Zanpakuto samples...
Examples from the Random Zanpakuto Generator.
Good, in some way
When Unholy Spirit, Savage Vortex is activated with the command "Come forth, Unholy Spirit, Savage Vortex!" it transforms into a massive, perfect sansetsukon with a long chain. It drains an opponent's spiritual energy.
Chrysanthemum of Mystery produces a shockwave up to 10 meters in diameter and resembles an oversized, black throwing axe after it is unsealed. Shikai is invoked with the command "Smite, Chrysanthemum of Mystery!"
Seven-form Meditation enhances the wielder's ability to perceive the opponent's intentions and resembles a gigantic, adorable eku as tall as the wielder after it is unsealed. Shikai is invoked with the command "Increase, Seven-form Meditation!"
Poem of Oblivion is carried unsealed, and is a small harpoon which moves faster than the eye can see. It produces a shockwave up to 10 meters in diameter.
This zanpakuto, named Eternal Thunder Whisper, transforms into a flat, ordinary set of brass knuckles which gives an impression that it is always moving at the command "Ring out, Eternal Thunder Whisper!" It produces pulses of ultrasound that liquify small areas of biological cells.
When Saint Punishment is unsealed with the command "Shield!" it transforms into a flat sansetsukon with an elegantly carved handle, and deadens the wielder's pain temporarily.
Shield is carried sealed into the form of a parasol. At the command "Flow, Shield!" it transforms into a short, gigantic sansetsukon with a long chain. It forms an impenetrable shield in front of the wielder when rotated.
Unseal this zanpakuto with the command "Splinter, Mirror Mauler!" It resembles a short, small harpoon and synchronizes repetitive sounds to frequencies which can shatter an opponent's weapon.
Unseen Koi is always activated, and resembles a flat shuriken which moves faster than the eye can see. It enhances the wielder's ability to perceive the opponent's intentions.
Pain Punishment is always activated, and resembles a bent macuahuitl with the hilt decorated with ribbons. It boosts another person's stamina, allowing them to take more damage.
When Desolate Insects is unsealed with the command "Wind!" it transforms into a slender throwing axe which moves faster than the eye can see, and summons a cloud of wasp-like insects whose stings have a euphoric effect.
Annoying Zanpakuto:
Midnight of Hell is always activated, and resembles a blade limned with colored light. It gives the wielder five seconds of limitless spiritual energy before collapsing unconscious.

telophase sez: There's a problem with these always-activated ones. I mean, the hapless Soul Reaper who got stuck with this expereinces their entire life in five-second bursts of limitless spitirual energy. There's some sort of lesson here: children, learn to seal your zanpakuto!]
Earthquake is always activated, and resembles an ordinary jian with a loop of strong cord on the pommel. It allows the wielder to sink into solid surfaces.
[telophase sez: And again - you end up on the floor below you if you stop paying attention for a minute or two.]
Empty Earthquake is carried unsealed, and is a blade of colored light. It creates large holes in the ground.
[telophase sez: You can all see where this would be a mite annoying...]
Frozen Head like Smoke is always activated, and resembles a seemingly-normal staff. It makes any body part touched by this weapon explode.
[telophase sez: I trust the drawbacks of this one are apparent?]
Uh...

When Sacred Wisteria Meditation is unsealed with the command "Manifest!" it transforms into a graceful nodachi with a blade a little wider than normal, and narrows the focus of the wielder, minimizing the impact of distractions - pretty cool!
Willow is always activated, and resembles a mighty naginata taller than the wielder. It allows the wielder to strike with inhuman precision - another goodie
Heaven's Cyclone is carried sealed into the form of a paintbrush. At the command "Rise, Heaven's Cyclone!" it transforms into a cute war fan. It unleashes a narrow bolt of air which can cut the opponent - I think this one is yours, telophase-san!
The zanpakuto Threefold Earthquake like Midnight uses the command "Fulfill" to transform into a gigantic sarissa. It has two techniques: first, it turns the ground beneath an opponent's feet to lava, and second, it turns the ground beneath an opponent's feet to mud - I guess the mud would feel pretty good after the lava!
This zanpakuto, named Feather of the West Wind, transforms into an old-fashioned meteor hammer with a razor-sharp spiked weight at the command "Demolish, Feather of the West Wind!" It produces a harmonic capable of shattering stone - I like that one ... all kinds of irony in the name.
I can see that this is going to be hours of fun!
no subject
Lotus Haze is carried unsealed, and is a graceful, substantial quarterstaff taller than the wielder. It produces a mist that obscures the wielder. - Sometimes they work together just right. XD
When Jade Cherry Blossoms Cage is activated with the command "Crush, Jade Cherry Blossoms Cage!" it transforms into an old-fashioned, short war fan. It causes the battle to be graced by falling flower petals. - *snerk*
The zanpakuto Burning Earthquake uses the command "Shout" to transform into a small, graceful cleaver with the hilt wrapped in pale leather. It has two techniques: first, it enlarges cracks in any solid material to their maximum, and second, it turns the ground beneath an opponent's feet to lava. - I like this one, too.
When Summer Defender is unsealed with the command "Split!" it transforms into a curved, big hurlbat which moves faster than the eye can see, and temporarily produces a host of stinging insects. - I think this one comes straight from Texas!
I'm going to have to get a Kenpachi icon. He's my favorite character, and right now the only Bleach icon I have is this Renji one.
no subject
I just did these two! I collected the artwork a couple of days ago and have been dabbing away at the icons during breaks (Yachiru is hand-colored from a greyscale manga scan). The font on the Kenpachi one is from www.chank.com, which has some nice free TTF fonts. I have a couple of Ichigo pix cleaned up and ready to go, too, but I can't think of what I want them to say! I had another decent Kenpachi image that I could prep up for you ... . I like doing icons: I like the compactness and the challenges that go into fitting the pic & text into that space.
I like Kenpachi an awful lot too ... you might really like Bontenmaru, too, once you get to him in SDK (although he doesn't have a cute little sidekick).
no subject
I'll look forward to him in SDK, then. XD (I need to start hitting the used bookstores around here for back volumes ... there are way too many for me to buy at full price right now.)
no subject
Et voila ...
No words ... you can either do something on your own or wait 'til my brain reboots and I'll come up with something ... he's frowny, though, which isn't as much fun as when he smiles ...
I'm sort of appalled at how much people are charging for used SDK volumes online!
no subject
I've got all of the SDK volumes out so far set up on my Paperbackswap.com wishlist, so it should email me when someone adds a copy. I got the first three volumes that way. But somehow I expect that if you manage to commit past the first three volumes, you're less likely to want to swap them out. :)
no subject
True ... SDK is still my favorite series because of the combination of Bleach-style adventure/combat stuff, scheming, and angst.
Another crack at the Kenpachi icon ... oddly enough, at the moment I have better fonts on my office PC than on my home Mac. It is a puzzlement ...
no subject
(I'm rereading Bleach right now, and am in the middle of vol. 13, in the Kenpachi-Ichigo fight. Whee!)
no subject
BWAHAHA. Wasn't there a bit in the Bleach anime where Shunsui is fighting someone and flower petals start swirling around majestically, and then it slowly pans up to Nanao on the roof tossing flower petals around? That bit cracked me up so hard!
