Notable Attacks/Techniques or Alternate Forms:
Shikai ~ Zangetsu: The second form (or first "upgraded" form) available to a Zanpakutō. To activate it, the Shinigami needs to learn the name of their Zanpakutō. Zangetsu's shikai has taken on multiple forms.
- Incomplete Zangetsu: The first form Zangetsu took after Ichigo learned it's name.
- Post-Xcution Zangetsu: The form Zangetsu took when Ichigo regained his Shinigami powers, after having awakened his Fullbring.
- Reforged Zangetsu: Zangetsu after being reforged by Oetsu Nimaiya; it's true form.
- Getsuga Tensho: Cresent-shaped projectile. Zangetsu's most basic attack, accessible in all of it's forms; including all versions of Tensa Zangetsu. Esentially a raw blast of the user's reietsu.
- Getsuga Jjuuji-Shou: Cross-shaped varient of Getsuga Tensho. Only accessible with the reforged Zangetsu.
Bankai ~ Tensa Zangetsu: Unlike most Bankai forms, which usually create some sort of massive creature or effect, Tensa Zangetsu actually shrinks it's sword down to a daitō (Japanese long sword) with a black blade instead. Tensa Zangetsu concentrates its power, and redirects it back into the user; providing a substantial boost to their physical abilities, with an emphasis on speed. Tensa Zangetsu has taken multiple forms.
- Incomplete Tensa Zangetsu: The form Tensa Zangetsu took when Ichigo first achieved Bankai.
- Dangai Tensa Zangetsu: Tensa Zangetsu after Ichigo's training in the Dangai. Displayed a noticeable increase in raw power and physical buffs..
- Final Getsuga Tensho: By using this technique, Ichigo becomes the Getsuga (Moon Fang) itself. It is referred to as the “Final” Getsuga Tenshō because if Ichigo uses it, he loses all of his Shinigami powers. For the duration of the ability, Ichigo’s hair turns black, and becomes waist length. In this form, Ichigo’s body constantly emits smoky black reiatsu, most of which is focused around his right arm. Being in this form allows Ichigo to use Mugetsu. Once it is used, the transformation dissipates, in which he will then lose consciousness accompanied by intense pain with the loss of his Shinigami powers following
- Mugetsu: Ichigo generates a blade of deep black spiritual energy in his hand and swings it towards the target. Doing so causes a massive veil of black spiritual energy to erupt upwards and approach the target, darkening the sky, and heavily damaging anything caught within the blast
- Post-Xcution Tensa Zangetsu: The form Zangetsu took when Ichigo regained his shinigami powers, after having awakened his Fullbring.
