Episode 283 - Starrk, The Lone Battle

You can clearly see it was originally Starrk. If that's not enough, look at his Resurreccion. That's the whole point of an Arrancar releasing..its to revert back and gain powers that they had when they were Menos class hollows. Why do you think that after releasing their swords, Barragan and Harribel looked EXACTLY how they did during their flashbacks?

Yeah, Espadas 1-4 were originally Vasto Lordes before becoming Arrancar..That explains why they are forbidden to release their swords in Las Noches.

It was strongly hinted that Espada 1-4 were Vasto Lordes (Harribel Confirmed).

Its confirmed that Aaronierro was the ONLY Gillian among the Espada.

So we can infer that the rest were Adjuchas. (Grimmjow confirmed).
