What do you think of Shigarami's Shikai and Bankai, now we know exactly what it can do? What else can this zanpakuto do that we haven't seen yet? How powerful is Shigarami compared to other zanpakuto in Bleach? Let me know your thoughts!

[alexanderloeb]

“Wreck this dude’s fit, Shigarami!” Senjumaru probably

[CaptainKotetsu]

Senjumaru has the coolest design in Squad Zero.

No Contest.

[jrgenvellesen]

I really like the idea that Senjumaru's Bankai power revolves around manipulating fate, and having Uryu being the one to defeat it. Thus setting up how the Antithesis is one of the few abilities that can counter the Almighty.
Even if it is not actually the Zanpakuto's ability, I feel the whole idea of weaving someone's fate is a intentional reference, especially given Uryu's role as being one of the main individuals in the story to challenge his predetermined fate.

[Maxjuliann]

The reveal of her bankai was truly the best surprise I’ve ever gotten while watching / reading bleach

[suhrob]

I think that the pieces of cotton she used to cure Oetsu were made from the bones and hair of Oetsu himself, which is why they cured him so quickly. If Ichigo's uniform was made from parts of Squad Zero, then it is possible that Shutara has samples of each of the squad to heal from severe wounds.

"Those who live by the drip, die dripping blood." - Shūtara Senjumaru

[bqw]

Her zanpakto is badass and she reminds me of the sister's of fate from mythology . That's probably the inspiration that led to her character .

[robertabblebaum]

I think the key here is 'Reishi threads' not fabric threads. Since pretty much everything in Soul Society is made up of Reishi, she can basically weave whatever she wants into existence. Since fabric/clothing are already made out of threads of a different sort, she's much more adept/faster at making those alterations (and of course it leans into her theme).

[shadowtrench]

You know what else is often referred to as a fabric? Space-time.

[ravenlingating]

I think her bankai’s ability is more like cursing the enemy into a doomed fate, as portrayed by the different hanks. Like, once it’s activated, sooner or later, you’re doomed to suffer the fate you are cursed with.

[eggmcmuffin]

So excited to see the Senjumaru vs Uryu fight. I always felt that it was odd that Uryu never proved himself to the sternritter or fought a shinigami at all, especially when Yhwach said that he would show everyone that he was an asset. To have him fight another character who deserved more of a showcase, and being a total powerhouse, is perfect. Also, it’s funny how in Uryu’s earlier appearances he was shown to be proficient at sewing, I wonder if that will be referenced at all in this fight.

[robertdavidblakely]

Her umbrella created by both threads and her spider-like hands might be one of the single most striking abilities in Bleach

[SepangGuy]

Senjumaru's design is both beautiful and menacing. I would argue the aura she has rivals of that of Unohana's. She is the first shinigami managed to kill a Sternritter only with a Shikai and without even moving legs and the first Shinigami who managed to technically killed 4 Schutztaffel in a single battle.

[xxcagedriotxx]

Imo each tanmono she weaves is capable of manifesting various abilities. Which was reflected in their respective designs. The tanmono that summoned fire showed burnt trees with a crimson background. The tanmono that summoned ice showed ice crystals. Etc. I think the big question comes down to if these are set and she just needs to weave that specific pattern to activate the respective ability or if its just an inifite grab bag that does whatever she needs in any given situation.

[Grayson-Winchester]

Senjumaru and Uryu should have a contest about knitting

[arg_]

MrTommo you are spoiling us with all these uploads!

[adrjaco]

Sowing and weaving has cultural ties to fate in several old religions.

[FgtrLife]

I get the confusion of her tapestry illusion being "too much" for a simple shikai, but we have to remember that Squad Zero's members have powers that make any singular gotei member look like an ant. I think it's extremely fitting that the shikai of a Squad Zero member would look like a normal shinigami's bankai.

The counterpoint is obviously Kirinji and Kinpika, but I feel like his fights and abilities outside of "he's the best healer" were never given much thought, which is a shame. Doubly so, since Senjumaru can apparently heal fatal wounds too? Kirinji just can't catch a break. >.>

[Sasori]

Senjumaru is also a scientist so I don’t think it’s that crazy to think she has other methods to amplify her Shikai’s abilities outside of her arms. But even with that, she’s insane in terms of feats. If she can conjure up illusions even half as good as the fake Soul Palace, that’s enough to dupe the majority of the cast. That on top of the special healing technique makes her extremely dangerous. The anime did an exceptional job demonstrating how magnanimously powerful she is.

In terms of the teleporting in Bankai, to me it was clear she was killing each Elite one by one so that still fits with the theme of teleporting within the same cloth.

I also think there might be more than the description provided on the Bankai’s basic ability given that too much information might spoil what will happen in the next cour.
