View Full Version : Coolest Soul Cutter name and ability?

So which Soul Cutter name and ablity do you like?

I personally love Kira's Soul Cutter, Wabisuke. I like both the name and ability, especially the meaning behind the name. It's ability is to double the weight of the opponenets Soul Cutter.

Wabi meaning misery and Suke a common ending on boy names. Because when the opponents Soul Cutter is to heavy the person holding it won't be able to stand straight and with a facial expression of misery.

How cool is that?

I also like the name of Urahara's Soul Cutter, Benihime just sounds cool and funny(Right Terra?)

ichigos is clearly the best and coolest, it can shoot energy beams, and when it goes bankai it looks sick as and the ability gained is simple yet powerful.

This is one damn hard question. I'm also a big fan of Wabisuke. I also enjoy how Shinsou (Gin's) can extend. And Aizen's hypnotic abilities.
But my favorite might just be Byakuya's. It's so fucking cool how it scatters, especially the way he says "Zenbonsakura" or something like that.
Ukitake's awesome twin swords are badass too (cooler than Shunsui's IMO) though they both have nice weapons (2 swords at the same time = awesomeness).

And finally, Princess Benny is of course wonderful too (insider joke)

Coolest one......
That would have to be a tie for me between Zangetsu and Ukitake's swords(can't remember name)

I like Zangetsu because the Bankai is small and insanly powerful. I hated all those Bankai that became huge monsters. Ukitake's swords were kick ass because they were pretty unique in the manga and had
the coolest owner. Beside them, Zenbonsakura was also kick ass. Man this was a hard question.

Benihime really sounds coolest and its ability to shoot eneryballs or something is cool too. And since its Uruharas it has to be the best

I agree with Terra Byakuya's soul slayer is the best i especially liked in the hour long episode when he did ban kai

This is seriously a hard ass question.

Damn ..

I can't even decide on a top one, but I have three favorites:

01. ??; Byakuya's Bankai _
I forgot it's name, but GOD DAMN it's tight as hell. The thousands of blades rising from the ground, only to scatter into a countless, immeasurable, unfathomable, outrageously and monstrously immense (Get the drift? i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif) number of blades is ridiculous.

And, like Terra said - it's so coo' when Byakuya says "Scatter." and / or the names of his Zanpakutoh's techniques.

02. Zangetsu; Ichigo's Bankai _
Sleek, slender and all black. This blade is so sweet looking. Like someone said, it isn't all flamboyant or transmutated into something insane - it's just raw power refined and compressed into a sweet looking sword.

03. Hyourinmaru; Hitsugaya's Bankai _
It's a frikkin' Dragon! And, it's made of ice and can control the weather. Straight pimp.

Would of been cooler if he did something though, Azien pretty much ended that in about a minute.

I like Hinamori's shikai - where she shoots out that pink energy ball. Something about that is so cool XD.

I really like Zabimaru for some reason as well. Partly because I really like the hand motion Renji does when releasing it.

I'm in agreement about Byakuya's Bankai as well. The dramatic effect when he says "scatter" and then you see the "petals" floating around is just soooo cool.

Quick question: Do we know Ichigo's "command" for Zangetsu (for example: "Scatter, Senbonzakura", "Howl, Zabimaru", "Rasie your head...", "Cry out..." etc)??

Zangetsu is so awsome, he doesn't need one. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

@PSJ: Yeah, Kira's is awsome, but you only said half of its abilty. Every time it hit the sword hit doubles
in wieght. Once the wieght becomes too much, it's wielder kneels down and waits to die. Thats an awsome ability.

Tue, 10-11-2005, 02:04 PM
Kira's soul slayer is pretty clever. Forcing the opponent to "bow down" as if they're apologizing while that is the name of the soul slayer. With this ability, I wonder how well he would do against some captains (ex. Zaraki), although they might be able to hold on for a LONG time.

As for my favorite.... damn, it's such a hard choice... I guess it would be a tie between Byakuya and Ichigo, for reasons already stated by the above posters.

Read what i wrote again. Wabisuke's ability is to double the wieght of the opponents Soul Cutter, not more than that. The only reason the opponent kneels is because of the weight put on the Soul Cutter which is the ability.

I don't get what's so cool about Ichigo's and Byakuya's Soul Cutters, can someone please enlighten me?

Okay, okay, I see what you mean...

Back on topic, Zenbonsakura(Byakuya's) Shatters itno a thousand pieces and can attak from any angle.
The Bankai does that also, but with a much higher amount a "blades". That why everyone loves
Zenbonsakura, it's damn near impossible to defeat. As for Zangetsu, I already put why I like it in my first
post. Everyone else's reasons range from it being cool to being Ichigo fanboys i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Tue, 10-11-2005, 04:15 PM
To me Zenbonsakura is to similar to every other wind based techniques that exist in shounen shows. As for the Zangetsu part my guess is that fanboy-ism is more common then actually having a reason to why you like it.

Most of the captains soul slayers and unique and differeny in many ways. Well apart from Gin and Zaraki and well maybe even kommamura

In any case , i dont like Byakuya's bankai. What the hell, its the same thing as the shikai only with more blades that can actually become whole swords. Thats why i kinda thought Renji's bankai was little lame too. When i think of a bankai, i somehow picture a much different kind of form of a soul cutter not another bigger badder version of the Shikai

A QUESTION: To what extent are manga spoilers permitted in this thread?

Ichigo's Bankai will have it's fanboy appeal.

He already is a well liked character, and is the main attraction of the show. That alone will cause attention to be drawn his way.

However, I for one appreciated his Bankai for it's look and ability. In all honesty, the majority of Bankai's were ostentatious representations of their Shikai. Byakuya for example, had hundreds of blades as opposed to a single one separating and scattering into a countless amount of blades travelling within the wind, and all attacking at once. Tousen's sword was no longer a sword, but its own realm, which snatched away the victim's senses, rendering them helpless. Renji's Bankai was a collosal mutation of his Shikai.

Ichigo's was the opposite. It wasn't a giant figure with some nigh-omnipotent ability, like Komamura (what that his name?) or Mayuri's. It was smaller than the previous sword, and frikkin' black! The ability of near instant movement was amazing, too. I cannot wait to see it animated. It's sure to remind me of Rock Lee. But, I thought the incredible speed boost was very coo', considering in most games I play where speed is a factor (RPGs and such), that's the stat I'm aiming to build. If you can get that first strike in, and make it count, you bring yourself closer to ensuring victory. That's how I see it anyway, and that's why I like Zangetsu.

As for Byakuya's Bankai .. read Terra's post. I'm sure he'll repeat himself again, with his love for Zenbonsakura before the night's up. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

P.S. -- I like Kira's Zanpakutoh, as well.

i love zangetsu for the reasons strider stated above, i couldnt care who weilds it, whether it was ichigo or that damn ganju. also kiras sword has a mojor drawback (it was only his shikai yea?) and that is if the oppenent can fight without having to touch his sword. like byakuya and ichigos shikais and bankais allow them to bypass the sword (ichigos bankai depends on the speed and skill of his oppenent). otherwise for lesser people kiras sword will do fine

Knives122
Tue, 10-11-2005, 07:09 PM
well Ichigo's bankai ability has a battery like drawback, it starts off as being effective but as the battle goes on the battery wears down. So it's more like a "do it, and do it fast(no pun intended)" type thing

Tue, 10-11-2005, 07:16 PM
does it? i thought him slowing down was a result of byakuya and his bankai, hmm

damn kick ass sword..like the way it extends much better than gin's zanpuktoh.
benihime and byakuya's zanpuktoh gets the tie for second..can't choose between the two :S

There is no command for Zangetsu it is an always released soul slayer type. But I know when he uses bankai he announces its name " Tensa Zangetsu!!"

Knives, you missed one key statement at the end of that page: "Your body is dieing." It isnt a battery effect, Ichigo's body was simply so beaten and battered that he is slowing down. Ten Sa Zangetsu doesnt have a battery. Speed is speed, but Ichigo has been getting his ass kicked since he entered Soul Society.

As for my fav Soul Cutter, It's a close one between Genryuusai and Ichigo. Genryuusai is cool because it's a walking stick that transforms into a hellstorm of fire and overall ownage. Ichigo has a pretty badass one because of it's speed, look, and name(Heavenly Chain Cutting the Moon....Best name for a sword EVER).

Edit: Dezalanel, I think I know the command to release Zangetsu. Ichigo looks at all the noobs, whips out his soul cutter and says, "Pwn them Zangetsu."

Everyone then dies from the awesomeness.

This thread is not about the strength of the diffrent soul cutters but the cool-ness of them so discussing if Kira's coul cutter is weak against the 2 i called boring is not really relevant here, if you want do discuss the actual battle strength of the soul cutter i suggest you start your own thread about it.

The Coolest Soul Slayer over all is prolly Kyouka Suigetsua aka Aizen's Mind Raping Stick, i mean come on, you can hypnotize people and make them love you, or kill each other or anything, you can never lose a fight...i'm sure Ichigo will have to find a way to beat him eventually though...maybe it doesn't work on Hollows??? Whatever.

Honorable Mention:
Suzumushi - Any decent fighter would never lose a fight with this, plus it sonds cool

Non One-Turn-Kill Honorable Mentions:
Zangetsu - A+ for style, no one has looked cooler than Ichigo holding this simple black blade.
Ryujin Jakka - A+++ for style, ignore above, raging fire storm beats no fire at all

that means that in the fight of kira vs hinamori hinamori would've owned his ass. even though wabiskue makes hinamori's zampukou heavier, hinamori is a hadou specialist so she could've dropped the sword and owned his ass, technically anybody who had goo denough hadou skills could beat kira because thats the extent of his power.
