About me
No idea of what I should add here. Just got tired of seeing my name in red letters. Pretty lame, I know. I promise I'll write something at some point.

Just in case you were wondering, no, I won't delete that one. I think it reveals a really silly part of my personality. And I think it's fun.

Well, for the record. Lia Osaka, Lia Schiffer, Lia Lawliet, Lia Nekoi, and possibly 90% of the Lia's you'll find out there, will be almighty me. You'll find me as Lia Lawliet on Anime Paper and DA, Lia-Saber-Shinku on Gendou.com, Lianekoishinkurukia (all damned names were picked!) on Minitokyo, Lia_Osaka92 on FF.Net, Lia_Nekoi on Planet Renders, and Lia Schiffer here and on Mangafox. Yeah, I'm pretty easy to track. And I don't care.

I finally decided to do something here. So I'll start saying that my imaginary friend says that I've got mental problems, but don't mind her, she's just jealous.

I'm just another Bleach fan. OK, that was a BIG lie. I'm an obsessive Bleach fan. There, better. I met the series when the manga was licensed in my country and one of my friends bought volume 1. The more episodes I watched, the more addicted to it I became. I came to a point in which I called my brother (who had bought the anime) and DEMANDED that he brought me the next DVD (after Renji, Hitsugaya and Rangiku release their limiters).

I love chocolate and Bleach. And cats. I'm Mexican, so English is not my mother language. I apologize beforehandedly for any mistake I may have during editing. Also, being a native Spanish speaker, I'll try to help with this Arrancar saga and all the techniques and grammar as much as I can.

I've been angry at Tite Kubo recently for various reasons (beware for spoilers)


 * First thing was Ulquiorra's dead. It just wasn't meant to happen. It just proved that Ichigo as a human isn't strong enough, and that he needs to rely in his beast side to defeat Ulquiorra. And the whole thing of dying by succumbing to his wounds? Then what was the point of the High-Speed Regeneration? No vital organ was damaged. And it was soooo UlquiHimeIchi that I wanted to cry (in frustration). And like... Kubo wants everyone to hate Orihime. Come on! You just can't like someone who screams "HELP ME KUROSAKI-KUN!" and who has spent a hundred chapters just wailing "Kurosaki-kun". It gets annoying at some point.


 * Second thing was Yammy Cero Espada shit. It seems like the dude was out of ideas and said. Well... I'm out of plot twists. Let's take the most stupid character ever and make him the strongest shit. Be ready, next time, Orihime will learn Bankai and Ganju will be the King of Soul Society


 * Third thing was the Hitsugaya-Harribel battle. It's not the kind of battle I was expecting. It was pure physical with a bunch of not-so-impressive techniques on Harribel's part. I was expecting much more from that awesome Resurreccion and the TERCERA ESPADA nonetheless. Hitsugaya's clearly not as strong as Ichigo, yet he's defeating Harribel easier than Ichi did with Ulquiorra. And the flower thing? Could've been more original. It was like "Let's put Ruri'iro Kujaku in the freezer and see what happens?!" The ice clone was also so... absurd. I mean... Kubo... please. Let's get ovet this "No one dies in Bleach". We, Arrancars demand Shinigami blood to pay for Ulquiorra.

Gods that felt so good! I really needed to spit it out of my system.
 * Las thing is that Kubo seems to be forgetting what made Bleach the most magical to me. The background. Since Grimmjow, we have barely seen any background, except for the TBtP (which was pure AWESOMENESS) and the Nnoitra-Nel flashbacks. I was so looking forward to the Ichigo-Ulquiorra fight to see his Resurreccion AND his background. And the only memories he gave us were of the stupid Heart shit. Szayel's background? Obviously too much to ask. Yeah, he got kicked out of the Espada at some point, why? And how did he get his position back? And if the spoiler I read was really a spoiler (not the one on the Spoiler page, but an incidental one), then Harribel will have no background either. And then this is becoming like Saint Seiya, just going on to stronger and stronger guys (you know, like the Twelve House arc? But this is Ten Espada).

My contributions
I have never created an article, my contribution to this Wiki is limited to minor edits, correcting Typo's and that kind of stuff. And Trivias. I love to add statistical kind of info to Trivias. Things like "one of the few to be featured in two manga volumes", "one of the few whose mask..." and that kind of stuff? Yep, that's me. Hate maths, but I find that kind of freak statistics to be pretty interesting.

My contributions

Ulquiorra Cifer
I think my nick speaks for itself. Ulquiorra isn't just my favorite Arrancar but my favorite character of all Bleach (and all anime, possibly). Maybe he reminds me a bit of L from Death Note, and that's why I like him so much (I had a huge crush on L for a pretty LONG time). But I positively think that it was his eyes that caught me. I mean, he seems so dead and his eyes are so beautifully impossibly green and alive... And his Resurreccion, both of them, are on my list of "most amazing, beautiful and perfect things I've seen". And his hair grew longer! That made me oh, so HAPPY! I love long hair! And yes, I'm positively furious at Tite Kubo. I think we could've seen much more of him, I wanted to know more of his powers. I found it pretty funny when he missed the first shot with his Lanza del Relámpago (I saw some joke about that on DA). I also got a bit mad with the change of spelling on his surname, I liked Schiffer better. And for the record, ULQUIHIME is a damned ILLUSION! The Ash-Heart scenes were pure gross fanservice. Ulquiorra belongs to Grimmjow and Grimmjow alone (and myself, sometimes). But really, leaving fangirlism and OTP's aside, I think Ulquiorra doesn't fit with Hime. That's my last word on it. I also loved his outfit, it was awesome! Especially the cloak-like thingy.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Lia loves cats. Grimmjow's a panther. Lia loves long-haired men. Grimmjow's hair goes crazy when he turns into a Cat. Do the math. Besides, his hands turn into PAWS. PAWS! You've gotta love that. I'm also dying to see more of him. I strongly believe that he's still alive... somewhere... eating Whiskas (fine, kidding). His outfit must be one of the hottest of all Espada. I hope we see more of him, I've noticed we don't really get to see Ichigo's enemies really fighting 'coz Ichigo goes Hollow and they lose rather easily, and too soon for us to see their true abilities.

Neliel Tu Oderschvank & Nnoitra Jiruga
While Nel's child form annoyed me to some extent (though I found her a bit funny), her adult form immediatly took the first place of hot girls in Bleach. The way they showed us her 3 was one of the most shocking scenes of the whole series. I loved her Resurreccion, I've always had some fondness for Centaurs. I'm still waiting to see what her role in this war will be, I refuse to believe that it's over for her after fighting Nnoitra. Her love-hate relationship with Nnoitra is one of the most interesting in the series, and I feel sad that they didn't elaborate any further on it. Nnoitra himself is a pretty interesting character, his battle with Kenpachi was pure awesomeness, and his Resurreccion was amazing. Another character from whom I would've loved to see something more. I quote the manga from the pages where he died "Power, he desired. Weakness, he despised. And now, he falls".

Byakuya Kuchiki
Remember what I said about long, black hair? Yeah, simple math. But leaving hair aside, the combination of his kenseikan and his ginpaku kazahana no uzuginu make him look really elegant and... I dunno, he's just got something. They way he speaks and the way he moves caught me since the beginning. Senbonzakura is on my top three zanpakuto (along with Benihime and Sode no Shirayuki). The Senkei and Shukei Hakuteiken are amazing techniques that match Byakuya perfectly! When I read the Pendulum arc, I absolutely LOVED him. He's possibly the most gorgeous teen I've EVER seen. And that smile (look over there >>) they gave him on the anime was the best gift I could've received. The way he protects Rukia while keeping his cold attitude is really lovely. And that thing he told Zommari "I've rescinded your right to live because you aspired to cut my pride with such a dull blade." That was so sweet! (and I'm not into ByakuRuki, by the way). His tag games with Yoruichi are also hilarious. You've gotta love him.

Renji Abarai
I know he's close to being one of the weakest characters, but they way he was introduced, and especially his background make him make it impossible not to love him. I think Tite Kubo has been a real d*ck with Renji, he didn't get to fight a Privaron Espada, thus never had the chance to prepare himself for his battle with Szayel. I mean, he's a Lieutenant who achieved bankai, and yet he appears to be weaker than even Rukia (but I consider Rukia to be of lieutenant level, for the record). I like his relationship with Zabimaru, I get the feeling that he has a deep bond with his zanpakuto. His personality is also very attractive and cool, he's the kind of character that you just can't hate. I think he deserves a chance to have a good fight, 'coz the one against Szayel was simply not fair.

Rukia Kuchiki
Rukia has proved to be one of the most powerful female Shinigamis (not counting Unohana, Soi Fon, Yoruichi or the Vizards). She managed to defeat the 9th Espada and the captain of the Exequias, while four lieutenants couldn't handle Allon. I strongly believe that Ukitake is saving the Lieutenant position for her. I also love her personality, she's so funny! Yet, she's a determined fighter, she cares for her friends and doesn't look down on others just because she's a noble. She doesn't need to have huge boobs to be called beautiful and her eyes seem so strong and gorgeous. Her zanpakutoh is also part of my top three, for it's gorgeous and very powerful.

Kisuke Urahara
I think you must give him the credit for the most misterious character in Bleach. He's had a lot of screentime, we've seen a lot of his past, and the main storyline spins around him, Aizen and Ichigo, yet we know almost nothing about him. Whatever he's got in mind remains a mistery to all of us. And Benihime is my top favorite zanpakutoh since Urahara said she was "Not nice". I'm dying to see her [Benihime's] bankai and her spirit form. Those little bits of his serious side that we've seen, when he apologized to Ichigo and on TBtP, along with how funny he can be, give him an extra point.

Shinji Hirako
I think I must be sincere about this one. I barely noticed Shinji's existence before I read Pendulum. But then I saw his beautiful long hair and I was instantly lovestruck. And so, I started to pay more attention to his personality and what he said and how he acted and he immediately became my second favorite character (along with Urahara, Grimmjow and Byakuya). I just KNOW he deserves much more screentime, and I hope Kubo stops bitchin' around and brings him to the real fighting. One of the things I like the most about him is how he dresses. His style is unique among the Bleach characters, elegant yet trandy. My favorite scene is when he discovers Aizen spying on him and Urahara, and Aizen asks "Since when did you know, sir?", and he answered "Since ya were in yer momma's womb". I'm really looking forward to see what he'll do and the role he and the Vizards will take in the war. That scene with all of them walking out of their hideout, only showing us their backs, made me shiver.

Yoruichi Shihōin
Along with Nel, Yoruichi tops the list for "Hottest girl in Bleach". Her golden eyes are just irresistable and she's simply beautiful! And she's a cat (I think I mentioned cats earlier?). But other than that, her personality is simply charming, and that she could take on Yammy with her bare hands was totally amazing. Her relationship with Urahara, I think, is quite unique among the series, and I'm eager to see them fighting together. I also loved how she mocks Byakuya, it's just hilarious! As for all the exiled Shinigamis, I'm dying to see her fighting for real and with all of her power.

Best of Bleach
There are a series of moments or just "things" that happen that I consider to be the best of all Bleach.

Turn Back the Pendulum mini arc The whole arc was pure awesomeness! Just having Shinji with his beautiful, long hair was enough for me to love all of it. The whole series of events was amazing, and I kept screaming with every page. Seeing Shuuhei, Byakuya and Gin as kids was so cute! And I think we learned a lot of the characters through it. We finally discover why was Urahara banished to earth and a lot about Tessai and Yoruichi. We also got to know the Vizards, and kind of feel and understand their hatred for Shinigamis.

Ulquiorra vs Ichigo fight It was AWESOME. Seeing Ulquiorra fighting for real was a total blessing. I loved all of it! Except for how it ended. I loved Ulquiorra's power and his Resurreccion and Segunda Etapa. The drawing was amazing and all of his dialogues sent chills down my spine. The "This is the true form of despair" is my personal favorite.

Byakuya vs Zommarri fight I think this fight showed us much more about Byakuya than any other. His quick-thinking, his power and his pride. His personality and the extent of his rage. And yet another power for Senbonzakura. Byakuya combined the raw power of his zanpakuto with high-level Kido, something that Shinigamis rarely do. And I loved how he said he "didn't like to use it because that woman taught it to him" speaking of the Utsusemi.

Favorite manga vignettes
The Deathbringer Numbers Just how Halibel reveals her mask and Stark's smile when he says "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm the Primera". Enough said, I was like WTF!

The Sloth p.14

I was astonished and I screamed and went all crazy. Simply awesome.

Azul-Blood Splash When Halibel cut through the fake Hitsugaya. That was amazing! I'm not a rabid Hitsugaya fan, but I think he's cute, and kinda sensed from the beginning of the fight that Shiro-chan wasn't strong enough to defeat Halibel. But my jaw still dropped to the floor when I saw it.

Countdown to the End: 0

Oh god I nearly cried there. How Rukia thanked Byakuya for not looking at her, thus not pitying her. That was soooo IchiRuki! I loved it!

Hoshi to norainu (A star and a Stray Dog)

I loved Renji's hair when it was set free and he screamed in despair after his defeat. That was so... touching. I started liking him at that moment

Fervorous Ferocious

That last page, with Nnoitra locking eyes with Nel and that last sentence "Weakness he despised, power he desired, and now... he falls". I shivered. I decided I loved Nnoitra after that.

The Blade and Me

The whole Urahara-Ichigo fight was amazing, but the fire in Urahara's eyes when he threatened to kill Ichigo was so scary! Though the vignette that I really love the most is the one in which Ichigo stops Benihime with his crumbling zanpakuto and Urahara says that Benihime is "not nice". I liked it because it kind of revealed some of his personality, as zanpakuto's are supposed to be similar to their Shinigamis
