Talk:Szayelaporro Granz

Name
You know, something just occurred to me. We usually use hyphens to connect certain characters' names (Sun-Sun and Mila-Rose for example). These said characters have been constantly referred by both parts connected by the hyphen. Because of this, I was thinking that since everyone calls him "Szayel Aporro", doesn't that mean his name should be hyphenated as well? Arrancar109 17:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * He's always called "Szayel Apporo" because his original Japanese name was "Zaeruaporo"--all one word. Then again, Sun-Sun had the same thing... It could just be an asthetic thing, because Mila-Rose's original name was two seperate words. I personally prefer the current spelling. LapisScarab 05:19, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Gabriel
In the abillity section under Gabriel we have this listed "While he is physical contact with the victim he can implant a portion of himself inside their body" however the physical contact part isnt mentioned in the Manga or Anime...so Im not sure where that was taken from.

 * In order to use his ability, he stated that he would recreated himself inside of the victim. In order to do this, he would need some sort of physical attachment to make the transfer of his DNA into the host body through his tentacles. So, I would leave it as it is.

Hierro
Shouldn't Hierro be added to Szayel's abilities? There is one scene where he blocks Zabimaru with his bare hand.


 * Personally, I agree with you. I have noticed that myself... Szayel-sama uses Hierro as every other Arrancar does. They are always using it in essence because it IS their skin. He just seems to have a weaker Hierro, but has it nevertheless. I believe it should be added as well. HuecoMuffin 17:20, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/269/14/ Right here Szayel clearly uses his bare hand to block Zabimaru, this means he has a hierro, maybe not as strong as other Espadas' Hierros, but a Hierro nonetheless. Grimmjow2 23:30, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Um, is no one going to add this to his abilities, or should I do it? Grimmjow2 12:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

"Like most other Arrancar, his body is protected with his spiritual pressure. He was able to effortlessly block Renji Abarai's released Zabimaru with only the back of his wrist. However, he doesn't seem to benefit from his Hierro as most other Arrancar do, as most attacks caused him to bleed." - That is what I added, feel free to edit it.

English Voice Actor
This may sound "stupid" but when should we know his english voice actor, he will be speaking in 5 episodes in english so I would think there would be some announcement of voice actors like they do in Japan, just wondering. Hidan13 04:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

About five episodes from now then. Unless the voice actor announces it we won't know until the episodes are released Ancient Chaos 04:59, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay thanks, just wondering :D Hidan13 06:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Why Isn't Szayel a MAster Swordsman?
He was playing with Renji and as soon as he got serious, he easily bested Renji's swordsmanship skills. And we all know Renji is also a master swordsman, so Szayel deserves this in his Powers and Abilities section as well. Ref. Episode 161Grimmjow2 12:51, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Another point I'd like to add to Szayel's abilities is "Subterfuge Expert", as he allowed Renji to believe he was actually winning. And then he did the same to Uryu (who is infinitely smarter than Renji).Grimmjow2 12:51, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Relationship With Aizen
Should it be noted in his trivia or somewhere on his page that Szayel is one of three Espada whom take orders from Aizen because he like Grimmjow & Barragan are not strong enough to defeat him. Minato88 17:29, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Trivia Clean Up
Szayel is one of the few Espada (the others being Barragan Luisenbarn and Zommari Leroux) to not have his tattoo or Hollow hole shown, even after Renji Abarai and Uryū Ishida destroyed most of his clothes. Their locations remain a mystery.

He is one of the few Espada whose mask remnants do not show any sort of teeth. The others being Ulquiorra Cifer and Barragan Luisenbarn. Also, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez and Tia Harribel share this same trait while in their released forms.

* Szayel's Zanpakutō apparently gives him the abilities of a parasitic worm or helminth. This explains most of his abilities:

1. He gains Possession of anyone's nervous system that eats even a single part of him. 2. He is able to use Voodoo dolls in order to attack any organ within the opponent's body. He must eat them by using his tentacles/wings. 3. Lastly, the Espada can use Gabriel to completely devour all the nutrients from an opponent's body, leaving them to die afterward. 4. The only ability this cannot explain is the Carbon Copies. Although, some worms can asexually reproduce in spores, creating genetic duplicates; Szayel's technique could be the same. However, instead of reproduction, the technique is inflicted onto others.

I feel none of this is fitting for trivia, however I feel the bottom one about Szayels Zanpakuto deserves to be somewhere else in his article, so feel free to find a place while I think it over. Minato88 17:48, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
