Zanpakutou names

[thSannin]

first of all, i want to say that i'm not an expert of bleach (i only saw until ep 30, for now) so i'm never sure that what i think is correct 

but i saw that all Zanpakutous have a name, and i was wondering if ours will have names too.
if so, will we be able to name them for free, or will it be like naming our weapon in sl (at the cost of donation points).
OR maybe we need to achieve something in the game... i remember ichigo couldn't hear his Zanpakutou's name until a certain moment...

if i have to find out on my own, tell me, it's ok

Not from the start, but you can choose names later on.

I am yet to program that.

[thSannin]

perfect! 

just like in the anime!
it looks like it takes the shinigamis some time to learn the name of the Zanpakutous

[Taumaster]

What exactly is a Zanpakutou?
I know that it's a sword weapon that shinigamis use...but that's all I know

it's shinigami's only wapon
a katana/sword, and it can change form, depending on the shinigami

[Taumaster]

can a normal human use this sword?

[Neji]

a normal human cannot see it.

[Taumaster]

So it's like an invisible sword. It can only be seen by special humans and other shinigami?

[thSannin]

yeah, only those. and a normal human probably wouldn't be able to use it's power, because of his lack of spiritual power (i think)

[Taumaster]

Ah ok. Even though i didn't understand that 2nd part at all 

[Neji]

You will have Reiatsu here, spiritual power, which is somewhat your life force or an extension of it.

[Taumaster]

So Shinigami have lots of Reiatsu, and humans have little of it?

[thSannin]

So Shinigami have lots of Reiatsu, and humans have little of it?

usually. but some humans have a lot too.
don't ask me why O.o'

[Taumaster]

Haha.  So Shinigami are like ghosts and can't be seen by most humans, but some humans with  a lot of Reiatsu are able to see them.

[Dante]

Haha.  So Shinigami are like ghosts and can't be seen by most humans, but some humans with  a lot of Reiatsu are able to see them.

well. and they are in charge of releasing the bonded humans ghost with some kinda seal of their swords (or katanas) but, can we choose what we want? and can we do that too? ( i mean send bonded human ghost to the "other world" [ i dont remember the name])
