HI, BILLY MAYS HERE

It makes sense if you look at it this way; Ichigo can wield Rukia's sealed Sode no Shirayuki, but as long as Ichigo never knew of Sode no Shirayuki's name, he couldn't access Rukia's unique powers, thus making Sode no Shirayuki, in Ichigo's hands, just another normal and nameless zanpakuto...The only reason Ichigo got his hands on Sode no Shirayuki is because Rukia transferred her Soul Reaper powers to Ichigo, so when Byakuya destroyed Ichigo's spiritual powers the first time around, Ichigo had to start from scratch, and thus with some help by Kisuke he would learn of his own inherent power, Zangetsu...
It's not about what the zanpakuto looks like, but rather it's it's name that differentiates one zanpakuto from another...Ichigo didn't know of Sode no Shirayuki but he did know of Zangetsu... |

I think an even more curious observation that I have made is that ichigo's bankai sword also has a very similar guard to byakuya's zanpaktou. In fact, the swords look almost identical. Could this be because byakuya was the first person ichigo used bankai on or is there some type of link between rukia and byakuya's zanpaktous?

Yeah, it would be curious what her bankai looks like. However, I don't think she has that greater chance as Ichigo, Renji, and Ikkaku. Whoever else is keeping his/ her bankai a secret. She does not have that resolve in her heart to supprass anyone.

You think so? From your posts you're actually pretty normal. Just with a dry sense of humor... Quote:
Although Ichigo found Zangestu and unlocked his power. That was only what we call manifestation. His powers manifested themselves into a form. And avatar of them. Ichigo still had not physically called his soul-slayer out yet or used his own powers. Until he called Zangetsu's name he wasn't using them yet. (His own powers) That is why he couldn't hear the name and still had sword and scabbard that was an exaggerated version of Rukia's If Rukia were to get a Bankai . I think her first dance. Tsugi no Mai. (Ice circle) would probably cover a larger area or she would probably be able to put more than one in an area. Given a greater range of attacks. Haikuren would probably be the same. A bigger wave and she probably get something like Ice Circle The move she used on #9 the faux Kaien. Could probably become a spear or launch part of self, like little bullets.

No pun intended, amirite? IMO, Rukia shouldn't get a Bankai. I don't think anyone else should aquire a Bankai anytime soon(unless there's a timeskip) for the simple fact that Bankai isn't supposed to be the level everyone and their mother reaches. Oh Rukia's Bankai would be awesome without a doubt, but IMO, it just don't fit continuity-wise yet.

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE

The power of bankai really gets downplayed if everyone and their pet has bankai...At first, only the strongest of the strong, the Captains, had bankai because they had the proficiency and strength of an expert Soul Reaper to weld bankai...
Ichigo is one exception, because he's the main protagonist of the show, so he needs some sort of uber power-up beyond his own capabilities... But when you start giving the Lt.s bankai, it makes it seem like everyone can achieve bankai and everyone had uver-strength...Of course then you have anecdotal instances where a Captain's bankai is compared to an Lt.s bankai to show the reality in proficiency gaps, such as the Byakuya vs. Renji battle where they both use bankai, and when Sajin easily defeats Po with bankai after Ikkaku gets smacked down for arrogantly not using bankai...But the bandwagon still stands... Rukia obviously included in the "Shouldn't" mix, just to stay on topic... |

Everyone else getting Bankai would cheapen it. However Rukia isn't everyone and their mother, she's the female lead and the 2nd main character of the show. If only one more character achieves it for the rest of the manga/anime it should be her. |

The zanpakuto Ichigo first had when he had Rukia's powers was Sode no Shirayuki, but when Ichigo lost Rukia's powers and regained his own power, he also gained his own zanpakuto Zangetsu...Ichigo learned bankai from Zangetsu, not from Sode no Shirayuki... |
