There are several types of Zanpakutō, classed by the main purpose or effect of their special abilities. These types include:
Melee-Type Zanpakutō: Are typically designed for various forms of armed melee combat rather than magic-based abilities. Ichigo Kurosaki / Hollow Ichigo Kenpachi Zaraki Renji Abarai Ikkaku Madarame Makoto Kifune Shuhei Hisagi Marechiyo Omaeda Sajin Komamura Kidō-Type Zanpakutō: Are designed around a special ability rather than close combat potential. Yumichika Ayasegawa Momo Hinamori Sōsuke Aizen originally claims his is a "flowing-water-type Zanpakutō," but this is later proven to be a lie. Retsu Unohana Kisuke Urahara Kaname Tōsen Hanatarō Yamada Projectile-Type Zanpakutō: When released separate into many air based blades/or substance-based projectile that the owner can control freely. Jirōbō Ikkanzaka Byakuya Kuchiki Rangiku Matsumoto Defense-Type Zanpakutō: Are designed around defensive capability with little or no offense. Rusaburō Enkōgawa A large amount of the Zanpakutō are classified by elements, generally utilizing their respective elements as forms of attack. (It could be said that elemental Zanpakutō are all Kidō-Type which have an element based as noted by Kenpachi Zaraki and Maki Ichinose during their battle, but as this was only mentioned in the anime Episode 98 it cannot be stated as fact.) Fire-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to manipulate fire for various forms of attack or defense. Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai Shūsuke Amagai Ice-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to manipulate ice for various forms of attack or defense. Tōshirō Hitsugaya / Sōjirō Kusaka Rukia Kuchiki Earth-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to manipulate the ground for various forms of attack or defense. Zennosuke Kurumadani Wind-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to manipulate wind for various forms of attack or defense. Shunsui Kyōraku Kensei Muguruma Senna Water-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to manipulate water (& related effects) for various forms of attack or defense. Kaien Shiba / Aaroniero Arruruerie (taken from Kaien Shiba) Jūshirō Ukitake Plant-Type Zanpakutō: Designed for the manipulation of plant growth for offense or defense. Ryūsei Kenzaki Light-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to manipulate light for various effects. Maki Ichinose Poison-Type Zanpakutō: Designed to administer poison as a form of attack. Soifon Mayuri Kurotsuchi Electricity-Type Zanpakutō: Designed for manipulation of lightning for offense or defense. Seigen Suzunami Unknown Types (These are the Zanpakutō that while the names and shikai are known, their type cannot be readily verified.) Gin Ichimaru Izuru Kira Chōjirō Sasakibe Isane Kotetsu Sub-TypesThere are a few "sub-types" of Zanpakutō classification such as: Constant-Release Type: Zanpakutō that are always in shikai form because of the strength of their wielder's spiritual energy.[11] Kenpachi Zaraki Ichigo Kurosaki Dual Bladed ZanpakutōDual-Blade Type: Zanpakutō that feature more then one blade in Shikai release. It is decidedly rare for one to possess such a weapon and therefore it says a lot about the uniqueness of its wielder's spiritual power. Jūshirō Ukitake Shunsui Kyōraku Shūhei Hisagi |
