[@Renny] [quote=@Renny] I have an idea about it. Similar to Genryusai and Toshiro's I plan on mines being the strongest of its element. Since its lightning, I've been contemplating allowing it to dive into the storm category. I need to research the particulars of lightning a bit more before I can fully flesh it out. [/quote] The strongest lightning zanpakuto would be interesting. Kind of surprised that there weren't more lightning releases in the series, seeing as next to fire it's kind of the most popular element, I think. Hmmm. Well I've read that there were some cases of people being struck by lightning and finding weird temporary tattoos on their bodies called Lichtenberg figures. So maybe something to do with symbols or at least interesting tattoos when the bankai is activated? Another odd thing about lightning is its been known to cure blindness and cancer in a few occasions. [@Red Mage] [quote=@Red Mage] For her bankai its probably gonna be like...world of chains and something that drastically increases her ability to drain other people. And maybe an effect that paralyzes those caught in her chain. But the paralyzation is something I think I want her to gain as an ability later. [/quote] World? So will it be similar to Tousen's bankai like a sphere of swirling, glowing chains? Huh. I feel silly because for some reason I thought that paralysis was something that came inherent with her shikai ^.^; Perhaps one of the abilities is it constantly drains the spiritual power of anyone caught inside of it? [@Yorutenchi] [quote=@Yorutenchi] If I'm doing my math right I think since I'm the last one to post her graduation report that leaves me with 005? Yes? I think for her bankai she will create a field where red sakura petals will be falling. And she can instantly switch places with any sakura petal in this area and create a blizzard of strikes from any angle. And then perhaps she can even make copies of her strikes and send them through the falling petals. So she can be doing actually more than one strike at a time. Though this is just something that comes to the top of my head. [/quote] That seriously does sound pretty bad ass. Maybe her actual bankai could be a cherry blossom tree in bloom? Although I guess that would make it kind of hard to use since bankai would be such a large target and she'd constantly have to move in order to protect it. [@BladeSS4] [quote=@BladeSS4] I gave Bakuto's bankai some thought. So far I have thought of a bit of a mixture between Ichigo's bankai which is shrinking down the overwhelming size of a bankai to increase speed and power. The other is a bit from the Bount filler using the idea of how the bount's leader could use wind attacks, turning Bakuto into his own Bankai. Creating swords of wind from his arms, enveloping Bakuto's strikes punches and kicks with intense wind enhanced speed attacks. Speed faster the normal Shunpo/Flash step ect. [/quote] Another cool idea! For some reason I think that the change would be manifested through his hair like he'll have some kind of swirling green mass over his head. Also a wind aura would be a neat technique for that ability like its swirling around so fast that attacks lacking in power to penetrate it just shoot off to the side, and after further training he'll be able direct where said reflected attacks are shot in? Also, a heads up for everyone. I just learned I'm getting full time so my replies, for a time, might not be as frequent as they are now since I'll be getting used to working more than twenty five hours a week, but I'll do my best to reply as often as I can. @.@
