is a lone mistake brought about by a picture and concept that goes unconfirmed as well as a lack of continuity with consistent and established information. Constantly harping on it makes no difference, Tosen is dead, usage of the anime depicting the number of inaccuracies that it has in the past and in this last epsiode when it comes to manga based content is notorious and does not serve as confirmation of anything. Everyone please resolve to continue any conversation on the basis of Lemurs blog main point and stop spamming a dead discussion.
