Zanpakuto Name: Umi no Tenshi-Tachi, their spirit names are Umi and Shio.

Zanpakuto Description: In it's sealed form Umi no Tenshi takes the form of a double edged Japanese short sword with a deep purple Ito. Instead of a Menuki or Kashira on the end, Umi no Tenshi instead has a small iron ring at the end of it's Tsuka. This ring is actually the end of a kunai knife with a gold wing pattern carved into either end of the blade, making Umi no Tenshi a double bladed Zanpakuto

Shikai Command: "Sink to the bottom of the sea."

Shikai Name: Umi no Tenshi-Tachi (Angels of the Sea)

Shikai Description: Umi no Tenshi-Tachi, in its Shikai form takes, the shape of two very large Anchors tethered to Satoshi's waist by heavy chains made up of his own reishi, these chains have the ability to mend themselves or add more links as needed in combat, if Satoshi focuses his power into them. The anchors are not similar looking at all, being different sizes, colors and shapes, and each one has a unique ability to help each other in combat. 
-The younger sister, Shio, takes the form of a silver anchor whose length makes it about as tall as Satoshi's shoulders when stood upright. The entirety of her body is silver with some white accents along her edges except for her stock which is simply a heavy block of wood. Her shackle is much larger than Umi's and doesn't move around at all, making her easier to hold. She tends to have a more blade like appearance compared to her older sister, having much thinner edges on her Arms, Throat and Bill, making her more useful as a blade in combat. 
-The older sister, Umi, takes the form of a heavy black anchor with silver accents and is significantly larger than her younger sister, standing even taller than Satoshi when stood up. like her sister, her shackle is not mobile making it easy to hold her. However unlike her sister, Umi's shackle is small and she has no stock, clearly making her designed for two handed combat. Her arms are much wider then Umi's though they are duller. Umi no Tenshi is a water type Zanpakuto and is currently known known as the strongest Water type Zanpakuto on record. Their true powers do not lie in their shear weight and the force of their attack power. 
-Umi is the power of the Sea and has the ability to absorb Satoshi's Reiatsu and transform his power into water, she then let's that water flow from a grate where her stock would be and can quickly create a sea and flood the area. Shio is the power of the Tides and acts as a force of gravity to manipulate and control the water created by her sister. She can make tidal waves, rain and even some impossible feats such as creating spheres of water to float in midair. The danger of Umi no Tenshi-Tachi isn't just Umi's ability to drown the opponent, but also Shio's ability to control the water made by Umi. Shio's ability is limited to only being able to control the water imbued with Satoshi's Reiatsu by Umi, however, any water imbued with Satoshi's Reiatsu can be manipulated by Shio even if it's absorbed into the enemies clothing. This gives her the ability to do anything from slowing an opponent to completely controlling them depending on how drenched they are. Because of this ability, it is unwise to fight Satoshi in any area with large bodies of water. He is typically banned from mixing his water in any ocean or lake, however he can be given clearance if not doing so would cost the success of his mission or his life.
-Despite their weight, It has been noted that Satoshi can wield either or both of his Zanpakuto in combat. The shear weight of these two Zanpakuto in their Shikai form is astounding and it's not known if either their weight does not affect Satoshi, or if he's simply strong enough to wield them.

Bankai Name: Tsuki no Shio Tenshi-Tachi (Angels of the Lunar Tides)

Bankai Description: Upon first glance it would appear that Tsuki no Shio Tenshi-Tachi turns from two weapons to one, this is in fact not true. When transforming from Shikai to Bankai Satoshi mounts Umi on his back and binds her there with the chains from Shio.
-The first thing to change when activating Bankai is Satoshi's clothing. His Kosode disappears completely as do his sandals and sash. However his Hakama and Haori remain almost exactly the same, the only difference being that the hems of both now have a pale blue wave like pattern around them. Pieces of armor suddenly appear and cover his neck, chin, chest, shoulders, hands and arms, is also seems to outline his spine all the way down to his waist where it forms a belt. The armor is well fit to Satoshi and with his oversized Haori now beneath it he appears much slimmer. The armor is also outfitted with a helmet, though Satoshi doesn't wear it, instead choosing to have it hand from a cord on his belt.
-Umi also seems to disappear completely and in her place are two very large wings, looking closer one would notice that instead of feathers the wings are made up of small curved blades. Umi has almost the same powers as before the only difference being that she is powerful enough now to create water on her own, meaning that a seemingly endless supply of water now flows from in between each feather creating a beautifully surreal waterfall flowing from Satoshi's back. Since she is now made of blades, Umi can be used quite well, but since she is bound to Satoshi's body she is mostly used for defense or close range combat.
- Shio also goes through a significant change in shape, though her powers are exactly the same. Instead of taking the form of an anchor she now takes the form of an overlong lance with a flag bound to her just below the blade with the emblem of division 8 imbued upon it. Her new lightweight form makes her easier to wield and since the water will always follow the tip of the spear head this makes her an even more formidable weapon since now Satoshi can wield her and compose attacks with much greater speed.


(Speaking statistically, in bankai his defense and speed stats switch.)
