huami22 : Hi! This is another survey from me, huami22.. hehe ^^ this the : "thE Zanpakutō suRbeii... [suRvey!] .... Part 1... "
Question #1 : Which Zanpakutō is the one you want to have?
Question #2 : In what form? Shikai (始解)? or Bankai (卍解)?
A. Ichigo's Zangetsu(斬月)?
Zangetsu(斬月)is still very large, though not as large as its original form. It is pointed out by Junta, one of Urahara's shopkeepers, that Zangetsu lacked both a hilt and a hand-guard. It has the appearance of a large, black cleaver, with the curve of a katana. Zangetsu has no sheath, and is usually wrapped in cloth which remains tied to the handle during use.
Shikai Abilities:
Getsuga Tenshou (Moon Fang Sky Chargeis a dense blast of reiatsu released from Zangetu's blade during a slash, or fired from the tip of the blade as though it were a gun. It also appears that Ichigo has the ability to manipulate the shape of the Getsuga Tenshou depending on the manner in which it is used.
Bankai Abilities:
Tensa Zangetsugives Ichigo incredible speed, such that it surpasses the "Flash Step", a running technique said to be the fastest in Soul Society. This is due to the BanKai actually sealing up all of his unstable spiritual energy explaining why his his katana is so small compared to his ShiKai and Zanpakutou in sealed state. The downside of this is that Ichigo has yet to fully master his BanKai, and as such, it tires him after using it for a good duration, causing his speed to reduce.Tensa Zangetsu also has the ability to fire a Getsuga Tenshou, though it is colored black instead of blue like the ShiKai form of the attack. This attack in BanKai form is called "his technique" by Ichigo, in reference to the Hollow which resides within Ichigo. Multiple uses of this technique causes Ichigo to lose control to his Hollow side.
B. Yamamoto's Ryūjin Jakka (流刃若火)?
Ryūjin Jakka (流刃若火) the most ancient one in Soul Society, as well as being the most powerful fire type, and has greater attack power than all other Zanpakutō in Soul Society. In its sealed form, Ryujin Jakka usually takes the appearance of a harmless walking staff. At anytime, Yamamoto can instantly remove that disguise to reveal its true form of a standard katana with a dark red handle and a circular handguard. Its power is so great that even the strongest of Shinigami are afraid of it even in its sealed form.
Shikai Abilities:
[BShikai Special Ability:When released, Ryūjin Jakka's blade is engulfed into fire. The aura of this weapon can disintegrate anything that Yamamoto waves the sword at, changing it into nothing more than ash and engulfing the surrounding landscape in flames. Only powerful fighters such as Kyōraku and Ukitake can resist it. Even in its Shikai, Ryūjin Jakka's power is enough to fight against two other captains' Shikai simultaneously. Unlike other zanpakutō shown so far, resealing Ryūjin Jakka does not deactivate any ability already used against an opponent, as seen in Yamamoto's fight against Aizen
Jōkaku Enjō (城郭炎上)this ability of Ryūjin Jakka creates a sphere of flame to imprison enemies.
Number One: Nadegiri (撫で斬り)this ability of Ryūjin Jakka creates a large turmoiling flame that possesses the characteristics of a physical blade cutting through solid objects and beings with ease.
Bankai Abilities: (Not Yet Revealed)
C. Soi Fon's Suzumebachi (雀蜂)?
Suzumebachi (雀蜂It shrinks into a stinger that is worn on the middle finger of Soi Fon's right hand. Whenever it cuts an opponent, a butterfly symbol called a hornet's crest (蜂紋華, hōmonka?) spreads from the point of contact. Should Suzumebachi stab the same location again, the opponent dies.This also holds true if an internal organ is pierced in the same location, regardless of the point of entry into the body.
Shikai Abilities:
Shikai Special Ability:Totally integrated into her natural abilities with flash steps, Suzumbachi’s ability indeed proves deadly. It is called Death in Two Steps (Nigeki Kessatsu), and in its first step, Soifon stabs her enemy with Suzumbachi’s blade. Not only leaving a rather deep wound, the attack leaves a stamp on the user’s body. Spreading from the center of wound, known as a Hornet's Crest (蜂紋華, hōmonka), this stamp becomes the target of Soifon’s second attack. If struck in this same spot that was hit the first time, the person will inevitably die and thus illustrate "Death in Two Steps." The crests are maintained by Soifon's will and are impossible to remove unless she wills it; when Yoruichi was still running the Special Forces, Soifon could only maintain the crests for half an hour.
Bankai Abilities: (Not Yet Revealed)
D. Unohana's Minazuki (肉雫唼)?
Minazuki (肉雫唼)is slightly longer than an ordinary katana, and resembles a nodachi The guard has an oval shape and the handle is red. Instead of tying it to her obi, Unohana carries her Zanpakutō over her shoulder by a rope strap or lets Isane carry it for her.
Shikai Abilities:
Shikai Special Ability:When unsealed, Minazuki transforms into a giant, flying, one-eyed manta-ray.It is large enough to transport many people on its back (at least a dozen, based on its size when compared to those riding it). Additionally, it can swallow even more people and transport them in its stomach, healing their injuries at the same time. When Unohana reseals Minazuki, it dissolves into green mist and reforms into the sheath of her Zanpakutō.
Bankai Abilities: (Not Yet Revealed)
