Primary Types of Zanpakutō[]

All Zanpakutō fall under one of two types, Power-type, Zanpakutō focused on melee combat, such as Kenpachi Zaraki's Nozarashi, or Kidō-type, Zanpakutō which are reliant on special abilities to find success such as Izuru Kira's Wabisuke.

Power-Type Zanpakuto (パワー型(タイプ), Pawā Taipu)

(Typically designed for various forms of armed melee combat rather than a special ability.)

Kidō Sub-type Zanpakutō[]

Though all special ability-reliant Zanpakutō are of the Kidō-type, some are especially defined and are granted their own categories, making them a subset of Kidō-type Zanpakutō. The manner in which these Zanpakutō work is specific, for example, an Illusion-type Zanpakutō will always use a specific trigger in order to induce illusory effects (For Sōsuke Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu you must witness the Zanpakutō switch from its sealed state to its released state, for Zetsubō Usuguraiboshi's Sensenkyōkyō you must come into contact with its blade), as such, a Zanpakutō that may create illusions without relying on a specific trigger may not belong to that type, and instead fit under another.

Absorption-type Zanpakutō

(Designed around absorbing energy or materials from other sources to utilise/empower their own abilities.)

Elemental-type Zanpakutō[]

Elemental-type Zanpakutō are another form of Kidō-type Zanpakutō, defined not by specific mechanics, but by the elements that they utilise instead. An Elemental-type Zanpakutō makes use of a variety of natural elements for its abilities, and no Elemental-type is capable of utilising more than one element (For example, Momo Hinamori's Tobiume is a Fire-type Zanpakutō and its abilities only make use of flames, Senjumaru Shutara's Shigarami weaves massive tapestries that can evoke a great number of effects, even freezing or burning enemies, and is not an Elemental-type Zanpakutō).

Conceptual-type Zanpakutō[]

Conceptual-type Zanpakutō, like Elemental-type Zanpakutō, are a broad category of Kidō-type Zanpakutō that are defined by the ability to manipulate esoteric constructs and concepts rather than the natural forces of the elements. These Zanpakutō may control things such as time, or space, or gravity, and like their elemental cousins, can only control one specific concept (As examples, Kazuki Matsushita's Kigetsu is a Time-type Zanpakutō that has control over potential futures, while Kagerōza Inaba's Raikū is a Space-type Zanpakutō, capable of manifesting connections to and from the Dangai as well as recording and recreating events and abilities depending on whether he spins his Zanpakutō to the left or right).

Time-Type Zanpakutō

(Designed to manipulate the flow of time for various forms of attack and defense.)

General Sub-types[]

There exist categories of Zanpakutō which are notably different from the standard, in one way or another.

  • Constant Release-type: These Zanpakutō are always in their Shikai state by default, whether that is because of a lack of control over their power on the part of the wielder, or just their sheer strength, the cases may vary. The de jure example of this type of Zanpakutō is Ichigo Kurosaki and his Zangetsu which takes a variety of forms throughout the series, but always maintains its released state regardless of Ichigo's growth and development.
  • Cursed-type: These Zanpakutō are loosely defined by their nature as being, in some way, negative for its wielders or Shinigami as a whole. A prime example of this nature would be Kōga Kuchiki's Muramasa which could wrest control of Zanpakutō from their wielders, turning the blades, their powers, and even the spirits within against them; making it a weapon more suited for fighting other Shinigami than Hollows.
  • Ancestral-type: Typically, a Zanpakutō is born from the bonding of a Shinigami with their Asauchi, giving birth to a Zanpakutō Spirit and its abilities as a part of the wielder's soul comes to live within their sword. However, some Zanpakutō are not unique to a person, but instead inherited within a family line, with each member being subject to that single Zanpakutō, through varying means. The Ise Clan are one such example, with their bond to Shinken Hakkyōken, which is passed down between family head to family head. A Zanpakutō with a given name and abilities may only appear once in any given era, but can sometimes re-manifest in another era, even without relation between wielders.

Hollow-type Zanpakutō[]

When a Hollow manages to transform into an Arrancar part of the process involves converting their Hollow powers into the shape of a sword, becoming a form of Zanpakutō, as they imitate and inherit powers akin to Shinigami. As they are not Shinigami themselves, these Zanpakutō fall outside of standard categorization, loosely grouped together by their origin, coming from their original Hollow powers. An Arrancar's Zanpakutō is only a sword in name, and their appearance can vary wildly from any manner of sword (different from the almost uniform appearance of Shinigami Zanpakutō as katana) to battle axes to even being a living person. They also possess a unique release state (the conference of their Hollow powers back to themselves) known as a Resurrección with its own unique conditions and restrictions.

Hollow-type Zanpakutō (Resurrección)

(Zanpakutō formed from the Hollow powers of Arrancar.)
