Profile pics


here are three new options to consider. :)--RexGodwin (talk) 21:21, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

None of these would work. He's not looking into the camera for the first two, and the second one has Orihime's head for it. Besides, I don't see the point of changing something that has absolutely nothing wrong with it. Arrancar109 (Talk)  21:23, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Telsa's status
I believe he should be counted as "deceased". Reference from Chapter 298~Page 6 

Look at the bottom panel. He's bissected in two parts. Blackjohn (talk) 13:34, October 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sign your posts, please. We can't use that as a death reference because he was shown alive after that point. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:18, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

He was shown alive? You mean here? How much more alive is he than Nnoitra in this panel? I don't think the tear in his eye is an indication that he's alive. Those who are wounded/dying usually have a mass of breathing clouds around them. Also his eye is pale dead.Blackjohn (talk) 13:42, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

He had a flashback just pages before that, and cried because of it. However, now that I look at it, his case isn't so different from Yammy's. All of the flags we usually use for death are there, so I suppose you can mention that he's dead in the plot. However, we don't use the actual "Status" section on the infoboxes anymore. Mohrpheus  (Talk)  13:56, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

But in Yammy's case we saw his eyes go completely white. Besides, it seems a bit odd plotwise to kill him at that moment and focus on his death, that doesn't seen so dramatic, when Nnoitra is dying, a much more important character than him. It just doesn't click, imo. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  17:00, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

I don't recall Yammy's eyes going white, he just closed them after chiding his dog, because yeah, he died no doubt about it. Tesla and Nnoitra are dead as well. What indicates that? Pale eyes, not breathing, horribly bissected by Kenpachi. Tesla specifically got his body vertically separated in two friggin parts. Not that Nnoitra's luck was any better, he was literally holding himself in one piece. Anyway, both of them had pools of blood around them, not even twitching, so they're dead. There's not really a reason to keep them in the story, not any espada, maybe Grimmjow and Nel because they're attached to Ichigo, but I doubt Grimmjow's alive anyway. Nnoitra smiled before dying, because it was his dream to give his last breath on his two feet (Character Book 2 explains it). And Tesla, his dream was to serve Nnoitra, so now that he died there's no reason to keep living. He probably struggled to survive while Nnoitra was still alive, but then he gave in to his wounds. Kubo showed his pale eyes for a reason, and he even censored Tesla's wounds, so it's enough to call him "deceased". Blackjohn (talk) 21:30, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thing is that we don't know if he did give in to his wounds. As far as I know, dead people can't cry. If that panel hadn't been shown, I would be all in for calling him deceased. The manga or the anime don't show if he's breathing or not. And Yammy's eyes did go completely white (there was a huge discussion upon it). As for his use on the story, it's beyond me, why keep Gatenbainne Mosqueda alive, I'd ask? But that one is undoubtedly alive even if he apparently serves no purpose. What I mean is it seems too ambiguous and it has always been like that, which is why we've kept his status as unknown. That's how I see it anyway. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  21:47, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

To indicate that someone is wounded but alive, Kubo usually draws a mass of heavy breathing clouds,(i.e Grimmjow ) If they are dead, there are no breathing clouds (Nnoitra, Tesla). People might disagree with me and bring up Gin's case He's mortally wounded, not breathing heavily, but he's alive. I'd say that it's his last moments, since his eyes aren't pale yet, but he died later on. Tesla's eye is clearly pale though, so are Nnoitra's. To be honest I can't see how someone can get up and walk after getting cut in half. Most villains died with (near) bissection. Look here: Starrk, Harribel Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, Zommari What are the chances Tesla will live? Blackjohn (talk) 22:22, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Eyepatch
I was watching the new english dub again just now and I noticed something. In the article it says that it's unkown whether he wears the eyepatch out of respect, or because he really is missing his eye. When he release Veruga, his eyepatch dissapears and you can see that his right eye socket is empty with a scar going over it. There is a really good shot of his face right after his punch gets blocked by Kenpachi. So I think it's safe to say that he wears the eyepatch because he needs it. Any arguments?
