BLEACH - Ichigo vs Renji: Episode 16e (Renji) *growls* You punk!(Byakuya Kuchiki) You let your guard down, Renji.(Byakuya Kuchiki) Ichigo Kurosaki. I’ve heard of you. There was a report from the Secret Remote Squad tracking Rukia. He dealt a Menos Grande quite a serious blow, and forced it back to Hueco Mundo.(Renji) … *laughs* You’ve gotta be kidding me! Man, the Secret Remote Squad must really be slipping these days! THIS kid wounded a Menos Grande!? Who in their right mind would believe that load of crap?! I mean look at him, with that oversized zanpakuto! He obviously can’t even control his own Spiritual Energy! So tell me, what’s the name of that monstrosity?(Ichigo) Huh? It’s name?(Renji) You didn’t even ASK, did you? (Ichigo) Who? Are you telling me you guys name your swords?!(Renji) I knew it. You don’t even know your zanpakuto’s real name, and you really think you can fight me as an equal?! Come back in 2000 years!*THUNDER BOOMS*(Renji) Roar, ZABIMARU! Open your eyes, see what lies before you, and fall upon your prey!*SWORD TRANSFORMS**ATTACKS*(Ichigo) !!! ARGH!(Renji) It’s all over, you runt! You’ve lost to Renji Abarai, and will die where you stand!MY THOUGHTS ramblingsThere is SO MUCH important crap that happens in this one effing episode, it’s insane. You the viewer aren’t aware yet of the formalities behind zanpakuto until a few episodes later, but here Renji inadvertently exposition dumps a lot of key things about how Shinigami combat works, and why Ichigo’s sword is so dang big. (There’s a TON of d**k measuring between Ichigo & Renji, it’s actually hilarious.)When Renji says Ichigo can’t even control his own Spiritual Energy, he’s talking about the sword–all base state zanpakuto appear as simple katana, like Rukia’s, Renji’s, Byakuya’s, etc. Only a Shinigami who has mastered their Spiritual Energy, and learned the name of their zanpakuto, can then command it to then transform into larger, more powerful states.Ichigo’s sword is abnormally big in base state, because he hasn’t learned any of the basics about fighting as a Soul Reaper. Up until now, Rukia (and Uryu, kinda) have just been teaching him how to deal with pesky Hollows. But to deal with other Soul Reapers, Ichigo’s got a LOT more to learn. But ironically, Renji also tells on himself a bit. In his braggadocio, he ends up proving his own point later on, with the size of his own sword/release being “the size of a skyscraper”–this is a very important quote from a super important Shinigami a few arcs later, but I can’t spoil anything yet cuz I actually forgot to introduce the character when I started this gameplay–oops? -- source link
