speedblitz??????? you ARE talking about rukia here. and if the fight against the puppet akatsuki isnt a measure of her power, id say that chances are rukia wud lose. hers isnt the most powerful ice type bankai in the world. her reitsu isnt so strong and her kidou wudnt work on sakura who is physically strong enough to bust a crater in the ground with a single punch.
She was able to kill an Espada, and Rukia is very fast.
Rukia hasn't learned Bankai yet she'll still win.
Rukia's zanpakutÅ. It goes unnamed until after the Soul Society arc in the manga, since she initially gave her shinigami powers to Ichigo. Its shikai command is "dance"
In its shikai, Sode no Shirayuki is regarded as one of the most beautiful zanpakutÅ in Soul Society It is completely white, including the hilt, crossguard, and blade. The tsuba turns to a circle and a white ribbon forms from the pommel. Sode no Shirayuki has control over ice, much like TÅshirÅ Hitsugaya's HyÅrinmaru, but uses it in a different manner. Like Kaname TÅsen's Suzumushi and Kisuke Urahara's Benihime, Sode no Shirayuki possesses more than one ability.
Sode no Shirayuki's abilities are labeled as "dances" by Rukia. With the command "first dance, white moon, Rukia can create a circle of influence around her intended target and freeze everything within the circle from the ground upwards until it reaches the sky. The command "next dance, white ripple" fires a massive wave of ice from Sode no Shirayuki's blade. Finally, the command "third dance, white sword" allows Rukia to reforge her zanpakutÅ with ice particles if it is broken, piercing through objects in its path
im well aware of rukia's powerset. and talking about potential bankais is useles, its POTENTIAL power just like sakura WILL "potentially" surpass tsunade. rukia is strong, but even tosen cut off grimjaw's arm.
the akatsuki in question conquered a country of shinobi with his puppets. not to mention yondaime kazekage's iron sand ability and poison.
