Coolest Bleach Zanpakutō

(Screenshot from Hell Verse)

Bleach is filled with some awesome swords that can do crazy stuff, other than cutting. Here on this list are what I think are the coolest zanpakutō. Mind you by coolest I don't mean the strongest, just the coolest:

#1 Kyōka Suigetsu

Wielder: Sōsuke Aizen

This one’s probably the strongest zanpakutō. Just one glance and Aizen has control over the victim’s all five senses. The only way to stay safe from its effects is by not looking at the blade when released, being blind or touching it (Something which only Ichimaru Gin managed), Aizen probably would have won against Ichigo if he kept this zanpakutō. And its bankai form was never revealed...

#2 Zangetsu

Wielder: Kurosaki Ichigo

Out of all the zanpakutō, this one is definitely the most evolved one if not the strongest. The Shikai mode itself is an oversized kitchen knife meant to chop hollows like vegetables and now Ichigo gets two of those. Its main attack itself is Getsugatenshu which is basically an overcharged energy slash which gets boost and Cross Getsugatenshu for double the fun. Against Aizen, Ichigo’s Final Getsugatenshu is saved the day. Its Bankai so high on raw power that the Quincies couldn’t seal it. And now he'll probably get a new one...

#3 Hyōrinmaru

Wielder: Hitsugaya Tōshirō

It’s an ice dragon sword, a dragon and ice type. That alone should be reason enough to put this one on the coolest list. If that isn’t enough here are a few reasons it’s cool enough.

Hyōrinmaru is strong enough to face Captain Commander Genryūsai’s Ryūjin Jakka, both the Captain Commander and his zanpakutō are said to be the strongest. Ryūjin Jakka also happens to be the strongest fire type and another dragon type zapakutō.

This zanpakutō is so cool they made an anime movie about it. In case you're wondering, it's called Diamond Dust Rebellion.

#4 Senbonzakura

Wielder: Kuchiki Byakuya

Senbonzakura is one of the few things that make the colour pink look badass. You may or may not like Byakuya but the idea of shredding your enemy by throwing thousands of shaving blades in matter of seconds is appealing in the most non-psychopathic way possible.

#5 Nozarashi

Wielder: Zaraki Kenpachi

Any Zanpakūto that destroys a meteorite in a slash can be considered nothing less than cool. Okay maybe a lot zanpaktou's can do the same, but the meteorite Nozarashi destroyed had the power of imagination and was indestructible. By destroying it, Nozarashi and Zaraki went beyond imagination.

#6 Sode no Shirayuki

Wielder: Kuchiki Rukia

It’s an ice type, one of the only two, by definition that makes Sode no Shirayuki cool. It’s also got some sweet moves meant to freeze enemies in a huge ice pillar before shattering them. Its Bankai is so cold that Rukia runs the risk of breaking apart like ice everytime she activates it.

#7 Zabimaru

Wielder: Renji Abarai

How can this not be cool? It's Shikai form it's like a combo of an urumi with multple blades (which I guess makes it a whip sword?). It was designed to rip people apart just by whipping them. Then there's the false-Bankai mode which is like a huge snake puppet that shoots laser beams. And while this puppet can be broken, I wouldn't recommend that unless you want the broken pieces to fly at you and stab you.

And then there's the real Bankai mode which is a combo of a size-shifting giant monkey-arm and a bone-chain sword that fires laser beam.

#8 Kazeshini

Wielder: Hisagi Shūhei

Kazeshini may not be as powerful as other Zanpakutō on the list or even those not on the list it’s just cool enough to be on this list. Unlike other Zanpakutō which mostly take form of swords, Kazeshini is a scythe which is the weapon normally associated with Soul Reapers or the Grim Reaper and other death personifications. In fact it’s a black double bladed double scythe. The weapon itself is so deadly and blood thirsty that Shuhei, the wielder himself is afraid of it.

#9 Ryūjin Jakka

Wielder: Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni

Belonging to the Captain Commander, Ryūjin Jakka is said to be the strongest zanpakūto and definitely the strongest fire type. It's so strong that only Yhwach, the emperor of Quincies could seal it's Bankai mode.

#10 Katen Kyōkotsu

Wielder: Shunsui Kyōraku

With this dual blade, Shunsui literally plays games with his opponents. And if that fails, then he has a suicide theatre ready to play.
