Zangetsu

Zangetsu (“Slaying Moon”) is the iconic Zanpakuto of Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. In Anime Fighting Simulator Endless, it serves as an excellent mid-to-late game weapon that bridges the gap between standard katanas and mythical blades.

It appears in its Shikai form (the large cleaver) by default, but can evolve into Bankai (Tensa Zangetsu) via specific upgrades or skins.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Is Zangetsu good for PvP?

The Shikai version is too slow for high-level PvP, but the Bankai version is top-tier due to its speed buff, which mimics the anime’s “Flash Step” speed.

Does it boost Flash Step?

Equipping the Bankai version slightly reduces the cooldown of your Flash Step dash, making you more mobile.

Can I get Dual Zangetsu?

The “True Shikai” (Dual Blades) version is a separate Mythical drop from the Yhwach raid boss and is not the same item as the standard Zangetsu.
