Talk:List of Hollows in Bleach/Archive 1

State what each type of menos an arrancar was before transformed?

We already know almost all of them.. Grimmjow is a known adjuchas, and no Vasto Lordes have been made yet (that we have been shown at least) which means that Ulquiorra and Margera are also adjuchas. Yammy and Luppi could be very weak adjuchas (Grimmjow took down Luppi rather easily, and Ulquiorra was able to take down Yammy quickly also. Aaroniro stated that he was the only gillian among the espada). All the Arrancar that have been defeated were gillian rank, except for Grandfisher and the arrancars that took on Uryu (chapter 213, page 19). Iceringer and Demora havn't been discussed yet either, although they were most likely gillian also.

When did it say that no vastrodes have been made? And where does it say that Grimmjow is an adjucas? I don't really think that's been discussed at all. Cannibalist 01:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I think it was not Aizen who turn Grand Fisher into an arrankar. At the end of vol 3, it seems other arrankar do that.

There is no proof that Ulquiorra and Margera wasn't a vastolorde, instead of "None had been shown at least", it should be "None had been known at least". The "arrancar" that took on Uryu wasn't an arrancar, it's just a huge hollow.

how do you mean the hollow ishida fought wasn't arrancar? his mask was broken, that's as arrancarish as an arrancar can get. Twsl 23:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Merge? No.

The purpose for the existance of this article is seperate from that of Hollow (Bleach). This page is a fork, due to excessive length, from Characters in Bleach series (hence the name formulation). --tjstrf 15:33, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Whats with all the merging?

Not only is this page getting stupidley long, but its also messy and difficult to read. So what if some of the Espada are dead? They should still have their own pages since they have pretty big roles. They are no different to the lieutenants having individual pages (with even less info.)Jwilso72 13:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh well something to do with WP:FICT. The REAL argument is going down at Talk:List of Bleach characters.--Hanaichi 13:56, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Nell Tu's gender

Was there any indication that Nell was a female? I think I have missed it. Please elaborate. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 00:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the way that he speaks can go either way or something like that. Though, the brother thing proves that he's a guy (and the fact that pretty much no shonen author will ever make an androgynous character a female.) Nemu 00:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, if anyone can't find proof that shows that Nell is female I will change it back to the proper wording soon, just can't do it now.Tensa Zangetsu 19:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

It's on the 8th page of 246, where they used the term "兄妹" (both Ichigo and the hollows) multiple time (兄妹 【きょうだい(ik); けいまい】 (n) older brother and younger sister ). here's the raw: Ch. 246, P.8 Finestela 14:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

It was confirmed again in chapter 253 where Dordonii refered to her as a female--66.231.36.19 07:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of Nell once more, i think that its pretty much been confirmed that she will be a main character in the current arc, so hows about we make her own entry/page?--66.231.36.47 06:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Bleach7 also directly clarified it in their release. Nell gets an article once she actually does something, not now when we merely predict she'll do something. --tjstrf talk 07:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Why is the article about Nell below "Espada", when she's a former (aka Privaron) Espada? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.167.46.125 (talk) 14:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Sigh, here we go again :) While it is true that all Privaron Espada are former Espada, it isn't necessarily true that all former Espada are Privaron Espada. So your statement isn't correct. Privaron Espada have to have three digit number otherwise they aren't part of the Privaron Espada, it's as simple as that. Nell didn't know the three-digit-system at all, and above that Doldooni didn't recognize her. This could lead to the conclusion that she wasn't part of the whole pre-hougyokou espada generation. That's the reason why she's placed under the Espada. But I think it's debatable whether she really belongs there or not since she clearly doesn't belong to the current Espada anymore. The same could be said about Luppi but since he died while still being an Espada-member, I think it's justified to have him there. Nell at the other hand is still alive and isn't part of the Espada anymore.. I guess she actually belongs in the "Others" section or in a new "ex-Espada"-section or something. Just my opinion Twsl 15:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

My point exactly, Privaron Espada or not, she doesn't belong in the Espada section as she is currently not an Espada. Wikipedia is all messy. And why are people being so persistent about Cirucci being killed off by the Exequias when it wasn't shown at all, for all we know they could have taken her with them for healing or somewhat. She could still prove to be a valuable asset to them even if Ishida made her powerless; also killing off fellow arrancar doesn't seem to go in their line of duty, ...when as far as I remember, Dordonii engaged them, and there were whole other circumstances. Just my opinion about something out of context here... "...here we go again?"

Unless Nell resumes her role as an Espada at some point, she shouldn't be listed under the Espada heading at all. Remember, fiction is in the eternal present tense. You go under that heading only if you are an active Espada at some point in the series timeline, and then you stay in the listing forever. Luppi dying doesn't change that he is a member, and similarly if Grimmjow were to leave the Espada he would still be listed under the heading, just with a (defected) after his name. --tjstrf talk 00:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Proper Names

In Dordonii's cover his name is actually stated as Dordonie, shou;dn't this change be made? —The preceding -Raf

There's no E in the name. Look closely... there has to be two I's. -- kangarugh22 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kangarugh22 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

How about Arronio Alulueri? the katakana for Arrunio spells 'A-roni-ro'.--Chemicalist 09:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Exequias

Why is the Exequias section under Former Espada? I highly doubt everyone one of them was part of the Espada. They seem more like a group of less powerful Arrancar that were put into a group as an assassination squad. Also, was it confirmed that Jovenzuelo is the actual name of the bull-head Exequias leader? I just assumed Dordonii was name-calling like he does with Ichigo (niño). Kangarugh22 13:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I forgot to mention this. If you look at the kanji used in Jovenzuelo (小僧共), its normal Japanese pronunciation would be "kozou domo." The word "kozou" means youngster while the "domo" makes the word plural. I find it hard to believe that this would be someone's name. I really think Dordonii was referring to the group of them, not addressing the leader personally. I may be wrong, though. Anyway, I'll add the kanji to the name in the article. Kangarugh22 19:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Pesshe

About him - he seems to be described here twice - both in 1) Known hollows and in 2.5) Others. Is it done on purpose?

Someone put him in Other Arrancar without noticing that he was already listed as a Known Hollow. Pesshe is not an Arrancar so I deleted the new entry yesterday. Kangarugh22 01:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Manga chapter 209

check the manga in chapter 209. if you can make out the silhouettes you can find out where each of the espada's hollow holes are b/c there's a seen where the arrancar is describing how the espada are ranked and there is an image of all the espada in shadows. (note: grimmjow is front and center, ulquiorra is behind him to the left)66.222.214.93 08:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

That image is no longer considered to be accurate. The big fat Arrancar we see when Ulquiorra makes his first report to Aizen is in the shadows as an Espada, but at the table meeting...he's gone. The silhouettes were done before the Espada had proper character designs so their holes shouldn't be taken as gospel - Szayel Aporro should have a hole in his chest but we've yet to see it.

Il Forte's name

I have just now noticed that Il Forte's name is Iiruforuto, which would probably be better written as Ilfort. That is unless the Spanish forte is pronounced like the English fort. If not, then the name should be changed to Il Fort or Ilfort. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 12:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

"forte" in Spanish is pronounced "fortay" so I'm not sure why that romanization was made up for him. Someone made it up and it stuck... for a loooong time. Who knows what his name really is supposed to be... Kangarugh22 22:11, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Adding HUGE SPOILERS before the chapters come out....

I really wish people wouldn't do that. I know I was the one to add Gantenbein before the chapter came out, but just a simple name isn't a spoiler. I just looked today and saw some spoiler about the poleface Espada looking like Shiba Kaien. I really would've like to see that for myself when the chapter came out tomorrow/Friday. Thanks. Kangarugh22 21:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. I'm not sure how you'd enforce this though: lack of spoiler tags is the basic problem that wikipedia's rules address. Simply asking that someone not post information at all, however, I don't think there is any rule covering.Plunge 18:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

There are spoiler warning tags for a reason. As WP:SPOILER says "Not all visitors will recognize the nature of Wikipedia, which strives first to inform, spoilers or not." Basically it is not Wikipedia's fault if you read a spoiler and you were warned in the second line of text in the article. As for asking that information not be stated, that seems to be related to this thing that we shouldn't do: "Deleting relevant, neutral and verifiable information about a narrative work from Wikipedia "because it's a spoiler" instead of properly applying spoiler templates." Anyway the spoiler tag is there, I just wish they had made them bigger and more noticeable (I've been spoiled myself). Gdo01 18:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Well the big thing here is that people were adding that Arronio was Kaien like 2 days before the chapter ever came out. We all know that Wikipedia has spoilers... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kangarugh22 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

Shonen Jump is released on Mondays, the first mention of the 9th espada was two days ago [1]. That would be Tuesday in the USA. Anything posted after Monday could technically be from a Japanese fan reading the raw. Gdo01 22:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's released on Mondays, but we get it early. This Shounen Jump issue with Bleach 262, Naruto 341, D. Gray-man 107, etc. is not being released in Japan until this coming Monday, the 12th. We get leaked pictures, many times poor-quality camera phone shots of of the key pages, sometimes up to a week before it's on shelves in Japan. Usually by the Thursday before release we get a proper scan of many of the manga out of Shounen Jump. All I'm proposing is that we don't allow major spoilers posted on Wikipedia until we at least get the full chapter scans and not cam-shot spoilers. I know this chapter would've been a lot more exciting for me if I hadn't been spoiled about Kaien.Kangarugh22 01:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I really fail to see any rationale for the rule you want other than "they spoiled Kaien for me." The only true concerns here are WP:V which is not violated since these are straight from the source. If the manga scans were fake or were fake scripts like the Chad's grandfather thing, then there is reason to hold back that information since it could be potentially fake. You, on the other hand, are saying we should hold back verifiable, real scans of the real Bleach manga. What does it matter that it is poor quality as long as it has verifiable facts that should not be held back just because someone was spoiled? Fact is fact, the release doesn't matter unless it is text that could be potentially incorrect or Kubo himself requesting that info not be released early. Gdo01 01:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The obvious solution is to not read the Wikipedia articles until you are sure you have the latest chapter. --tjstrf talk 07:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I've learned not to look at Bleach articles in the period between the RAW and M7's release for just this reason. –Gunslinger47 07:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Arnilo Arleri

It seems the intention might be Arnilo Arleri (アーロニーロ アルルエリ, Āronīro Arurueri).

Doing some Google searches, it appears that Arnilo and Arleri are names of some kind. Though, I'm getting more Italian matches than Spanish, for some reason. I don't know who found these names, but converting them into katakana does give us a nearly perfect match.

There is no problem with Arleri:

Arleri → Arulueri → Arurueri → アルルエリ

Arnilo is slightly troublesome:

Arnilo → Arniro → Āniro → アーニロ

I guess that the extra ro (ロ) was added in the middle to emphasize the otherwise minimal ar sound. –Gunslinger47 06:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Eh, there's no real way to prove that "Arnilo" was the intended name. It doesn't make sense to me personally given the extra ロ. The Splendiferous Gegiford 06:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Doing the same process backward, from katakana to Spanish, we get Āronīro → Arrñiro at best. –Gunslinger47 06:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

You're trying to force it to be those names. It's just not close enough. Kangarugh22 23:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

"Force" is too strong of a word for my intentions. I was looking, in good faith, for discussion and consensus as there are some who believe that "we" have decided upon Arnilo. I've clearly highlighted the problems with this above. –Gunslinger47 03:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but both seems wrong to me. Arleri would be Arureri in kana, not Arurueri (アルレリ and not アルルエリ). Arnilo lacks a Ro, as the other guys pointed. - Access Timeco 22:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, now that I think about it, Arleri would most naturally go to Āreri (アーレリ), wouldn't it? –Gunslinger47 04:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Or that, hehe, yep. Well, one of those, but I can't see as Arurueri. - Access Timeco 14:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

How about Arroniro Arlueri??? Looks good to me and it doesn't ignore the katakana romanization "rules." Kangarugh22 17:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Nocturne, from bleacforums, posted this link http://aaronel.com Aaronel deRoy is a photografer. I think Aaronel (and deRoy) could be a good romanization... since we'll have the official to AA probably next week, we can wait, but what about D-Roy becoming deRoy?

And about AA's lastname, Arlueri seems more right (or Alulueri, I remember someone saying it is a french word or something). - Access Timeco 19:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Tesla's Gender?

Well, Mr. Kubo has blessed us yet again with a gender-confused arrancar. I don't suppose anybody can confirm his/her gender?

I really can't see what is so confusing about him. He IS a man, doesn't matter how I look at him. And not even an effeminate man, maybe just a young (with a kind look) man. - Access Timeco 21:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

definately a dude IMO, he looks a litte queer but i have no doubt it's a guy. --Grimjaw 06:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

why is Arroniro Arleri considered an Arrancar?

Didn't he remove his mask like ichigo has done many times during the series and the Vizards. He also was aready a Shinigami mixed witha hollow but remains mostly dominate over his hollow similar to ichigo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.215.27.134 (talk) 03:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

Kaien is different in that he is a shinigami inhabiting the body of a hollow. Strictly he is still a hollow just that Kaien is the dominant personality in the hollow. Kaien is no longer a shinigami, he stated that his body was deteriorating so only the hollow made it back to Hueco Mundo. I won't say that he is definitely an arrancar but he is definitely not a vizard.Gdo01 03:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Untill it is actually confirmed in the story, that Arroniro is indeed what he said he is (Kaien/Parasitic-Hollow Hybrid), we should simply treat him like how Kubo showcased him: an Espada. Another issue I have with the current article is the wording ("he is" instead of "he claims"), as we have no way to know if he's telling the truth. --Finestela 22:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

kaien has wierd traits cuz he's a very piss poor arrancar. he's one of aizens first attempts, and he used a really strange method. bottom line is he's considered a half-assed arrancar not a vizard. in all honesty i'm pretty sure the mask he took off isn't even a hollow mask, more like a regular mask u would wear at halloween. none the less i must admit he seems more his own species then anything, given his unorthodox creation. unless it says he's something else we have no reason to suspect he isn't just a fucked up version of arrancar. --Grimjaw 06:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

does it really matter on how he got the powers. just because he didn't get it the same way ichigo got them doesn't mean that is how everyone got hollow powers, the other vizards didn't get it the same way because they alrady had were shinigami. and Arroniro not Consciously wating to gain hollow powers are also does't make a difference.

actually it DOES matter, look at the privaron espada they became arrancar by non-aizen assisted methods and were vastly inferior to the ones created by aizen. how he got his powers matters in this case because it makes him totally unlike a vizard, and yet totally unlike an arrancar as well...like i said, it pretty well makes him his own species. regardless he's part of aizens arrancar army, he was an attempt to make an arrancar; so unless they suddenly say he is not an arracar...he's a fucking arrancar lol, accept it. --Grimjaw 00:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

If it turns out that the info I've posted on Zaer-Apollo is true (his last name is Grantz & his # is 8), then I'd appreciate more respect in the future.

It doesn't matter whether or not your info is right. It is. I've seen the spoilers, too. The abilities of others to confirm it is what matters.

i see your point, but i'd rather not give out my sources (because then they wouldn't be "my" sources anymore lol) yet thats the only way i can confirm my info. the reason to assume i'm correct is within my accurate past information, i'll only act "arrogant" when my informatrion is deleted.

Here's the scan (from jojohot.com, a Chinese scanlation group of which I'm a member): Gin/Ulquiorra conversation.

The only thing I have left to object about adding this in the article would be... that you can't really tell if Gin is serious or not. He made this comment after telling Ulquiorra that they should be more friendly toward one another... --Finestela 20:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Arroniro Arleri a lier

When I read chapter 244 page 15 where we first see all of the Espada at once, I tried to determine their ranking in the group by looking at where they sat around the table. At the time we knew that Yammy was number 10 and Grimmjow was number 6. I thought that since Yammy was the farest on the right side of the table and Grimmjow was the closet on the right side, I determine that the right side was 10 through 6 and the left side was 5 to 1. But then Arroniro appeared and said he was number 9 and disproved my theory since in my theory he would have been number 5 since he was the farest on the left side. But now in chapter 264 Zaera-Polo Grantz saids he is number 8 which follows my theory since he was sitting in the middle of Yammy and Grimmjow and 8 is in the middle of 10 and 6. So am I crazy or could Arroniro be actually number 5 and not number 9? --Omimon 25 February 2007

There is no reason at this point to suspect that the seating order has significance. Even if your theory was solid, it doesn't matter, since we'd never mention it in the article. –Gunslinger47 17:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Arroniro Arleri

I was wondering if it was possible that he wears that mask to prevent people to see his true face. And then when he takes the mask off, he takes the form of a person that the person thinks of dearly.

Hello,I've seen an error in this section. The traslation of phoenix to spanish is Fénix, not Fenice. I've looked in the dictionary and the word Fenice in spanish means "Fenicio", (I don´t know the traslation to English but it is a man who belongs to a civilization of the Mediterrean sea). However, it is true that the word comes of the latin phoenix. I don't know, how they have written the word in Japan, so I am not going to change the word. (Mardolo on 25 February 2007 21:45)

If what Nemu mentioned is the Jump Festa episode, the pre-arrancar picture wasn't there either. Anyway, since the picture is accurate to what is shown in the manga, even if it wasn't actually in the manga, I believe it's alright for it to be there.--Chemicalist 03:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

iceringer showed up in chapter 25, him and d-roy are the first arrancar we ever see. even before we know what they are...as to whether or not lolly and menoly showed up before demora i have no idea. --Grimjaw 19:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Edorad Leones

im not good at wording it into his part but in B:HTS4(check out the website, he's under partner characters) his hair is half black and half blonde, instead of being half red and half black, they messed up isnt really a good way of saying it i think, but im not good with words so......thanks, lol Maigokunshu 07:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

It's most likely because of the fact that the 5 Gillian-class arrancar don't have any color pages, so the anime directors just guessed the color. It also happen to Ichimaru Gin, in which his eyes were red in the anime while a volume cover later revealed they were actually blue.

Oops, I forgot to say the talk page isn't for general discussion. But does anyone think it's worth taking note of in Edorad's part of the article?--Chemicalist 17:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

New names romanization

So...

• SuTa-Ku
• HaRiBeRu
• RiRiNeTo

I go with Lilinett (double T 'cause of the little tsu before To) and Halibell, but no idea to SuTa-Ku... I don't like Stark 'cause is so... english! Ok, Yammy too. Maybe Staaq? - Access Timeco 20:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Given the Arrancar's theme, wouldn't Stark's non-Japanese sound actually support that being the name? Best to just pick something likely and wait for a cover page, really. --tjstrf talk 21:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hariberu sounds a lot like Halle Berry to me... lol. I looked her up on the Japanese Wikipedia and they spell her name Haru Berii, though, which doesn't give the right sound.. whatever. Anyway!, I'd go with Halibell, Stark, and Lilinet. Two T's at the end of Lilinet doesn't really make a lot of sense since "tto" at the end of a Japanese word is usually for English words that end in T. Kangarugh22 21:33, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Newly named Espada need own pages

Basically, the header says it all. Whatever you want to call "Halibell" "Stark" or "Lilinet" they definitely need their own pages now. I do have somewhat of an issue with the way in which they appear to be "ranked" on this page, though, how does anyone know they are seeming lower than noitora but higher than grimmjaw? Lacking Lack 06:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

As-yet-unrankeds are given an order on the page based on their sequence of introduction. And for at least 2 of the 3 it's true that they are ranked higher than Grimmjow, because the only rank below Grimmjow's to not be revealed is 7. (Which I personally guess will be Noitora, but that's just a hunch.) --tjstrf talk 06:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

To the topic title, I'd disagree. There's very little known about them, hardly enough to warrant a page. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 06:53, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. They will need pages eventually, but not necessarily right now. Wait until they fight or at least reveal some level of detailed info so we can write an article on them.

By the way, if the rule is going to be all Espada get pages, can I go restore Luppi's? --tjstrf talk 06:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm still trying to catch up on parts of the series, but I'd say Luppi has more pageworthy material than these two right now. Hell, Nell probably does. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 06:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I've restored it. Could someone please upload a picture of Luppi's released form for the page? I don't have those volumes with me right now and the previous one was deleted for lack of use. I would appreciate it if the uploader also put it at a decent filename rather than the incredibly confusing masses of image names we use now. (Standardizing our image names is probably going to be the last thing that ever happens here, but I sure wish it would...) --tjstrf talk 07:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

So, please, people stop deleting Luppi's article. Is ridiculous the fact that, just 'cause he is dead, he doesn't deverve one. Specially before: "Oh, he's dead, delete it! Oh, wait, he is alive, restore it. Oh, dead, let's go". - Access Timeco 13:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Lilinette's design.

Is it possible that Lilinette's design is based off of Midna from The Legend of Zelda? Her mask seems to be very close in, what with the one eye, and the horns, and her clothing has the same pattern as Midna's fur. Also their personalities seem a bit close. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.150.236.222 (talk) 19:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Short answer: No. Long answer: It doesn't matter because we are not allowed to insert speculation into articles regardless of their truth or untruth. --tjstrf talk 19:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Unnamed Espada

In the page for the Akatsuki of Naruto, the as-yet unnamed Akatsuki members both have short articles. On the same token, I was wondering if the two unnamed Espada should get a mention on this page. While we know little about either, there's about the same amount of data available for at least one of the aforementioned Akatsuki, so I don't see why they can't at least get a mention. It would, at the least, lend some completeness to the grouping. Thoughts? -- SilverBelial 05:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

we need something to put as a heading...what do u suggest? "that one guy with the thing". and "the black one"? --Grimjaw 06:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

How about Unnamed Espada I and Unnamed Espada II? Doesn't seem too hard. I always wondered why we didn't just make little sections for all of them a long time ago. Kangarugh22 03:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Or, Unnamed Espada (Elder) and Unnamed Espada (Dark-Skinned), just to clear it up further? -- SilverBelial 07:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

i have already said on other talk pages whenever we see a zanpakuto i'd make articles for each espada. do we really need to rush it when we know nothing about them. seriously old espadas article right here: he's old he looks like this....thats all we got its like a paragraph at best, and i dragged out il forte into a whole article. same with the big spikey headed dude. just chill a bit, i'm sure we're gonna see something out of em soon enough. its not like they aren't gonna get articles if we don't rush them out. everyone has pretty much already decided they will all get articles, they even gave luppi one again. --Grimjaw 07:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I believe there might have been a slight miscommunication. I don't mean article as in a separate page, I meant more as a subsection on this page, much like Stark and Halibel have. We know approximately the same amount about the two unnamed ones, save obviously for their names, so I was just thinking they should get a mention as well. Still, I understand your reasoning as well, and perhaps waiting is the best course of action. -- SilverBelial 07:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Given the rate at which they've been turning out the Espada, I'd say two or three more weeks will reveal those two. Until then, however, we don't know enough about them to write more than two sentences. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 08:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Well we do know a little about their personality. We hardly know anything more about Stark except his name. The article could be about their appearance, personality, mask, hollow hole, and what they are doing now.

Metastacia

It currently says in his section that when he returned to Hueco Mundo, that his body was analyzed and somehow Kaien got revived and retook control of the body before being consumed by #9 (You know who he is, don't wanna spell it out until its spelling is confirmed somewhere). But since the only confirmation we have of that is #9's assertion of it while wearing Kaien's face, shouldn't that be considered only as part of #9's ploy to lower Rukia's guard? -- Seraphchoir 13:39, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

He states that the story was true at some point. Nemu 13:41, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I just reviewed the entire fight between #9 and Rukia and can't find him confirming any part of his original story as true; can you show me where? (I read from the M7 translation) -- Seraphchoir 00:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

It's when he reveals that the body is the true "spirit body" of Kaien, and not just a replication. Nemu 00:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay I've pinpointed it as chapter 267, and I'm reading both the M7 and Blood translations. While it does state that the body is the true spirit body of Kaien, and that all the experiences, memories, "everything" was there, but it doesn't say that Kaien was able to "come in control" of the body. I assume that just means that his experiences, memories, etc was all present within Metastacia's corpse somehow, of which #9 devoured and was able to access at will, but that means #9 devoured Metastacia's corpse, not the somehow-revived Metastacia/Kaien hybrid. -- Seraphchoir 00:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

There's no reason to assume he was lying about those details. There'd be no reason to. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 02:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Since at the time he made those statements, Rukia didn't know about #9's abilities, he'd make that statement to lead Rukia into believing the original Kaien (with his original Gotei 13 alignment) was in control, and therefore trust him as the real Kaien. Until #9 attacked Rukia, the ploy worked, so how much of #9's recounting of events is actually credible?

Do I make sense? >_> -- Seraphchoir 04:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but there's still no reason to believe he was lying about the hollow's abilities. In fact, he would have to be telling the truth or something close. How else would he have absorbed Kaien except indirectly? — Someguy0830 (T | C) 05:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh no, I'm not doubting the hollow's abilities, but rather, the part where Kaien's consciousness regained control of the Metastacia/Kaien fusion, *before* it was consumed by #9 -- Seraphchoir 07:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh... *facepalm* Vagued it out so it's not an issue. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 07:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Haha sorry for not being very specific earlier >_> -- Seraphchoir 07:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Fracción Arrancar

Should we reorder the Numeros now that we know how the attendant positions work? They're called Flación, by the way. I've already added the info to Lilinette and Tesla's info and have change a little for Lumina and Verona. We now know, though that those two fatties are actually regular hollow Arrancar that ZP modified beforehand. So... should they go with the Numeros or just stay in Hollows even though they really aren't? Well, they aren't Gillians like the Numeros are... so I don't know where to put them now. Kangarugh22 18:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

No they are called Fracción, the Spanish word for fraction. Anyway, I think they should be a sub-heading of the Numeros. Gdo01 18:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I said this in the Hollows discussion, too, but that's some screwed up Spanish if it's supposed to be fracción. It should be written Furakushion. Oh well, it seems like once you wikipedians decide on something, no one can change your minds.Kangarugh22 18:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Well Kubo's Spanish is not exactly perfect and certain accents of Spanish do pronounce it as fracion with a soft C. Gdo01 18:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I will give it to you that fracción is an actual word. lol The closest thing to flación is "inflación." There is not a root word in there, though, apparently. There are a few instances of it if you search Google for flación, but I still couldn't find a meaning for it.

Inflación[2] means inflation in the economic sense. I don't see anyway that could relate to a position among the arrancar. Gdo01 18:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I know what inflation means. lol I'm saying that, although there is DEflation and INflation, flation by itself is not a word. But, if inflation is an increase invalue and deflation is a decrease in value, couldn't flation on it's own just mean value? I'm not an expert on that kind of thing... Kangarugh22 18:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

No. The term inflation has to do not with value, but rather refers quite literally to an expansion (blowing up, like a balloon) of the money supply. Since -tion is a standard suffix, the root word would be inflate, meaning to fill with air or gas, which itself comes from flate, presumably referring to air (or possibly breath). --tjstrf talk 05:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Grimmjow's Fraccións?

Is there actually any evidence that Grimmjow's team are actually his fraccións (fracción, fracciónes)? --Pentasyllabic 23:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Not really. I'm surprised that noone reverted that part yet. Grimmjow didn't seem to care much about them all dying. He did say something about Rukia killing D-Roy, though. I doubt they are his fracción.Kangarugh22 23:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Well given by the definition given by Zaera, they fit the description of fracción. And why would Grimmjow give a damn about their lives anyway? Gdo01 23:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Them being Grimmjow's Fracción makes far more sense than them being "Sexta" Fracción, given that at the time the two things were one and the same. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 23:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Unless something actually states it (data books?), it probably shouldn't be assumed. Plus, it really doesn't go along with the whole secrecy thing, and Tosen being angry about five Numeros being dead. If they were truly under his command (in a subordinate type role), it seems it would be at least slightly different. Nemu 23:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Well Gin and Aizen didn't give a damn and Tousen is the most uptight of them all. Anyway if they aren't his fracción then all mentions of the other Espada's fraccións should also be removed since they have not been officially been called them. Gdo01 23:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

No one has been officially called that, but Tesla and Lilinette are kinda obviously Noitora and Stark's Fracciones respectively. Just seeing Tesla protect Noitora is proof of that. They (including Halibel's Fracción who we don't have a name for)follow their leader around even in Hueco Mundo. Shawlong, Edorad, Ilfort, D-Roy, and Nakim didn't really seem to look up to Grimmjow, but rather just followed whatever orders he gave them. Shawlong seemed to think he was better than Grimmjow in a way since he is the oldest. Also, since the Espada handpick their Fracción, I doubt Grimmy would pick someone like D-Roy who everyone called a piece of shit. Kangarugh22 02:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

We have no evidence that the Fraccion concept had even been invented yet at that point in the series, therefore we would need explicit confirmation (via databook) to say that they were Fraccion. --tjstrf talk 04:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC

There's little chance they were Grimmjows since at that time there were only around 20 or so Arrancar as stated by Aizen himself after Ulquiorra returned and when Grimmjow, Shawlong and D-Roy first appeared.

Nakim

He speaks twice; once to respond to Matsumoto's question, and again when he realized Matsumoto was still alive.

New Arrancar

Should we add the arrancar (the one with all the clones) that was introduced in the recent filler episodes. I forgot what his name was exactly.

Probably. –Gunslinger47 23:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, be my guest. Although I think mangareaders might protest. But fillers are still part of bleach, so yeah.--Twsl 19:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

So, what will be the name? Unknown arrancar, duplicate arrancar? We should probably add it, but lets wait for some response from other Bleach editors.--Hanaichi 01:29, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

We don't add every hollow, of which there are quite a few, so we don't need the nameless arrancar, either. Have to give the anime team their props, they made a sweet arrancar, but it needs a name. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Surely you don't add every minor hollow. But i fail to see how this hollow with three episodes (or so) completely dedicated to him can be seen as a minor hollow and on top of that not even being noteworthy? And where does it say that an arrancar _must_ have a name in order to being added? You can't decide for all of us that he can't be added, just because _you_ say so, this page isn't yours and it isn't mine either, so it would help if other people gave their thoughts about this so a decision could be made. I vote for 'yes'. Twsl 10:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I believe that we should wait for more opinion. However, we must take Someguys opinion into consideration. The arrancar is totally the anime teams' work, not Kubo Tite. As such, we must also consider the nameless arrancar as I think it is quite pathetic to put up a section about a Unknown or Unnamed arrancar.--Hanaichi 10:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

That arrancar is indeed not Kubo Tite's work, but does it matter? This page is about hollows in Bleach, both anime and manga so like I said earlier, even hollows that appeared in the fillers are still part of Bleach. But I have to agree with you having a section named "Unnamed Arrancar" sounds a bit weird. I would rather put them at the end of the "other arrancars"-section since that sounds more logically. But looking at the other names in that section like grandfisher and nell, for me, it would look really weird to see him between those guys xD I don't know it anymore, some feedback of the others would be nice. Twsl 11:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

What about the "Unnamed Exequias Leader" then?

Grimmjoww's Fracción

D.Roy, Shawlong, etc. They said they are Adjuchas in Chapter 285, i thot they we're gillian tho... They said they were predestined to only be Adjuchas not heightened Gillian (24.205.190.225 06:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC))

Yeah, surprising. I am still sure that Nakim was a Gillian, though. Anyways, I will add this to their parts (if someone disagree with Nakim's class, said it, please). - Access Timeco 14:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Weren't they still gillians? I intepreted it to mean that they were on their way to becoming adjuchas, but still technically gillians. Anyway, I don't think we should change their menos rank until we have more information. Dabarnes

Why would shawlong say that he was destined to be "just" an adjuuchas? doesn't sound logical to me if he would say that while being gillian. but maybe it's wise to wait for some clear evidence Twsl 13:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

yea, i'm sure nakim is definetly just a gillian, but why would they be "just" and adjuuchas when aizan specifically said "they were only gillian" (24.205.190.225 21:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC))

seems as though someone has changed it anyways >_< (24.205.190.225 22:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC))

I'm sure it will be cleared up later, but since they didn't say directly "We are adjuchas," and Aizen did say "They are gillians," I think we should change it back to gillian. Also, we never see Grimmjow eat them, and they are alive later, so I don't think we should say they were eaten and somehow became separate entities later; that's speculation. Dabarnes

Saying that they were eaten and then became seperate entities is false at this point as it has no basis in actual fact; Shawlong asked Grimmjow to eat them but we never saw him do it and the five of them were Arrancar later whilst evidently still being Adjuchas-class. Based on that alone Grimmjow didn't eat them.

By the way, I removed the end of D-Roy's article ("It is possible he could attack with this eye"), referring to his bandaged eye. It's speculation based on nothing, so it has no place in the article. Dabarnes

Look, Shawlong clearly said he believed the most they can reach (except for Grimm) is Adjuchas level... if they didn't reach that particular level already, how in the world would they know? As for the question about whether Grimm did eat them (wholly or partially), he did eat him because he said so... and the flashback frame did contain him with a bloody mouth. The question of how they later become Gillians prior to the arrancar process is unclear, but everything else are established fact. --Finestela 16:59, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I understand what you're saying it's so not logical if they aren't ajuuchas but at the other hand it's true that we also can't ignore what Aizen said about them being just a gillian. Maybe Kubo Tite messed things up or perhaps he will explain it in the next chapter. I think we should wait before making a permanent decision.

We know already that Adjuchas can turn back into Gillian. So, they be Adjuchas on the flashback and Gillian when "arrancarized" is not wrong. The only strange thing is why they still were conscious, but this is not up to us to decide. - 200.209.169.81 22:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

They had to still be Adjucha's because otherwise they wouldn't have a unique form as Gillians all look the same. Saying they changed back to Gillian form but kept their intelligence and unique form anyway is stupid, it's more likely that Kubo simply made a goof on that. Them being Adjucha's makes more sense as Nakim was shown to be a Gillian in the past and guess what? He hardly spoke and he didn't Release which would indicate lesser intelligence.

Grantz

So Ilforte was an adjuchas-class menos before becoming an arrancar, and Szayel Aporro Grantz said he was a lower class of menos than his before becoming an arrancar. Does it means that Szayel was a Vastolorde? He do look very humanoid.

Just because he looks humaniod doesn't mean he is a Vasto Lorde. All the arrancar looks humaniod for that matter. For all we know, Ilforte ate alot of hollows and became an adjuchas, revert back to Gillian (somehow, maybe Grimmjow halted his evolution by eating a part of him) and became an arrancar. So that leaves a gap to whether Szayel is a Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde as Gimmjow is a Adjucas Espada, and Arleri said himself was the only Gillian to become an Espada.--Hanaichi 05:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

No Szayel Aporro just said that Il Fort was trash and that he didn't like him and nothing about his Menos Class. Both Yammy and Grimmjow were Adjucha-Menos before being Arrancarized and there's a big gap between their strengths so saying Szayel was a higher class just because he was stronger is baseless. Especially since Aaroniero was stronger than Yammy and was a lower Menos Class than him.

Okay, got it

but aaroniero had the ability to eat other hollows, which makes me wonder why did he stay gillian if he absorbed so many hollows (24.205.190.225 04:14, 2 August 2007 (UTC))

Aaroniero absorbed them, he didn't eat them...apparently there's a difference there. Also bear in mind perhaps he was wounded prior to becoming an Arrancar and so couldn't evolve further anymore like D-Roy (who was wounded by Grimmjow and his evolution stopped). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.102.42.227 (talk) 14:13, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

I know Espada and Gotei 13 is a complete set but we don't know much more about Sasakibe than Halibel, except their zanpakuto.

And as the IP is suggesting, those characters shouldn't have articles either. Nell has made few contributions to the series aside from accompanying Ichigo. If you would like to see other characters lose their articles for the same reasons as Nell, voice your opinion at this discussion. ~SnapperTo 04:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Patros?

Basically, do we think he's worth adding? On the one hand, he's a filler character, but he does seem to have a reasonable degree of weight in the story to at least get a mention. And if so, should he be placed under the Numeros category? Other? - SilverBelial 00:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the canon/filler arguement makes a difference. As long as we can add him without making his discription solely a plot summary and a small paragraph on our lack of information on his zanpakuto, or even wander into WP:CRUFT territory, he should by all means be added. // DecaimientoPoético 00:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Unnamed Exequias Leader

I deleted the small article about the Exequias Leader, because he doesn't have a name. If he deserve and article, then the Old Man and Black Guy deserve one too, I'm surprised that no one had noticed this, especially Someguy0830 and Sephiroth BCR, who almost classified everything change I made unconstructive, including the article about the 2 unnamed Espadas. If you wish to restore it, post here or on my talk page first.

"[B]ecause he doesn't have a name" is not what determines if he gets a mention. I take it you've never read Wikipedia:Notability. The Exequias leader plays a somewhat important role. Granted, it's not at the same level of importance as say Toshiro, but hopefully you get my point. // DecaimientoPoético 15:57, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Uh huh, but the Unnamed arrancar in the fillers (Ep. 128 - 131) didn't get a mention, and he made more appearance than many characters (Halibel, Stark, Noitora, Unnamed Espadas, the Exequias, and all Numeros) --User:Hartebeest

"The filer Arrancar" and minor hollows

While I feel "the filler Arrancar" deserves to be mentioned, there's a difference between this case and the one with the Exequias leader. With the Exequias leader, there's only one and you can clearly differentiate him from the rest of the Exequias; with unamed arrancar, however, it's not as easy to pull off such a thing. There are more than one filler arrancar, and a hell of a lot more unamed arrancar in general. I won't remove him for now, and instead try and add on to his descrition.

As for the minor hollows, we shouldn't be adding them to the list solely because they have a name. Hexapodus has one sentence to his decription (exclduing the note about his purifaction), and the only real reason I can think of as to why he's on the list is because he has a name.

It isn't important to include that a character is deceased while listing them because it contains spoilers. You can say that they died in their own page, but it can be ruined for people like me who are just looking up their names. Not everyone reads the manga.209.91.61.223 18:16, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

They don't have their own pages (explaining why we have so many characters listed in "List of Bleach..." articles in detail), and Wikipedia will always contain spoilers whether you like it or not. Being an online encyclopedia that covers virtually every notable topic in existance, we have to stay up-to-date on our content; we can't cover content only up to episode 47 because the English fanbase hasn't gotten as far as Japan. // DecaimientoPoético 18:22, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

well i don't care if it is a spoiler or not, people should know articles like these contains spoilers. but it's ridiculous to add (deceased) after each name in this article. this article is called "list of bleach hollows" who are supposed to be the "bad guys" of this show. as a result the list of dead hollows will keep piling up which will result in a list of x hollow names with 80% having the (deceased) tag on them. in the end everybody but the "good hollows" like nell and co will be having the "deceased" tag on them. that's just ridiculous. my vote goes for deleting those in this article.

i will give this 2 weeks and after that i will delete all of it. i want those things to be gone as soon as possible, really guys. this is stupid. Twsl 22:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

The deceased tags stay. As I said earlier, we're to stay as up-to-date on our content as possible. If that means adding deceased tags to all but three or four characters on this page, so be it. // DecaimientoPoético 22:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Names and details are important, not if they are currently living. Articles are for describing characters and their names; you don't see a deceased tag on Aerith_Gainsborough because it isn't important. It wasn't even important enough to add a deceased tag to Aizen, even if he didn't really die. It's just pointless to add a deceased tag to every character that dies, because the reader will find out as soon as they reach that point in the story. Even though you could say that every Hollow will die sooner or later, and that most that have appeared have died, but you could say the same about the humans on earth, for they are mortals. If deceased tags are so important, why haven't they shown up in other Wikipedia articles? You mind as well go through the Bleach fighting games, because this is ridiculous.209.91.61.223 20:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes I agree. I don't see why it's so bad to just write in the description itself that the character died or got cut or whatever. This way you will also avoid having those people that keep adding and removing the deceased tag like we saw with grimmjow. "he has been cut by noitora! *adds deceased*. "no we haven't see him die! *removes deceased*. "yeah but there is no way he could survive that! *adds deceased*. the way i see it, there are more advantages to removing them than keeping them. anyway, 2 people are voting to delete those tags and just 1 to keep them. more opinions are needed people. Twsl 23:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a democracy. You could have 99 people saying the tags should be removed and only one saying they should stay. Numbers don't matter; it's each persons' argument that does.

As for the IP's Aerith/Aizen examples, those are separate articles, not character lists. Nowhere on either of those pages, nor any other Final Fantasy VII or Bleach character article, would a deceased tag be appropriate. There are no status or even age parameters in the infoboxes (unlike the one's for Naruto characters), so you wouldn't have even a moderately good place to add the tag. Also in response to the IP, we are here to provide information from the story so people don't have to search through every last volume themselves for a single page or chapter. If your "as soon as they reach that point in the story" argument were even the slightest bit legit, we wouldn't have plot summaries, now would we? // DecaimientoPoético 00:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

So now you want a page for each minor character? That's ridiculous, as you'll probably find a way to cut it down. My "as soon as they reach that point in the story" point is that you don't need to remember if a minor character died when writing a synopsis. It's important to know what that character's personality was like, how they interacted with other people, and basically how they LIVED. It isn't important to say "Oh, he was just useless death fodder in one chapter." I know there is always a risk for spoilers in a Wikipedia article, but I don't need it thrown in my face when I'm just careful enough to look at their names. If you feel that it is important that a character died then you should write it in the description. Also, I won't be able to show you a list of names that have dead characters because there are so many series to look for. I had Gantz in mind, but the article isn't in the same format as this one.209.91.61.223 08:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

If you read my repsonse again, you'll notice I never used the words "create," "pages," "for," "minor," and "characters" in the same sentence. But after reading over what you wrote, I suppose it wouldn't be harmful to remove the tags and add their deaths in each character's description. I apologize for dragging on this argument for so long. // DecaimientoPoético 13:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

so isn't this a characterlist? List_of_extraterrestrials_in_Dragon_Ball do you see any deceased tags on them? no because the solely purpose of pages like these are to give information about the characters. it's not a "which-persons-are-deceased-and-which-not"-page. other examples List_of_minor_characters_in_One_Piece and List_of_followers_of_the_Earl_of_Millennium. in fact almost all of the anime/manga character pages don't have those deceased tags to avoid matters like i described above. you're obviously right about the fact that wikipedia isn't a democracy. but we _are_ the ones with better arguments. you just fail to see that there are problems attached to those deceased -tags. Twsl 10:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You really shouldn't draw examples from what other series articles do, since all have different standards and different ways of doing something. Instead, point out that none of the other Bleach articles have deceased tags. ~SnapperTo 18:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Whether you're implying none of the other Bleach articles have deceased tags or otherwise, I'm not quite sure. However, List of Bleach Bounts doesn't have any simly because each character has their own section, leaving no room for a deceased tag, but List of Bleach shinigami has several (Kaien, Miyako, Maki, and Baishin). // DecaimientoPoético 19:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The Bount article wouldn't be difficult; adding a Status bullet for each character would allow for deceased tags. My point, however, is that deceased tagging is not consistent; the Hollows listed at the start of this article are dead, as is Grand Fisher, and so (I believe) is Chad's grandfather. I'm sure these are simply oversights, but it's something to note if the tags are to stay. ~SnapperTo 22:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Yammy

Why has Yammy's picture been removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.219.220.116 (talk) 13:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

And what happened to the rest of his information? Big red01027 21:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Own Page

Why do some of the espada have their own page but other's don't? I know that Arorino (I don't have the page open, excuse the spelling) used to have his own page, but now he doesn't. I can understand the espada that have only been very briefly shown, but I think a major character that was involved with [Spoiler]'s possible death deserves his own page. SoulReaverDan 23:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

The four Espada who currently have articles are allowed such a privilege because they're active at the moment. It seems possible that they, or at least Nnoitra and Szayel, will be merged when their part is finished. As for Aaroniero, he's only around for about four chapters, so there really isn't an article's worth that can be said about him. ~SnapperTo 03:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Since is very unlikely Nnoitra or Szayel will recieve any real relevance soon, even if they survive their fights, I agree with merge their articles now (yeah, I know this is being discussed on "characters in bleach", but it seems more efficient this way). Among the Arrancar/Hollow, only Ulquiorra and Grimmjow, so far, had enough to be granted their own articles. - Access Timeco 02:04, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Why not after their respective fights and see whether they die or not then we merge their pages. The world isn't ending today, and there is plenty of time to wait for awhile until their part is played. Access, what do you mean very unlikely? Nnoitra is in the middle of fighting with Ichigo, and Szayel just released his zanpakuto. If I remember correctly, the last time we saw an Espada released his zanpakuto was Grimmjow, and that itself took 4 chapters or so.--Hanaichi 02:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I mean that have a long fight is not enough to grant you an article. Aaroniero had one, and I think we all agree he doesn't have enough material to justify an own article. And, if, in the future, Nnoitra get enough relevance to deserve one (I don't doubt he will), his article will not be deleted, just inactivated. We'll just have to undo the redirect edit and it will be back, is not like all the work in the article will be lost if we merge it. - Access Timeco 14:28, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I think Szayel has more info than Ulquiorra, c'mon, Ulquiorra played a small part in Yammy&Ulquiorra vs Yoruichi&Urahara, and Ulquiorra vs Ichigo took 2 chapters, but Szayel vs Ishida&Renji first part took 3 chapters. Both of them got their numbers revealed, both got their last name revealed, but only Szayel released his zanpakuto and revealed his zanpakuto name. We've got more than enough info about his fraccions, while Ulq has none known. I know he appeared earlier, but spending some private time with Orihime doesn't make Ulquiorra the main character.!!!!Hartebeest 04:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Last edited by Hartebeest 04:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

They really all should be merged except for Grimmjow, who has received a significant amount of backstory and coverage. As for now, let's wait until the fights wind down before doing anything. And Hartebeest, I reverted your initial post because it was a blatant personal attack. Be civil to other editors. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Um, didn't I already changed it and apologized? You've made your point. Hartebeest 05:01, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

So its generally agreed, we wait until their battles are over.--Hanaichi 05:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

What about Ulquiorra then? He has less information than Szayel. Hartebeest 02:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Who knows, alot more could come, like what happened to Grimmjow. No need to be in a rush.--Hanaichi 10:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Szayel is not that relevant, although. Ulquiorra maybe has less info concerning his fighting abilities (something that can be explained in just one paragraph, so it doesn't make so much difference), but his appearances are always important to the development of the main story. - Access Timeco 15:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Like I said, its generally agreed that we wait until their parts are over then merge them. I have a feeling alot more about Ulquiorra is going to be revealed in the future.--Hanaichi 02:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Nel Tu should have her own page because her entire name, significant backstory and zanpaktou release have been shown---- 86.158.198.105 (talk) 18:42, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Why is the basis for having their own page based on how active they are in the story valid when not everyone is at the same place in the story. Furthermore if they are at the place in the story where they are prevalent, they would have a greater knowledge of the character than if they where further back in the story. The reasoning for getting their own page needs some work. --130.156.138.46 (talk) 22:49, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Should we add a new image of Luppi from the anime? I think we should but tell me your opinion.

yup i think we should as well. i think it would be great if eventually, all images would be anime pictures for consistency. if it's not possible, well too bad i guess =D Twsl 20:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Added one. See Image:WonderwiceAnime.jpg. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd suggest leaving the manga image for Wonderweiss. It's the more official character design, in color, and doesn't look like it was drawn in marker by a 12 year old. --tjstrf talk 04:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I have always disliked the images taken from the color spreads, as there is always significant clutter in the background, especially in the case of that image. If that image could be cleaned up, then I wouldn't mind putting it back. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 04:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

We should wait for next weeks Bleach episode for a better view of Wonderwice, other than the half naked one or the kiddish odd picture.--Hanaichi 12:19, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Think we should trash Image:Espada-group.jpg soon, and add images for individual Espadas (Stark, Halibel, and Unnamed), because the group image only show part of their face and when I first look at it (May 2007, when I catch up with manga), I was like WTF! -- Hartebeest 02:52, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I tried to do something similar when I first came here but someguy8309 (or something) kept reverting back saying this page isn't a gallery :( so maybe we can find a good grouppicture of the espada? Twsl 15:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as you probably haven't read WP:NFCC, you probably haven't noticed that articals or sections which doesn't have enough information can't get a image. The Espada group image is far by the best GROUP image we can get, unless you want the ultra blur one from the anime opening. Stop complaining, there is something called fair use and what you are trying to do isn't exactly fair. You guys are breaching the fair use copyright bla bla bla thing so its either no individual picture per section, or deletion of our article. Live with it.--Hanaichi 04:16, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all it's articles, not articals. Secondly, who's complaining? Did I miss something? Why are you mumbling about fair use? Do you hear me saying that we have to place pics for each person? No, so don't be saying "you guys are breaching the fair use". Next time read very carefully what a person says otherwise don't post at all understood? Ontopic: When I find a better pic of the espada as a group , I will replace the current one. Twsl 10:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Basically the guideline is to use as few images as possible except where there is significant discussion of the image itself. Since we know nothing about the characters that don't already have their own images, so we can't discuss them enough to put any. --tjstrf talk 10:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Well if it's really in the rules to use as few images as possible, I think there are a few images that we can replace. For example, in the newest episode of bleach (the espada invasion) we see a groupshot of Grimmjow, Yami, Wonderweiss and Luppi. Besides that there are also seperate pics of for example Yami and Luppi together. Just a suggestion. If anyone is against this please do tell :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twsl (talk • contribs) 11:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

No, leave it as is. The rule is to use as few unimportant pictures as possible, they still have to be usable though. Group shots of characters with no particular attachment to each other does not fall under that category. --tjstrf talk 11:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Alright, got it. Twsl 12:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I still prefer colored images from manga, since they depict the character as the creator imagines (the anime is somehow different since is not him who is drawing). But, well, whatever. I was thinking, since we have an "Espada" image, shouldn't we delete the Yammy one (since he already appear on the first)? Aaroniero is ok because the first image doesn't show his face. - Access Timeco 15:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

And Luppi? EDIT: and we should trash the group image sooner or later, when Stark, Halibel, and the 2 unnamed arrancar gets enough information. Hartebeest 15:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Luppi is not in that image. And don't trash the Espada one u.u it is just SOOOOO much better than the crap anime material :( and it also works on the Hollow (Bleach) article. - Access Timeco 16:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The only time that image is going to go is when the anime reaches the Espada meeting during the Hueco Mundo arc, when all ten Espada are in a single picture. And only if that picture is half-decent. Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 00:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

There's definitely not two L's in that picture... Kangarugh22 20:16, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

71.243.70.34 is right. There IS two L's. The second is, like he said, "attached to the bottom of the N". - Access Timeco 22:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I probably should have looked in here first before editing, but with at least one scan out now, there's nothing to suggest that the N is merged with an L. 69.65.70.103 16:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I said it based on the right side of the letter, where you can see that the N ends right after it meets Nell's head, so the long part on the left side should be another letter (an L). But now, seeing Nnoitra's cover, I see that the N lower part deffinetly have a horizontal part that is missing before the supposedly L. So, I am not sure of anything anymore XPPPPP

If I have to guess, I would stay with it being two letters merged since everyone who was an Espada has a double letter (Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Luppi, Szayel Aporro, Nnoitra, Aaroniero, Yammy, Dordonii, Cirucci)... but, well, we know Nell is just a nickname, so it doesn't have to follow this apparent "rule" anyway. - Access Timeco 16:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Not to sound condescending, but with the upper portion of the right side of the N extending to the right in a similar fashion, there is zero reason to believe that there is a hybridized N/L character signifying a double L in the spelling of her nickname. The cover page clearly shows "N E L", and imagining the possibility of entire letters being hidden behind the character is completely speculation. I've seen very crowded cover pages, as was the case with Nnoitra, but has ther ever been a history of two characters being represented by one, hybrid character? 69.65.70.103 16:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Do you spell words diagonally with different sized letters and in different directions? Of course not. Kubo does, though, so until we get a clear, full view shot, it's Nell. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 18:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

A high quality image of the cover was released some good hours ago on Jojohot's chinese scanlation. And, yeah, I agree with 69.65.70.103, it is Nel. - Access Timeco 18:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure we can. I will not do this because the new one shows her fullbody, so I prefer it. But if you want the old one, you can go there and change the image to NellTu (Tou? Can't remember).jpg. I believe no one will complain. - Access Timeco 13:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually I prefered the previous one as well. She doesn't have anything that makes her body special/important so in my opinion just a picture of the face will do =). Seeing you give your permission to change it back, I'm changing it back. Twsl 15:02, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Related to Nel, perhaps we should include a picture of her release? An arrancar's resurrectión is an extremely important part of their nature and powers, and it makes sense to me to include Nel's. Kyouraku-taichou 23:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it'd be good to clutter this page with more images. But then again, Nel should definitely have her own page by now. She's as notable as, if not more so than, Nnoitra or Szayel.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 23:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Tosta mista, images on Wikipedia are generally put on the right, unless there's a good reason not to. It doesn't really matter to me personally, but there doesn't seem to be any problem with putting that particular image on the right-hand side, so why do you insist putting it on the left? -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 12:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess I'm the culprit :( It's too bad why you don't exactly say why you think it looks terrible. But for me, well I think it looks orderly if all the pictures are aligned to the right, instead of all except one picture aligned to the right. Also, by moving the picture to the left, half of the text gets nudged to the right. While the other half at the other hand, is still at the left. I don't really see the point in doing that. I also think that it's easier and more comfortable to read if all the text are aligned. -Twsl 17:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Current pictures of the Espada -> released or non-released?

While I was reading the previous topic, I was wondering, is there ever decided to use only released or only non-released pictures to illustrate the members of the Espada? Somebody recently changed the picture of Luppi to a released version. I actually think that the non-released version of the Espada can hold some relevance as well. In Luppi's case he doesn't change that much, but (for example) Aaroniro does. The current article consists of released/non-released arrancar mixed together (well actually Luppi is the only one in a released state). Question 1: could we change that to just one type for the consistency? Question 2: Could we "merge" two pictures together like the Grandfisher picture? I'd prefer a merge. Of course this doesn't apply for all the arrancar, but just the Espada that have an own picture at the moment. The "gillian 5" etc. should be left alone since they're minor characters. I'd like to hear your thoughts please =) Twsl 15:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice one for the Luppi pic, it was me who uploaded the released form. I uploaded a new version for better view. Its a bit ugly, but oh well. Its true, Luppi doesn't change that much, nor does Grimmjow(does long hair and panter like body count?At least his structure is the same) So maybe we should upload release and non release.--Hanaichi 12:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, the new version is fine =D Twsl 13:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Nell Tu

Even though the scantilation is probably one day away, you should still not post speculation. Nell does not have a zanpakuto in that picture, and we don't know what number she was. 75.0.189.185 23:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't Nel be with the rest of the Privaron Espada?67.42.214.24 00:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

No, of course not. The Privarons all have triple-digit numbers and lived in Tres Cifras. They're also all still on Aizen's side, as well as being "natural" ones as opposed to being created from the Hougyoku. Since Nel has a tattoo, one'd think she's an artificial one and therefore isn't anything like a Privaron. 75.0.189.185 01:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Nell DOES have a zanpaktou, you can see it clearly on page 11, and 13 Also, is it possible that Pesse and Dondo are Nell's Fraction? I know the Fraction are suppose to be arrancar, but is it possible since they can sense her transformation? (24.205.190.225 18:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC))

When I posted that, Chapter 291 wasn't out, and you can't see her Zanpakuto anywhere in Chapter 290, please check the timestamp before saying things like this. Your second point is pure speculation and cannot possibly be verified 75.0.189.185 23:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Nel is an "Natural" Espada, they stated in the last chapter that's it's been years since she was kicked out and they only had the Hougyoku for what? 3 months now?

That's a bit vague at the moment. During the flashback of Dordonii we clearly see that Nnoitra was one of the first born by the hogyoku. So how was he able to kick her out "years ago" while he was born just three months ago? I wonder if what he said was true.. Twsl 09:46, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Hah!It means everyone is a liar! Lol joking joking. How do you know whether Nel is a Natural Espada? It was never stated. As for Nnoitra, he could be just lying the same way Arleri did to Rukia. --Hanaichi 09:58, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of how she was made Nel is clearly no longer an Espada. She is even fighting against Aizen. I propose she be moved to 'Other'.

I agree. Although making another section for ex-/dead espada and throwing luppi, nell etc. in it while allowing only the current living espada in the espada-section could work well too in my opinion. -Twsl (talk) 13:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Page for Nell?

I can't help but think, given how much time has been spent on her of late, that Nell deserves her own page---at least, if Ulquiorra and Grimmjow do. Corbmobile 23:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Not yet, there isn't enough material to write about her, even less than Ulq. At least Ulq was credited with two invasions of the real world, and actually kidnapping Orihime.75.0.189.185 00:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Wait until the end of her fight with Nnoitra, then ask again.

Point taken. Probably should wait until then. Corbmobile 04:22, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I dunno...I think she has enough "character" to herself already that merits her own page. But, thats my opinion anyways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 22:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree she has much information for a page of her own. (Speaker180 18:09, 14 October 2007 (UTC))

We know alot more about her than we do some of the other guys, like Nnoitra. That alone deserves a page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.24.125 (talk) 02:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, virtually none of the Bleach characters "deserve" their own pages due to failure of the WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. –Gunslinger47 02:50, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, if we did that the pages of intros would be way too long. Anyways, I think next chapter would be perfect for her page. More info on the Zanpaktou, her released form and description of appearance and whatnot. And if it isn't enough you could go alittle more in depth with the information.

Colored image of adult Nel Tu

I'd like to add an image of adult Nel but as there are no official colored images I wanted to add an image like shown below. Is it not allowed to use colored images that resembles the same colors as the original? Or are we only allowed to use strictly official colored images? Is there some kind of policy regarding this? Thanks =) Twsl 10:36, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

No fan work, it is a breach of copyright of the author. It can only be colour if the author has released colour, or just have a black and white picture of Nel's "Espada" form, or wait until the anime reaches that point. σмgнgσмg 10:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that's clear, deleting the image. Thanks! Twsl 11:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem. σмgнgσмg 12:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
