7	!! Tropes the Zanpakuto Share in Common
8
9	* [[spoiler: BrainwashedAndCrazy]]: During the Reapers and Heralds arc
10	** [[spoiler: With the exception of [[UndyingLoyalty Tensa Zangetsu]], Jigokunoyokubo, and Manakama because the latter two are not introduced until after the arc is over. [[KilledOffForReal Hozukimaru, Kazeshini, Tenken and a few other fail to appear on account of their owners being dead by then.]]]]
11	* EmpathicWeapon: duh
12
13	!! [[spoiler: Eien Tamashi]]
14	Lelouch's Zanpakuto spirit. She wears a red Zero outfit and has red hair. She is described as having CC's physique and voice, Shirley's eye color and Kallen's hair color. [[http://zanpakutoofzero.tumblr.com/ As seen here.]]
15
16	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: [[spoiler: Her Bankai]] lets her summon a giant creature from out of the ground or whatever she happens to be standing on. Over land it's a giant nightmarish fiend. Over water it's a Leviathan. Who knows what it might do out of lava or in the air.
17	** In the Air, it's Zuke; at least when Lelouch uses the same trick.
18	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Her skill-set includes MindRape and summoning {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, she is not that bad if you get past her snark.
19	* BrainBleach: Reaches for it when she finds out Lelouch would not be uncomfortable with the idea of Nunnally [[BrotherSisterIncest carrying his babies]] and since she’s a part of him, part of his mind starts playing images of such a fantasy and she is considerably [[{{Squick}} squicked]] out by it and tells him that they will [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never bring up the topic again]].
20	* DeadpanSnarker
21	* [[spoiler: EvilGenius: Of Muramasa's FiveManBand.]]
22	** [[spoiler: Subverted. [[FakeDefector She's only acting the part on Lelouch's behalf]]]].
23	* {{Flanderization}}: Originally had one or two comments where she [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall leaned on the fourth wall]], now its become a trait of hers and she sometimes [[BreakingTheFourthWall blatantly breaks it]].
24	* MediumAwareness: Whether it's [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall indirectly winking at the readers]] or [[BreakingTheFourthWall blatantantly commenting on the narration itself]]. [[spoiler: Eien Tamashi]] seems to understand the medium she is in to a degree.
25	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Lelouch notices how faint her reiatsu is and when she doesn’t [[LittleMissSnarker comment]] on something he said, he realizes there’s a problem.
26	* ScrewYourself: Averted. She does not see this as an option between her and Lelouch. [[spoiler:Brought up again in Chapter 169, instead of a slap like before she attacks his inner world.]]
27	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To CC.
28	** She lampshades this in chapter 104
29	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives it to [[spoiler: Muramasa]]
30	* VitriolicBestBuds: Her and Lelouch
31	* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: See BrainBleach above.
32
33	!! Zangetsu

37	** [[spoiler: Confirmed as of ch 101 see below]]
38	%%* MightyGlacier
39	* [[spoiler: StealthMentor: His whole betrayal of Ichigo in the Reapers and Heralds arc was to get him to cease being afraid of his hollow powers]].
40
41	!! [[spoiler: Tensa Zangetsu]]
42	[[spoiler:Ichigo Kurosaki's alternate Zanpakuto spirit, more specifically, his Bankai.]]
43
44	* ContinuityNod: Perhaps in a way that makes his manifestation all the more understandable. The author has made distinction [[spoiler: between Zangetsu and T. Zangetsu and only T. Zangetsu is the one with the [[HoYay man-crush]] on his master and strutting around the UndyingLoyalty]].
45	%%* FragileSpeedster: As the original Zangetsu is [[MightyGlacier power based]], Tensa is speed based.
46	* UndyingLoyalty: To Ichigo. His greatest desire? The same as his master, Protection.
47

49	Yolanda Bermuta's Zanpakuto spirit. Has orange braided hair and green eyes. Wears a brown beret and a brown shoulderless battle dress with a breast guard over it [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} despite not really needing one]]. She also wears thigh high black socks and blue rubber ankle-high boots.
50
51	* ACupAngst: See below
52	* BerserkButton: See above
53	* CloseCallHaircut: Subverted in that it was anything, ''but'' a close call.
54	* Expy: Something of one to [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Noel Vermillion]]; fashion sense, gun fu, a-cup angst. It all fits.

80
81	* BarehandedBladeBlock: Except considering who he expies, he manages to do it with just his fore and middle finger.
82	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Considering the below trope and that [[spoiler: Kenpachi]] is his master. This trope is in effect regardless of who won [[spoiler: It's not Kenpachi]]. [[spoiler: At least until their rematch]].
83	* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:[[Creator/ChuckNorris Chuck]] [[MemeticBadass Freakin]] [[Creator/ChuckNorris Norris]]]]
84	* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: Inside Fumetsu Seishin no Senso's beard isn't a chin just another fist]].

126	* {{Expy}}: Did he just [[BreakingTheFourthWall break the fourth wall]] and [[SymbolSwearing symbol swear]]? Plus the latex suit and the BlankWhiteEyes...did the author just create a PaletteSwap of ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}?
127	** It’s possibly intentional given that the actual Deadpool starts to say as much in the author’s notes only for the author to bribe him with a chimichanga
128	* EyepatchOfPower
129	* HavingABlast: His specialty.
130	* MadBomber: He seems to be very mentally unstable. Understandable if you consider who he [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} might be based off of]]

142	** [[spoiler: [[ViewerGenderConfusion that thing’s a chick?]]]]
143	* EyesAlwaysShut: Takes a little bit of FridgeBrilliance to realize, but we don’t see Minazuki's eyes in the anime. In the fic the author mentions specifically that they open. And [[OhCrap they’re]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]].
