It’s time for Day 22 of the 30 Day Anime Challenge! That means I’m looking at my Favourite Weapon, Gear, or Armour.
Now, I expected this one to be quite hard, but the more I thought about it, the more that one weapon kept jumping into my head: Zabimaru, Renji Abarai’s zanpakuto in Bleach.
I’m not sure why this keeps popping up for me, but I think it’s a combination of things. The serrated blade style looks cool, and I love that it stretches. Meanwhile, he releases it into bankai, the snake-like version is unwieldy in size but, again, looks really cool! Maybe that’s it. It just had the cool factor me.
But what you all? What is your favourite?
Zabimaru’s pretty cool, but it’s got to be Senbonzakura for me if we’re talking about Bleach! I’m not even a Byakuya fangirl, but that bankai…

It is a stunning one, isn’t it? I’m looking forward to seeing if we get a glimspe of it in the live action film.

The bankai form of this never looks all that scary when compared to so many others. He does do some cool things with it at times, but as a weapon it is far more terrifying before it goes bankai.

I’m not sure which version I’d pick as scariest. I’d say that the bankai is probably harder to use though. I was never certain if the bankai had any freedom of will in terms of movement though. If it had the ability to act on its own, i’d maybe mark it as a little scarier.
