Talk:Sajin Komamura

He was human?
Where did the idea that Komamura was human at some point come from? It's in the history section of the article. LapisScarab 02:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

That comes from a history page, deleted until getting prove, as far as I remember, it's pure speculating. Mili-Cien 11:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
The Bleach Character book and offcial bootleg both show that he is 288 cm and is 301 kg so i changed it to that but i dont know what his height and weight becomes in feets and ibs.

Fox or Dog?
I know his history says his a dog,but he looks so much like a fox...

I agree they say he's a dog and yet he looks like a fox. Now its also stated that one of the reasons he hides his appearance for so long is because the fox is considered a bad omen and spirit of mischief or distrust. Others see him as a fox and dont trust him. This is the reason behind his loyalty and respect for Yamamoto and tosen. Tosen cant see so he never judged Sajin on his looks and yamamoto gave him a chance and looked past his appearance to see what he truly was allowing him into the Gotei 13 and captain position. So im guessing he is a fox but downplays it to dog so that he wont be so easily judged but as we see he obviously looks like a fox. Salubri 19:48, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Sajin's Release Command
Under the Zanpakutō section, it is stated that Komamura's release command is, but no reference is given for this information. Does anyone know where this info came from, as in the manga, whenever he used his shikai, he did not say his command? Is it from one of the games?--Yyp 11:18, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nobody has an answer to this? The fact that there is kanji for it suggests that it wasn't made up - it did come from somewhere. But if no proof is forthcoming, that isn't reason enough to leave it there. --Yyp 22:24, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

I think the information is from the Bleach Book of SOULs. I am not sure. I am uploading the raw here so people who can read japanese and check and confirm this is the source of the "Roar" command. Tinni 02:46, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Right, I'm fed up seeing this there with no evidence to back it up. It is gone. Until somebody can provide (in English) evidence of that being his release command, it is speculation. I have seen translations of various biographies & databooks, but I have never come across anything about his release command. And he is one of my favourite captains, so I would remember if I saw it. I'm repeating myself here, but is this from one of the video games? --Yyp 15:08, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Right, a quick follow-up to this. I have found that exact page in English, and it says "Komamura's giant sword deems Kenpachi a traitor for helping the Ryoka, and gives out a roar." That seems to have been the source of this claim, so this matter can be put to rest now. --Yyp 20:47, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Komamura's Main Image
I have a suggestion. Is it okay if we revert Komamura's main image (File:Sajinface.jpg) back to its original image (File:Saijin.jpg)? I believe it's better than the current image and its previous images because of two reasons. First, we have a better view of his face since he's facing the screen (I mean, you can see his eyes looking at you). Second, we also get a better view in the sense that it has the closest view compared to its successive images. Let me know what you guys think, okay? Thanks.:) --Ethelion 10:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Who changed his main image?! This is by far the worst main image Komamura has. Please revert it back to the one in the Fake Karakura Town.--Agate genbu 03:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys. I'd like to follow-up on my request re: "Komamura's Main Image" (refer to the Komamura's Main Image section of this discussion page for more). I assume that you guys not replying means that I could push through with my request of reverting Komamura's main image back to its original (File:Saijin.jpg). Unless you think otherwise, please give me your thoughts okay?:) Thanks a bunch.--Ethelion 01:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Bleach Video Games?
Ok, why does Komamura's page have this section? Shouldn't that info be under 'trivia' or 'appearances in other media'? And why does it redirect to "Bleach: Dark Souls"?King Of The Kill 07:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

You were right i dont know why it said that but i fixed it to appearances in other media, as far as the redirect link it has more to do with getting to the area talked about in the section this komamura.Salubri 17:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Automated transfer of Problem Report #23008
The following message was left by Goldbig via PR #23008 on 2009-06-08 10:40:59 UTC

The 'Trivia' section claims that Sajin is the only Shinigami without human properties.

Yet, in the 12th Div there are shinigami with huge fish faces which were checking Rukia's gigai.

I think what you mean is the 'Only Shingami Captain', not 'Only shinigami'.

Palm thrust

 * In episode 100 komamura was blasting people back with by simply thrusting his palms towards them but not even touching them and they were knocked back at least 2-3 feet, that is another testament to his strength but can it be added or or not since this was a filler arc?--SalmanH 20:09, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

It can be added in but needs to referenced. the only time theres an issue is when the anime totally conflicts with the manga. In this case it doesn't cause its showing a skill or ability that maybe seen later or he yet to show much like the versatility of his zanpakuto's abilities.Salubri 14:25, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Alright then as long as it isn't much of problem.--SalmanH 14:42, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Bankai/Shikai
I don't know Japanese, so if someone could indulge my question, I'd appreciate it.

His Shikai is Tenken (天譴) while his Bankai is Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō (黒縄 天譴 明王). Why does one have a k and the other a g (Tenken versus Tengen), when both use the same kanji (天譴)? I ran them through a romaji translator, and it identified them both as using a k. Is there a specific reason for this difference, or is one a mistake? Twocents 01:36, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

The official guide has them the exact way there up so who knows, we probably would have to know japanese to understand.Salubri 02:00, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that's quite strange! Thank you for answering. ^_^ Twocents 02:02, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Is he the least seen captain of the Gotei 13
just wondering if he's the least seen captain of of the gotei 13, excluding Aizen, Gin, and Tousen (who are now villains). I know Sasakibe is the least seen vice captain/lieutenant. If he is, please add this fact to the article in triva or somewhere.

Tman7776 03:08, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Junk trivia, do not add under any circumstances. Plus "least" is difficult to quantify. Tinni 04:09, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Trivia
Re: The last point regarding Ichigo being the only person to beat his bankai. As far as I'm aware the two have never really met, let alone fought. When did this occur? TomServo101 13:40, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

This happened in the 3rd movie, that part should probably be specified because in the Manga Komamura stands undefeated in bankai mode as I believe he used his Shikai against Aizen. I'll make the change. Tinni 13:43, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Just as I was about to modify the trivia, it occurred to me that Komamura's was "defeated" while in Bankai during the latest anime arc when his zanpakuto turned against him. Then I thought to myself, is this really a worthwhile trivia? Do we go around listing when captains bankais are defeated? I mean if this is trivia worthy shouldn't we go add to Tosen's article that Kenpachi is the only one to defeat Tosen's bankai. Should we go mention that Aizen is the only one to conclusively defeat Hitsugaya in bankai (he eventually won against Shawlong, Luppi and let's call his fight against Harribel a stalemate) and that Soifon never won with bankai... at this point I decided that trivia wasn't much of trivia and just removed it. I hope no one has any complaints about that. Tinni 13:50, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Junk trivia clean-up
removed trivia


 * Komamura is also one of the three current captains who doesn't appear during the Turn Back The Pendulum Mini-Series. The other two are Kenpachi Zaraki and Tōshirō Hitsugaya.

Obvious from that fact he doesn't have a Turn back the pendulum arc synopsis and the "one of" type trivia have been deemed junk.


 * Komamura is the only current Captain (counting both the manga and anime) who has not interacted with Ichigo Kurosaki or any of his friends.

Irrelevant and Komamura did interact with Ichigo during the 3rd movie and was present when he was being sent back to the living world, along with Unohana, Byakuya and Ukitake (see episode 63, 39:33).

Lastly, is it worth noting that the Komamura identified himself a "wolf" to Yachiru in the colourful bleach chapters? I ask because I noticed the "fox or dog" debate earlier and well, they are both wrong. He's a wolf, in fact what he said to Yachiru was "I am a wolf, not a dog, Yachiru" (Yachiru calls him Doggie). Tinni 04:08, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

A wolf, eh? Could it be that he's a sort of werewolf? It'd explain some of his rejection issues. TomServo101 15:53, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Could be. I don't know. But it would also explain why he likes mixed breed dogs. I just looked it up and you can't get dog-fox hybrids. Most common mixed breed dogs are all dog-wolf hybrids, less common are dog-coyote and dog-jackal hybrids. Anyway, I do think that it might be a worthy trivia point. I am putting it in. If people think it is junk we can take it ou. Tinni 11:09, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Profile Pic
It has to go because it looks like it's from an older arc and it's not a very good one. I propose the pick on the right from episode 215 as a replacement profile pic. Tinni 23:23, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

I second the notion. This one looks much better. Minato88 23:33, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I am just going to go ahead and change the profile pic because I really can't stand the old one. Tinni 00:17, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
