You said you were confused about Tousen's Resurrecion?
It turns out that Grillar is a Catalan word, part of a language mostly spoken in and around the Pyrenees Mountains.

grillar [greel-lyar’] verb neuter: 1. To chirp or squeak (grillo). (n) verb reflexive: 2. To shoot, to sprout.

any idea what the deal is about his resurreccion? i mean he's a soul reaper so he should only have a mask.Soul reaper magnum 02:30, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

At your request (and to supplement the good start Soul reaper magnum gave you above), I happened to, in my excitement over this chapter's events, have focused much attention on these questions. First off, you do seem indeed correct yourself, Minato, that "Suzumushi Hyakushiki" is just like saying "Suzumushi Tsuishiki" before unleashing his Bankai. Here's the breakdown:

清虫百式: 狂枷蟋蟀 (グリジャル・グリージョ)

Suzumushi Hyakushiki: Gurijaru Gurījo

"Suzumushi Hundred Style: Grillar Grillo"

Suzumushi (lit. "bell worm/bug") is Japanese for the insect native there which we call the "bell cricket." Grillar Grillo is Spanish for "chiming/chirping cricket," whereas its underlying kanji (as occur also with all Arrancar Zanpakutou) mean "crazed/mad shackle(s)/bond(s) cricket"; in fact, the "crazed/mad" kanji 狂 also occurs in Katen Kyou kotsu, and the "cricket" part, 蟋蟀, is koorogi, same as in Enma Koorogi.

Grillo is traced to Latin gryllus, from Greek grúllos, "a cricket, grasshopper"; grillar from Latin gryllāre, grillāre, "to (make the sound of a) cricket, chirp," a verb derived from this noun. The Royal Academy of Spanish even cites that grillar is sometimes used as a synonym for cantar, "to sing," as well as "to (produce) sound(s)" in general. It's also worth noting that whereas most times, Resurrección (帰刃 (レスレクシオン) Resurekushion) has the underlying kanji "return blade," when Tousen says "Resurrección" in this ch. 385, the underlying kanji are "sword release" (刀剣解放 (レスレクシオン))--exactly as they were in the underlying kanji of Ulquiorra's Resurrección (Segunda Etapa)!

As far as how Tousen can perform Resurrección, nothing concrete and canon is known for sure so far. But it has inspired me to wonder, and here's my theory (though this is all conjecture--and so can't be used in any actual article--I hope you like it):

A Plus > a Hollow by losing their hearts and being consumed by the dark side of their soul. Without a heart, they cannot manifest a Zanpakutou (a "sword of the heart/soul"), so they may only gain power by cannibalizing other Hollows--but they cannot regain the ability to get a true Zanpakutou. If the Hollow > an Arrancar, they regain some rationality, and they can seal their natural Hollow powers into a kind of "fake Zanpakutou" (i.e. without a soul like old man Zangetsu actually in it) when they don't want to use these powers. When they do want to use their true form and its powers, they perform Resurrección.

However, if a Plus > a Shinigami, they keep their heart and can manifest a Zanpakutou, then advance (if strong enough) from Shikai to Bankai.

The Visored are the second type, so they can keep their hearts--and so use Shikai and Bankai of a true Zanpakutou--as well as, thanks to being half-Hollowfied by Aizen's trickery, use a mask and some Hollow powers. However, as they told Ichigo, they can wield their Hollow powers without losing to their inner Hollows because they suppress their inner Hollows, "crushing them down into their souls." Thus, they may, as a result of the suppression, be using only the tip of the iceberg in terms of their Hollow potential.

Now we come to Tousen, apparently made a true/perfect hybrid by exposure to the Hougyoku. He could be called a "super-Visored." In him, we may be seeing what would happen if a Visored, instead of suppressing their inner Hollow and so limiting the amount of its power they can tap-- mastered/embraced their inner Hollow, and thus gained all of its potential power! And it seems that if a Visored does embrace their inner Hollow, the inner Hollow's Resurrección--or unleashing of its full, enhanced power--is absorbed into their true, Shinigami's Zanpakutou and almost becomes an alternate Bankai.

Developments with Ichigo are also highly suggestive. Didn't his inner Hollow claim "I am Zangetsu!" ? Didn't Ichigo transform into a new, berserk Hollow form with incredible power? It does seem that true hybrids--made with the Hougyoku or not--or those on the way to becoming true hybrids see their inner Hollow's maximum potential and its twin, their Zanpakutou's power, fuse together.

Here's a breakdown of my theory (in the below items, "~" means "analogous to/the equivalent of," but not "is exactly like/equal to"):

Shinigami's Asauchi (nameless Zanpakutou) = Hollow's Menos evolution(s) = Visored's forced Hollowfaction first step toward power, though still raw, not fully tapped, and uncontrollable

Shinigami's Zanpakutou manifestation/name-learning = Hollow's Arrancarifaction = Visored's learning to keep control achieving stability and the chance to access the power

Shinigami's Shikai = Arrancar's Resurrección = Visored's mask unsealing of power into its natural state so they may use it freely

Shinigami's Bankai = Arrancar's Resurrección Segunda Etapa = True Hybrid's Resurrección enhancing the natural state's power to new heights

Thus a true hybrid like Tousen now seems to be able, theoretically, to use a Shinigami's full arsenal--Shikai, Bankai, Shunpo, Kidou, etc.-- and a Hollow/Arrancar's full arsenal--Resurrección, Sonido, Cero, ultra-fast regeneration etc.--even without starting off as a Hollow first. The Visored probably could, too, if they dared to embrace or conquer their inner Hollows completely, instead of just suppressing them.

Hope this answers your questions/gives you food for thought, so let me know your thoughts. Sorry for the length, but this chapter has revved me up and fired my imagination! Hope to here from you soon. Thrilling stuff! :) Adam Restling 12:07, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

I think the point is being missed and getting alot of speculative when there is already information present.


 * Shinigmai - zanpakuto (shikai, bankai)


 * Hollow


 * Arrancar - zanpakuto (Resurrección)


 * Vizard - Zanpkauto (shikai, bankai) Hollowfication


 * Shinigami-Hybrid - zanpakuto (shikai, bankai) hollowfication, Resurrección

Whether the vizard are capable of it is a obvious, they are. We have seen it before Kensei and Mashiro weren't hollows 100 years ago that was a inner hollow controlled Resurrección similar to Ichigo during his fight with Ulquiorra. Whether they have attained control over it in the past 100 years is something we dont know, obviously ichigo hasn't. As well anyone can assume alot but the point being that Resurrección: Segunda Etapa was only seen once and only referred to one character. Despite the fact that it carries itself as a plot device, it was somewhat useless besides forcing ichigo into a more powerful form. Also All the Espada above Ulquiorra didn't possess one and they're all dead. So its quite clear what it was used for, at this point the use of it would be unnecessary to further the plot (as ichigo isn't strong enough not to use it every fight as he constantly uses bankai and hollowfication every fight). Also an espada's Resurrección is shown to be more then enough to take on most captains (in some cases even with bankai being used), furthering the point. The idea behind arrnacar is to attain access to shinigami like abilities (sonido, humanoid shape, pseudo zanpakuto) but thats where its stops apparently they are by in large still hollows and their release is enough to reflec that they dont need more levels. Even the shikai and bankai its more a way of separating captains from lower seats as the shingiami exist in a more formalized military, where the espada are only partially organized and tolerant of the organization seemingly created by aizen. They are noticeably antagonistic even to each other in or out of the ranking system.

Also the way this works is simple as determined by ichigo's advancement. In any shingiami there is their zanpakuto spirit in their inner world. It is the source of their power if your dealing with a vizard they have attained hollow powers and therefore they then have a inner hollow. Hollow ichigo once explained to ichigo while in the inner world, he is zangetsu. that he and Zangetsu were originally one being, as both are the source of Ichigo's power and Hollow Ichigo was part of Zangetsu. Although they both share one physical body, if the master and servant exchange roles, the form changes as well. As Hollow Ichigo's power grew control was transferred to him and Zangetsu became a part of him. Therefore the more Ichigo tries to draw out Zangetsu the easier it gets for Hollow Ichigo to take over Ichigo's soul. Ichigo realizing if Hollow Ichigo is defeated will put Zangetsu back into control. With that information we can note that to be the case with all vizards, hence to attain the position they release their zanpakuto like we have seen so many arrancar do. It is another release the difference is instead of bringing out the power of the zanpakuto spirit your bringing out the power of the inner hollow. From the information that would have it be more like this:


 * Shingimai - Zanpakuto (shikai, bankai)


 * Arrancar - Zanpakuto (Resurrección) Ulquiorra -Zanapkuto (Resurrección, Resurrección: Segunda Etapa)


 * Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid/Vizard - Zanpakuto (shikai, bankai, Resurrección) Hollowfication

Sorry for the long extension on the conversation. Salubri 19:50, December 11, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Minato for your thanks (?! Thanks overload! XD). Also, if you use say a browser like Firefox, open the " V iew" drop-down menu at the top of the browser window, and there should be a " Z oom" option to maybe allow you too see certain characters better. I know one of your earlier messages mentioned the difficulty your small screen gives you :).

@ Salubri - yeah, not much is known about these recent developments that counts as canon, that's why I was careful to preface most of my ideas with "this is all conjecture" or the like. All my theories and reasons behind this tenuous conjecture can be found in the data I posted above, as well as in related posts. We have no way of knowing, for example, if Segunda Etapa is the Hollow analogue of Bankai--which takes many years for most Shinigami to achieve--because all the Arrancar we know haven't had many years to live! XD Adam Restling 07:37, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Hence it being a plot device it serves no other purpose, there was no true leap in power besides becoming even more hard for ichigo to handle which he already was before its release, hence only something to push the envelope create the desperation and take it to another level to justify ichigos change. Not to mention time cant be a factor for it not only was he the 4th but he couldn't feasibly be any older then say barragan or starrk and Ulquiorra was the only one with it. As i stated if those of greater power then him doesn't have it then how significant can it be. We also have a tendency to ascribe the release as something of greater power because its a second release amongst those with only one. The issue here is we dont know that and cant ulquiorra has only seriously fought ichigo so we can only determine that it was more powerful then him we have nothing to prove he is anything but more then a match for ichigo. Unless its used again it seems to be a moot point to even include it when it pretains to only one character who states that he is the only one capable of it.

Re:Vizard is a race
Hello I'm Cococrash11 can you help me convince that in the Talk:Vizard or Talk:Kaname Tosen that Vizard is a race. --Cococrash11 07:49, December 12, 2009 (UTC)Coccorash11

Sure Tosen and Shinji's group are very diffrent but they are both still half Hollow. Beside you said Tosen's Hollow power is diffrent then Shinji's group well what about Ichigo's his hollow power is also way diffrent then Shinji's group when he fought the 4th Espada(I don't know how to spell his name) and he's still called a Vizard. Beside maybe Shinji's group haven't revealed all their Hollow power and I still think Tosen is a Vizard. --Cococrash11 23:03, December 12, 2009 (UTC)Cococrash11

Name Change
I'm not positive, but I think the new user who made that forum wants to change "Jaegerjaquez" to "Jeagerjaquez", which would be an incorrect change (I reverted her edit of this earlier). Still, if she does, tell her that "Jaegerjaquez" is proven to be correct, and for proof, this page:.

I know you already know this, but if she asks, this is the reason why, in addition to what I said on the forum. Arrancar109 06:30, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you.Salubri (Talk)  23:09, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

Actually burst is not confirmed as of yet. So as far as the discussion it is closed cause i dont feel like arguing but ask adam to get some translation on what we currently have and find the raw for that particular chapter as well as the the one she initially releases against gin and is stopped by izuru. the reference is on the zanpkauto. Salubri (Talk)  08:06, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Tosen
Actually the Resureccion is an action of a zanpakuto similar to how a arrancar's release. Hollowfication is only used as a term to donning a hollow mask. So its acutally listed under zanpakuto just like the arrancars are.Salubri (Talk)  17:07, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Im not sure what you mean exactly. Salubri (Talk)  17:26, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Well chad has a need help category which i put there cause he is lacking alot or references and the page needs to be overhauled in general. As for the forum thing i had nothing to do with that. Also categories have to be added manually. Salubri (Talk)  17:38, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Momo Hinamori
Yep, both raws for the pages you indicated use 弾け hajike. This is the imperative/command form of hajiku "flip, snap" (tr.), i.e. "flip, snap, or strike something else." Tr(ansitive) and intr(ansitive)--and forgive me if you already know this--indicate action directed at something else, versus not at something else. For example, breaks is transitive in he breaks the cup (i.e. he made the cup break) versus intransitive in the vase breaks (i.e. the vase itself broke).

Hajiku, thus, means "flip, snap, strike (at)"; its intransitive/passive form hajikeru means "split or burst (open), pop." It's probably from confusion or, more likely, greater license with this other intepretation "burst" that resulted in the translations you were asking about.

As for hajiku, command form hajike itself, though, the most usual translation would be "snap" or "flip". Whichever you think is best. Interesting side-note: the infinitive-gerund form of this verb, hajiki, is used also for "(metal) spring" (< "things that flips, pushes (up), repels"). Adam Restling 17:39, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Mayuri Reference
I think Eliskuya2 was acting in good faith there. The reference he removed was not added properly in the first place & wasn't helpful. Instead of being added with the text it was referencing, it was added separately under the references heading, so there's no way of knowing what it is actually referring to, making it pretty much useless. I've gone back through the edit history to see if I can find what it was added with, but no luck so far. -- Yyp  (Talk)  17:55, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's okay - we all have to start somewhere. I'm surprised it had lasted so long there, but I've added it in the correct place. By the way, I saw in your conversation with Salubri above that you are marking pages for deletion by adding the candidates for deletion category. Is that right?

Committee Initiation
Hey Minato, before you go ahead with the initiation, I just wanted to tell you that you should give candidates the option to do manga chapter summaries if they don't have access to the anime episodes. I mean, asking them to download the anime episodes afresh if they don't already have them is a bit much. So you should offer them the option of doing manga chapter summaries instead, because manga chapters are easily accessible online. However, to be fair, they would have to do about 8 manga chapters as the are much shorter then anime episodes. They can do the 8 chapters from either the "current volume" or the "alternative volume" that the volume summary project is working on. They can also do some from the current volume and some from the alternative volume. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Tinni 18:49, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

While You Were Away...
Hi Minato. Hope you had a good break. Since you were away for a few days, I thought I'd bring you up to speed on some of the things that have happened since you last posted.
 * 1) Bleach 387 was released on Christmas Day, in case you missed it. So that means no Bleach (manga or anime) for about 2 weeks.
 * 2) Salubri has been updating the navigation templates, making them take up much less space. You can see the new ones on most character pages, though there are still some that have not be changed.
 * 3) Salubri has also made a new template for use on the talk page to tell others that your away (Template:Inactive) - I guess that would only be for when your away for a while, not just a day or two.
 * 4) You've probably noticed that the featured article vote is open.
 * 5) Tosen's page was briefly unlocked, and then placed back under protection due to edit war. I've added it to the list of high-risk articles on the Committee page, as it will need monitoring during the times when it is open for editing.
 * 6) On the Committee front, we've had a few more applicants: User:GODKING OF ICE CERBERUS WERE-GARURUMON, User:Nwang2011, User:KiranTheBoi, and User:SerialSniper14. Due to the jump in interest, Tinni has made a suggestion that the existing Committee members screen applicants (link to exact location on the Committee Page).
 * 7) Nwang2011 and SerialSniper14 have been helping out with the reference project. They've done a few articles between them (Iceringer & Demora are the only ones I remember off hand).

That's all that I can think of atm. I'm sure I missed a fair bit, but that's what happens when you have such a busy wiki. Welcome back. -- Yyp  (Talk)  23:06, December 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * No worries. Whenever you are ready. Everyone deserves a break around this time of year. As I thought, I forgot to mention a couple of things. You've already spotted the extra seat for the Committee. I've update the adminship request page with reasons why people have been declined (I admit that should have been done sooner).

Yes I think all committee members should have a say about who get's to join and who doesn't. Just because we all have to work with each other and it should be a inclusive process. Of course this might change in the future when we have more seated officers. But given that there is only three of us at the moment.... we should all have a say.

Re: Ichigo and Rukias Relationship and Kids?
Yup, and I'm getting sick of things like that. Why do people think this is a fanfic/pairing site? I could tolerate it as a blog, but I know it is not going to get many (if any) responses on the forums. I'm ranting now, so I better stop before I get carried away. -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:25, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Kanji
I don't know. I get what you mean about there already being links in the summary, but some of the characters don't get mentioned in the summary and are only listed in the CIOOA section (due to them just being in the background or whatever reason). I think the translations are needed for the Kido spells - as a lot of people would only know the English name for them & wouldn't recognize them from the Kanji - but I don't think it is necessary for the characters. That's just my opinion. Maybe ask Tinni, Mohrpheus, etc and see what they think. -- Yyp  (Talk)  17:39, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Re:References removal glitch
Nope. Not a word. It happened to someone today as well. I'll find the history of it and add it to what I posted before. Although since nobody has responded, it seems that maybe no other wiki's are experiencing the issue. Btw, thanks for tracking those Kido references down. -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:25, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you.
Thank you for informing me of my mistake with the image. I did not know of the new rules. The problem has been taken care of, please let me know if there is something wrong with my fix. Thanks!

I added earlier on and it worked fine (and I just added it back in). Looking at the edit history, it seems he edited it after I added it and deleted the "|" from the template, causing it to not work. Anyway, nice to see someone does listen about the rationale tags. Thanks for pointing it out. -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:25, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem. -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:33, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Committee Nominations
Thanks. I put that up on the admin page. How are the two initiations going? -- Yyp  (Talk)  13:40, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, it's a bad time of year for this, but things should settle down now. I know Gold updated the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc page this morning and it was good. You can designate some summaries you want done, though maybe give some room - if they have to do 5 anime summaries, give them a choice of 8 to pick from or something like that. In the case of Tom, I gather that he prefers the anime, but with Gold, perhaps ask him whether he would prefer to do anime/manga/both and select some according to that. About SerialSniper14, I don't know anything about him/her and I haven't seen them at any of the other wikis I've visited (though that's not very many tbh), but yeah, (s)he seems really good. Going by their edit count summary [] (type the username in there), s/he doesn't edit elsewhere. -- Yyp  (Talk)  14:20, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I changed it on the admin page. He seems quite dedicated, and doing those summaries will give us an idea of how he handles the bigger jobs, which is something we need. I'll wait to see how he gets on, but I think I'll be changing my vote from neutral to support. -- Yyp  (Talk)  19:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'd like to wait for her too, but without knowing when she'll be back, it's difficult given how long the nominations have been under consideration. The vote stands at 3 in favour for each of them, and while I hate to prejudge what she has to say, I doubt she would disagree that much. And if she does, it is not a problem to remove a member if her concerns are serious enough. -- Yyp  (Talk)  16:37, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Namikaze congrats on gathering your committee members looks like they're up to it.-- SalmanH  (Talk)  17:24, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Powers and Abilities sections in the anime project
You might wanna revise the way you list the powers and abilities in the some of these anime episodes. I was just looking at '''Aizen Assassinated! The Darkness which Approaches''' and it has momo's unnamed technique. Maybe your getting a little to specific with that, seeing as not every technique from a zanpakuto is gonna have a name necessarily. In this case just stating that she used her zanpakuto is enough. <font color="4169E1" size="2px">Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  07:06, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Well you can probably remove Getsuga Tensho as a link thats gonna be deleted as a page regardless. As for Ichigo's hollow form thats not really a technique or anything so im sure that can be listed and there is no link for high speed regeneration. <font color="4169E1" size="2px">Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  16:16, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

committee wannabe box
... I don't know what to say about the Template:CommitteeWannabe thing. I guess I should commend SerialSniper14 initiative in creating the box but at the same time I am not all that comfortable with random boxes being created with the Policy & Standards Committee name on it without us being asked about it first. I guess I'll leave it alone. No harm, no foul and he's the only one using it. I'll bring it up on the committee page though. Tinni  (Talk)  12:43, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

User:KiranTheBoi
Hey, just on second thought. Hold of saying anything to User:KiranTheBoi. I am asking Yyp to formally announce the results of the admin deliberations. It is best we start contacting committee nominees after the formal announcement. Tinni  (Talk)  13:28, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

It's fine. I was more concerned about people we are going to refuse then people we are considering accepting. So don't worry about it but you might want to get to know User_talk:SerialSniper14 anyway since he is starting to help with the anime project. Tinni  (Talk)  13:59, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, Yyp says it's an official no on KiranTheBoi. So please go ahead and let KiranTheBoi know the results. I will modify the committee page for reflect the decision. Tinni  (Talk)  15:32, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Omake characters
Sorry. I just saw it in many other episodes and I thought it was okay. I won't do it again. Weedefinition 16:54, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

I don't have to pass it through you. Of course I don't remember exactly what episodes they were right now, but when and if I'll see them again I can get rid of them myself and explain the policy in the summary. Save you some work ;) Weedefinition 18:38, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

While we're on the topic of omake characters, Yyp said he has been adding Omake characters at the end of the "Characters In Order of Appearance" list at the end of Episode Summaries. So I've been doing the same, but I see you removed the Omake character from the Tragedy of Dawn Episode. Should I not add those characters at the end with (Omake) by their names? If so, just let me know so I can go back and fix some prior edits. SerialSniper14 14:41, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I misunderstood what he was referring to. I had been adding them for the episode summaries I did for the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales arc (episodes 237-248), but there was no omake section at the time. They can be taken out now that there is an omake section for them. -- Yyp  (Talk)  15:08, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Renji Profile Image
Hey Minato. You mentioned on Renji's talk page that there might be a good image of him to use for the profile picture in Ep 243 about 18:40 in. I checked that, but couldn't find him in that episode (it was Kira Vs Kazeshini at the 18min mark). By any chance, do you still remember which one it was? -- Yyp  (Talk)  11:23, January 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll see if I can download the episode later today & get a proper quality image. Looking at clips of it on youtube, I think I might be able to get a daylight pic of Kazeshini, which would be a nice bonus. -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:53, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Hey, just wondering if the custom signature was an admin privilege and available for myself either as a user or committee member. Obviously I won't use a huge font or anything, but just wondering. SerialSniper14 17:36, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

No problem and as for the signature thanks but I already found the way for it to redirect to the SJ wiki but since I'm also a regular on this wiki it would be great to be redirected to the wiki I'm on and I think I may have tried to make it a dual link once but unfortunately it's not possible. On the other hand it is best for people to find me on my home site that would also get more people onto the wiki since it desperately needs committed members anyway I apologise for rambling and once again congratulations.-- Salman  (Talk)  18:06, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Shinji's Page & Blackwolf99
Sorry, I was getting fed up of undoing edits that added that (despite having put in a comment saying that it is already mentioned), so I figured I'd let it stay on the talk page & make a point out of it. -- Yyp  (Talk)  16:41, January 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, if you want to ask one of us to move it, that's fine. I don't really have a problem with you doing it (or Tinni who has done it as well) if it is something that is clearly not belonging there (so long as it is just being moved to the correct place and the poster is informed of it) as it is just keeping things in line with the policies. -- Yyp  (Talk)  16:58, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Divisions
Yeah, all the other pages also that that out of world or line. At the time it seemed like a good idea :( I have done 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. I am also adding a recruitment section under which the recruitment fair thing will sit. But mind you, some of the information on the "recruitment criteria" for the divisions is downright confusing and very weird. 3rd Divisions recruitment criteria seems to be "masochists on whom Captain Ichimaru can take out his sadism" -.- I would put that down but I don't think people would believe me that, that's basically what's written in Bootlegs. Tinni   (Talk)  17:18, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

It's not that simple because Kubo doesn't come outright and say that the 3rd division is full of masochists. You really have to read the entire 3rd division section to get the picture. Which is why I went with the slightly modified version of what's actually written: "The gentlemen of the 3rd division are contrary, and they have the kind of attitude that enjoys that mean-spiritedness". Anyway, the section has been translationed here: if you want to go read it. The bootleg is coming out in english in July, apparently. I wonder how the section on 3rd division is going to get translated by Viz. Tinni  (Talk)  17:50, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
