AS HE FUCKING SHOULD

Btw, in the Hell arc it seems he no longer carries Ashisogi Jizo. I really miss the iconic way he carried his zanpakuto. WHERE ARE YOU, AJ?!!

i'm far from an expert of japanese culture but i think it's definitely meant to be ironic, maybe even to communicate what a messed-up and demented (and perhaps even outright heretical) character mayuri is by having his zanpakutou and bankai be a corrupted and perverted version of such a benevolent deity. i would really love to know what kubo had in mind when designing mayuri's zanpakutou/bankai, and why he specifically picked jizo of all things - i do know that he initially intended for mayuri to have a much more conventional villain role, so maybe he just tried to come up with the most messed up thing he could to really underline mayuri's villainy

oh my god he would be the most toxic asshole ever, like he'd happily doxx anyone who pissed him off ("nemu, get me their home address") and straight up read their private information over the ingame voice chat. and no matter how many times he gets permanently banned, he just keeps coming back as if nothing happened

i feel like the music i like to listen to is a little too "soft" to fit mayuri 😂 the one song i can think about is marilyn manson's beautiful people, but that's probably more because mayuri's theme song is a marilyn manson song more than the song actually fitting him (and also years and years ago there was a gotei 13 AMV set to it that i really liked, so my brain just associates the song with bleach in general)
