"You are kidding, my ability makes you fear everything!" "I am dead!" "??? More nonsense" "No seriously, I freeze EVERYTHING, myself included!" "You continue to spout absurdities!" "No really I'm dead because I'm super cold which makes me hyper fast!" "That..Cannot be..." "Ha! You are dead like me!:D:D" | ||

On a serious note, my concern is that when your temperature dropped that low...how the hell can she still see anything (just ignore all other organs for the moment caused' only eyes are directly exposed to the air). | ||

What I'm coming to realise is that there is a difference in the ability and power of the zunpukuto spirit and the wielders maturity, ability and knowledge of how to manifest those abilities and that power. However, that does break the concept that the shinigami imprints their soul on an asauchi.... meaning, the imprint is smarter than the shinigami creating that imprint... doesn't make sense... The only way this would make sense is if there were several Zunpukuto spirits floating around and the spirit chose the Shinigami with which he would build a partnership. Perhaps we have an error in translation here... because I rememember in one of the movies Toshiro and some other dude had the same zunpukuto and they said one of them would have to give up their sword because two people are not allowed to wield the same zunpukuto... and then Kyoraky kept going on about how Toshiro has a unique sword that appears once in a decade. So, which is it... are zunpukuto free spirits that chose their opponents and hence understand all their abilities from having honed them with their previous shinigami... OR are zunpukuto an imprint of the shinigami's soul and if so why do they know more about the shinigami's power than the shinigami himself? Anyways, when's Zaraki fighting again? Can't ichigo just arrive already... | ||

Her reishi acts like a sort shield, pretty much. What I don't get is where the dances are. Previously, all her powers were dances. Now, it's as if her sword is really different than how it used to be. Makes sense for Renji, but don't see any explanation for her. The dances are just a way Rukkia previously controlled her sword and manifested it's powers. There are previous instances where, like for example Yumichika, zunpukuto respond and manifest different powers based on their wielders instruction. The dances may not be gone, she may have just discoevered another way, a more complete way, to manifest her sword's power. She couldn't do this before because she didn't have the training or the benefit of Ichibei telling her everything as opposed to her going through a process of self discovery and learning... I don't think it's the fact that you CAN'T explain what Kubo does.. I think it's the way he tells the story and the completely unrefined way in which he tells it. The guy seriously needs to take some courses in story telling. However, most people think that NOT refining things is a common device to allow for "plot insertion" in the future... so, perhaps Kubo never wants to fullly explain because he wants to give himself leeway and ability to change things in future chapters... Perhaps japs are used to this way of story telling but I think it's quite clear the rest of the world doesn't agree with it. I think that's where our frustration comes from... the way Kubo is telling the story. | ||

opposed to her going through a process of self discovery and learning... you mean opposed to her actual sword going "hey heres how to use my power" | ||

Also, a zunpukuto may deem the shinigami unworthy of certain aspects of it's power and will chose to mislead its wielder. The question still remains, who is the master... is the Zunpukuto an imprint of the wielders soul and thus grows in unison with the wileder (which is what has been explained) or is the Zunpukuto somehow a complete spirit chosing to partner with a Shinigami choosing to reveal it's power and share information as and when it deems the wielder to be worthy.. I'm still not clear on this. | ||

And I don't think japanese people(not "japs", in which decade were you born) especially like this kind of story telling either. I have no numbers on hand but its popularity has been declining for a long time. Sadly this is still enough to be Kubo's meal ticket. | ||

Similar to the fight where Rukia was immune to fear because she stopped living because of the cold that made her molecules not move anymore. This fight is from One Piece though, but I prefer the explanation of the powers better. http://www.mangapanda.com/103-2568-16/one-piece/chapter-461.html http://www.mangapanda.com/103-2568-17/one-piece/chapter-461.html + Show Spoiler + Basically touchin the ghosts makes you pessimistic and drains your will fight/live. The character Usopp is immune because he already is pessimistic. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + More fear talk and she transforms into something that reminds me of Silent Hill. At least Byakuya is back. | ||
