Bleach Zanpaku-to Guide - Senbonzakura

Zanpaku-to: A-E | F-J | K-O | P-T | U-Z
Misc: Nameless/Unknown

Name: Senbonzakura

Owner: Byakuya Kuchiki

Information: A Katana with a light purple handle and a square cut through guard. Kept sheathed through his waist tie to his side.

Initial release

Release Call: Scatter

Main Attribute: Speed

Information: Upon the call, the blade will burst and literally scatter into pieces which look like Cherry Blossom petals. But these petals are actual small blades which move so quickly they vanish. It is told by Byakuya that there are around 1,000 Cherry Blossom petals which appear. These petals then shred into the opponent/s at quick speed raking up more damage as more attack.

Final release

Name: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi

Main Attribute: Speed

Information: Byakuya holds his Zanpaku-to vertically with the blade pointing to the floor. He then drops it and it sinks into the ground and dissapears. Behind Byakuya, 1,000 large blades arise out of the ground and each one burst into thousands of Cherry Blossom petals. It is unknown to how many are created but Byakuya roughly says that it reaches over 1,000,000. As with the Initial release, these petals are actual blades and move at lightning speeds much faster than it's Initial release form. And finally, these petals rip into the opponent/s and completely shred up the surrounding area.

Final release: Abilities

By using his hands, Byakuya can clump the petals together and control the attack pattern doubling their attack speed even more. By using this technique, Byakuya can actually fight using his Final release instead of the petals acting independantly. And they can also act as a means of defense, by building a wall around Byakuya to deflect and block incoming attacks.

Final release: Abilities

Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. The true form of Byakuya's Final release. The petals gather together to form thousands of pink swords which cover the fighting area surrounding Byakuya and the opponent/s. Byakuya can then use any one of these swords as his fighting weapon and also control the swords with his fingers. With this Byakuya can fight using his sword head to head but also control another sword from any direction to fly in and attack the opponent/s blind spot.

Final release: Abilities

Hakuteiken. The final attack of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi. Forgetting any means of defense or speed, Hakuteiken solely relies on offense. By absorbing the Senkei swords, Byakuya will engulf in bright energy and form two large wings connecting to Byakuya's Zanpaku-to. This is the last resort Byakuya only uses once because afterwards Senbonzakura reverts back to normal. Now being surrounded by strong energy, Byakuya places it all on a ultimate attack destroying the area hoping to cut down the opponent.
