I Had A Dream About Hiyori's Bankai.
This is going to be an odd topic, but I had a dream last night about Bleach I wanted to share. As Bleach fans, I'm sure we've all had them at some point, some coherent and some that make absolutely know sense. A common one I'll bet is dreaming about a certain character's unrevealed Bankai. Usually it's for a noteworthy character like Aizen, or Ukitake or Isshin that everyone has been dying to know about, but for me it was Hiyori of all people. Thought I might share it, since as Bleach fans you might find it at least mildly interesting to know what it did.
In it, Hiyori and all the Vizards are in the middle of a battle. I'm guessing it's against Gerard, but the scenery kind of looked a little like Fake Karakura Town mixed with the Warwehlt. Hiyori then decides to finally use her Bankai. When she says "Bankai", all of the Vizards are surprised to hear this. They all kind of smile, including Shinji, in a moment where they all seem proud of her and and are like "It's about time", so I guess this means Hiyori had not achieved her Bankai until now and this will be their first time seeing it.
Her Bankai was not what you would expect though. It was a Bankai that affects the surrounding environment. Some liquid starts to drip from the blade and some kind of poison or acid, or maybe both, fills the area. It was at least two different substances, as there were two different colors present. One was a light blueish almost clear color and the other was a green color.
The Bankai doesn't seem to have much relation to her Shikai, as is usually the case with a Shinigami's Bankai. Her Zanpakuto is called Kubikiri Orochi, which means Beheading Serpent, so maybe it relates to the snake aspect somehow, the poison being venom and the acid being stomach acid.
It may also somehow tie into her battle with Gin where she almost died. Gin had a snake theme, and Kamishini no Yari also had a poison ability, so maybe the experience had such a deep impact on her psyche that it influenced what kind of Bankai she would manifest. I guess the acid part kind of fits with Hiyori's personality too, which is very caustic.
I wonder what would happen if she were to fight Askin and how her Bankai's abilities would interact with his Deathdealing? Askin is the poison master, but neither neither aspect of Hiyori's Bankai would technically count as poison. Snakes have venom, not poison, and acid isn't a poison either. Would the acid be strong enough to melt Gerard, or at least create a hole in his body leading to where his core is so someone can destroy it?
