Shinbyeong (spirit)

This article is about the manifested spirit of Kamui's Zanpakutō. For his Zanpakutō and its abilities, see Kamui's Zanpakutō.

Shinbyeong (영적질병, Shinbīongu; literally Spiritual Sickness in Korean) is the manifested spirit of Madara Kawahiru's Zanpakutō. Given that he is the extension of Kamui's own soul as a Sōzōshin, Shinbyeong is considered to be unique in contrast to other Zanpakutō. His Bankai name is Yeouin'chiyu Shinbyeong (여읜치유의영적질병, "Forlorn Cure of the Spiritual Sickness").
