whats her shinkai first of all
o.O
Her sword's shikai form is Sode no Shirayuki (sleeve of white snow), which resembles a normal katana, except that it is
completely white. This includes the blade, hilt, guard, etc. A streamer of cloth/silk (about a metre in length) is
attached to the end of the hilt, the same way Ichigo's bankai has a chain at the end. Like Tosen's (the blind guy)
shikai, it has more than one ability. To my knowledge (i'm a bit behind so my info may be outdated) only one has been
shown - she utters the command 'some no mai, tsukishiro' (First Dance, White Moon), and traps her oppoenent in a large
column of ice. For this to work she needs to strike her opponent directly or hit the ground around him.
I do not believe that we'll see Rukia's bankai in the manga or the anime. Though she is stronger than originally
potrayed, I seriously doubt she has the natural talent or the phenomenal drive required for one so young/inexperienced
to master a bankai.
