Well Bleach is for me atm the best anime i have saw in my life, and i wanna know your opinions about wha shinigami have the best bankai and why u choosed it

Well i have 3 in mind, in this order

1) Kurosaki Ichigo - OMFG his black sword is so freakin awesome, and his clothes.. dam it ZANGETSU !!, nice speed, too many shumpas ( or shompa w/e i dont remember xD)

2) Kuchiki Byakuya - SenbonZakura Kageyoshi.. One thousand of sword holy crap, the flowers that appear in his bankai are also cool

3) Hitsugaya Toushiro - If u didn't saw the fight between Hitsugaya and Ichimaru, YOU MUST SEE IT !! ice power dam, and also Hitsugaya vs "The Fat and Big" Bount xD

It's Shunpo.

My favorite would have to be Bakuya's, that flurry of petals is just too damned cool.

Ichigo's is kinda cool too in its own way, but it's very simple.

I also love Renji's particularly in videogames where it's pretty beast.

Worst bankai? That creepy dude with the giant baby. Weird.

I like the big baby looking bankai after he murders that big fat wooden whale that was pretty badass...

Then the entire thread would be black. Wouldn't a spoiler note for the first episode number in the title be more productive?

I'm sure everybody agrees on the creepiest. None of the other ones have wowed me enough to claim them as best though.

I thought that Renji's was pretty cool with how the skeleton broke into pieces and changed attack accordingly. But then again who needs bankai when your oozing out energy like Kenpachi. Razz

I kinda liked Tosen's (the blind/black guy), he trapped you in a little dimension where ALL of your senses were useless.

and then of course Ichigo's Nazi hilt sword

and then Soifon's poison little poky finger of DOOM!!! (although i dont like IT, i like it on her)

To be fair to Ichigo's sword, the Nazis weren't the first to use the swastika. I know that it has at least one other meaning in Buddhism where it is a symbol of peace. Though why it would be on the hilt of a sword even than is beyond me.

But its origin is still in Buddhism and that probably the more familiar meaning in Asian cultures.

Not sure about Buddhism, but definitely Hinduism, as it's an integral symbol for the religion and means love and harmony.

Locking this for the poor grammar in the opener and the one-liner/list-like replies. While I really like Bleach and the concept of Bankai, I think the topic can be discussed and executed much better than this if you're any kind of fan of the franchise.
