What kind of person is Renji Abarai?

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Renji Abarai is a manly Soul Reaper with long red hair tied on his head. He has tattoos on his face and upper body, and gets angry when people make fun of his tattoos. During the battle with Buzz-B, he seemed happy when Buzz-B complimented his tattoo. Renji is from Rukongai in Soul Society and from Inuzuri, which is the least safe place. His personality is a little rough, partly because the place where he grew up was not safe. However, he shared his life with the orphans and has the personality of a dependable older brother. I am a childhood friend of Rukia Kuchiki and we also lived together in Inuzuri. Their lives are harsh, and Renji decides to escape from his harsh life by becoming a Soul Reaper with Rukia.

(Quote : BLEACH anime,Renji and Rukia's childhood)

In the Deputy Soul Reaper Arc, Renji blocks Ichigo's path as if justifying his own inability to do anything about Ichigo's actions to help Rukia. However, he loses the battle with Ichigo, and, reflecting on his actions, Renji challenges his superior, Byakuya Kuchiki, to a duel in order to save Rukia. In the end, Renji lost, but his bond with Rukia was rebuilt from there.

When Rukia was adopted by the aristocratic Byakuya Kuchiki family, Renji felt that he was of a different status and distanced himself from Rukia so as not to interfere with Rukia's future bright life. Because of that small misunderstanding, Renji was ashamed of himself for not being able to act immediately when Rukia's execution was decided. Renji is grateful to Ichigo for creating the opportunity to bring Renji and Rukia closer together again, and has become the person who always comes to Ichigo's side when he is in a pinch.

Renji is the vice-captain of the 6th Division, and his superior is the division leader, Byakuya Kuchiki. Renji once turned his blade on Byakuya Kuchiki, but Byakuya was also ashamed of himself for not trying to save Rukia, and Renji, who made him realize this, became a trusted subordinate and their relationship became even better. I can see it. Renji eventually married Rukia and had a daughter named Ichika.

Renji seemed like an underdog at first, but as viewers gradually realized that he was a soul reaper who cared for his friends, his ratings rose.

About Renji Abarai Zanpakutou

(Quote : BLEACH anime, Renji's Zanpakutou, Zabimaru appearance)

The appearance of Zabimaru, Renji's Zanpakutou. Normally Zanpakutou is one person, but Zabimaru is two pairs of Zanpakutou. Zabimaru seems to be based on the chimera from Greek mythology, which has the body of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake. Zabimaru has the body of a lion and the tail of a snake, so it doesn't seem to have any goat elements and lion elements. The setting seems to be Baboon and the snake monster.

Shikai： Zabimaru (蛇尾丸)

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Renji Abarai's name Zanpakutou is Zabimaru, which is written in kanji as "蛇尾丸". The meaning is "蛇尾(Zabi)" = the tail is a snake. ”丸(maru)” = means circle, and is an auspicious kanji that is often added to the name of a sword. For example, Toshiro Hitsugaya's Hyourinmaru(氷輪丸) etc. Trigger Command is ”Roar (Hoero 吠えろ)”

It has the shape of a wide single-edged sword, but it has countless short blades connected by wire-like parts. This Zanpakutou can expand and contract at will, and is effective against distant enemies, using it like a whip to attack. However, due to its length, in the story it has to expand and contract three times before returning to its original state, and Ichigo exploits this weakness and Renji loses.

Fake Bankai!?: Hihioh Zabimaru(狒狒王蛇尾丸)

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Bankai was created by Renji because he wanted to help Rukia after fighting Ichigo. Hihioh means king of baboons, but he looks like a snake. When this Bankai is activated, the blade becomes larger and longer than the Shikai, and a face like a snake's skull appears at the tip. Unlike Shikai, which is connected by wires, this Bankai is connected by Renji's own Reiatsu. This solves the weakness of Shikai where it expands and contracts three times and then returns to its original state.

This Bankai can not only slash the opponent, but also engage in tricky combat such as strangling and restraining the opponent, or biting the opponent with the part of the snake's skull. They are connected by Renji's reiatsu, so even if they fall apart, they can be put back together again.

Zabimaru's strength lies in Renji's fighting sense, so it is said that no Soul Reaper other than Renji can master it.

Why don't both baboon and snake appear in Bankai?

The mystery will be revealed in The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc.

True Bankai!! : So-Oh Zabimaru (双王蛇尾丸)

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Renji's true Bankai, introduced in The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc. His name is So-oh, which means two kings (snake and baboon). Unlike the previous Bankai, this Bankai has a snake Zanpakutou called Orochi on the right hand and a baboon arm called Hihioh on the left hand. Bankai's Hihioh Zabimaru is a temporary Bankai that appeared because Zanpakutou did not approve of Renji who tried to become stronger for Rukia, and So-oh Zabimaru is overwhelmingly stronger than Hihioh Zabimaru.

However, Renji, who has been fighting in Hihioh Zabimaru so far, had a fighting style that mainly focused on long-range attacks, but he had to change his fighting style to a close-range attack, and there were times when he had a hard time mastering it.

Zabimaru's Technique：Zaga Teppo (蛇牙鉄砲)

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

So-oh Zabimaru's special technique used in the battle with Mask De Masculine. By stabbing the Orochi part of Renji's right hand into the opponent, an Orochi face appears and the effect of biting the opponent to death occurs.

The Mask De Masculine that received the technique turned into ashes and scattered.

The real Zabimaru's battle scenes were also quite powerful and cool.

Also a must-see is The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, featuring Renji's true Bankai.

What is Renji Abarai Battle Record?

(Quote : BLEACH anime)

Renji Abarai's Battle Record is 4 win, 6 lose. Renji is another main character who grows stronger with each loss.

Renji can also use Kido, and in the early stages he used it to check on the enemy. He was active a lot, such as boarding the Hueco Mundo to help Ichigo and going to Karakura Town.

In The Thousand-Year Blood War Arc, he was once defeated by Quincy, but after undergoing the harsh training of Squad 0, he fought for revenge and succeeded in defeating Mask De Masculine.
