Questions about Zangetsu

ShinigamiDiomedes201 · Aug 19, 2007, 10:08 PM

I have got this question that been bothering me for some time, about Kurosaki's Zanpakuto, Zangetsu. When Ichigo first became a Shinigami, he was wielding what looked like a normal Zanpakuto, except for the fact that it was huge. Then it was broken by Kuchiki Byakuya, right? Then he learned that his Zanpakuto's name was Zangetsu, and released it. And now he carries that huge cleaver around in the unsealed state all the time. Was the first sword the sealed form of Zangetsu, and if it was, why can't Ichigo seal it back? I am fairly new to the Bleach series, and was wondering if the Bleach veterans here could answer this question for me.

Its explain in the Manga so I heard, but in the Anime its just Like this:

Ichigo powers are just to high.

It's kinda like Kenpachi Zaraki and his sword. Except Kenpachi Zaraki Doesn't know the name of this sword. Doesn't stop the fact that his sword is released. He's power is just strong like that.

You should wait to finish the show or Read the Manga.

Anywho !

To round it up Ichigo's Zanpakuto always in Shikai State.

EDIT::

I meant that it wont change back to normal because the user has enough spiritual pressure to sustain it. Like what Kenpachi Zaraki can do.

To add to what K just stated:

When Ichigo first became a Soul Reaper/Shinigami it was through using Rukia Kuchiki's powers, not of his own. His own Soul Reaper ability didnt come out til his training with Kisuke Urahara. So basically til the point Ichigo released his OWN powers as a soul reaper he was using his borrowed strength from Rukia. Could he have achieved Shikai and Bankai on borrowed power? That I have no idea...^^;

Thanks you guys, it was really helpful! One funny thing I noticed though, is that you two are both actual Veterans in AO. When I said "Bleach veterans", I meant those people who have watched/read it more than me

. That doesn't matter though, your help was excellent, I just noticed it and thought it was slightly funny.

Hi ive been wondering about zangetsu, ive been thinking that the hallow inside ichigo has been thier from the start but it seemed to be dominated by zangetsu itself, yet later in the series the hallow claimed that it itself was infact zangetsu! i was ondering if anyone had any views on this and any theorys on whats actually going on in poor old ichigos head :P

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about that, too... I guess that also has something to do with the way that Hollow mask keeps getting found on Ichigo's person. Hmmm... some kind of enlightenment would be helpful....

zangetsu and ichigo's hollow represents ichigo's strength, its like a yin and yang for example, the hollow took over zangetsu because of ichigo's frustation to protect his friends from being hurt.
in my opinion ^^

ou that sounds good! cant wait for ichigo to return!i really want to see him dominate this hallow, its really starting to bug me how they`re going to portray this hallow scenario!

When Ichigo fights his inner hollow his hollow states that he and zangetsu are one being but which ever one has more power is in control and that is who ichigo borrows power from, when zangetsu is in control ichigo's Getsuga Tensho is i light blue while when the inner hollow is in control it is a black red. The more ichigo uses the hollows power the closer he comes to being controled by it.
