Talk:Marechiyo Ōmaeda

New pic
Since everybody is getting a picture upgrade. How about Ōmaeda? I got a pic from Episode 215. It's not the best but as I explained it is the only high quality episode that I have that is suitable for this kind of task. Tinni 21:43, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Well, it gets full marks for image quality, but I wouldn't want it as a profile pic. I'll add it to the list to keep an eye out for. --Yyp 23:53, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sadly, I can't find any with a better facial expression. Hard to find any usable ones at all. This is the best one I could find (from Fade to Black (I was looking for Renji pics)). Good image quality, but the expression is a bit, well, you can see for yourself. --Yyp 10:42, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Never did find a better image of him. I say go with the episode 215 picture until we find something better. It is still better than the current image. -- Yyp (Talk) 22:32, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since nobody has objected, I'll go ahead and use the above image for now. Hopefully we'll get a decent shot of him soon(-ish). -- Yyp (Talk) 11:07, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

Seeing that Ōmaeda is in order for a new profile picture, I will throw in some choices (if they are better than the one from Episode 215). Though these images are with Ōmaeda from fighting Nirgge Parduoc Mr. N 03:42, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

None of these would work. Pics with battle-worn mugshots are never used. I'm not sure if you recall, but someone tried to put up a pic with Grimmjow after he received numerous injuries from fighting Ichigo. I'm not sure if this was before our policy or not, but the pic was rejected because it was of a character that was clearly battle-worn. If anything, I'd go with the one on 215. Seems decent enough to me. Arrancar109 (Talk)  05:09, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

I see. I understand then. By the way, if it is not already recorded in the Official Policy, this little thing about profile pictures not being battle-worn should be.Mr. N 06:17, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it. If it's not there, I'll propose it to the other administrators. Still, thanks for trying. It's better to have some selected options than just one, in case a few members have a problem with the only choice presented. Arrancar109 (Talk)  06:32, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think I have a pretty good one from ep. 273, but it's of low quality. Pic won't show for some reason, click it to see it WD   Talk to me  13:22, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oh. I forgot to add the size for the thumbnail. Silly me! WD  Talk to me  15:55, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Good angle, but we do not use pictures where the character is battle worn. Yyp (Talk) 19:51, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

I see :( It's Ironic though that a character like Omaeda has an image thrown out for him being battle worn, so that's a plus. WD   Talk to me  19:12, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

New English VA in Fake Karakura Arc
In episode 215 Omaeda sounded a lot like Travis Willingham. I also compared it with other episodes where Omaeda spoke and he does sound different now.Jade Cooper (talk) 16:57, July 31, 2011 (UTC)Jade Cooper

Omaeda should have Enhanced Durability
During his fight with Nirgge Parduoc in episode 223, Omaeda showed a great amount of durability. After Nirgge threw him through a building and the said building collapsed on the vice-captain, Omaeda lifted some rubble off himself and revealed that he only had a few scratches. He then commented that he had always been pretty durable, even as a kid. Afterward, Nirgge used his trunk to slam Omaeda into the ground, creating a small crater. Dispite this, Omaeda got right back up almost as if nothing happened. On both accassions after his Captain performed her bankai, Omaeda cushioned her fall with his body taking subtancial physical force. Not to mention the fact that he endures the physical pain inflicted upon him by Sui-feng on a regual basis. Spiritwarrior (talk) 23:31, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Expert Swordsmenship????
Omaeda hasn't shown any skill at all in swordsmanship. In fact, the only time he uses his zanpacto in it's un-released state in battle is when he tried hitting Nirgge Parduoc repeatedly to no avail and when he cut off Soifon's arm. I believe his powers and abilities should be changed to say "Flail specialist" since he has shown a great deal of skill using his shikai. Spiritwarrior (talk) 23:31, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Enhanced Strength
During his fight with Nirgge Parduoc in episode 223, Omaeda was able to lift a slab of concrete off of himself that was bigger than he was, and break it in half. Also, in episode 275 he was strong enough to block a blow from Baraggan's zanpakuto that was aimed at Sui-feng. Spiritwarrior (talk) 23:31, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Powers and abilities from Episode 233
Why is it that the abilities Omadea displayed during his extended fight with Nirgge Parduoc in episode 223 are completely absent from his powers and abilities section? Other characters like Nanao, Yumichika, and even Byakuya have abilites in the "Powers and Abilities" section of their article pages that they only displayed in the anime. So why should this be any different for Omadea? I'm confused here.Spiritwarrior (talk) 05:07, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

It's not that they are purposely omitted, we just haven't had time to add them. Feel free to do it yourself, as long as you reference it.
