i love zangetsu for the reasons strider stated above, i couldnt care who weilds it, whether it was ichigo or that damn ganju. also kiras sword has a mojor drawback (it was only his shikai yea?) and that is if the oppenent can fight without having to touch his sword. like byakuya and ichigos shikais and bankais allow them to bypass the sword (ichigos bankai depends on the speed and skill of his oppenent). otherwise for lesser people kiras sword will do fine
