#and since the zanpakuto is meant to be an extension of the wielders soul what does that say about Mayuri??

Keep thinking about Trans-coded Mayuri.

Mayuri is a woman's name, it means Peahen (a female peacock) but his design mimics that of a male peacocks plumage, blue, bold, flashy etc. It gives the impression of him being AFAB and switching to masculine presentation.

Mayuri is also quite short for a man (5'8") but that would be tall/average for someone assigned female at birth.

And he has the ability to self modify on a whim, if Mayuri was AFAB and wanted to adjust his form/voice/etc, he'd be able to with ease.

So in conclusion:

#bleach #kurotsuchi mayuri #I want all of his lore!! #hes got all this trans-coded stuff #hes also dark skinned and the name is a hindu name. which implies to me that he's indian. #his bankai is also based off of buddhist mythology!! #it's named after a benevolent spirit that is supposed to guide dead children through the afterlife!! #its why it looks somewhat divine with a halo etc!! but hes fucked with it so much that its corrupted and monsterous instead!!!!!! #and since the zanpakuto is meant to be an extension of the wielders soul what does that say about Mayuri?? #once a kind and benevolent person who voluntarily mutilated his own soul perhaps??? #sorry i love him sm #his zanpakuto being something as pure and innocent as a baby and not only that a divine spirit baby of buddhist mythology.. #and HE is the one who has that?? and has mutilated it (along with his soul) to the point that it is unrecognisable and evil? #he's too compelling.
