odd things I ponder...

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...

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.

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

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

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...
