Ichigo Tensa Bankai Cutting Moon 56" Sword

Up for auction is a brand new 56" Samurai sword inspired by the final form of Ichigo's zangetsu, Tensa Zangetsu (Chains Of Heaven-Slicing Moon) Katana as seen from the anime series Bleach. This sword is considered completely out of the ordinary for any zanpakut. Ichigo's final release appears to be a compression of his power, rather than a vast expansion as other final releases are. This hugely compressed power enables Ichigo to move at an incredible speed, surpassing flash steps, and gives him an agility and reflexes to match, while allowing him to use his strength to its limits. The Tensa Zangetsu is consists of an ordinary katana with a black blade, a handguard in the shape of the manji, which is the kanji for "ban" (full), and a short broken chain dangling as the blade's tassel and replacing the cloth from its released form. This sword is measured at 55" and features a Carbon Steel constructed blade. The blade is fully sharpened, black finished and measured at 40".
