Talk:Uryū Ishida

Licht Regen
I was reading the article and came across this "Here he fires a volley of 1,000 arrows, just under his limit, at a single target." under the part describing Licht Regen. Now as far as I can remember it wasn't stated(at least in the manga) how many arrows are fired. Where exactly did this number come from Terrios (talk) 23:14, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. It looks like that there is no mentioning in the manga of the specific number of shots fired (at least in the attack on Ulquiorra). Yes, it looks like 1000 arrows but I cannot say for sure. I guess we can cut that out unless there was an earlier instance which shows that Uryū prefers to fire 1000 arrows using Licht Regen. By the way, I am a member of the Policy & Standards Committee and am working on this particular article right now. - Mr. N 00:07, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I looked back all the way to the first time Uryū uses his new bow and all I could find was the part about him saying his limit is 1200 arrows, nothing about 1000 in Licht Regen so that part should be cut--God (Pray)  00:10, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Up to date?
Um... is there a reason that this page isn't up to date with the Manga?, there's been a notable amount of events concerning this character which I couldn't find any info about here. Jingwa_Nyanda 15:38, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for volunteering to bring Ishida's page upto date. Please remember to add references to any new information you add. If you require guidance towards editing, please refer to the Bleach Wiki:Manual of Style. Plus feel free to ask me questions as well. Thanks again! Tinni  (Talk)  15:51, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

PS. In case people missed the broad hint, this is a frigg'n wiki. Please don't just leave a message saying "Oh the page is out of date!" If its out of date then please bring it up to date! I know we are pretty strict with referencing and stuff but that's not exactly hard to do when you are adding information from the latest chapter because you know exactly where the information comes from. Adding at the end of a paragraph of new text is not hard! To sum things up, don't expect somebody else to do it, remember you are somebody! Tinni  (Talk)  15:51, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * The page is up to date up to Ishida's last appearance. There is nothing about Welcome To Our Execution 3 in there because Ishida was not in that chapter--God (Pray)  15:54, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, my bad, the layout wasn't displaying the newest section for some reason Jingwa_Nyanda 15:58, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

New Images
I think the section on the new arc needs images to show what Uryu looks like now.

This one shows him about to die from chapter 429. And in the second one he's dead. idk how to add them so if one of you people wants to add them with the proper licensing or whatever I would greatly appreciate it.

And in this third one Ichigo visits him in the morgue.

So yah. Benihime101 (talk) 06:17, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

As you said, they are all missing licensing. It is your responsibility as the uploader to add the license otherwise they will be deleted.-- Ok give me a minute Benihime101 (talk) 06:25, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Do not forget the rationale which is conveniently already placed in the summary box on the upload screen but many people take out for whatever reason.-- Firstly if your attitude about bleach or any of its characters are the same as what you placed in the picture caption that I had to delete due its inappropriate and disrespectful nature you have no place on this site. Secondly your apparently unaware of whats going on in the story so how can you add to it in any way. Ishida was attacked and received a grievous wound he was not killed and Ichigo was visiting him at the hospital. --Salubri (Talk)  06:44, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Or the captions could be changed. Simple as that :P Benihime101 (talk) 06:54, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

And his FACE!!!! :DDDD Benihime101 (talk) 07:39, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Somebody add them cause I don't have authority and they're really awesome and they're already in the image gallery magically or something and yah D:Benihime101 (talk) 08:23, March 4, 2011 (UTC)

Equipment/Powers
Shouldn't Uryu's Kojaku and Ginrei Kojaku be in his powers and abilities section, not the equipment. He mentally creates the bow of of reiastu and he can dissapate it. Format wise, it should be the same as a shinigami's zanpakuto, with the bow specific abilities appearing right after it. NightTrain (talk) 19:51, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

This is inaccurate assumption. A zanpakuto is part of a shinigami it is a piece of the soul manifested into the shape of sword. Quincy use a focus, a quincy cross, which allows them to generate the quincy bow. Without it they would have no way of fighting. So its actually in the correct place. The ability to generate bows and arrows are powers.--Salubri (Talk)  00:00, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Seele Schneider
Just a note: "Seele Schneider" may be the name of the blade in the series, but grammatically correct german would be "Seelenschneider" or "Seelen-Schneider". "Seele Schneider" are just two words in german, with no relation to each other (like "Butter Fly" instead of "Butterfly"). I don't now, if it's important for this wiki, but i thought, every information might be valuable ;)

SentiXS (talk)

Kubo does not speak german. He writes what he knows. Just like Kubo does not speak spanish, he makes mistakes but we only concern ourselves with what Kubo writes not what is grammatically correct in the language.--

Sprenger
The technique Sprenger, is the technique where Uryu uses five Seele Schneider to draw the Quincy Cross. Creating a barrier he then uses a small amount of spirit particles to trigger an explosion/implosion(not sure which) to attack his opponent. This techniques is mentioned in the articles, and Uryu has used it against Szayel Aporro, Yammy, and Kuzu(Anime only). However its not listed in his techniques section. I could have sworn it once was. Anyone know what happened to it? Minato (Talk)  00:06, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

It was moved to Gintō which reminds me that I have been meaning to change the colors on that page.--


 * Ah thank you. Did not know that. Minato  (Talk)  00:36, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Silber Draht
Can Silber Drath be added to the list of Equipment used by Uryu Ishida. In the Unmask book it was mislabeled as a menos technique, but was later corrected by the editors and credited to Uryu. Silber Draht is a silver wire that is hidden in an arm band on his right arm. Reference chapter and pages is Chapter 185, pgs 14 -15.Urie12 (talk) 00:04, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * It has been added (somewhat belatedly). 18:57, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Reishi platform
This should probably appear in the "Other Media" section, that he was using this technique in the 4th bleach movie, if only for an instant when he brought himself and Ichigo up to the classroom after the wall was destroyed. Basically non canon. SalmanH  (Talk)  19:41, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Its probably not necessary to mention, this is a canon technique that he used in the Hueco Mundo. Its already listed in his powers and abilities section.-Salubri (Talk)  20:35, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Actually I was referring to the part where it said that it was unknown wether or not he could use it in Soul Society or the Living World, either way it's probably pointless if that's your call. Ok thanks. SalmanH  (Talk)  21:44, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oh well im not sure why it says he can only use it in Hueco Mundo, true we havent seen it outside Hueco Mundo but im not sure if thats because of where he was at or because he just never tried it before. Maybe the general description needs to be clarified. --Salubri (Talk)  22:04, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Alright but one thing we do know is that his flying screen step works on the same principle, and that in Hueco Mundo hollows can survive because of the reishi in the air, the Living World doesn't have that to the same extent but enough to allow hollow and shinigami to collect it under their feet and remain in the air, Quincy can't seem to do that (none that we've seen) since they're human and not spirits. Since he has high spiritual energy it's possible that he could form it under his own power but not as long as he can in the other two worlds, seeing as how he hasn't had much exposure after the Arrancar War ended he hasn't had a chance to demonstrate if he could or not. In any case what was said seems enough for now, thanks for your time and if we continue any further this may have to go to the forums.-- SalmanH  (Talk)  22:36, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Gert Sprenger
Would the following page be an appropriate addition to the "Appearances in other Media" section of Uryū's page about the new power he uses in Hell Chapter?

Exclusive to the fourth Bleach film, Gert Sprenger is a special Quincy technique which revolves around taking the opponent's reishi and using it against them. Uryū Ishida activates this ability by firing a single Seele Schneider at the intended target, which then stops in mid-air, surrounding the opponent with a high density barrier of reishi. Miniscule cuts created by Seele Schneider cause reishi to flow out of the target's body. Similar in principle to other Quincy techniques, Uryū throws a Gintō at the Seele Schneider. This causes the cube-shaped barrier to gradually compress before imploding, culminating in an enormous explosion.

Tell me what you guys think. Thanks, JW Talk  12:33, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

I personaly think that it SHOULD go in the "Appearances in Other Media" section, on the Seele Schneider page as well as Uryu's page, and should stay in the AOM section until we see it in the manga or something, unlikely as it may seem.

Btw, "imploding outwards" is a self-contradicting statement. "Imploding" means crumpling inward, as I'm sure you're aware. Perhaps it should be "before imploding, culminating in an enormous explosion." Not perfect, I know, but we should at least beat the idea around until it can come out of the wringer in respectable condition Aeron Solo wuz here (If you wanna talk)  13:30, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that. I wrote it in a rush a couple of days ago. Thanks for helping, Aeron. --<font color="#660066" face="Verdana">JW <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">Talk   08:22, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yep. The silver cylinders are called Gintō. 18:38, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

How would I put that into context? Should I refer to it as "Similar in principle to other Quincy techniques, Uryū throws a Gintō cylinder at the Seele Schneider" or something similar? And is it good enough to add on the page(s) it needs to be listed on? <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">JW <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">Talk   08:19, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

"Uryū then throws a Gintō at the Seele Schneider, causing the barrier to"...etc would do the job. Ginto means silver tube, so saying ginto cylinder is a bit redundant. 11:02, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

One more question. Do I need to add the kanji for the ability (if it is known) to the opening sentence like the other powers and abilities listed on other character pages? <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">JW <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">Talk   11:11, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you know the kanji you can add it, but it is just a minor thing compared to describing the ability. 11:25, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Status of Ginrei Kojaku
I don't think we should list Ginrei Kojaku as "Former" just yet. Let's not forget that 12 chapters ago, Uryu was still using it. His new bow that was shown in this chapter may very well be his new main bow, but I think it's a little soon to say that he no longer uses or is able to use Ginrei Kojaku. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  05:06, October 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree there. I thought about him using the previous bow when he turned up to the fight as I was reading the chapter but then forgot all about it. To me, if he could use it a few minutes ago in in-story time, with no explanation as to the change, it shouldn't be listed as former. We don't have to say current either, maybe drop that little bit altogether until we know more. 11:41, October 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Dropping the status would probably be the best. It is clearly not Ginrei Kojaku he is using but I had forgotten he used it a few chapters ago when adding in the new bow. That entire section needs a clean up anyway. If no one gets to it before me, I will clean it up over the weekend.--

Alright, I reworked the layout and section a little bit. If someone could look it over I know it needs a little more work.--

In the latest chapter Ishida uses his new bow to fight Hollows. --<font style="background: black" face="Courier" color="white"> The Goblin  <font style="background: white" face="Courier" color="black"> Talk   19:56, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

The issue was addressing that it was listed as if he is no longer capable of using Ginrei Kojaku (listed as "(former)"), not which bow he currently has preference over. Yes, odds are high that he'll be using the new bow much more often than Ginrei Kojaku, but preference of which bow he uses was never the issue. It was whether or not he was capable of using Ginrei Kojaku, which he did in Chapter 458, so he is still capable of using it. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  00:09, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Swordsmanship
Ishida used Seele Schneider as a sword for melee combat multiple times. Considering this, shouldn't we add Swordsmanship as one of his abilities? --<font style="background: black" face="Courier" color="white"> The Goblin  <font style="background: white" face="Courier" color="black"> Talk  02:42, October 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ishida has stated Quincy dont use swords. Seele Schneider is not a sword its an arrow and swordsmanship specifically refers to the skill a swordsman has in wielding a sword.--<font color="00BFFF" size="2px">Salubri <font color="1E90FF" size="2px">(Talk)  02:55, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it's already listed. It seems I haven't looked carefully enough. --<font style="background: black" face="Courier" color="white"> The Goblin  <font style="background: white" face="Courier" color="black"> Talk   21:36, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I have been wondering...
How do you guys know how tall or how much someone weighs when a new arc comes out? like for example you put formerly height: 5'6" Now: 5'9"1/2 is there another fansite you go on to find out this stuff?BleachKuromaki (talk) 01:11, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Admins and several regular users of this site purchase the official fanbooks Kubo compiles and releases, almost all of which feature character biographies and statistics (height, weight, age, blood type, proficiency levels in certain areas such as intelligence and strength) as a regular part of their contents. Many mangaka, in fact, release fanbooks at least once every few years. Once they buy the books, they scan them, post the contents, and have the Translation Corner look them over. .Seshat.

Energy vs Solid
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between a Quincy's Energy Bow and his Solid one. I remember Kojaku was energy when Uryu was first introduced, but quickly became solid after mastering the Sanrei Glove. Ryuken's is also a solid bow.

Does having a solid appearance to it indicate mastery of the bow? It's confusing because Ginrei Kojaku is still in an energy form while this new bow Uryu is using is solid. I would say that different Cross' produce different styles of bow but that doesn't explain how Kojaku was energy and then became solid...

If someone could shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you =) Heart of the Force 15:09, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Uryuu's Mother
I merely wanted to point out that Ishida Uryuu's history has not been updated to give information about his mother. She died in September when he was eight years old, and it is unclear whether his mother's death precedes his grandfather's.

I attempted to add this information myself, but the page apparently can no longer be edited by average viewers. Still, I feel this ought to be included.
