Shikai-can turn spiritual pressure into tangible energy and cut through anything (anything!)
Bankai-Super speed along with the same insane power Zangetsu has.

Woah! You really made a review of the bankai's.

Anyway, I would choose either Aizen's Kyouka Suigetsu or Hitsugaya Toushiro's Hyourinmaru. Btw, hitsugaya should really use his power like storm does in x-men. He would deal more damage to his opponents in long range by changing the weather (like striking his opponent with lightning) and only use his sword weilding skills when the opponent manages to get near him. Maybe their is a restriction to his ban-kai that is why he never use it in this manner.

I'd go with Byakuya's.

Byakuya's ban-kai is quite deadline especially if he has several opponents, but against fast opponents like ichigo... he is at a disadvantage (not actually a disadvantage, but it negates his advantage).

I'd go with Suzumushi, but Hyourinmaru is still the coolest Zanpaku-tou

Kira's sword is tight too if u tought it you sword gets 2x heavier but like jluyanime said against a fast person it would do no good unless you were fast as well but i think i would ahve Hitsugayas zanpaku-to as well to many possibilities

Thanks for the support musicninja. Hitsugaya Toushiro's Hyourinmaru indeed holds almost countless possibilities, but I think their are limitations to his power (or he just doesn't have enough creative to actually yield his ban-kai to the fullest).

Kira's sword is not bad.. that is if he manages to touch his opponents sword.

Aizen's is probably the most dangerous, since anybody can turn into his "minion," but I like Unohana's because the stingray is kind of cute! XXD It's really useful for her position, too.

Zangetsu would be my choice..its too sick to handle

Urahara's Benihime. No contest. (It's not on the list... grrr)

hyourinmaru's so cool! and senbonzakura's not bad either

I would say Shinsou,Senbonzakura or Zangetsu...

DUDEEEEEEEEEE HAVE you seen Rukia's new attack!!!!! AHHHHHHH that was tight as hell.....

I would also go with Urahara's Benihime. Plus, we don't know what his Ban-Kai is, or what it's capable of. If his Shi-kai is that strong, I can only think of the possibilities.

i like his
Hyourinmaru (Ice Ring)
Wielder: Hitsugaya Toushiro

I like Kurosaki Isshen's maybe, cause man he came out and killed one of those new hollow dudes without a mask without releasing his sword's first stage. I think his sword is powerful too.

Hyourinmaru (Ice Ring)
this one is cool!!

aizen's would be cool because you could hipnotize people.

.............wat was rukia's one??

Yamamoto's Ryuujin Jakka: "return everything in the world to ashes" or of course Tensa Zengetsu . . .

Rukia only released her zanpakutou in the manga, non-manga readers will still have to wait for quite some time to see its beauty XD

It'd have to be Renji's Zabimaru for me. I mean you could shoot it out like Gin's and wrap it around you for a defensive maneuver. The best thing he did with it was that thing against Aizen...even though it didn't work.

There are sooo many zanpakutous not metioned...

I would choose either Katen Kyoukotsu (8th captain's zanpakutou) or Benihime (Urahara's)

In the manga i would choose Rukia's but in the anime Ichigo's

I'd have Ichigo's Zangetsu.

Renji's zanpakutou looks great... but its too destructive for my liking. I'd have Rukia's zanpakutou cause it looks pretty dam cool... too bad, I have a feeling I'd change to Urahara as soon as more about him is revealed ^^;;

I would want Kyouraku Shunsui's sword/s so I could unleash Ban Kai and strike cool poses =].


Also,

Hello everyone! My first post.

Somehow i will go for Urahara's...

TO correct you Ikakku has a bankai....(Dragon Crest) that had a giant blade in the middle and a blade sticking out from each side........ and cuts up alot...and u dont know urahara's shikai?????he used it in the manga when they were fighting the hollow/shinigamis...... and i definetly want urahara's...

Ichigo's bankai is the koolest. Though if I could have Ichigo's I'd definetely have Ikkaku's. I recently saw his shikai and it looked so kool.

Ichigo's Zangetsu or Urahara's Benihime

Rukia is not on the list you know. i would pick hers it freak'n awsome!

Ichigos-Zangetsu,Tensazangetsu and Hitsugayas- Hyourinmaru for me they just kick a** speed and ice all the way

Id either have to say Hitsugaya or Byakuyo

Howl Zabimaru!

(Renji)

i like uaharas behime its awsome and has a similar attack to ichigo's and a sheild (rocks so hard) but my personal fav is kiras its sooooo cool nd wud disable anything (just about) in a team fight, but if i had a zampacto i wudn't want it 2 b sum1else's id want it 2 be a messed up frgmented bit of me . to like ichigo id soo steall all the cool bits i ever saw (notice how moon fang only took shape and changed attack form after we saw uaharas used 2 just amp up ichigos slashes (like against the spear dude) <sigh im criminaly bad with names

if it where up 2 me id pinch tousens tunning ring thingy uhaharas taselly thing and something similar to kenpachies blade (not quite as N0bed up tho just intresting bites in the blade

Ashisogi Jizou

of course

Kaien Shiba

Kenpachi's, once that releases Shikai it will be the equal to any regular Bankai, and once it achieves Banki...well...

Senbonzakura
byakuya

Barragan's .....Arrogante!
