Zanpakutou Information
A zanpakutou is the soul cutting sword that shinigamis carry with them. They appear to be simple katanas, but have the ability to harm shinigamis and hollows. Each zanpakutou is as unique as the wielder, contianing its own personallity and apperance. Many zanpakutous are capable of performing ''releases''. The ''first release'' is called Shikai, while ''full release'' is called Bankai. Both Shikai and Banki increase the power of the wielder greatly. But unfortunatly, many zanpakutous are incapable of performing Shikai or Bankai due to lack of power within the wielder, or because the zanpakutou was not made with the ability to perform releases
