Here’s Why Bankai Ichigo Can’t Be Picked Up
You must be curious, right, why a Captain-class Bankai can be stolen, but Ichigo’s Bankai cannot. For those of you who want to know, you can see the discussion below.
1. Quincy’s Power Will Not Affect Other Quincys
The first reason why Bankai Ichigo cannot be taken is because Quincy’s true power will not affect other Quincy. If you’ve read the manga, you’ll know the moment when Ichigo breaks free from Quilge Opie’s absolute prison.
According to Yhwach, Quilgie Opie’s prison was designed to hold other spiritual beings, not mehan Quincy. From this explanation, it is clear that the power Quincy has does not affect Ichigo.
What’s more is the fact that Ichigo is a half-blood Quincy, most likely the medallion used by the Sternritter has no effect on Ichigo, because Ichigo has Quincy blood from his mother, Masaki.
2. Possibility that Tensa Zangetsu is not a Bankai Shinigami
The next reason why Bankai Ichigo cannot be taken is because Tensa Zangetsu is not a Bankai Shinigami. As we mentioned in the previous point Ichigo’s Quincy is of mixed blood.
Given this, it is likely that the Bankai that Ichigo has been using is not a Shinigami Bankai but falls into the Vollstandig category. You see, when Ichigo went to the Soul King’s palace, Nimaiya said that the black Zangetsu that had been accompanying Ichigo was not Zanpakutou.
Rather, it is a manifestation of Quincy’s power inherited by Masaki. If that was true, it meant that indirectly, Ichigo had been fighting using his Quincy powers without knowing it.
3. Original Zanpakuto Has Hollow Elements
The next reason why Ichigo’s Bankai cannot be taken is because his original Zanpakuto has a Hollow element. For those of you who don’t know, Quincy’s biggest weakness is Hollow, because Hollow emits something that is toxic to Quincy.
When Urahara discovered the Bankai Hollowfication method, the Sternritter could no longer steal Bankai. If artificial Bankai Hollowfication was possible, then Ichigo, who had the Hollow element from the beginning, should be able to overcome the Bankai thief medallion.
4. Ichigo’s Great Power Level
The latter reason is due to Ichigo’s great power level. So besides Tensa Zangetsu there is another Bankai that cannot be taken, namely Zanka no Tachi, why the Bankai is not stolen because of its great power.
Yhwach claimed that he was the only one who could steal Yamamoto’s Bankai, he forbade ordinary Quincy or Sternritter to steal it. Seeing this fact, it is likely that Ichigo’s power is so great that no one can steal his Bankai.
This is the reason why Bankai Ichigo can’t be taken by Quincy. After reading this article, what is your personal opinion? Don’t forget to keep visiting Dafunda.
