Arrancar Encyclopedia

Arrancar Encyclopedia, previously known as Arrancar Research Time, is an omake section at the end of some of the anime episodes. It provides explanations about the Arrancar and subjects related to the Arrancar, such as Resurrección, Hueco Mundo, and Sonído. It is usually hosted by Gin Ichimaru and features a special guest, such as Ichigo Kurosaki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Nnoitra Jiruga.
