Jean was inside the Sky Poison Pearl while Jasmine was sitting in front of him with a curious face.
Jean: Ahem, first of all, let's start about who and what I am, My name is Jean, and I currently reside in Yun Che's Mindscape.
Jasmine: Like you heard before, my name is Jasmine, why you reside in this trash's Mindscape?
Jean: I don't know, I just appeared there. Now, I am a Zanpakutou's Spirit, a spiritual being that helps the host, which in my case is Yun Che, in fights. A Zanpakutou's Spirit represents the Zanpakutou itself, a weapon, that will be used from the host, did you get it from here?
Jasmine nodded and waited for him to continue, meanwhile Yun Che just killed the wild wolf with the Zanpakutou's sealed form, and now was sitting somewhere to take a rest.
Jean: A Zanpakutou is a weapon that can cut even the soul itself, so you should be careful about fighting someone with one, unless you can heal your soul itself, but don't worry, in the entire universe, I am the only Zanpakutou to ever exist.
The Zanpakutou is a weapon that will grow with the strength of the host, and has 3 forms in total.
The first one is what Yun Che just used to kill the wild wolf, the sealed form of a Zanpakutou, it is just like any other katana, just a bit stronger than normal.
Then Jean made appear a replica of the katana in his hands, and Jasmine was observing it, and with her senses. she only seen that it was a mortal weapon.
Jasmine: What are the next two forms?
Jean: Well, every Zanpakutou has a different name, and calling the name of the zanpakutou, you will unlock the second form, that is called Shikai, Yun Che doesn't know the name yet because he is
unworthy of knowing it.
Jasmine: Unworthy?
Jean: Yes, this is a sort of trial to unlock the Shikai, you need to know the name of the Zanpakutou, but even if I tell him what is the weapon's name, he will only hear some letters, signaling that he is some steps nearer to knowing the name. I'll show you the Shikai right now… Paragon.
Jean murmured the last word, so she couldn't hear it, then the katana emitted black and blue reiyoku before it transformed in the gargantuan greatsword.
Which shocked Jasmine from the size and the looks of the weapon, before the weapon emitted killing intent everywhere, making Jasmine sweat and tremble from looking at it, Jean took a deep breath and the sword stopped emitting killing intent.
Jean: This, is my Shikai, some shikai have special powers while some others don't, this big guy's special power is to release my same killing intent indiscriminately everywhere, and to whoever looks at the greatsword.
Right now, Jasmine used her senses to look at how strong the weapon was, and raised an eyebrow when she felt that the weapon transformed from a mortal weapon to a Sky Profound Weapon.
Jean: Like I said, a zanpakutou grows with his host, so it may seem weak the blade to you, but I am a special case, and under certain conditions, my power grows alone, like when you threatened me, and my power increased to a level where I can easily defeat you.
Jasmine: Oh… What happens if the zanpakutou breaks?
Jean: it depends, if the zanpakutou breaks while it is in sealed form, you just need to use Shikai to restore it, if it breaks while it is in Shikai, you just need to give some time before it repairs itself, the problem is at the last form, which is called Bankai.
Jasmine: Ban… Kai..?
Jean: Yes, first of all, every Bankai increases the host's power from 5 folds to 10, and it may take any form, it can be a golem, petals, a smaller or bigger blade, or it is an ability itself, like making people's five senses to stop working, for unlocking Bankai you need to make a similar trial to Shikai.
But even if I am the Zanpakutou itself, I don't know the name of the Bankai, so I can't use it for now, I theorized that I should wait for Yun Che to reach Shikai or get strong enough for it.
Now let's go to the previous argument, what happens if the Bankai breaks, it will end there, it stops working unless in certain special cases, for example if the bankai is an armor, everything will be ok until the weapon itself will break, or if it is a golem, you can break it however you want without damaging the zanpakutou.
Jasmine: are there any methods to repair it?
Jean: I know only 2 methods, the first is reforging it with special tools, the second is completely changing the zanpakutou spirit, me.
Jasmine: And how it happens?
Jean: Since I am the zanpakutou's spirit, if I drastically change the inner me, the Shikai will change too, and following it the Bankai will change too...
Jasmine: Ohhhh... Then, what are the powers one could gain?
Jean: There is a really big list of them, one could be killing anyone, no matter how strong he or she is, if you hit the same place two times, mine is releasing heavy killing intent, and another one is double up the weight of something every time you touch it.
Jasmine: So strong!! And the Bankai?
Jean: The Bankai is even better, either the ability changes to something even more strong, or it upgrades.
For example from releasing hot flames, it will concentrates all the flames in the blade, making it as hot as the sun itself, it could be a giant golem, or else concentrating all the mass of a big weapon in something small, to increase the speed.
Jasmine: Do you know your Bankai's powers?
Jean: I still haven't a Bankai yet, but I have a little idea about what it could be…
Jasmine: What is it?
Jean walked to Jasmine and crouched at her level, then he winked while smiling
Jean: You will find it yourself…
Jasmine: Eh?
Jean: Well, if you want you can start to talk to this moron, if you want to ask something to me just call, I will hear you, bye.
Then Jean entered Yun Che's Mindscape while Jasmine sighed and then left the Sky Poison Pearl for a talk with Yun Che
Hello guys, here is another chapter, this can be considered even a filler for those who don't know much about what is a Zanpakutou, the second repairing method is done from me, since the first is impossible without the Sword God's forge in Bleach, comment, put PS, review and bye.
