Forum:Zanpakuto Arc

I am really excited for this arc to see and gain more info on zanpakuto and to gain more understanding of the various zanpakuto spirits which we most likely would never see otherwise. My only issue is how are the shinigami supposed to fight in this situation they have no releases and i guess that means back to basics. I would also surmise that the reason the general was captured compared to the others is that he is so old and his zanpakuto his so attuned to him it probably wont turn against him no matter the spell its to old and powerful. I could be off we will see but also notice they sent the three oldest and most powerful zanpakuto spirits after his to him (minzuki-unohana, sode no kotowari-ukitake, and katen kokotsu-kyoraku). I also think its obvious that most likely maratsuma is a rogue zanpakuto spirit, it might not be it either but i dont know we will see.Salubri 03:33, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

This filler is gunna be uber-epic pwnage. I'm wanting to see Zaraki's, Benihime, and Yoruichi's zanpaktou spirits. I was surprised Senbonzakura Kageyoshi looks like that, I was expecting a Muramasa-type appearence. Only 6 days till 231! woot!

yeah this arc is gonna freakin awesome but i highly doubt that were gonna see anyones zanpakuto spirit that havent shown atleast shikai. i wonder if everyones gonna fight there own. it would be awesomeOne eyed king 04:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

EPIC TO THE MAX!!!! MORE INFO!!!! MORE ACTION!!!

But seriously...............this arc is gunna be awesome :D Kazeshini is awesome, BERSERKER!!!! Such a contrast to Shūhei. Tobiume is just like Momo, quiet and polite

I'm liking the Zanpakuto info sessions that are at the end of the episodes.

We've seen Zaraki's and Urahara's, and I'm sure they will. If not, it could end up like an Ichigo vs Hichigo type of thing, where the one with the greatest will wins.

HOLD THE PHONE!!!!! Who has seen Zaraki's and Urahara' zanpakuto?

if your referring to the lady with the eyepatch and skull ornament, she belongs to Shunsui Kyoraku AuronValentine 04:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

My bad :p I meant to say we've seen thier Shikai. As Zaraki is constant release and Urahara when he fought Yammy. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Ugcaveman

AAHHH!!!!! No probs dude :D

Just as a side note/idea, do you think they took Yamamoto to release his zanpakutos spirit, think bout it, incredible power, oldest known zanpakuto and has never been beaten in combat (that we know of) =  one bad ass spirit

any thoughts? AuronValentine 07:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

just a couple of quick questions
 * 1 could the spirit with the heavy weights, chains, and looks like he is shriveled up,[] be the spirit of zaraki's (as zangetsu noted that like zaraki he is weakening himself to lengthen his fights)
 * 2 while in ichigo's inner world zangesu said it was not his vioce??? any opinions on this

The guy with all the weights is Wabisuke, Izuru's zanpakuto, in the episode, you can clearly see him holding his shikai form. and the thing with ichigo in his inner world was probably Muramasa trying to convert Zangetsu, but couldn't reach him.. AuronValentine 08:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I think Zangetsu will be excepted as well as Benihime and Yoruichi's zanpakuto as they are in the real world, where Muramusa wants to take over Soul Society, perhaps he cannot reach those that are in the real world. That would make sense to me at least. Also keeping Zangetsu on Ichigo's side makes for many potentially awesome fights and purely for that I think he'll stay with Ichigo.

ok i guess that makes sense (plus ichigo gets power from both hollow and zangetsu so uber sweat battles ahead), ok so what about the 2 guys to the left of the spirit with the mace Fawcettp 09:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

the one in the cloak, not a clue the one with the box on his back and long pole, is possibly Chōjirō Sasakibe zanpakuto, Gonryōmaru, cause in the credits it shows him shifting into the shape of rapier. hope that helps :D AuronValentine 09:20, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
