Forum:Luppi's promotion

I was thinking about why Luppi was promoted straight to sexta Espada, and I came to an answer. Every Espada above number 6 had special abilities/duties. Yammy is supposedly the zeroeth Espada, Aaroniero had the ability to evolve with no limits and he could communicate whatever he is seeing/experiencing to all the arrancar, Szayel Aporro was the top researcher/scientist of Hueco Mundo and Zommari had the power to essentially control people. Perhaps Luppi didn't replace those Espada because of their value, but replaced Grimmjow because he had no special ability or duty. This is and educated guess, but it is still speculation, so you guys can add it to the trivia section if you want to. It's just food for thought. Grimmjow2 17:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Or maybe they just needed a stand-in character that could get killed off with little to no recourse within the rest of the story's world.--Ihaveaname 18:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, i can be wrong and someone can check up on this, but i don't remember seeing any of the other espada above 6 until they enter the castle, also it's know that the science guy wasn't an espada at one point, so maybe he was already 7th and the one counter i'm seeing is we saw yammy as number 10, but maybe he's the 10th created or 10 is a cover for his true nature, but point is we have no reason to believe Luppi wasn't number 7
