Ok, I was bored and I also wanted to post something on my world, so I decided to work on this. Anyway, here's just a list of my favorite Zanpakuto spirits.
1-Haineko
Yes, my favorite Zanpakuto spirit is Haineko, Rangiku's Zanpakuto. I like her because she's so cute (the ears!) and her attitude is interesting too. She's a lot like Rangiku if you ask me. Although, whats different between Rangiku and Haineko is that Haineko always argues with Tobiume, Momo's Zanpakuto, whereas Rangiku and Momo get along well with each other.
2-Suzumebachi
The little bee!! Yup, Suzumebachi, Sui Feng's Zanpakuto is my second favorite! She's all cheeky and childish, quite unlike Sui Feng, and being tiny makes her even cuter! Although I do think the size gives her an advantage when in battle. She can slip through an enemy's grasp and sting them twice before they know it! Since she's Sui Feng's true personality, I wonder if Sui Feng will really act like that if she stops acting so serious? I wonder if Sui Feng ever gets annoyed with her...
3-Senbonzakura
Who knew Senbonzakura had such a short temper? Senbonzakura was one of the main Zanpakuto Spirits in the Arc, so I already liked him before, but the episode with Zabimaru made me like him even more! As Byakuya's Zanpakuto, you might expect him to be calm and collected just like Byakuya is, but since he is the true nature of Byakuya, I guess he really does have a short temper. His temper got him into lots of trouble, but since he acts all calm, no one suspects him. Zabimaru is gonna have their hands full! When he reveals his true colors, those are the moments I like him best. Of course, I like him whatever he is like.
4-Sode no Shirayuki
Alright! Rukia's Zanpakuto is fourth. What I like about Sode no Shirayuki is that she fights quite well. I guess you kind of expect her to be a bit weak considering she is known for her beauty other than her fighting skill. That's also considering she's wearing a long kimono. It's gotta restrict the movement of her legs, yet she is still pretty good at dodging. Her personality is closely matched with Rukia's and with a little bit of Senbonzakura too, considering Rukia and Byakuya are siblings, but she is pretty close to Rukia. Sode no Shirayuki is also quite motherly to me, she protects Rukia like a mother would.
5-Zabimaru
I find that Zabimaru is an interesting one. Zabimaru is both male and female, The two halves of Zabimaru argue with each other and yet, they are quite alike, like they are of one mind. Although, that is actually why I like them. So technically, Renji has two personalities?
6-Hyourinmaru
I don't really think Hyourinmaru matches Toshiro that much, after all he is always calm, whereas Toshiro get mad at Rangiku A LOT. And Rangiku used Hyourinmaru as her personal butler, something Toshiro would NEVER do. But, what I like about him is his relationship with Toshiro. He seems quite fatherly and would protect Toshiro like a father would. Hyourinmaru and Toshiro make a great team, as they work together quite nicely. I guess Toshiro being my second favorite character might play a part in giving Hyourinmaru a higher rank as a favorite Zanpakuto Spirit.
7-Katen Kyokotsu
Shunsui's Zanpakuto is interesting also. The twin Zanpakuto work together to take out the enemy. As Shunsui said once, as opponent is working to block the attacks from the smaller sword, which is faster than the larger one, the larger sword comes in for the finishing blow. I think that is a very interesting way of battle. As for the Zanpakuto spirits of Katen Kyokotsu, I find the "older one" is much like Shunsui, drinking sake with him and relaxing. The "younger one" is interesting too. She doesn't talk, yet she is like a child, playing games with 'sharp things'. What truly intrigues me is that she loves flowers. The episode with Nanao was also very cute. I like that two of them as they are.
8-Muramasa
Yes, Muramasa was the main villain in the Zanpakuto Arc for most of it, but his tragic past is what got me to like him. I mean, his master had a great power, but he didn't have a strong heart to control it, blaming others and jumping to conclusions. Muramasa stood by his master through all that, supporting him and accompanying him. Yet, his master turned on him and threw him away. I think, deep down, all Muramasa wanted to do was serve his master to his heart content. I don't believe he is evil, he only thought what he was doing was the right thing.
9-Ashisogi Jizo
Ok, so Ashisogi Jizo is number nine because I find him... cute. You might be thinking 'How is Ashisogi Jizo cute?' but, hey, I think he's cute, you don't have to. So anyway, Ashisogi Jizo doesn't really play a that big of a role in the Arc, so you don't see him that much, but when you do I somehow find him cute. His abilities are quite interesting too, the poison, the blades that come out of his neck, they are unique to him alone. The most interesting thing about him is that in his usual form, the one that looks like a butterfly, he fights calmly, when he is in his Bankai form, he acts kinda angry. He's an interesting little fellow.
10-Kazeshini
Alright, number 10 is Kazeshini. Basically the Zanpakuto that reaps souls. Even though he acts all tough and evil, I think he really does have a kind heart, as the episode with the baby described. He really does care for people, even though he acts like he doesn't.
So, I like 10 of the Zanpakuto Spirits meaning that the other ones I don't like that much, so it's a Top 10 for this one. I worked on this one by myself, so I don't think you will be seeing Hanako's up sometime soon...
Hmm... since I'm bored I might as well do a Favorite Inuyasha Character list or something...
