so Rangiku's Bankai is named Haineko Asama, and since Haineko means "ash cat" and Mount Asama is a volcano in Japan, does that mean her Bankai can create a pyroclastic cloud? Or does "asama" mean something else in this context?
Got in in one!
Haineko: Asama is a Bankai that creates a Vesuvius-like eruption of 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) Hot Gases and Burning Tephra and a REALLY FUCKING LOUD KABOOM. The Pyroclastic cloud can travel up to 430mph and destroys everything in it's path- opponents closer to the epicenter are the luckier ones- the sheer kinetic energy for the explosion incinerates them immediately. Those farther away may find their bodies punctured with molten shrapnel, crushed by flying boulders, or suffocated and cooked alive as they are encased in ash like the victims of Vesuvius.
It's not an easy Bankai- the energy output is catastrophic, and the longer the 'Eruption' goes on, the greater Rangiku's risk of falling into a coma or straight-up dying from expending too much energy increases. It's also not an easy Bankai to train- For a while, Rangiku wasn't 'wielding' her Bankai so much as just 'releasing' it and learning about the damage when she woke up a week later.
In the end, the ONLY person who could help her with training Asama was Yamamoto himself, because of his Literally Divine resistance to fire, and a millennium's worth of practice at dodging to deal with the rocks and ash. He had to take her out to the ass-end of nowhere in South 80 to find somewhere deserted enough to practice without mass causalities, and the practice STILL effected the weather in the rest of Soul Society. He still spent almost a month in the 4th after they returned from The Year With No Summer, getting the burns, lung damage and broken bones treated, while he waited for his pupil to wake up again.
Yamamoto is now Very Fond of Rangiku because she's the first person in a LONG time that proved to be an actual challenge for him as an opponent, was an interesting student to teach and the first person to even begin to comprehend the problems he faces as an Avatar of Destruction.
Like most Volcanoes, Rangiku spends a lot of time sleeping. Nobody who knows what she's capable of when she 'awakens' complains about her nap schedule.

out of character. So I've succumbed to the trend on Tiktok where the girlfriend makes her boyfriend read those romance fantasy novels along with her so anyway needless to say @dokuhai's getting a Fourth Wing Ginran au in the works.
#[ out of character ] masquerade; hide your face#listen the premise works v well with bleach's power dynamics#the dragons are their zanpakuto and shinso and haineko are a mated pair sorry not sorry --#i still gotta fourth wing-ify what gin's signet ability would be#cause he can't just whip out an extendo blade on a dragon (well he could but itd be lame in-universe)#probably gotta go with lightning since it's destructive and fast af boi.#sue me for copying the mc....#yes he is a marked one no i will not be taking cricitism i'm right

My head cannons for bleach characters 35
Haineko aka Rangiku zanpakuto
Right now I’m at the zanpakuto ark so the upcoming head cannons will be that zanpakuto for a little bit  💖
She is 100% a lesbian and her, and Tobiume are in a relationship but they act like they don’t like each other in front of other people,
but when they’re alone they are just so sweet and loving to each other I feel like they would do this, because I think every other zanpakuto
would expect her to act the way she does, in the anime because she is Rangiku
zanpakuto so everyone just expects her to act like this, I feel like she wouldn’t want any other person besides tobiume to know because she confessed her love to her so that’s why I think they fight in public to keep the act up so the other zanpakuto and other soul reapers figuring it out 😿💖
Oh happy pride month baby’s 💖💖

listen. is Haineko cute? yes. is she hot? YES. but here's the thing: i like her but sadly i still think her design is a bit bland. the zanpakuto spirits have such creative designs but Haineko honestly doesn't fit much... i really don't know how to word it but really, her design could have been a bit better...

I come to thee for help
I wanna make a Bleach OC
But I have nearly no inspo for anything that's actually good in terms of a zanpakuto and what it would look like or do-
hmm
most zanpaktou match the personality of the wielder, so maybe write down traits and interests of your oc to get some basic ideas.
as for shapes, simply doing some google cruising for historically used weapons should give you plenty of ideas, just pick something you like.
it's also important to note that while we usually think of super fancy elaborate stuff when it comes to zanpaktou, you gotta remember that not all zanpaktou are that elaborate. Sometimes "to the point" does the trick, with the biggest example being rangiku's "haineko".

Rewatching Bleach's Arrancar Arc just now and I'm screaming, crying, throwing up, etc because of how UPSET I am. I knew it was coming and I would cry EVERYTIME the man came on screen, but I was not prepared to see Ichimaru Gin die again and I was DEFINITELY NOT ready to watch Matsumoto Rangiku's heart shatter like that
I had several(two) realisations in the meantime though:
First: While explaining his bankai's(Kamishini no Yari) release to Aizen while attempting to kill him(very ingeniously, because he's the literal babiest) he says that for the infinitesimally teeny tiny incomprehensible moment his katana extends or contracts? It turns to dust.
Ragiku's haineko turns to ashes. Ashes are part of dust. (Um, yes???? I'm BAWLING)
Second: The reason Rangiku can't become as strong as the potential her shikai shows?? Like, obviously other than her ability to lay waste to creepy men and giving heart attacks to us poor gays??
AIZEN STOLE A PART OF HER SOUL TO CREATE HIS CORRUPT MURDERY HOGYOKU BEFORE MIXING IT WITH KUSUKE'S AWESOME HOGYOKU
SO THEN HE RECITES HIS STUPID HEARTCRUSHING POEM{ONLY MENTALLY, MIND YOU(THE FOOL)} AND DIES IN HER STUPID LOVING ARMS
AND SHE HANGS OUT NEAR HITSUGAYA'S STUPID PRACTICE SNOW CAVE LATER BECAUSE THE SNOW REMINDS HER OF HIM, AND PROCEEDS TO ADMIT THAT SHE ALWAYS LOVED HIM.
Fuck this shit, someone come collect my corpse, I can't do this anymore, I forgot my little emotionally disregulated ass CANNOT think about heart break in the normal range of sadness
Also, to end this roller coaster: SO MAD that we only got this in an intro sequence, of all things. I want to see them in their GOOD TIMES, THEY DESERVE GOOD TIMES HOW DID THEY NEVER HAVE THE GOOD TIMES I'M AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
okay bye

MY favourite bleach head canons in no particular order
1. the idea that all shinigami in gigai give off uncanny valley vibes
Basically like Isshin, whose not quite human but not quite shinigami, meets some of Ichigo’s friends when he was a kid like Tatsuki and she obviously met his mom before and she was nice so she wasn’t expecting much from his dad and then she meets him and her first reaction is ‘what the fuck is that???’
The kurosaki kids, who have grown up with their dad and have pretty high levels of reiatsu, don’t actually realize this while their human friends just instinctually avoid Isshin ‘cause they feel like something’s off about him
of course over time and with extended exposure to Ichigo’s reiatsu, the weirdness kinda fades away but anyone outside of Ichigo’s circle generally avoids all the shinigami that come to Karakura in gigai for those reasons
2. all animals hate shinigami except cats and crows
literally for no reason besides the fact that I like them
I love the idea of shinji with his creepy ass smile just perched on top of a telephone pole and if he stays still long enough, crows will start sitting on him XD
I also have cats that I love and I love the idea of Ichigo just chilling on his bed with an orange cat and doing the purring thing with it while he’s sleeping
And then when he goes to a pet store with Rukia because she wants to see bunnies, all the animals go ballistic anf they get kicked out XD
3. the visored + ichigo with animalistic traits
laying down on hot things because it feels nice on their skin and soothes something in their lizard brains
eyes that flash hollow yellow when they feel intense emotion (inspired the scene in the anime where Aizen says that hollowification is faster when agitated so emotions heavily affect their appearance
I like the idea that they get very tactile with people they care about (not in a romantic way) and they get into little wrestling matches over stupid stuff because that’s they’re idea of playing and bonding
Shinji gives cat vibes, you can’t even tell me he doesn’t just look at him. When cats make eye contact as they push something off the table- that’s him
I also really like the idea of the hollowification affecting their zanpakuto. Given that Ichigo was pretty much born with his hollow, he doesn’t notice the different the way the Visored do
Shinji’s whole standing upside down and reversing the gravity on himself, I like the idea that it came after his hollowification and if he wishes he can do it to others
Idk if there’s any jjk manga readers her but you know that attack kenjaku has where he makes you feel like you’re falling but you’re not really? He does it to Yuji a few times when he’s fighting mahito and I love the idea of Shinji having that ability, just completely fucking up their sense of reality and direction
I haven’t thought of the other visored abilities but from my other AU that I will never write, I mentioned that Kaien was hollowified as well so I love the idea of him just being completely obsessed with everything water related and having an affinity for any water type kido and being able to control minor amounts of water without actually drawing Nejibana and being able to breath under water
4. all zanpakuto spirits do commentary in their weilders head
but only ppl like Ichigo and Toushiro who have incredibly powerful spirits that they can literally talk to in the middle of a fight can actually hear
Like Zabimaru, haineko, and all the other zanpakuto are just constantly making fun or nitpicking the way their weilder uses them
But Ichigo is the only one who has to suffer through Zangetsu (Shiro) cackling in his head while Toushiro gets useful feedback and Ichigo’s just completely done with him
a sadder headcanon: all zanpakuto spirits talk to their weilders regularly however, the Visored because of their own fear of their hollowification have estranged themselves from their zanpakuto spirits and like Shiro is hostile with Ichigo in canon, the others are like ten times worse
5. If Ichigo every actually seals his zanpakuto, he’d be incredibly sensitive to reiatsu (I forgot to add this one the first time and I didn’t wanna make another post XD)
I personally love this little explanation of Ichigo’s powers and you know how Ichigo is just really shitty at sensing reiatsu at the beginning? Shinji commented on it a couple times and seemed pretty confused by it.
I think that part of the reason why he’s so bad at it-- especially after the SS arc ‘cause remember he was actually pretty good at sensing back then-- is because after he achieved Bankai, Hollow Zangetsu was in control rather than OMZ and with that switch in power came a significant uptick in his own reiatsu to the point where Ichigo actually feels like he’s being crushed by his own power and he can feel how close Shiro is for the first time and he’s actually scared of his own power
Hiyori even comments about how he’s scared of his own bankai because the distance between him and Shiro decreases everytime he gets stronger since Shiro gets stronger with him
Anyways, we’re not devolving into an analysis about Ichigo and Shiro but eventually Ichigo learns how to sense things properly even with his own reiatsu
So when he finally seals Zangetsu and he’s no longer covered by his own power because it’s finally sealed, he’s gonna be sensing things so much stronger and get sensory overload only it’s ✨reiatsu sensitivity✨
6. Souls in the Society age until they find an appearance both they and their reiatsu level is comfortable with (Another one because I’m an idiot and I forgot)
Excluding Toushiro’s weird case of appearanc shifting but I guess that could be attributed to his bankai’s weirdness that I don’t know much about
I don’t think we’ve gotten on actual explanation on how souls age so I’ve decided to apply this hc
Basically the reason why ppl like Unohana, who looks incredibly similar to herself from a thousand years ago, the only difference being how much less sinister she looks and how calm she looks
Plus, all the characters from the Turn back the pendulm arc barely changing over a hundred years is wild
I initially thought of it as comparing every decade a soul lives to ever year a human lives but that didn’t feel right so I chose this
#visored#ichigo kurosaki#hollow ichigo#hollow zangetsu#shiro#zanpakuto spirits#bleach#headcanons#shinji hirako#half this post devolved into stuff about him#shinigami#animals#uncanny valley#uncanny shinigami gigai

The Zanpakutō Arc is my favourite arc of the anime.
Really weird pick, I know. But when I saw it for the first time when I was much younger I loved all the cool spirits, I’ve always been super in love with the concept of Zanpakutō and getting a look into what the spirits are for everyone was so cool.
When I rewatched the Arc, I realized that I still very much love the arc, but for different reasons. Namely, the Antagonist, Muramasa. I love his motives, how he goes about stuff and his character. He might be my favourite character in all of Bleach and this is a filler arc.
But as much as I realized my love for the antagonist, I noticed that the stories of the Zanpakutō Spirits, as well as the designs and what they’re like seemed... Very lacklustre. I get that it’s filler and character development or anything isn’t allowed but.. oof.
This turned out rather long so the rest is under the cut, including Kazeshini mini-makeover!
So one day, I wanna rewrite that Arc and give it as much love as it deserves. Kind of a passion project that would take a shit ton of work, but the end product would be something I could not only enjoy and share, but look back on fondly for a very long time.
When/if I do that there’s a few things I wanna do for it.
We’re gonna play by AEIWAM (by @gallusrostromegallus, go look at the tag) rules.
Bleach without mods is very hard to play after having experienced Aeiwam and I can’t go back anymore.
This would very much be just me joining the bandwagon of creators playing in Gallus’ sandbox of wonder, but Aeiwam is what got me back into Bleach and the world building is too gooddddd. So, Zanpakutō Arc would once again be more of a filler (though Gallus if you find anything in it that you like please feel free to pick and choose if I ever manage to write this)
The Spirits need some serious make overs.
While some designs are cool, others are kind of uninspired and really do feel like filler. Some of the personalities are stereotypes pretending to be characters. The whole Haineko, Tobiume, Hyōrinmaru love triangle was kinda weird imho. Stuff like, just put a bit more autistic special interest spice in it, make it more funky. Spend actual quality time on the Zanpakutō spirits, their appearance, their characters and their relationships. Have more funky things like Itegumo the Avalanche (Courtesy of @gallusrostromegalus). Spirits like Hōzukimaru and Ruriirokujaku would are prime candidates f.E.
3. Muramasa deserves better.
For real. Did not deserve to turn into glitter after breaking himself over and over for his Shinigami. Absolute Love and Loyalty met with nothing but hatred. The guy stabbed him and broke the sword and Muramasa was still nothing but loyal.
Fun Fact: Maegawa's first appearance was in a story we later called Zanpakutō Stories: Stockholm Syndrome. Very good time.
Her powers were made specifically to be able to save him from death by getting the hollows out of him without hurting him.
Her name is a bit of a wordplay. Asahi, the morning sun of a new day. And especially Maegawa. Muramasa expresses multiple times to his Shinigami to leave behind the past and look forward. To move forward. Together.
Maegawa, roughly translated: forward river. Pretty on the nose, but I couldn't resist
Actual cool stories between Zanpakutō and Shinigami.
The conclusion of almost all sub stories between Shinigami and Sword Spirits was kind of a let down. The arc started strong in that regard, but then everyone broke swords left and right and they fixed it at the end with Mayuri Special Clown Magic. The premise of losing your powers forever if you kill your Zanpakutō Spirit was very cool but eventually ignored and even subverted by the Shinigami starting to purposefully destroying the swords halfway through.
It would be a lot cooler if instead of just defeating them in battle everyone has to properly engage their Zanpakutō spirit and work out whatever gripes Muramasa has drawn out and strengthened.
In that same vein, here’s an example I was pondering for this arc. A prime suspect of both ?? Design and very very unsatisfying story conclusion:
Kazeshini
The design was always really out of left field for me. A rude, battle-hungry being of slaughter with random cloth for decency and a vaguely scythe like haircut.
...And that’s... Shūhei’s Zanpakutō spirit? Shūhei from the 9th? Who doesn’t particularly enjoy bloodshed, is always ready to help others out and though trying to be edgy is actually very much a goof? That Shūhei?
That never really clicked with me.
I mean maybe it’s implied violent tendencies or some random blood thirst deep down but I never felt like we really had any proof for that with Shūhei himself. Though it might’ve very well have gone r/whoosh. I struggle retaining all the information sometimes.
But then I had a fun little thought.
At his very core, I feel like Hisagi is someone whose just intrinsically helpful. He wants to help, to do whatever he can and to prove himself to others.
He puts on a tough front and some people fall for it, but he’s actually extremely kind-hearted and a very hard worker.
Why would his Zanpakutō spirit not share that trait? The trait that’s at his very core.
Slaughter Demon Kazeshini is a front. A tough looking exterior from a Zanpakutō spirit that really just wants to help its Shinigami with all its heart.
The moment I saw Shūhei’s Shikai for the first time I actually had to think of Naruto for a moment. And when I pondered what those scythes might actually look like my thoughts returned to that thought: Kamaitachi.
("Kamaitachi" (鎌鼬) from the Kyōka Hyaku Monogatari by Masasumi Ryūkansaijin)
Kamaitachi are yōkai that resemble weasels with scythe-like front claws riding on dust storms. Now the version I’ve sketched is a ferret because I can’t keep my wiggly guys apart apparently, but also has the scythes more ferret-forearm-area. But Kamaitachi were the inspiration.
So this little guy is giddy as all hells when the Shikai first happens. Finally he can help his shinigami!! He’ll do his best and they’ll be so cool together and-
Shūhei looks at his blades in a mix of shock and repulsion. “They look like they reap life itself”
He hates his shikai.
Kazeshini is distraught. Why..? Why the hatred for their blades? Fear? He doesn’t know what to do. He doesn’t know _how to help_. But he wants to help! He needs to help!
And then he gets an idea.
He needs Shūhei to hate _him_. Not the blades. He needs Shūhei to be stubborn, to use these blades and become stronger.
So Kazeshini comes up with a plan. Shūhei doesn’t know his true form yet. He hasn’t seen the little ferret trying so hard to be a sword spirit he can rely on. And then Kazeshini does what he learned from Shūhei.
He puts on a front.
And that front is the rude Slaughter Demon Kazeshini, who never fails to infuriate Shūhei, to infuriate him to want to become stronger. To get Shūhei to show him that his blades can be used for more than death.
Their Zanpakutō Arc story would be this little communication disaster falling in on itself and Shūhei finally seeing Kazeshini for what he really is and coming to terms with the blades (and himself in a way)
(The initial idea was that Kazeshini sees Hisagi's hatred for a part of himself (Hisagi hating Hisagi I mean) made manifest in the blades and decides to redirect Hisagi's hatred against his own soul toward itself to protect him, but since Zanpakutō spirits in Aeiwam work a little different I thought I'll need that overhaul that a little hehe)
But yeah, there we have it. This has been steeping in my brain soup for a very long time. But I really need to finish Maegawa Backstory before I start anything else haha
