Kuchiki Byakuya

Rank: Captain
Zanpakutou info:
Shi-Kai → Senbonzakura (One Thousand Cherry Blossoms)
- release command → "Chire!" ("Scatter!")
One thousand blades that are so small they can not be seen, when those blades take flight the reflections of the light cause them to look like scattered flower petals. They scatter and shread the enemy.

Ban-Kai → Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (One Thousand Cherry Blossoms Brutal Shadows) Byakuya releases his zanpakutou and one thousand swords apear all around him. They rise from the ground then those thousand swords scatter and countless flying blades peirce through the enemy. No one knows the exact number of blades generated. No one can see the movements of those blades or dodge them, except Kurosaki Ichigo. Byakuya’s Ban-kai’s final stage is called Hakutieken (White Imperial Blade)

Zanpakutou: A Shinigami gains their Zanpakutou when they graduate from the academy. Each Shinigami has their own unique zanpakutou, and it reflects the owner’s personality and power. The Zanpakutou has two levels of release - Shi-kai (Initial Release) and Ban-kai (Ban release) which will increase the user’s attack power. But in order to do so, they must learn the Zanpakutou’s name and gain its cooperation.

Zanpakutou Guide:

Kurosaki Ichigo - Zangetsu (Cutting Moon) Larger than most zanpakutou, but it has little power due to the fact that Ichigo can’t control his spiritual pressure.

Shi-Kai : Zangetsu (Cutting Moon)
Giant zanpakutou as tall as Ichigo, because of Ichigo’s tremendous spiritual pressure Zangetsu can never go into it’s sealed state.
Zangeki: Getsuga Tensho (Moon Fang Striking The Sky) Zangetsu takes Ichigo’s spiritual pressure and releases the super high density pressure from the blade and the Zangeki becomes bigger then explodes.

Ban-Kai: Ten Sa Zan Getsu (Heavenly Chain Cutting The Moon)
Zangetsu turns pure black and is much smaller and sleeker than its shi-kai state, it looks very much like a normal zanpakutou. Though it looks normal all the abilities from Ichigo’s Ban-Kai are compressed into the small blade and it’s highest ability is super-human speed. Ichigo’s appearance also changes from normal shinigami garmants to a sleek black outfit with a black tattered cape, much like Zangetsu’s outfit. Hollow Ichigo can use a shooting attack called Black Getsuga ‘Black Moon Fang’

Zanpakutou’s true form: Middle aged looking man in a tattered black outfit.
