- "We fight together. That's what gives us power. A Shinigami and a Zanpakutō spirit combine to make one. We are only able to display our true power when our souls are in harmony with one another. Your foolish pride caused you to abandon the one you need right now. Alone, you cannot defeat us."
- ― Senbonzakura (Bleach)
- "A Meister and a weapon are like an electric guitar and an amp. The sound (soul wavelength) that comes from an electric guitar (Meister) by itself is rather faint...But when you connect an amp (Weapon) to it, the soul wavelength is amplified, giving it a lot of power."

Anime/Manga[]
The Zanpakuto's (Bleach) ability to awaken their 'Shikai' and 'Bankai' depends mostly on their spiritual harmony with their wielders...
...Ichigo and Zangetsu having achieved complete harmony of their spiritual bond and connection to each other, was able to unleash absolute power in their Bankai Tensa Zangetsu, surpassing the Soul King enhanced Yhwach...
...Out of all the Shinigami Captain, Byakuya Kuchiki had an abnormally strong and close spiritual bond with his Senbonzakura, allowing his Zanpakuto to voluntarily activate its own Shikai and Bankai of its own will....

...Toshiro Hitsugaya had an especially close spiritual connection with his Zanpakuto Hyorinmaru, having managed to awaken its Bankai at a very young age compared to other Shinigami Captains...
...after eighteen months of refining his mastery of Bankai, Toshiro and Hyorinmaru had realized their true power to the point their combined spiritual powers could defeat Gerard Valkyrie....
...Having been blinded by his obsession with battles which he let go after Unohana's death, Kenpachi Zaraki was able to finally spiritually connect with his Zanpakuto Nozarashi to awaken his Shikai...
