Talk:Ikkaku Madarame

hair
could someone mention that in the last episode that when he remove the wig a single strand of hair appeared, showing that he is not bald and does shave his head Fawcettp 14:22, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought that the single strand of hair was left over from the wig, as Yumichika had glued it to his head and he had to rip it off. Also, wasn't that a filler episode? They don't fully count as facts, do they? Akami.40 14:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Fillers are included as just as much as anything else manga and anime or sources and count toward the series canon. Anything outside of those two mediums such as movies, and games are not considered facts but are included on the site more commonly under appearance in other media.Salubri 14:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia section clean-up
Removed trivia


 * Ikkaku does not wish to have anyone know of his Bankai, as he wishes to fight and die under Kenpachi's command. He knows that if anyone were to know of his Bankai, he would most likely be promoted to Captain, and thus, no longer be under Kenpachi's command.


 * The only ones who have seen Ikkaku's Bankai are Yumichika Ayasegawa, Keigo Asano, possibly Renji Abarai, and Tetsuzaemon Iba, who reprimands Ikkaku for not using his Bankai to complete his mission during the Battle of Karakura. Captain Sajin Komamura told Iba not to worry after his conversation about Bankai, saying, "My senses seem to be failing me today," implying that he heard them talking about Ikkaku's Bankai, but would not acknowledge it. In the second movie, Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto also see Ikkaku use his Bankai. However, this is not to be considered canonical, at least until the current story arc ends. In a similar vein, during the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc, Soifon, Shunsui Kyōraku, Jushiro Ukitake and Ichigo Kurosaki witness his Zanpakutō spirit using it as well, though whether they know it is his Bankai is not yet known.


 * Ikkaku has only been shown using Bankai one time within the manga and anime; it is only shown once again in the second movie (Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion), and then used by Hōzukimaru himself in the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales Arc.


 * The two losses Ikkaku has suffered in battle are a direct result of his hesitation to release his Bankai, as seen during his battle against Ichigo and Poww.


 * Ikkaku is also the only member of the 11th Division known to achieve Bankai, as even his Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki has not yet achieved it (nor even knows his sword's name). Yachiru is never shown using her sword so the extent of her abilities are unknown.


 * During episode 63 of the series, when Ichigo decides to have another friendly fight with Ikkaku (with wooden swords), there is a scar that runs down the left side of Ikkaku's chest. This was a serious injury caused by Ichigo during their battle, and since then, it has never fully healed. This scar is then shown in the rest of his appearances where he is bare-chested, including but not limited to his fight with Edrad Liones, when he uses his Bankai, and episode 228. It even appears in most video games that feature his Bankai. This makes him the first character to obtain a permanent scar from a fight with Ichigo, the second being Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.

Can anyone please explain to me, how ANY of the above triva is anything but junk? The a lot of it is should be obvious from reading the article and the rest are of limited appeal at best. I am not even happy with the two trivia I left on his page! Can't anyone think of a good trivia for him? Like something Kubo mentioned about Ikkaku in one of his interviews? Something form the databooks that's not included in the article? I added what he said about the 7th division in the Bleach bootleg, can't you guys think of trivia along the same vain? Or do you guys actually find one or more of the above trivia actually useful and not junk. Tinni 01:31, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
