For Rukia, if I'm not mistaken, she "majors" in kidou, which means she knows a lot of spells. How many, can not be certain. And, for her shikai/bankai, as far as we know she only has shikai. However, she does seem powerful enough to obtain bankai if she has not already and is keeping it secret.

Yeah, Hitsugaya's bankai attaches to him. It gives him "ice wings", and I think even a tail. It doesn't seem to be complete however, as the ice stars that float behind him slowly melt as the fight he's in progresses. It's said that he's forced to call back his bankai after they all disappear, but it hasn't been proven, and was brought up by an arrancar in a recent Japanese episode. He's by far my favorite shinigami, he's just downright awesome! He has supreme control of ice in his bankai, flinging it about as if it were the most abundant substance in the world. It can greatly change landscapes....

Unohana. (fourth Div. Captain) Not much is know of her zanpukto, Minazuki. one of its forms is turning into a giant ray like animal....thing that has healing properties. If you are in Minazuki's belly, your wounds gradually heal. Also, Minazuki can fly, which is a pretty useful ability when you need to get someone to a hospital.

It is unknown if this is Unohana's shikai or bankai, but she uses it a lot so it seems to be her shikai. As for the mist thing you were talking about, I don't know much about it besides what was seen in the ending.


I all started when Urahara helped him get his powers back.
Ichigo would technically be classified as a vizard, yes. He's a little bit different from a conventional vizard, being Ichigo, but that is the closest thing you can classify him as. He's not an arrancar, as he never became a complete hollow, but since he got his hollow powers AT THE SAME TIME as his (not Rukia's) shinigami powers, he's not entirely vizard either.

Well, there are certain inventions one can use to force hollow power out of them, but other then that, I really don't kno the conventional method. I thought I remember one of the characters saying in an episode that all shinigami have hollow powers sleeping within and all one must do is awaken them, but I could be entirely mistaken.


And yeah Rasler, Ichigo is pretty badass like that.
