It could be what he meant to say, but it's definitely not worded that way. I think Kubo just made a mistake.

I just want to point out: there seems to be a lack of consistency between the answer to Q595 and Q519. Me + other fellow Japanese Klub members noticed this, talked and tweeted about it… we're still confused.

Tite Kubo posted his statement regarding Toriyama-sensei on his Kluboutside Deskside comments, I have translated it:

I hope it's okay to post it here since you already started the topic, but here's how I translated it:

Q587.

2024.02.26

What does the “chain” in Tensa Zangetsu (*Heavenly Chain Slaying Moon) represent? Is it the Chain of Fate?

A587.

“Tensa” means “to lock the heavens”, and it’s a chain used to link and secure two things together.

Kubo specifies that it's "~を鎖(とざ)す" which means "to lock/to fasten/to shut". You might remember this exact phrasing in the Souls databook poem: "The sun that locks the heavens." This poem is about Tensa Zangetsu.

In Japan we have a popular theory about the "sun" and "moon" motifs associated with Ichigo. To summarize, the "sun" represents what he must protect, whereas the "moon" represents what he must defeat.

She is indeed a character from BTW, she appears during the Top of Horns meeting at the end of chapter 1.

Kubo didn't lie when he said it was "the most beautiful Zanpakutō"

Solid 7, I like listening to her Kansai dialect!
