Gin's Zanpakutou

Name: Shinsou (Divine Spear)

Manifestation: Unknown

Command: "Ikorose, Shinsou" (Shoot To Kill, Divine Spear")

Family: Unknown

Level: Shikai (according to the Manga)

Sealed Zanpaktou: A regular Wakizashi that sways in its sheath at his waist.

Shikai: Remains as a Wakizashi.

Shikai Ability: In its shikai, Shinsō's blade extends at high speed to impale Gin's opponents from a distance. The sword also carries tremendous force when extending, as seen when Gin pushes both Ichigo Kurosaki and the giant Jidanbō out from under the Seireitei gate, despite the latter being firmly braced under it. In addition, he can maintain the extension and swing the activated Shinsō in wide arcs, attacking multiple targets quickly and simultaneously.

While it hasn't been seen in the actual series, various Bleach console games have depicted Shinsō as having additional abilities. In Bleach: The Blade of Fate and Bleach DS 2nd: Kokui Hirameku Requiem, Gin fires Shinsō into the sky and swords similar to Shinsō's unreleased state rain all around the opponent. In Bleach: Blade Battlers Gin shoots Shinsō into the ground and the blade hits the opponent from underneath, whereas in Bleach: Heat the Soul 4, a wave of blades aim themselves at the opponent after Gin swings Shinsou in Shikai form.
