So, if you read/watch Bleach, you know that there are a bunch of characters with big swords, and when they shout "BANKAI!" their swords get even bigger(ok, not EXACTLY the case, but close enough to serve.)  Except for Rukia.  Who, for some reason, has a teeny weeny little sword (though, granted, everyone does "ooooo" and "aaaaaaahhh" over it) that never gets a size upgrade(that I know of.)  What's with that?  Surely Rukia is also deserving of a giant sword...

Actually, Captain Unohana's sword turns into a giant flying manta ray that is also an advanced life support system and ambulance! (She's the head of the 4th ... the medic corps.)



But yes, Rukia's sword should do something cool. However, maybe because of her loss of powers, she can't do much with it anymore.

OTOH, Rukia hasn't achieved bankai yet, like most of the shinigami, so she's only got shikai. (And we can lay some of the blame on her adoptive brother, who pulled strings to keep her from being given a seat in her division, so she doesn't get to go out and confront the biggest and baddest of the enemies. :D)

And she gets stuck with a teeny weeny sword even compared to most other shikai.

Hmmm...yes...we shall blame Byakuya for Rukia having a teeny sword...that works for me.

Not Hanatarou's! His turns into a scalpel. XD

But remember that Ichigo got made fun of because his zanpakuto is so big. :)

Ok, I forgot Hanatarou's...

IIRC, Ichigo got made fun of because it looked like just a bigger version of what he already had.

*goes off to ponder the unfairness of Ichigo having Bankai while Rukia doesn't*

Yes. I feel that far surpasses "my sword gets really gid" on the cool scale. But she's a more peaceful sort...I'm sure it's far more useful to her than a giant sword would be.

I dunno...I read some scanslations to about vol 24-25 last year, and the way they were talking about the sword, it had always been that way. IIRC, its chief attribute was that it was the prettiest one ever...

Rukia's zanpakuto *does* do nifty things, though. Spoilers upon request.
