Bleach 235

[Logrus]

Maybe he i just gathering intel on the enemy you never know. But the fact that ichigo still has his shikai zangetsu and abarai manged to call out zabimaru i think just that Muramasa manged to somehow supress their zanpaktu to some corner of their souls and then copy them and makeing them materialze in the real world ( since they look diffrent then what they really look like)

I think Ichigo's is still in shikai just because it's the kind that never shuts off.

Although, it would have been totally sweet to see Ichigo's fatass katana from the beginning of the series again.
