I think it was said early on that a persons zanpaktou reflects thier personality and rietsu. As for rukia's zanpaktou, its more snow then ice. during the last ep, the mod soul mentions that her zanpaktou is "pure as snow". And also that its the most beautiful of all snow/ice zanpaktous. So it does reflect her personality, not as an ice queen, but as a pure spirit, someone who belongs to the most prestigous noble house in SS.
a good thought there assasin....but how are bankais made for each character do they use the same criteria...beacause i don't see why renji has a snake bankai and ichigo a small but very cool zanpaktou
Just to add some names to the little list Neo made.
Zan - Kyouraku Shunsei and Ukitate Jyuushiro with their dual wielding swords. Didn't seem to have any element the little time we saw them.
Well, I'm sure they do have some special powers, and we just don't know yet if they are elemental or something else. Just having two swords instead of one isn't quite worth calling it shikai, I guess...
But then again, Ikkaku's shikai is "just" a spear.Originally Posted by Kraco

Yeah. But I don't expect Ikkaku to become a captain, ever. It seems pretty likely there can be even big differences in the theoretical max potential of various zanpakutou, just like the shinigami themselves are some weak, some average, and some truly powerful. So, while Ikkaku's shikai is just a spear, I expect the two captain to have something more extravagant - they likely wouldn't be captains otherwise.
Edit: A typo.

In the Heat of the soul for the DS it shows that Kyouraku Shunsei's Zanpaktou has Wind Element. So I take it that he also has that in the manga/anime.
