Talk:Yumichika Ayasegawa

Appearance/Personality
The Appearance section says little about his actual appearance. I think the "3th-5th seat" mess, his narcissistic attitude and that things should be on the personality section. The Appearance section barely mentions his feathers and his womanly appearance. Could someone fix that? I'm not so sure about how to phrase it, otherwise I'd do it myself.

 * Done, but I'm sure it could be better. Maybe someone else could look over it to see if it could be further improved. I've also moved some stuff from his personality section that wasn't relevant to it, to the trivia. Some characters names were linked multiple times in the article, so I removed the unnecessary ones. --Yyp 09:29, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Short Synopsis
The Synopsis, namely the SS arc and (especially) the Arrancar arc are seriously lacking in detail compared to the Bount & FKT arc. Anyone out there that would be able/willing to update them? I haven't seen/read those parts of the story in a long time, so I don't feel like I could do a good job with it. Yumichika appeared quite a lot in the Arrancar arc as far as I can remember. --Yyp 12:36, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Trivia section clean-up
Removed trivia,


 * It is also assumed he is trying to learn his Bankai, though Ruri'iro Kujaku is just as narcissistic as Yumichika himself, leading Yumichika to comically yell at his sword while trying to break it against a boulder, it also doesn't help that Yumichika does not often refer to him by his real name.


 * In the anime, perhaps intentionally, Yumichika's eye color and the handle on his Zanpakutō are wisteria purple. When he releases Ruri'iro Kujaku, his eyes and Reiatsu glow azure blue.


 * Powerful as it is, Yumichika only makes use of his Zanpakutō's Kidō properties when no other member of the 11th Division is around, lest they witness the true nature of his Zanpakutō and ridicule him.


 * In the anime's Bount Arc, Yumichika was seemingly easily defeated by Ugaki's doll Gezel. It is unknown as to why he didn't use his Zanpakutō's true form since they were both alone in a cave with no one to witness (although this was also far before he ever revealed his Zanpakutō's true name in the manga). Within the show, he may have been concerned that someone would notice an unusual change in his Reiatsu.


 * Similar to Ikkaku's Bankai, the losses that Yumichika usually suffers in battle are a result of his hesitation in revealing his Zanpakutō's true Shikai state.


 * Yumichika is one of the few people who know about Ikkaku's Bankai, along with Renji Abarai, Tetsuzaemon Iba, Keigo Asano, and possibly Sajin Komamura because the 7th Division captain did say "There is something in my ears today" when he overhears the conversation between Ikkaku and Tetsuzaemon Iba. In the movie Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto also witnessed his Bankai.

If you believe the above trivia is not junk please explain. But as far as I can tell most of it is either already in the article or of limited appeal and don't add anything to the article. Tinni 01:39, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Shikai
Shouldn't it placed in the trivia section that he's the only one to have been shown using two shikai releases I'm not referring to the abilities but the actual releases.--SalmanH 06:00, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

I would consider that borderline junk trivia. But if others feel that it is something worthy of note, we can certain put it in. Tinni 06:23, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Thats not relevant as what he releases is his shikai and then a release for its abilities, he doesn't have two shikai's anymore then Ikkaku does when he releases his shikai and his shikai ability to turn it into a three sectional staff. Salubri 06:26, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

I always thought Fuji was kinda like a half released Zanpakuto. Still, Tinni is right, it is hard to say whether it should be in the trivia. Minato88 06:43, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Kido Practitioner
Okay so someone has added the fact that Yumichika used Kido in the current anime arc. Now keep in mind that unlike Zaraki, whose battle stats show clearly he has no proficiency in kido and Ikkaku, who acknowledge to Iba that he isn't and "all round fighter", nothing has been said in the manga that says Yumichika can't do kido. Plus the entry does make it clear that he only performed kido in the anime. So do we leave it in or take it out? I don't care either way. I just wanted to bring attention to the fact it has been added to his page. Also, this is not without precedence as Rangiku is listed as being a kido practitioner but she two has only used kido in the anime. Tinni 14:06, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
