Bankai

<u>Welcome to the Bankai Club</u> From the Creators of the BATTLE ARENA club, comes the BANKAI club. All Soul Reapers possess a zanpakutō, literally ("soul-cutting sword"), a weapon which reflects aspects of their soul and personality. By learning the name of the sword's spirit and through training, Soul Reapers can unlock more powerful forms of their zanpakutō. The first form, known as shikai (initial release), changes the sword's appearance to better facilitate its special abilities. The second form, known as bankai (final release), can only normally be achieved when a Soul Reaper trains with their zanpakutō for decades. Once achieved, the Soul Reaper can unlock their zanpakutō's full potential, increasing their own power several times over.
