Talk:Isshin Kurosaki

Head of the Shiba Clan?
Did i read wrong, or wasn't he head of a branch family of the Shiba House, not the main family??? Gojita (talk) 11:44, March 6, 2013 (UTC)Gojita

Your are 100% correct there is not error in translation Kubo is pulling a Naruto and having the main protagonist Ichigo take his mothers last name.


 * It apparently stating that he is of a branch of the Shiba family and is likely the head of that branch of the family. In Japanese nobility it basically works that the sons of a noble house are given lesser titles and houses to head as the main assets go to the first born male. This would insinuate that Isshin is a younger son if he is the head of branch family. This would also mean that his older brother is head of the main family.--


 * @Kubo is pulling a Naruto: Do also note that it's not unknown in real life Japan for a man to take his wife's family name, especially if her family is higher on the social ladder than his or he's been cast out of his family. Depending on the exact circumstances of Isshin's disappearance (which obviously will be touched upon in the next few chapters, and probably will involve Aizen, since he's been shown in the newest chapter), it may turn out that he has a good reason for taking Masaki's family name upon marrying her.

Education
Isshin's education section is listed as "N/A". But consider this: Kenpachi Zaraki is the only Shinigami captain who didn't study at the Shinnō Academy and one cannot legally practice medicine without a license. Can someone please change the section to read "Shinnō Academy and Doctorate"? Steveo920, March 13, 2013, 17:44

Steve-o, in all likelihood, you are correct, but we like to wait until its officially confirmed.-- 21:48, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Family
Should we update the family section to include Kaien, Kukaku and Ganju Shiba as family? --Mseevers (talk) 14:00, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

No, we are not overloading his family section in the infobox with secondary family members.--

Shikai
The release command is "burn", but it's hard to tell from a black and white image if that energy is really fire. Will-O-Wisp (talk)


 * Thats true. We will need to see from later chapters if this what it does is able to be determined until then we will simply place the release command. Thanks for the look out.--

Could someone also please add that the same energy also flows from the tassel attached to the sword's hilt? Blackstar1 (talk) 15:49, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and put it in. The description as is was a little short anyway. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:22, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

It is fire after all. Definitely looks like it in Chapter 532. Also, this blood-sucking-fire-spitting ability. Is it the power of Isshin's shikai or a Kido of some sort? Will-O-Wisp (talk)

Bankai
And finally, we have a bit of information about Isshin's bankai! According to Aizen, it is "quite a burden on his body." Apparently, he can't use it when he's wounded too badly. It's something. Will-O-Wisp (talk)

It is enough to add as a note to his Bankai. We have done similar with Kisuke and Shunsui's. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  12:21, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
