The second stage of release for Renji's Zanpaku-to is that the blade becomes very extended and whip-like.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620095083359609940.post-36551230631744661252008-07-31T15:03:00.000-05:002008-07-31T15:03:00.000-05:00It's their sword. Or actually their weapon, which...It's their sword. Or actually their weapon, which always takes the basic form of some kind of sword. Each Zanpaku-to has a unique name which must be discovered by the Soul Reaper during training. It takes a long time, except for Ichigo, who took only three days.<BR/><BR/>Each Zanpaku-to has three forms of release, if I recall correctly. The first is just as a sword. The second is as a sword plus some special powers that vary and I think are unique to each Zanpaku-to. The final release is a super-powerful form of attack, and is also unique to each one.<BR/><BR/>Byakuya's final release turns his sword into 1,000 (or is it 1,000,000) individual swords which he controls with his mind. Renji's final release becomes a dragon (again, if I recall correctly).<BR/><BR/>Ichigo's final release is different. Instead of changing his sword into some other form, he becomes incredibly super-duper fast--faster than any other Soul Reaper. It was his speed at final release that allowed him to defeat Byakuya.<BR/><BR/>In the Soul Society, during training, Ichigo's Zanpaku-to took the form of a tall man with long dark hair and a long, flowing black cloak. Ichigo almost died before he was able to discover his Zanpaku-to's name. The Soul Reaper must learn his Zanpaku-to's name to be able to achieve final release.<BR/><BR/>Since Ichigo is not a real Soul Reaper, he can only achieve final release if he is in the Soul Society. He can't do it in the Human World.<BR/><BR/>I think I got all that right.AlanDPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910363728370240226noreply@blogger.com
