Arturo Plateado

is an Arrancar designed by Sega, in conjunction with Tite Kubo, specifically for Bleach: Shattered Blade.

Character Outline
Arturo has long turquoise hair, wane pupil-less eyes, and the remains of his hollow mask on his right cheek, his appearance almost mimicking Grimmjow's. It appears to be the jaw, but is extended around the back of his head. His hollow hole is located below the base of his neck. Recently, he makes his appearance in Bleach: The 3rd Phantom for Nintendo DS.

Synopsis
Arturo is a powerful, self-made arrancar so old that he is only recognized by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai and Yoruichi Shihōin via her family's scrolls. Two thousand years prior to current Bleach canon, he stormed Soul Society and was sealed beneath the Sōkyoku. When the Sōkyoku was destroyed during Ichigo's rescue of Rukia Kuchiki at the end of the Soul Society arc, the seal on Arturo was broken and he was freed once again. In the game, he decides to impersonate various figures from captains to Zanpakutō spirits to trick others into regaining the pieces of the destroyed Sōkyoku in order to absorb them into his body and become more powerful. Depending on the game's outcome, he is either purified and defeated or obtains the Sōkyoku and carries on to decimate the Soul Society.

In the game, you have the choice of playing as Ichigo Kurosaki, Renji Abarai, Tōshirō Hitsugaya, Yoruichi Shihōin, Kenpachi Zaraki, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Hanatarō Yamada in story mode. After you beat all of those you can play as Arturo, which he begins to take revenge on Soul Society.
