Suzumebachi (Zanpakutō spirit)

This article is about the manifested spirit of Soifon's Zanpakutō. For her Zanpakutō and its abilities see Suzumebachi

is the manifested spirit of Soifon's Zanpakutō that is seen during the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc.

Character Outline
Suzumebachi's spirit is similar to a small fairy-like creature wearing gold and black armor along with a stinger weapon (similar to Soifon's Shikai) covering her entire right arm (which is similar to Soifon's Bankai). She appears to emit a slight golden glow. She is rather childish, in contrast to Soifon, who rarely displays any sign of childishness except when the subject is her former mentor Yoruichi Shihōin.

Synopsis
She first appears when several Zanpakutō spirits are in a cave waiting for Muramasa's return, stating how men are useless. She, along with Tobiume, are the first to greet Muramasa as he returns, bringing a new member to their group, whom Suzumebachi comments looks kind of cool. She is last seen along with the rest of the Zanpakutō spirits appearing before the Shinigami that have gathered at the Sōkyoku Hill.
