Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Indeed, "there is no other form, this is the true form of my zanpakuto", as well as the fight with Unohana where she pointed out him subconsciously sealing and limiting his power, which is the same thing it was said Ichigo did.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Well, googling Kenpachi's sword's name was a bit of a surprise.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
It makes sense from a design perspective as that meaning is connected to the image of a human skull.
Given how Ken's manifest power keeps popping up as a yellow skull, it one could say that Kubo even set it up.
Edit: Given how the iconography of nozarashi symbolizes the concepts of courage and preparedness, Kubo better not give it a two-dimensional power.Last edited by Hadrian_Emrys; 2014-04-09 at 01:21 PM.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Yeah, google images also results with mostly that skull motif thing.
One of the useful links for what Nozarashi may be.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
I would also like to point out to people that 'Nozarashi' could be his release command, rather than the zanpakuto name.
In fact, considering that the release command is supposed to come BEFORE the zanpakuto name, if he's actually releasing it, then it should be the command and we'll find out the name next chapter.
Of course I acknowledge that this can be countered by the argument that it's already in perma-release form, but it is something to be aware of, nonetheless.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Just because your shikai is in always released state does not mean you have used/unlocked your zanpaktou abilities. Also knowing your shikai name and working together with it increases your shikai power.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
I'm not sure whether to be concerned or not that Bleach is reaching power creep levels where characters are destroying asteroids. I guess I'll wait and see how things pan out before I decide.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
The way I see it, an asteroid ain't nothin' but a mountain from space.
Ichigo blew up a mountain by accident when fighting Butterflaizen(or was he Cthaizen at that point? should go back and reread).
By comparison taking out an imaginary asteroid on purpose isn't quite as impressive.
really it just means that the The Mane Characters and Local Badass are on Ichogo's level now.
Or at least, what Ichigo's level was back in Deicide. we don't actually know how strong ichigo is now that he has awakened his quincy powers, has a proper Zanpakuto instead of whatever his last one was, and has accepted that the hollow is part of him instead of a parasite.
All I know is he's better be at least Deicide strength with this build upI also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Also remember that Kenpachi was already slicing buildings on his debut, and Raw Power is his forte, after all. For another captain-level comparison, Gin was shaving building blocks with his bankai, and that wasn't even the bankai's true power.
It probably just looks too over-the-top since most battles in bleach are confined in some predetermined small space like KKT, Las Noches, Xcution building, and Seireitei.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Gin cut a town in half, Ichigo accidentally a whole mountain vs Butterflyzen (yes, it was before he Geigerized it up), and Mugetsu roughly translates as "**** everything in that general direction" I'm pretty sure.
Taking out a meteor, much less an imagination meteor, isn't much for Kenny.Engraved here is a rendition of an image of the Dwarf Fortress learning curve.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
SpoilerWeird. His sword was always in release state, but with a command it changed form. Have we seen this before?

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
That's just grooooooooooss! Keep your yaoi fantases away from meeeee! D:
Spoiler: As for this new chapter...I wouldn't take the release phrase literally. It never works like that. It looked to me like Zaraki vaporised most of the meteor (with the shattered remnants falling down around him) rather than his Zanpakuto absorbing it.
I figure Nozarashi's ability might make him stronger the more excited he is. What's more important, however, is that this is still "patched" Zaraki. Once he takes that eyepatch off, he's going to be even stronger."Don't think of it as dying," said Death,
"Just think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush."

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
SpoilerPerhaps his Zanpakuto's abillity is to change into diferant weapons based on need?
Though the command wouldn't make sense then.
Or maybe the new eye-patch lets him control his power enough to seal his Zanpakuto now, because knowing it's name shifted his shikai into it's true form.(which is too big to lug around all the time)I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Spoiler
I wouldn't be surprised. Yumichika's zanpakutou have two forms, with one being mispronounced. If Zaraki's sword was legit (and I still don't take his word for it) in Shikai state before, it could be that the previous one was the form for his "nameless" shikai (to be precise, the one where he didn't give a crap about the name).
