Mirokumaru
CharacterMirokumaru is the Zanpakuto carried by Senna, the Soul Reaper introduced in the film Bleach: Memories of Nobody. Its released form conjures whirlwinds, and the blade itself has an odd history of being lost in the Dangai a century earlier.
Appearance
At rest Mirokumaru looks like a plain katana, set apart by a red hilt and a square guard. Once released it reshapes into a khakkhara staff capped with a sharp point.
Abilities
Senna calls the blade out with the command Call forth the Twilight. In Shikai its ringed head can spin up and steer tornadoes, and by whipping the staff swiftly from one angle to another Senna is able to sweep away an entire crowd of foes at once, as she does against the Blanks. Mirokumaru has no known Bankai.
History
According to Rukia Kuchiki's research, Mirokumaru disappeared into the Dangai roughly a hundred years before the film's events, when its wielder at the time was drawn into the Valley of Screams. It resurfaces in the hands of Senna, who proves to be the Shinenju, and she unleashes its whirlwind to wipe out the hostile Blanks that Ichigo and Rukia stumble upon in the Human World.
