Design Your Zanpakutou!
 

Right, me and a few friends from work have decided to design our own zanpakutous, complete with abilities, name, trigger, shikai and bankai, aswell as a description of the zanpakutou's material form.

I will try and scan the pictures I've made at a later date, but for now, the description.

Name:
Shikkyaku Yuuhi (Falling Sun).

Type:
Fire Element.

Trigger:
"Touki saido, Shikkyaku Yuuhi!" (Rise again Falling Sun!)

Shikai:
A large axe with a sash attached to a curved bottom end. As it's a double-headed axe, there are four flaming shurikens, one on each side of each head. Two of them have a blue flame, and these have the ability to spin in a circle in order to create a protective barrier called boukaheki, meaning firewall. The other two shurikens become two large spikes which attack the opponent from two different angles. This ability is known as maguma yaribusuma, meaning magma spears.
In between the two heads of the axe, there is a bar, which collects the power of the attack just used and the reiatsu given out. When the bar becomes full, the sash catches fire and the attacks double in strength.

Bankai - Ikiryou Shikkyaku Yuuhi (Vengeful Falling Sun):
A cage of fire surrounds the opponent, attacked by four swordsmen, each one more mummified than the last, and stronger as they appear. There will then be a fifth swordsman, completely covered in flame.

Shikkyaku Yuuhi's material form:
Because fire is seen in both a positive and negative light, Shikkyaku Yuuhi is a hybrid, unpredictable creature. The hair has a spike at the top, another on the left which bends down at the end and one on the right that bends up, with long black hair at the back. Shikkyaku Yuuhi has a hollow mask and the vague sign of the hole that comes with being a hollow. He wears a trench coat made of ash, open at the bottom, though there is nothing inside. It isn't possible to tell if he has feet because that section is shrouded in smoke. One of his arms is human, but the other is green and mutated, with a two fingered claw at the end. This hand is always holding a bright orange sphere, which resembles the sun.

You don't have to do it as detailed as mine, but I have a lot of time on my hands ^.^"

Name:
Ci ga re tte su [Burning ashes]

Type:
Smoke

Trigger:
Ra i to [Lite me up]

Shikai:
A small stick for mobility, but very powerful.

Bankai - A ta ri na sa i [Hit it]:
The ability to chain smoke.

Ci ga re tte su material form:
The aromatic scent and intoxicated poison straight from Arabia.



Designer commentary:
I don't know how I came up with this great idea, it just hit me one day.
Well, I hope you guys enjoy my za np a k whatever.

Haha xD Ace.

Name:
Heaven's Fall [天の落下 ~ ten no rakka]

Type:
Light

Trigger:
may heaven judgment you! [天の判断はかもしれない ~ ten no handan hakamoshirenai!]

Shikai:
A rather small sword with inside a hidden sword that can be pulled out to lenghten the sword and so suprise the enemy with the lenght of the hidden sword. Then part that can be pulled out can also be twirled around so it forms a beautiful movement similar to clouds flowing trough the sky.

Bankai:
The part that can be pulled out turns into a bulb of light and casts millions of light beams to the foe. Similar to Byakuya's Bankai when he controlls them himself, but now only in white and not pink :D

Form:
unlike others Heaven's Fall does not have a form, it's just sort of a portal to heaven that inspires the 'master' of the sword.

Is the Shikai the same style as Gin's in the way it extends?

Nah not really, gin can extend his sword miles away but mine is more smaller but because of that it can move quicker.

Got my inspiration from a sword from the movie: Seven Swords



It's the one in the middle. So you see that it can split, well that part can go all the way to the top of the sword and so lenghten the sword. But it can also twirl around there so it makes sort of a defence/offence weapon.

RE @ Shikai: sounds complicated to use O__O . . . *runs up and jab you with a spork while you figure out how that is done*

RE @ Bankai: *puts on shade* problem solve lol xD

My own Zanpakutou
 

A description of my Zanpakutou

Name:
hyoukai mizuniukabuawa (Icy Bubbles) [ひょうかい みずにうかぶあわ]

Type:
Water and Ice

Trigger:
"ukiagaru, hyoukai mizuniukabuawa" (Float, hyoukai mizuniukabuawa) [fろあt, ひょうかい みずにうかぶあわ]

Shikai:
It's a rather long light blue sword with a chain that is connect to my left wrist. It can release millions of icy type bubbles that can surround the enemy and trap them in a chain of icy bubbles.

Bankai - soyokaze hyoukai mizuniukabuawa (Zephyr Icy Bubbles):
Round Icy fragments are launch towards the enemy in casting them in a large sphere of ice which makes them very fragile.

Hyoukai Mizuniukabuawa form:
It takes the form of a mermaid. She has long dark blue hair with crystal blue eyes. Her tail is blue with a hint of green and she wears a sapphire gem on her forehead which is the source of her powers.

YouTube - Seven Swords Fight (Fortress)
-> this will explain my zanpakutou alot i think. It's the second one in battle, you'll see.

@Kazumi: nice zanpakutou. :)

Why, thank you, Ichirin
