Here’s a guide on how to draw Ichigo TYBW look with two Zanpakuto Zangetsu in 23 steps. This version of Ichigo comes from the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, and the design is moderately complex because of the layered robes and the size of both swords. With careful construction, the drawing stays manageable, especially if you focus on the pose first before going into detail.
Breaking Down Ichigo’s TYBW Look
- Hair: short, spiky, and uneven around the edges.
- Face: sharp jawline with a straightforward expression.
- Clothing: Shinigami robes with a modified TYBW design, wide sleeves, and flowing hakama pants.
- Belt: tied sash at the waist.
- Weapons: two Zanpakuto. The larger blade is broad with a long edge, while the smaller blade is straighter and shorter.
- Stance: balanced, feet apart, arms extended outward holding both swords at an angle.
If you want to build a complete Bleach drawing set, adding Soi Fon, Rukia Kuchiki, Nelliel or Ichigo’s look after Dangai training would fit well in your collection.

Since this guide focuses on his TYBW appearance, pay close attention to the flow of the robes and the proportion of both swords. Keeping the larger sword longer and broader than the smaller one makes the design accurate. The hakama folds should be visible but not overcrowded with lines. It’s also important to keep his arms extended evenly so that the stance stays symmetrical. If the sword angles look off, recheck the arm lengths and adjust before finalizing the lines.
To summarize, if you want a clean approach on how to draw Ichigo TYBW with two Zanpakuto, start with the body stance, refine the robes, balance the swords on each side. By the last step, the proportions of his stance and weapons should give you a strong result.
One thing I always find interesting about a subject like this is how differently artists interpret the same pose. Two people following the same steps for how to draw Ichigo with Dual Zangetsu Blades can end up with results that feel totally distinct, whether it’s the weight of the blades, the intensity in his expression, or the flow of his coat.
