Great question. In the original Bleach anime and manga, Bankai Duality isn't a literal term, but some characters do have Bankai with multiple forms, phases, or dual functionality — and that’s what Type Soul is borrowing from.
Here are some notable characters whose Bankai in Bleach show this kind of "duality":
---
🔥 1. Yamamoto Genryūsai – Zanka no Tachi
Type of Duality: Multi-phase Bankai with four directional techniques:
Zanka no Tachi, East: Condensed flames.
West: 15,000,000°C heat armor.
South: Summons charred corpses of those killed.
North: Massive slash of pure flame.
🧠 Duality: He uses different forms depending on the situation.

❄️2. Hitsugaya Tōshirō – Daiguren Hyōrinmaru
Type of Duality: As he matures, his Bankai changes.
Has a fully matured form that drastically alters his power.
Freezing abilities can adapt to multiple conditions.
🧠 Duality: Young vs. Mature Bankai forms and defensive vs. offensive use.

🌸 3. Byakuya Kuchiki – Senbonzakura Kageyoshi
Type of Duality:
Has different Bankai techniques, such as:
Senkei: Creates a ring of floating swords for melee.
Gōkei: Massive area attack.
Shūkei: Hakuteiken: Focuses all power into one sword.
🧠 Duality: Switches between forms for close combat or wide-range destruction.

🐍 4. Ichimaru Gin – Kamishini no Yari
Type of Duality:
Normal form: High-speed stabbing and range.

🦋 5. Ichigo Kurosaki – Tensa Zangetsu
Type of Duality:
Late in the manga, his true Bankai fuses the powers of both of his swords (his Shinigami and Quincy sides).
His Bankai changes appearance and abilities as his soul evolves.
🧠 Duality: Dual spiritual heritage, dual swords, fused into one.

If you tell me which Bankai you saw with "duality" in Type Soul, I can match it exactly to its Bleach origin.
