HHJMFD Sword in Cosplay and Anime Kurosaki Ichigos Zanpakutou Black Stainless Steel Katana Straight and Longer Version.

Ichigo kurosaki sword name. 15 pre timeskip 17 after the timeskip. In episode 21 when Ichigo was fighting Jindanbou guardsman of Gate of the White Way in Soul Society Ichigo claims that his name translates to number one guardian ichi - firstbest go - guardian angel. He does this with the help of a Zanpakutō 斬魄刀 a Soul-cutter Sword which is in the form of a Japanese Katana.

Because of the weak nature of its spiritual energy Byakuya Kuchiki easily cut off most of the blade during his first encounter with Ichigo and Kisuke Urahara subsequently sliced it down to the hilt during their training forcing Ichigo to learn the name of his Zanpakutō in order to release its true form. During Byakuya Kuchiki s fight with Ichigo Byakuya refers to this attack as a Kuroi Getsuga 黒月牙 Black Moon Fang referring to the attacks darkened color. Only it was not complete.

As Ichigo remembers Renji using his Shikai during their fight Urahara telling him every Zanpakuto has a name cuts through the remains of Ichigos blade until just the hilt remains saying if he continues to fight with just the hilt he will kill him. Its unawakened form is very large and bulky yet it isnt as powerful as. Before this Ichigo had his two black swords with Ichigo balancing Zangetsu and Old Man.

One being Juha Bach and the other Hollow Ichigo. Once he did this Ichigos sword wasnt just one but in fact two different swords both named Zangetsu.

Then the biggest sword that represented Zangetsu turned completely white and Ichigo does his first ever Zangetsu release. Both Ichigo and Zangetsu have stated the Kuroi Getsuga was originally the latters technique. Ichigos zanpakuto is named Zangetsu Moon Cutter though he doesnt realize this until he begins training under Urahara.
