To obtain it, it is necessary to force the spirit of the Zanpakutō to materialize in reality and confront it. If the Shinigami wins the fight, his Zanpakutō grants him access to his hidden powers through his real name.

Achieving Bankai is rare and even once obtained, it takes another ten years and a minimum of training to perfect its mastery. The potency of a Bankaifrom a Zanpakutō varies from one to the other and from the Special, but can be five to ten times higher than that of the Shikai Celle. Only the most powerful Shinigami can use it, it is the ultimate technique in Zanjutsu.
