Whose Shikai/Bankai do you find cool? In my case, Byakuya's Shikai is badass.. ^-^ As for Bankai, I haven't seen it in the anime yet but Ikkaku's Bankai is cool. (Ikkaku is the bald guy Ichigo fought.) How about you?

I really enjoy Soi Fon's Shikai. We haven't even seen her Bankai yet, but her Shikai is deadly enough as it is! It's so small, but so lethal. Plus it leaves all those pretty butterflies. Should she ever decide to give up being a shinigami, she could always become a tattoo artist...

Ahaha! Yeah Soi Fon's shikai is wicked. Oh, have I mentioned that Soi Fon is my favorite character in Bleach? =P Even the manga haven't shown us what her Bankai is.. Maybe it's safe to say that butterflies will be used.. LOL I could make up a Bankai for her.. =P Just like Byakuya's shikai but instead of flower petals, it will be poisoned butterflies.. WICKED.

Oh, I love Soi Fon too. Her backstory with Yoruichi is fantastic, and a little bit heartbreaking-- to know that a captain that tough, that controlled-seeming, can have feelings like that? It's so moving. Not to mention she just plain looks cool.

That will be the 10th Squad Captain, Hitsugaya Toushiro. Yeah his bankai is cool (pun not intended). Ichigo's bankai concentrates on speed so he doesn't have those fancy stuff like that of other bankais. =)

Maybe the author intended Ichigo's Bankai to look like that. I mean it looks hopeless, but in reality, its actually quite impressive.. it could keep up with senzakura (something bankai of Byakuya) and I thought that was really something!

Yeah. It can keep up with Byakuya's Senbonzakura. Pretty impressive eh? Just you wait when Ichigo learns to control his other persona.. Remember the mask that pops out whenver Ichigo is in a pinch? Imagine him in Bankai form with the mask. Badass! =)

hmm... Aizen's shikai, though it couldn't be seen, should be the greatest (complete hypnosis) and I wonder what his bankai look like ?

I can't even imagine what his Bankai is. His Shikai put two captains (Komamura and Hitsugaya), a subcaptain who has Bankai (Renji) and Ichigo's Tensa Zangetsu to shame..

Byakuya's Shikai And Ichigo's Bankai There should be more people with pure meele bankai..

Yeah. Good observation. But in the manga, other's bankais are melee. Rukia's shikai is a melee type. Ice-type and it looks cool (pun intended) .=)

I love Ichigo's Bankai. The coat is so badass. As far as Shikai goes, I probably like Byakuya's the best, too. It's so pretty.

Ahaha yeah. Byakuya's emo nature and pink cherry blossoms are just a nice combination. Ichigo's bankai sure is cool. Wait for him to master his Bankai IN Hollow-form.. It just looks so cool! =)

based on appearance, i think i like the look of Ikakku's Bankai with a 3 edge sword with a dragon etched on the middle blade, which continues to change color and if all the color has been changed it will reach its maximum destructive force. but in terms of power, i guess no one would surpass ichigos tensa zangetsu

I think so too. Have you seen Rukia's shikai? I think it is almost as strong as Ichigo's Tenza Zangetsu. Rukia's Shirayuki is powerful in shikai, what more in bankai right? =)

think that the yamamoto's shikai is very powerfull, the byakuya's bankai is wonderfull, but my favorite is the tousen's bankai, it's too scary... you die in the darkness.

Yeah. That fire type Zanpakutou. I think it is just Yamamoto's Shikai. I can't imagine his Bankai if his shikai is already more than enough to handle two captain's shikais (Shunsui and Ukitake). Tousen's Bankai realy is scary. And it even got scarier when they return from Hueco Mundo. =S

I like Kuchiki Rukia's shikai. It's supposed to be the most beautiful zanpakutou on soul society. For Bankai, Toushirou's i guess, because he's cute!
