But ever since Ren used Heavenly Sin to seize the Captain-Commander's Zanka no Tachi, he had considered discarding and Devouring Gonryōmaru. Chojiro Sasakibe's Gonryōmaru was certainly good, especially its Bankai, which could unleash powerful thunder. But compared to the Captain-Commander's Zanka no Tachi, it was still far inferior.
