User blog:Silver-Haired Seireitou/Sake Time with Sei - Three's a Crowd

Welcome, everybody, to the newest installment of Sake Time with Sei. Get yourselves a drink and get comfortable.



For those of you just joining us recently, this is a discussion blog where I will bring up a controversial topic in the Bleach universe, and you will all discuss it, offering up your insights and thoughts on it. There are no wrong answers here, everybody's opinions should be respected equally, but you are more than welcome to counter another user's opinions, especially my own. That's the fun of this discussion corner.

Wow, it's been ages since I've done one of these; despite my promise of doing them at least once a month. Well, I'm gonna try to return to doing them as frequently as I can, though I'm not sure how popular these blogs were. At any rate, I'll still bore you with them, so try not to kill me over it!

Today's Topic
So now here's a thought to consider.

Zanpakutō are born when a Shinigami carries around an Asauchi, which is essentially a blank canvas, and throughout constant interaction, their essence is imprinted onto the sword causing it to become the Zanpakutō itself. Quoting from Chaper 523: "All Shinigami must spend every waking moment with their Zanpakutō and as they progress in their training, they slowly and methodically imprint the essence of their soul into their asauchi. It is in this manner that they guide and mold "their own Zanpakutō"."

With that in mind, let me ask you this?

'''After imprinting their essence into an asauchi and molding their own Zanpakutō, what would happen if they repeated the process by wielding another asauchi and spent time with that one? Consider this in both terms of spending every waking moment with this new asauchi together with their Zanpakutō as well (hence, three's a crowd), and also, if they only spent time with the new asauchi and left behind their old Zanpakutō somewhere to collect dust.'''

So ask yourselves. Would a new Zanpakutō be born? Would an exact replica of the original Zanpakutō be born? Would nothing happen? How might the old Zanpakutō react to this? Will it become an episode of "The Young and Swordless"?

Without further adieu, discuss! --Silver-Haired Seireitou (Dosvidaniya, tovarisch.) 17:50, May 17, 2015 (UTC)
