BLEACH ANIME SWORD RUKIA KUCHIKI ZANPAKUTO
In his shikai, all of the Sode no Shirayuki becomes snow-white, including the blade and handle. The tsuba becomes a compass and the pommel becomes a white ribbon. Since its release, Sode no Shirayuki has been considered the most beautiful zanpakutō in Soul Society. The weapon can control ice, almost like Tōshirō Hitsugaya's Hyōrinmaru, but is used in a different way. Like Kaname Tōsen's Suzumushi and Kisuke Urahara's Benihime, Sode no Shirayuki has more than one ability.
Sode no Shirayuki's abilities are described by Rukia as "dance". With the command "First Dance, White Moon", Rukia can create a magic circle around her target and freeze everything in that circle, from the ground to the sky. With the command "Next dance, white wave" a huge wave of ice is shot from the blade. With the final command "Third Dance, White Sword", Rukia can reforge the sword with ice particles if it is damaged and cut objects in its path. Once the target is pierced by the ice particles, it freezes all other objects, including the battlefield.
