Taichi Tachibana

The Zanpakutou takes the form of a simple tanto, with a short, one-sided blade. Its hilt guard is simply a circle with a spiral-like pattern originating from the center. The hilt itself is colored a greyish orange.


Taking the form of an older man, Kuroi Zekkyou appears before Taichi clad in worn, ragged clothes covered in ash. His facial features are certainly not as sharp as Taichi's, but his visible eye has the same piercing quality found in the Shinigami's. His other eye is normally covered with a cloth wrapping, and when removed reveals a nasty scar running the length of his face. Kuroi Zekkyou's hair is a graying black, sharing the color with his thick beard.


Kuroi Zekkyou acted as a firm, if rather gung-ho mentor to Taichi, having encouraged his user to overcome his shortcomings through training and focus. Taichi's lack of the latter is what both his Zanpakuto and himself blame for the event that led to the Shinigami's refusal to engage in combat for the past many years. Since then, Taichi has not called upon his Zanpakuto in combat, and any attempts to speak with Kuroi Zekkyou have earned him nothing but silence and a deeply disappointed glare. While Taichi interprets this as a form of being reprimanded for what happened, Kuroi Zekkyou is simply waiting for the Shinigami to rediscover his fighting spirit, disappointed that he now hides from battle like he does.

When not giving Taichi the silent treatment, Kuroi Zekkyou seems intent on keeping a harshly logical, almost militaristic air about himself, but often finds his composure broken when Taichi is actually excited over something, becoming similarly enthusiastic and encouraging the Shinigami even despite reason at times.


Taichi's Inner World seems to be a weapons workshop of sorts, not dissimilar to the one he spends most of his time in while in the waking world. While it was once a neat little place, the workbenches seem to have materialized more and more unfinished projects over the years, sitting only to collect dust. Taichi does not know where they come from, he theorizes that they may be what Kuroi Zekkyou occupies his time with when dormant.

SHIKAI

In Shikai, Kuroi Zekkyou appears as a glaive-like rifle weapon, comprised of a long, cast iron pole with a worn, serrated blade mounted to the side. Beneath the blade, a trigger is mounted to the pole, allowing Taichi to fire from the bladed end. Along the hilt, cloths have been wrapped around the pole, making it slightly more comfortable to wield. Despite firing bullets among other things, Kuroi Zekkyou does not need to be loaded, as the ammunition seems to be materialized by Taichi's Reiatsu.
