I would guess only spoilers that relate to an acual soul slayer's ability are allowed.

Yup.

We'll forgive you, though.

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

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. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

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]

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

[basey44]

does it? i thought him slowing down was a result of byakuya and his bankai, hmm

[Phoenix20578]

Well, that speed anyone would wear down. You can't stay at that speed forever.

nope, it says so right here:





Battery Effect, and the only person that can keep up that speed is The Flash.....but he's not here

oh one more thing, I swear to god that if they make Senbonzakura Kageyoshi Hakuteiken pink I will be killing someone

Then get your sword ready. All signs point to yes.

[aznroyale]

Even if Byakuya doesnt use his soul slayer, hes pretty powerful with his magic attacks

[urahara_rulez]

like benihime, cause it's the only sword you can disguise as a walking stick!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

we expect the outcome, but i would like to know the details how he is killing the person lols

[john_doe_107]

fave is zabimaru..but i don't like the bankai as much
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

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

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!!"

[EpyonNext]

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.

[Yukimura]

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

[Terracosmo]

Ryuujin Jakka definitely has the coolest phrase to release it.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

STYLE!

[Konohamaru]

I like zabimaru, shinsou and 1st captains one.

[Ban Kai]

I like Hyourinmaru, Yamamoto's Zanpakutou, Zangetsu, Ukitake's Zanpakutou, and Shunsui's Zanpakutou. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
