10 Most Powerful Weapons In Anime History
6. Bleach - Zangetsu
As one of the most popular animes of all time, Bleach has a loyal following of fans who love the epic battles that the Soul Reapers get themselves into. Part of the enjoyment of this is seeing them utilise their unique swords, otherwise known as their zanpakuto.
While a Zanpakuto might look an ordinary sword, the ones owned by high-ranking Soul Reapers have special abilities. In the case of the show's main character, Ichigo Kurosaki, his zanpakuto, also known as Zangetsu, is quite a bit different from others wielded by fellow Soul Reapers. Zangetsu is formed utilising Soul Reaper and Hollow powers, making it a completely unique weapon compared to what everyone else has.
Admittedly, Zangetsu's special ability isn't the flashiest - that accolade belongs to the captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki - however, what it lacks in aesthetically pleasing finishing moves, it makes up for with the exceptionally destructive, Getsuga Tensho.
By releasing a burst of powerful energy from the tip of his blade, Ichigo has wiped out many of his foes using this move. As the anime goes on, we watch as Ichigo's power increase, making the attack even more devastating than we first imagined.
