Here's Our First Look at Shinji's and Hisagi's Bankais
The Bleach manga ended back in 2016, but that wasn’t enough for fans. Enter the spin-off manga, Can’t Fear Your Own World. Now, I have not been able to keep up with the spin-off, but I may need to fix that. In the latest volume, some bonus sketches were added, including one of Shinji Hirako and one of Shuhei Hisagi. Normally, this wouldn’t be too much, but the sketches show their Bankais. This is big for me since Hisagi is one of my favorite characters. I think he’s really cool and then his Zanpakutou is amazing. Now, we’ll get to see his Bankai, too!?
We’ll start with Shinji’s Bankai though. It appears like it changes the sword to have a giant ring for a tip and a flower-like thing can be seen surrounding the soul reaper. According to CB, some fan translators have discovered that like his Shikai, Shinji’s Bankai reverses all senses, but it seems like it may also be able to reverse allegiances as well. Why the heck didn’t he use this earlier? Just seems like a really easy way to defeat enemies.
Meanwhile, Hisagi’s Bankai is far more sinister looking. It appears he maintains the two windmill-like blades from his Shikai, but with more chains involved. CB is reporting that fan translators are saying that his Bankai forces him to connect with his enemy and whatever wounds one receives, the other shares it. However, their wounds are then rapidly healed based on their spiritual pressure. This makes it paramount that Hisagi is able to control his spiritual pressure than his opponent so that he doesn’t run out first. This might explain why we haven’t seen it yet.
I just wish they would release like an encyclopedia that revealed the Bankai and Shikai of all the characters we met. That’d be a really easy and convenient way to keep up with our favorites.
