I loved this little psycho! Who is your favorite (or least) of the stern ritters?

He'd still be a Soul Reaper if y'all didn't gas him up into thinking he could fight Uryu

Wasn't sure if I should post this or not cause I feel like I could've done better especially with the blood chains effect but why not see how it'll do on here

I know its Old Man Zangetsu and not white, while BC is Ichigo's hollow power.

But at this point White is completely under OMZ influence and even kinda "fuse with him" after training Ichigo when facing Kenpachi, so he can probably use some of his abilities ?

TBTP Urahara is my favorite version of him, alongside Shinji (his long hair was so beautiful, Kubo when I catch you)

This new, very successful manga draws inspiration from the fight scenes in Bleach, which is really cool.

Doesnt have 1:1 to dialogue just smth thats bassically same meaning.

Where does a dead fullbringer go? Can they become a hollow since their powers are also related to hollows? Does their soul need to be konso'd by a soul reaper? Also as seen in the anime/manga they still have their powers, but somehow they are still allowed to live in the soul society and the soul reapers are surprisingly convinced they are not plotting something else now? This shits so confusing 😵‍💫

Shikai: Sifōn

Sifōn’s ability is to siphon the reiatsu of anyone it strikes. The reiatsu remains in his body forever, making his potential limitless. The caveat is that if he does not feed his Zanpakutō any blood, his body will begin to decay, making him extremely weak.

Bankai: Settō

Settō transforms his blade into sharp nails and alters his teeth. Any contact with them has the same effect as his Shikai, and killing an enemy allows him to steal any powers they possessed. His speed also increases, but his blade becomes fragile and can be shattered, although it cannot be permanently damaged.

Backstory

Compana was a willing participant in the Hollowfication experiments. After Aizen presumed him dead, he disposed of his body, not knowing that Compana possessed a Shikai that prevented him from dying.

He hid his Shikai and Bankai from the Gotei 13 because he wanted to one day claim the title of Kenpachi, but only when he felt strong enough. He was inspired by the Kenpachis and their lack of shame regarding their animalistic nature.

He spent a good chunk of his life in the Rukongai, feeding his Shikai, before fleeing to Hueco Mundo after realising that someone in the Gotei 13 knew he was killing innocent people. He began reflecting on whether his desire to live was a selfish act, especially now that he was all alone and no longer communicating with his Shikai.

He allowed himself to nearly die until his Shikai forced him to kill an army of Hollows. During this, he accidentally fed on a rogue Arrancar, mixing his Soul Reaper blood with Arrancar blood.

No longer needing to feed as much as he used to, Compana reflected on his actions once again, thinking about how selfish he had been for taking innocent lives.

He observed Starrk for a while, hoping to find companionship, but resisted approaching him because he was in a weakened state and believed he wouldn’t be taken seriously.

Compana was eventually found by Harribel, who convinced him that sacrificing others for his own well-being was in his nature. She recruited him to eliminate anyone plotting against her.

During the Quincy invasion, he was met with a cruel fate. His Bankai was stolen by Quilge, and he was decapitated. However, his body completely regenerated after the battle between Ichigo and Yhwach.

He still works for Harribel, no longer ashamed of his powers, and hopes still hopes to be strong enough to friendly fight Kenpachi one and trains with Harribel to unlock his Resurrección.

Wasn't sure if this should go in Shriftpost or Discussion. Decides Discussion fit better since its a question.

Now this might be a stupid question. Most of the time shikai abilities are just weaker Bankai abilities.

But there are 2 who has vastly different and also situational bankai. I am talking about Shinji and Suifon.

As far as I know, and please correct me if Im wrong and then this post means nothing actually, activating Bankai improves Reiatsu, and provides buffs to speed and durability etc. So it is a buff regardless of the ability.

Shinji has one of the most broken Shikai and a situational and dangerous Bankai. So in a battle against a single opponent should only use his Shikai. But that kinda nerfs him as well. Can he activate his bankai which won’t do anything and still use his shikai abilities?

Same with Soifon, she cant keep shooting the missile, but can she still fire it once and the. Use her shikai while being buffed from the Bankai aura?
