"Bleach" - Zanpakuto Shikai's Trivia Quiz

Answer: Zangetsu

Wielded by Ichigo Kurosaki, this is one of the few zanpakuto that remains fully unsealed in its shikai form. This is because Ichigo hasn't learned how to seal his sword yet.

Answer: Zabimaru

Wielded by 6th squad vice-captain, Renji Abarai, it is activated by the command "Howl Zabimaru". It was actually the first shikai to be shown in the "Bleach" series. Renji also has the ability to disconnect the segments of Zabimaru at will through the use of his spiritual energy, which allows him to perform the powerful, yet self damaging Higa Zekko attack.

Answer: Hyorinmaru

It is wielded by tenth squad captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya, who is considered to be the child prodigy of the Gotei 13. Toshiro was the youngest Shinigami ever to be named a captain and the least experienced of all captains. It is suggested that even his vice-captain has been a shinigami longer than he has.

Answer: Suzumebachi

It is wielded by second squad captain, Soifon and released with the command "Sting all enemies to death". The black butterfly marks produced by Suzumebachi will last forever and can only be removed by Soifon herself. She is only shown executing the second strike once in one of the filler episodes of "Bleach" when she used it to kill the Bount named Mabashi.

Answer: Hisagomaru

Wielded by fourth squad seventh seat, Hanataro Yamada, it is activated by the command "Fill up". While not gifted in the battle abilities, Hanataro is an expert at healing abilities. He was one of the first shinigami to switch sides and join Ichigo and company in their efforts to rescue Rukia.

Answer: Suzumushi

This is wielded by the ex-ninth squad captain, Kaname Tosen. Kaname Tosen, although being completely blind, was still chosen to be one of the captains of the Gotei 13, which shows how truly powerful this man is. He tends to follow the path he believes will lead to justice even if that means betraying a friend.

Answer: Sode No Shirayuki

This is wielded by thirteenth squad member, Rukia Kuchiki. Even though she is an unseated member of the thirteenth squad, her power level is considered to be equal to that of at least a vice-captain. Sode No Shirayuki has two other effects, one is a directed ice attack which can be aimed at the enemy, and the other is an ability to reform the zanpakuto even if it has to pierce through an object.

Answer: Tenken

Wielded by seventh squad captain Sajin Komamura and activated by the command "Roar". Sajin tends to the the shyest and most reserved of the captains partly because he is ashamed of his appearance. Sajin even though having a humanly figure, is actually shown to be some sort of giant fox when unmasked.

Answer: Kyoka Suigetsu

This is wielded by the all powerful ex-captain of the fifth squad, Aizen Sosuke. Aizen appeared to be the nerdy, frail-looking captain but that was all part of the plan. It appears that Aizen has fully mastered every aspect of the Shinigami and in an effort to do what no other shinigami has done, he hypnotized the ENTIRE Gotei 13 for who knows how many decades.

He found a way by trying to achieve and incorporate the powers of the hollow, so he rebelled against Soul Society and joined the hollow community in Hueco Mundo becoming their leader thus becoming the main antagonist of the "Bleach" series.

Answer: Nijigasumi

This is wielded by ex eleventh squad member, Maki Ichinose. Maki left Soul Society when Kenpachi Zaraki took over as that squad's captain. He saw Kenpachi as a monster with no values and refused to serve under a man who so brutally killed the captain he used to serve.

In the Bount Arc, Maki got his chance to exact revenge on Kenpachi and used his most powerful attack "Saigyoku Nijigasumi" which envelops the enemy in a ball of light that shrinks and crushes everything inside of it. Although he made a valiant effort, Kenpachi proved to powerful, thus removing his eye patch and releasing his ridiculous power to destroy the ball of light and later defeating Maki.
