Sōō Zabimaru, The Two Kings

Renji’s True Bankai

Initially, Zabimaru demonstrated his power in a single confrontation, leaving Mask de Masculine in ruins at Renji’s hands. This solitary fight was astounding for Renji, but it merely provided a sneak peek of his true potential, having discovered his real identity. After training at the Royal Palace, he unveiled two significant skills; Hihiō and Zaga Teppō, which were employed to swiftly eliminate the Quincy. Now, in his latest battle against Uryuu, Renji demonstrates what he’s truly capable of with his newly-enhanced might.

“Us villains are dirty by nature.”

Hihiō, Baboon King

In a transformation, the cowl section of Sōō Zabimaru morphs into an arm resembling a skeletal monkey’s limb that Renji wields using his left arm. This additional appendage serves as both a gripper and a battering ram against his adversaries. This arm possesses immense strength, allowing it to shatter bones effortlessly and manhandle opponents with minimal exertion. To amplify its destructive potential, Renji can unleash a powerful punch by emitting fire from the circular projection in his own arm.

Orochiō, Great Snake King

In simpler terms, when Renji transforms his sword, it changes into a tail-like structure, much like during his initial transformation. Meanwhile, the edge of his Bankai turns into a sharp, serrated whip reminiscent of his Shikai’s form. This way, he can use his weapon in a manner very similar to how his Shikai functions.

Renji unlocked his true Bankai thanks to his training in the Royal Palace.
Hihiō Zabimaru was only half of the Bankai’s name. Sōō Zabimaru is the true name.
This battle with Uryuu is completely new, and it expands on both Renji and Uryuu’s abilities.
This battle proves Renji now sits comfortably at captain-level strength.

Sōō Zabimaru, Zaga Teppō, Twin King Snake Tail, Snake Fang Iron Gun

In the heat of battle, Renji thrusts his sword through his foe. By twisting his hand as if turning a key, he summons colossal serpent jaws infused with spiritual power. These jaws snap shut on the adversary, releasing a tremendous burst of energy that detonates mightily. This attack is so potent it reduces the enemy to ash. It was this move that Renji employed to vanquish Mask de Masculine. Yet, when faced against Uryuu, the Quincy’s Blut Vene counteracted the attack.

Zazekka, Snake Tongue’s Echo

Instead of keeping a solid blade, Renji transforms his sword into a multi-sectional one, similar to his Shikai form. This allows him to launch attacks from further away.

Hihi Tenshō, Baboon Pelt Reincarnation

As a gamer, I’d say: I brush off the fur from my bony monkey limb, and clumps of fur transform into independent monkey arms that grab onto my foes, pinning them down, giving me an opportunity for a subsequent strike.

“Don’t speak like you know Bankai…Quincy!”

Hikotsu Taihō, Baboon Bone Cannon

In the revamped, unfinished form of his Bankai, Renji discharges an intense burst of spiritual power from the monkey’s limb instead of the snake’s mouth, as seen originally. This time, unlike the red blast before, it emits a vibrant, glowing orange radiance. This change is attributed to Renji’s altered spiritual pressure.

Zagai Zekkō, Snake Bone’s Absolute Roar

In one of Renji’s more powerful attacks, he grabs the Orochiō section of the Bankai with his monkey arm and spins it over his head, slowly creating a giant disc of spiritual energy. He then launches it at the opponent, causing a gigantic explosion that leaves a crater in place. This attack is so powerful that he must charge it with spiritual pressure for at least 20 seconds.

Through the unique, anime-exclusive fight between Renji and Uryuu, viewers have been treated to a more comprehensive glimpse into Renji’s genuine Bankai, Sōō Zabimaru. The anime meticulously showcased the full might of Renji’s newly enhanced abilities. Previously, our knowledge of his strength was largely based on a single encounter; however, now, we have a clearer, more holistic understanding of just how immensely powerful the vice-captain of Squad 6 has grown to be.
