I don't understand... Bankai is meant to be bigger than your Shikai, so dafuq's going on here? And since when does Bankai effect your skin?
.... Not this again.... where did it EVER say that Bankai is supposed to be BIGGER? STRONGER/MORE POWERFUL yes, but bigger? hah hell no. That's the Shikai rule.Didn't Byakuya say that when Ichigo went Bankai? And I'm pretty sure it's always been either the same size or bigger, never smaller.
Remember the MC aka Ichigo's Bankai? It's really small. His normal sword is in Shikai form (as he can't suppress his energy), which is obv way bigger than his Bankai form.
1) Ichigo's Bankai wasn't even legitimate, as it was forged by his Quincy soul.
2) Ichigo's outfit was part of his Bankai, thus that forgery is still bigger than his Shikai.
As for the comment on his skin, well... there ain't no rule as to what a Bankai actually does, is there..? Just like old man Yamamoto had a form where he could envelop his whole body in flames.
Exactly, it was a technique, not a default transformation.
Zaraki just found out about his Bankai, he has little to no control over it atm. Remember, it takes at least 10 years to get to control it perfectly. Even after the 10 years, the Bankai form continous to progress together with his master, just like Yamamoto's Bankai got different from 500 years ago (just try to remember the chapter where Yama explained this before or during his Bankai reveal)
I don't see how this relates to my post? That seems like a strawman tbh.
