Talk:Ichigo Kurosaki

Appearance
The following passage cites Chapter 461, page 5. However, I've double-checked the corresponding chapter, and nowhere in it does Kugo mention anything about those changes in Ichigo's attire. "After regaining his powers, Ichigo’s Shinigami attire also consists of a thicker strap across his chest. He also has four black vertical lines on his forearms and black, tattoo-like bands crossing over his chest, wrists, and ankles. Similar bands, but with white ends, are around his neck as collars. Kūgo speculated that these changes are influenced from the remaining traces of Ichigo's Fullbring." MarqFJA (talk) 12:52, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Profile Pic For Ichigo
Oops...forgot to do this. I plead ignorance and the fact I only recently joined... Apologies. Big apologies. (If I did anything else wrong, please tell me) I'm not sure about the current profile pic for Ichigo for post-timeskip. He has a "oh look, more idiots" expression on his face. I think something more aesthetically pleasing should be chosen. The Ichigo_pr_pic seems like a good choice, with good quality and shows a bit of his current look off. --Love Psycho (talk) 17:05, April 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Profile pictures are discussed and agreed on at Bleach Wiki talk:Image Gallery before being changed. This was the agreed on pic.--

Stats
Hello, nice to meet you all, I just want to say that Ichigo's blood type is actually AO, and he isnt 5'9" he's 5'7" lol, :P I would fix it myself but being the noob i am i dunno how. -.-' I got the information from " Bleach: official Character book SOULS. "


 * That is outdated information. Volume 53 gave the updated information--


 * Also they are currently on the 3 character book, which has updated the information regarding his stats.-- 00:37, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Base of Operations
Currently, Ichigo's Base of Operations is stated as "Kurosaki House, Mashiba, Karakura Town, Japan, Human World".

However, the map presented in the Karakura Town page indicates that the Kurosaki Clinic, and therefore the Kurosaki House, is located in Minamikawase. Shouldn't it be "Kurosaki House, Minamikawase, Karakura Town, Japan, Human World"?

Visored
Icigo is a Visored, as a race. He may not be a member of the group of Visoreds, but that doesn't make him not one. Silverix (talk) 18:42, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Nevermind, didn't see this was already resolved... Silverix (talk) 18:50, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ichigo lost his Hollow powers when he lost his Shinigami powers. Since regaining his Shinigami powers, he has not displayed Hollow powers again. Until he does, he will not be listed as a Visored.--
 * Full-bring utilises inner hollow powers. We should assume he still has hollow powers as a shinigami due to this, unless shown otherwise shouldn't we? Silverix (talk) 18:55, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Further, Ginjo stated that Ichigo has hollow powers, further reason we should assume he does have them, seems to occur from being a substitute. Silverix (talk) 18:56, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ichigo lost his Fullbring and it was never stated how Ichigo could use Fullbring. We aren't going to assume anything, thats speculation.--
 * Why are you assuming he lost his hollow powers? It was only said he lost his shinigami powers. Ginjo SAID he has hollow powers. I think we shouldn't assume ginjo was wrong. Silverix (talk) 18:59, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Further, hollow powers are just side effects of being a hollow, he is half hollow, that wouldn't disappear due to a technique which uses up all his shinigami powers. Silverix (talk) 19:01, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ichigo's inner Hollow and Zanpakuto spirit merged before his fight with Aizen. By using the final getsuga tensho, Ichigo lost his Shinigami powers, the same powers that had merged with his Hollow powers. Ichigo was powerless for 17 months. We are making no assumptions here. Ichigo has not displayed Hollow powers so we will not list them. Should the time come when he does display Hollow Powers, it is an easy change. Discussion closed.--

The "thousands of years" Jinzen misconception
I'd like to point out that the article for Ichigo in the section "advanced growth rate" states that Ichigo has "mastered Jinzen in 3 months" while it takes "even the most talented Shinigami thousands of years". What Isshin meant by the "thousands of years" comment is that Jinzen is a technique that has been studied, perfected and honed on principle over thousands of years, not that it takes thousands of years to complete for any given individual. That even Yamamoto himself is older than circa 2000 years is rather unreasonable, and I doubt there's anything more he can learn about his Zanpakuto.

Furthermore, if the mastery of Jinzen can be reflected in one's Bankai changing shape, then Ichigo's sole reign in this matter will soon be overthrown, since Kubo stated in a recent interview that "Renji's Bankai has already changed". We'll probably see it even in the very next chapter, and if not, very soon anyway.

Even counting out the above paragraph, I hope you get my point. I propose removing the comparison and replacing it with something like "He completed Jinzen in an unusually short period of time" or something. Please comment. Xfing (talk) 16:41, June 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually what was meant is well known, if thats what you took it to mean from what is stated in the article then the article should be updated to better word the explanation given. --
