Soi Fon Zanpakuto
Suzumebachi (Hornet)
Wielder
Soi Fon 2nd Division Captain and also the current Commander in Chief of The Secret Mobile Corps (Onmitsukido.) She is a hard worker, with a tomboy appearance who believes strongly in following orders.
Zanpakuto
Suzumebachi (Hornet): In its sealed form, it resembles a wakizashi with a yellow hilt reminiscent of a Chinese dao. It is kept sheathed horizontally behind Soi fon's lower back hanging by a rope.
Shikai: triggered by the command "Sting all Enemies to Death" (Jinteki Shakusetsu). Grasping onto Suzumebachi with her right hand, the entire sword will glow white and shrink in size. When the emitted glow dies out, it is revealed that Suzumebachi has now taken on the form of a black and gold gauntlet that has a small chain linking it to a stinger-like blade on Soi fon's middle finger. The "stinger" is about twice as long as the normal length of Soi fon's fingers, slightly increasing her striking distance. The colors and pattern of the Shikai resemble those of a hornet, fitting for the Zanpakutō's name. In this form, Suzumebachi is still capable of withstanding an opponent's sword attacks, as Soi fon can block incoming attacks with the "stinger" and gauntlet portions.
Bankai: Jakuho Raikoben (Hornet Thunder Whip): Its appearance is that of a gold armor missile launcher base that encases Soi fon's right arm and comes all the way above her shoulder to form a face shield that she uses to cover the right side of her face. The entire bankai is made up of a large pointed gold cylinder with black markings twice the size of Soi fon herself. Before she activates her Bankai, Soi fon wrapped a heavy metal sash (Ginjōhan) around the building she stood on,[116] in preparation for the attack's massive recoil and the resulting powerful explosion. She uses her Bankai so rarely that it has remained largely unseen by the members of Soul Society; even her own Lieutenant comments on having never seen it before. Soi fon explains that she would prefer not to use her Bankai. She believes that it offends her pride as a Covert Ops agent, as "It's too large to hide, too heavy to move, and its attack is too flashy for assassination
Bankai Special Ability: Being a ranged weapon of the artillery sort, Jakuhō Raikōben has the ability to launch the missile attached to its base. To do so, Soi fon must first raise and aim the huge missile, using the slits present in her face guard to be able to see while doing so. Once targeted, small fins extend from numerous points along the missile, before it is fired. It then tracks its target for a precision strike. After a successful hit, the missile creates a powerful and massive explosion. The burst of explosive energy after the detonation is powerful enough to not only blow away Soi fon and her lieutenant, but also rip the steel sash she was tied with, despite both of them being a long distance away from the explosion. Soi fon is capable of firing more than one missile at the same level of power. This attack has a normal limit of firing no more than one missile every three days; doing so more often taxes her noticeably.
Zanpakuto Spirit Form
Suzumebachi's spirit is a small fairy-like creature wearing gold and black armor with a large stinger-like weapon, the form of which is similar to Soi fon's Shikai, covering her entire right arm (similar to how Soif on's Bankai appears on her arm). She has reddish-brown hair done up in long pigtails, with bangs sweeping down on either side of her left eye. Her eyes are a light pinkish color, and she appears to emit a slight golden glow.
