Gallery[]
Zanpakutō (Bleach) each have unique powers and personalities born from their wielders' psyche, and can only be wielded by their respetive owners.
Bell Cranel (DanMachi) wields the Hestia Knife, an empathic weapon with life, that continually grows more powerful as its wielder gets stronger.
Jack's Sword (Samurai Jack) was forged by the gods out of the pure goodness and righteousness of Jack's father, and therefore will not allow itself to be wielded by evil, nor allow itself to hurt one pure of heart.
Buddha (Record of Ragnarok) wields the Six Realms Staff, an oversized praying wheel in the form of a staff, which is capable of changing its own shape to better suit Buddha's emotions.
Ginta Toramizu (Marchen Awakens Romance) is the only one who can wield Babbo, whose human soul is compatible with his spirit.
