BLEACH RENJI SERIES

Ichigo soon arrives in Soul Society to continue his attempted rescue of Rukia. After they return to Soul Society and Rukia is imprisoned, Renji periodically checks up on her, trying to keep her spirits high despite her impending execution. Byakuya steps in to mortally wound Ichigo. Renji and Ichigo fight briefly, however, Ichigo was easily defeating him after a sudden release of reiatsu, which was actually random bursts of resolve. Once they find Rukia and prepare to return home, Ichigo Kurosaki arrives to save Rukia. Renji and his captain, Byakuya Kuchiki, are sent to the human world to find Rukia Kuchiki and bring her back to Soul Society. He can also use a much more powerful higa zekkЕЌ, where all the segments detach and sharpen using spiritual energy. The technique fires a dense blast of spiritual energy from Zabimaru's mouth. Zabimaru also gains a special technique known as hikЕЌtsu taihЕЌ ( з‹’йЄЁе¤§з І ?, 'baboon bone cannon') after Renji becomes more adept with using his bankai. Zabimaru itself, in bankai form, does not literally 'cut', Renji usually catches his opponent with the snake-head of his weapon and smashes his opponent into the ground with it. Even if a segment is damaged, Renji can simply detach it and reform Zabimaru. Unlike its shikai, Zabimaru's segments are held together by Renji's spiritual power, allowing him to separate and reattach them at will. Zabimaru's bankai is HihiЕЌ Zabimaru ( з‹’з‹’зЋ‹и›‡е°ѕдёё ?, 'baboon king snake tail') and transforms Zabimaru into a massive version of its shikai form resembling a skeletal snake. Renji can also use his spiritual power to separate the segments and surround an opponent with them, allowing him to execute a one-shot omnidirectional attack called higa zekkЕЌ ( з‹’з‰™зµ¶е’¬ ?, 'bite of a baboon's broken fang'). While Zabimaru can be stretched to incredible lengths in its whip form, Renji has a limit of three consecutive attacks before having to bring the segments of Zabimaru back together for recovery. The segments are connected by a stretchable thread, making Zabimaru more useful as a whip than an actual sword. In such state, it transforms into a segmented blade with a pick-like protrusion on each segment. Zabimaru's shikai command is 'Roar' ( е’†гЃ€г‚Ќ hoero ?), or 'howl' in other English translations. In Zabimaru's 'true form,' the baboon takes the form of a woman and the snake becomes a child. Both the snake and baboon are capable of speaking, though the baboon is usually the more dominant one. Zabimaru's spirit is portrayed as battle-loving and proud, similar in personality to Renji. Zabimaru is a nue (a baboon with a snake tail), hence his name. Renji's zanpakutЕЌ is Zabimaru ( и›‡е°ѕдёё ?, roughly 'snake tail').

BLEACH RENJI SERIES

A continuing gag in the series is Renji's nick name, red pineapple, referring to his crimson hair kept in a pineapple top-like ponytail. Ichigo claims they are cousins to keep things simple, allowing many hilarious situations to occur later, including comments over their unusually colored hair. He is similar to Ichigo Kurosaki in many aspects, and the two are mistaken for brothers in the anime's Bount arc. Many Bleach fans speculated that he's the most powerful Vice Captain and non-captain position in the Soul Society, but this is often refuted due to the fact that he has lost a greater number of fights than he has won. He's also one of the only Vice Captains to achieve bankai. Willing to fight, kill, and die for whatever he believes in, Renji is a dangerous man to those who stand in his way.

He varies from smug and cocky in his first appearances to depressed after his major defeats, but shows himself to be an incredibly serious and determined fighter when confronted with an actual challenge. Renji is about as eccentric as any other Soul Reaper.
