Bankai Ice Clone
Unfortunately I do not have any of the corresponding pages, but this is just an open request that doesn't need to be rushed at all. Our current summary on Hitsugaya's ice clone ability states that he can only use the ability "once per activation of his Bankai," taken from the manga's translation of "I can only use this once" or something like that. However, the sub of the corresponding anime episode, and presumably other scans interpreted his statement as "this trick will only work once," more implying not that he can't use the technique again, but that he won't because Harribel wouldn't fall for it again. Whenever possible, could you guys confirm which translation/interpretation is correct? Mohrpheus (talk) 11:55, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

The line should be:

Konna damashiuchi ikkai tsukaenee kara hontou ha girigiri made tsukaitaku ha nakattan da kedo na

Since this kind of trick-attack isn't useful except once, I really hadn't wanted to be using it until the end.

So the implication does seem to be that Hitsugaya could use the technique again, but any other times Harribel would be onto the trick. I don't know how true that would be, since he still had the speed and stealth to assail her after he used it the first time and so would plausibly be able again, even if she did suspect, but whatever :).

Damashiuchi combines damashi (infinitive of damasu "trick, deceive, fool") + uchi (infinitive of utsu "strike, attack"--I think the same as, in imperative form ute, Harribel's release call). Ikkai tsukaenee, combining ikkai "one time, once" + tsukaenee "not be useful," dialectal of tsukaenai, negative of tsukaeru "be useful," would seem intended to mean "once (and then) not be useful." Girigiri "at the last moment, in the end; just barely" is apparently derived from onomatopoeia for the sound of grinding; compare English in the grind = "in the thick of, in dire straits" for similar meanings to "at the last moment" etc. Adam Restling (talk) 06:16, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

'B' Station track titles
If you guys ever have a chance, could you check out the 'B' Station Soundtrack section of the music article (Music) and translate some of the non-english portions of the track titles. There is a decent amount there so you could just do small amounts whenever you have a chance or something. Thanks. The Shadow Dragon (talk) 20:04, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

I just began the long task of this on the Talk:Music page, and will try to continue it in installments regularly. So far, I've done the first couple volumes of the first season. Adam Restling (talk) 05:46, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Purgatory Co, Mayuri's Magical Clinic and Kuchiki Manor
Thanks guys. The Seireitei article looks really good now. However, poor Purgatory Co is now the odd one out as it doesn't have the proper kanji. Can you guys see if you obtain the kanji from the above? Also, can you also see about the getting the kanji, romanji and translation for Mayuri's Magical Clinic? We should probably mention that Mayuri runs that from squad 12 barracks. Tinni  (Talk)  04:30, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

PS. I moved almost everything but the couple of discussions that were new or not addressed to the archive to get this page to a manageable size. If you looking for something and can't find it. Please try the archives. Tinni  (Talk)  04:30, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Purgatory" is 煉獄 (Rengoku). --Reikson (talk) 05:10, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks but I do need the full kanji, romanji and maybe lit translation. I also need the Kanji for the Kuchiki manor for the new Kuchiki Family Manor article. I have found a picture showing the kanji. Please see what you guys can do. Tinni  (Talk)  08:37, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I'll try to draw the applicable terms (i.e. ignoring some of the other written stuff) from the above pics; if I missed any, let me know:

Pic 1- "Charismatic Dr. Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Magical Clinic" (カリスマDr.[ドクター]涅マユリの マジカル☆クリニック Karisuma Dr.[Dokutā] Kurotsuchi Mayuri no Majikaru Kurinikku). I think the line at the top says something like "Farewell to yourself-up-until-yesterday" (昨日までの自分にさようなら··· Kinou made no jibun ni sayounara...), i.e. his demented, cosmetic-ad form of "say goodbye to the old you..." XD

Pic 2- "(The) Purgatory Company" (煉獄商会 Rengoku Shoukai) (thanks to Reikson for the first half). I can prob. do the other lines if desired (says something about the north of the Seireitei, Black Gate). Fun fact: rengoku is more lit. "forging prison"; ren means "refine, forge (as over a fire)," metaphoric it seems for cleansing and honing souls before they pass on. :)

Pic 3- "Kuchiki Manor" here is 朽木邸, prob. to be read as Kuchiki yashiki, though 邸 "manor, mansion" (said to have historically been used of the residences of daimyou) can also be read, esp. in compounds, as tei. Thus, I'm not sure (without furigana) which reading is preferred, but prob. it's the first one (yashiki). Adam Restling (talk) 05:29, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Adam! Tinni  (Talk)  06:56, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Kishi
Could you guys do the translation for Kishi (器子) for the Important Terms page? Thanks. The Shadow Dragon (talk) 23:32, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * An object that receives... a container? Adam, I'm stumped. Over to you. --Reikson (talk) 23:44, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Kishi seems to be the material/corporeal analog to the spiritual/ethereal reishi (at least in Urahara's usage), i.e. the former are the basic elements of flesh bodies and the latter are the basic elements of the bodies of spiritual beings like the Soul Reapers. 器 most often means "vessel, container" or "conduit, medium," while 子 "child" is often also used as just as noun suffix (similarly to English -ling, -let); thus, as I would translate reishi as "soullet(s)," I would translate kishi as maybe "holdlet(s)" (that is, small hold[ing]s or container[s]).

I wish I'd had more time to review the huge slew of entries that just got recently archived for proofreading purposes, but I guess their being archived means I missed my chance. Trying to translate the section on Troop 0 broke my brain. Adam Restling (talk) 05:35, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Troop 0? Links? You mean Squad 0, the Royal Guard? --Reikson (talk) 11:21, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe he is talking about the Royal Guard, I think it's something from MASKED. Also if you want to review them, I'm sure you could always just move them back from the archive if you want. I doubt anyone would mind (or you could just make a new section here for your comments on them). The Shadow Dragon (talk) 14:56, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Since Reishi seem to have been English-dubbed as "Spiritrons", a comparable translation of Kishi might be "Physitrons", or "Materi(tr)ons". Awkward, I know, but that's the best that I can come up with. MarqFJA (talk) 11:27, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I noticed it translated as Vessel Particles on another site, probably in contrast to Reishi being translated as Spirit Particles. The Shadow Dragon (talk) 14:12, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, yeah. The word "spiritron" makes me very sad XD. I bolded my suggestions above, and why, but whatever the consensus decides, I guess. Adam Restling (talk) 13:20, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Shakonmaku
I just noticed Shakonmaku (遮魂膜) on the Important Terms page doesn't have a translation. Could you guys check it out? Thanks. The Shadow Dragon (talk) 14:20, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it did, it was just in the definition beneath it. Something like Soul-Shielding Membrane. --Reikson (talk) 15:14, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

If those Kanji are correct, then Shakonmaku should = "soul-warding membrane"; while the Kanji 遮 does mean "cover, shield, protect" in Chinese, in Japanese it means "obstruct, ward (off), hinder, check." Thus, the membrane is used as a shield to ward off unwelcome, "vulgar" souls from the Seireitei. Adam Restling (talk) 13:40, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Final Getsuga
The Final Getsuga Tenshou entry in Ichigo's article only uses the kanji for Getsuga Tenshou, and yet erroneously translates them as "Final Moon Fang Heaven Piercer". Can someone confirm what kanji is being used for the "Final" portion of the new technique's name? MarqFJA (talk) 20:58, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Looks like "Final Getsuga Tenshou" is just 最後の月牙天衝 Saigo no Getsuga Tenshou, with saigo "end, finish" made into the adjective "final, ultimate" by being followed with the genitive particle no. Adam Restling (talk) 13:44, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Big Mouth
Hey :) I need a Kanji+Romanji check for this guy from episode 208. Many thanx in advance!! WD   Talk to me  13:59, September 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hiyori first says his name at about 11:52 into the episode. Hope it helps... WD   Talk to me  17:08, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Video game techniques
Could you guys do the translation for these video game techniques: Thanks! The Shadow Dragon (talk) 19:03, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * for Rukia Kuchiki's page
 * ,, and for Yasutora Sado's page.
 * Anken (暗剣) and Shunretsugeki (瞬烈撃) for Yoruichi Shihōin's page.


 * I believe Tsurarada is something like "Falling Icicle".
 * Kyōjin no Rengeki is something like "Furious Group of Giants" (?).
 * Majin no Kengeki is something like "Fist Strike of the Demon".
 * Anken is literally "Dark Sword".
 * Shunretsugeki is something like "Violent Flickering Strike". --Reikson (talk) 19:56, October 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Reikson's seem pretty good (if the Kanji are indeed correct in the above):


 * Tsurarada is "icicle descent"; da is used to mean "descend (to), lapse into, degenerate," but Kubo's been known to use it as though the ordinary word for "fall"


 * Kyoujin no Rengeki = "serial surge of the giant"; ren is usu. in the meaning "serial, link(ed)," while geki here means "surge, rise up, become excited or agitated"


 * Majin no Kengeki is "fist strike of the demon," and Anken "dark sword/blade"


 * Shunretsugeki is "flash(ing) fierce strike"; shun is "wink, flash," retsu "fierce, violent, vehement" Adam Restling (talk) 06:47, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Number One: Nadegiri
Right now we have the technique listed as Number One: Nadegiri (撫で斬り, "Clean Sweep" or "Killing Several with One Sword Sweep") on the Zanjutsu page which is a mix of English and Japanese with the kanji only for the Nadegiri part. Could you guys get the kanji and such for the Number One part? Thanks. The Shadow Dragon (talk) 21:51, October 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, see what you can make of the actual words in this clip, the name's mentioned at about 3 minutes into the clip itself. --Reikson (talk) 22:18, October 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * From the clip, the technique's Japanese name is Hitotsume: Nadegiri. Hitotsume (一つ目) literally translates into "number one" (ordinal) or "first". I'd suggest double-checking the kanji with the manga raws, however. MarqFJA (talk) 22:59, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

That actually means "one-eyed". --Reikson (talk) 23:02, October 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * No; hitotsume is indeed "first," a synonym for the more common daiichi. Hitsugaya uses it, along with futatsume, "second" in his discussion of the Menos. As for why 目 me which, as you pointed out, means "eye" is used in ordinal constructions, perhaps it came from some semantic elaboration, e.g. hitotsume "*one/single-eye*" > "having the look of one" > "of the one type" > "of the first type, first."


 * As for Nadegiri itself--if those Kanji are correct--then that's the same -nade that occurs in Saka nade , I think. If so, then it would seem to mean "stroke-kill'--i.e. a single stroke that deals death (semantic twin to English killing stroke). In total, then, Hitotsume : Nadegiri would = "(The) First : Killing Stroke." I can't recall, though: do we know that Hitotsume is some preface to the attack name--and so part of said name; or is it just a part of Yamamoto's statement, as in essentially saying "first (comes this attack,) Nadegiri" ? Adam Restling (talk) 03:09, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sayori
Hey, I need the romanization and kanji for Sayori from Episode 173. I also need the romanization and kanji for Sacchi as well (same person - different name). Thanks! TheDevilHand888 (talk) 01:13, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

Question
Are these symbols (中央四十六室) the correct kanji for the Central 46 Compound? --Reikson (talk) 02:03, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Yep, those seem to be correct: the Central 46 Chambers (中央四十六室 Chuuou Shijuuroku Shitsu) :). Adam Restling (talk) 14:08, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Also...
Also wondering about Ichigo's new Mugetsu technique. Only kanji I ever found for it is 無月, literally "No Moon". But with Kubo, it's rarely that simple. Thoughts? --Reikson (talk) 04:32, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, with a little bit of research, it's more of a poetic term. The literal translation would be "nothing moon," but that's grammatically incorrect in terms of English. Mohrpheus (talk) 04:34, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, found a RAW scan online that confirms it. The kanji for Ichigo's new Mugetsu technique is 無月. One of the Admins oughtta put that up at some point... --Reikson (talk) 04:36, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the translation for this would probably be something like "Nullifying Moon"... --Reikson (talk) 04:37, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * From all translations I have seen of it, it is being translated as moonless sky. While this is not the literal form of the kanji, I have seen it expressed as the poetic form--God (Pray)  05:09, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not disagreeing with you here. It's just that "Mugetsu" is the title of a technique most-likely designed with absolute eradication in mind. While the poetic "moonless night" is correct, I think that the appropriate translation here (not necessarily correct, mind you) would be "Nullifying Moon". --Reikson (talk) 05:29, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, as was said above, Mugetsu means simply "no moon" or "unmoon(ed)," making it easy to see how it could expand, poetically, to refer to the moonless sky or new moon etc. I think, therefore, it's best to use this, and not venture into risky conjecture with elaborations like "nullifying moon," even if context might make them seem attractive. Adam Restling (talk) 13:48, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ghost Bust
We currently have the kanji for the show's full name (ぶらり霊場突撃の旅, Burari Reijou Totsugeki no Tabi) translated as Journey to Bust Ghosts on Hallowed Ground, which was the translation I used from one of the old Mangarain(?) releases. Is this translation accurate? Mohrpheus (talk) 18:34, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * What I got was something like Aimless Journey of Assaulting Sacred Ground. --Reikson (talk) 19:20, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * This is an odd sequence, since the onomatopoeic adverb burari "casually, aimlessly, unexpectedly" is placed at the front of a nominative phrase. Thus, going from the ordering, I'd've translated "Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip," or something; note that reijou "a hallow, hallowed/sacred ground" is more lit. "soul-place." But few may agree with me, since it's so different from the established trans; plus it sounds awkward (but, then, so does Kanonji XD). Adam Restling (talk) 17:13, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Ouch, three very different translations. Anyway, how about the translation for "Ghost Bust" (ぶら霊, Bura Tama)? It's supposed to be a shortened version of the full name, so maybe it'll give a clue as to which translation is best. Mohrpheus (talk) 17:21, September 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Basing it on this abbreviation, Bura Tama I would, I guess, render Cazh Soul, with *cazh* meant as a phonetic abbreviation of  cas ual (to match bura from burari), and soul because tama(shii) here is the native Japanese form of the Sino-Japanese word rei "soul" used in the fuller title. Adam Restling (talk) 06:21, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Sanrei Glove
Could you translate the glove's kanji?(散霊手套, sanrei shutō) I'm getting something along the lines of "Spirit-Scattering Glove," but I'm still just experimenting at translating myself. Mohrpheus (talk) 23:46, September 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * That translation is correct. In order, the four kanji translate into "scatter, disperse", "spirit(ual)", "hand", and "covering". And yes, 散霊 does translate to "spirit-scattering", rather than "scattering spirit"; it might seem a counterintuitive word order, but it's a special quirk of the Japanese language that you will find with many, mostly feudal/Meiji-era words and martial arts terms (compare Zanpakutou, Zantetsuken [from Lupin III and Final Fantasy series], and Zanmaken [from Love Hina and Mahou Sensei Negima], in which the "zan" kanji means "cut"). MarqFJA (talk) 12:37, September 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Like Marq said. In fact, I think that 散 "scatter, disperse," when read chiru appears (in imperative form) as chire," Senbonzakura's release call. As for the "counterintuitive" order of the sememes, Japanese shares this normal-way order vs. exotic-way order interchange with English e.g. we may have weed-killer instead of *kills-weed, but we also have passer-by instead of *by-passer, too.

MASKED
For some semblance of order, I am putting all masked related stuff in this section. Tinni  (Talk)  05:59, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Nnoitra's last name
OK, so a new user changed all the "Jiruga" in the article to "Gilga". As reference he left this address:. If you look at the bottom right corner you can just make out the name Nnoitra Gilga. I also posted this in his discussion page with a circle around the relevant area. It appears to be a scan from some official Bleach source and doesn't seem photoshopped to my untrained eye. WD  Talk to me  19:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hot damn!!! Sorry for the effusive enthusiasm, but they just announced the pending release (in August) of the long awaited new BLEACH character book, Masked, which will finally (I *hope*) give us official spellings of the Arrancar by covering them and the Visored!! This looks to feature the cover of the new guidebook, and could that be a sneak peek of the *true* spelling of Nnoitra's surname? Too soon to be sure, but this jazzes me up something fierce :) ! Finally, dare I to hope, shall we get the official romanizations? Adam Restling (talk) 23:28, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Komamura: Shikai
Sajin Komamura's shikai command is given as 轟け in Masked. When I checked, the first kanji on its own means roar, but the second means something else, so can I please get confirmation that it is accurate. Thanks, 10:27, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * The two symbols translate as Todoroke; the second symbol depicts an imperative inflection, essentially a command. In this case, the phrase Komamura uses to activate his shikai is a command to Tenken to roar.
 * Just, literally, "Roar!" --Reikson (talk) 12:46, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clearing that up. 12:54, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Didn't Komamura's article have "Todoroke" as the Shikai command long ago before it was removed due to lack of official basis? Coincidence? Or is Kubo trolling our forums? XD MarqFJA (talk) 13:28, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, back then we only knew it came from a game, and our policy states we can't use that as canon material, especially since some games have inaccurate portrayal of the manga-canon characters. Arrancar109 (Talk)  17:01, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hado #73
According to User:Urie12, this page from masked says that Soren Sokatsui is Hado #73 and not 63 which would finally put this debate to rest. Can you confirm this?--God (Pray)  21:14, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

The kanji preceding Souren Soukatsui in the Kidou list depicted in the image provided clearly says "Hadou no Nanajuusan", which is literally "Seventy-Third of the Way of Destruction". I believe this evidence that Kubo has made another retcon, in the same vein as he did with Proyectil Azul (now Ola Azul). MarqFJA (talk) 21:56, August 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll make the change then. 22:04, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

MASKED Databook: New Characters
I realize that this is a lot of work, but can we please get details (particularly confirmation on the spelling of names) on these new characters revealed in the new character book Masked. Also, please see Bleach Wiki:Masked Project and Bleach Wiki talk:Masked Project for an awful lot of name change issues caused by the databook (look at your own risk). 22:32, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Forgive any errors for this prelim:

Love's VC was Jinemon Kotsubaki (小椿刃右衛門 Kotsubaki Jinemon) (I think intimated as Sentarou's father/relative???); this one is weird since it seems like it's missing a furigana.

The graph 衛, usu. read ei, means "protection," and seems to be combined with the preceding 右 "right-hand; help, save (? < "offer the right hand") to reinforce this sense (just as in Iba's first name, Tetsuzaemon). However, found the answer: the sequence (右)衛門 -emon itself seems clearly inspired by names like that of the famous Japanese folk hero Goemon Ishikawa.

Rose's VC was Chikane Iba (射場千鉄 Iba Chikane) (Tetsuzaemon's crabby mother???; the same element tetsu, kane "iron, strong" appears in both!)

The previous Kenpachi was Kiganjou (鬼厳城); his former name was Gosuke (五助)

Ginrei's VC was Soujun Kuchiki (朽木蒼純 Kuchiki Soujun) (his son[-in-law]???/Byakuya's father???)

Unohana's VC was (as expected) Seinosuke Yamada (Hanatarou's elder brother/father???)

Yoruichi's VC was Marenoshin Oomaeda (大前田希ノ進 Oomaeda Marenoshin) (Oomaeda's father???)

Kanji to follow when I have more time (read: after someone beats my pathetic ass to doing it :( XD). And forgive my ignorance of other data books, which may already have mentioned these characters, thus making look like a dupe for not having heard of them ;). Adam Restling (talk) 03:52, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Adam, about Kotsubaki... I ran into something like this before; the two kanji symbols with the furigana directly above the space in-between the two of them is supposed to indicate that the pronunciation is supposed to read as Jinemon, but when it's written with kanji, Jinemon's name has... four (?) symbols in it. --Reikson (talk) 04:06, August 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, 'tis a rare sight to see that much of a gap :). EDIT: Okay, I found out why; it's after Goemon Ishikawa (see above). Adam Restling (talk) 01:36, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Bleach Masked scans
Here is some scans from that new Bleach databook. Of course I have no idea what they say. Hisagi9 00:53, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

More Bleach Masked Scans
Here is two more pages from the new Masked book, though I'm not sure if there is anything new about the Zero Division. I still wonder what they say. Hisagi9 (talk) 18:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

I did the one for Troop 13:

Juushirou Ukitake

current: same

"Well... this place certainly is so like you."

Troop #13 organization chart

past/present

captain: Juushirou Ukitake

vice-captain: vacant

Juushirou Ukitake who, together with Kyouraku, was the first of the graduates of the "Shinou Reijutsuin" ("true-center soul-technique school") founded by All-captain Yamamoto to be inaugurated as a captain. Formerly he bound his long hair, although only so it was like to a single bundle. His vice-captaincy is a vacant post. Ukitake and those around him support a superior seated officer, Kaien Shiba...

While drinking tea on the veranda, Ukitake prods Kaien concerning his desire to be vice-captain. Though he continues to be refused, Ukitake doesn't give up.

Hopefully that's all pretty correct, and I didn't make any true flubs. The quote from Ukitake signifies that the place/location is "so like [the person he's talking to] (to choose)." It re-iterates how he and Kyouraku were the first graduates of Yamamoto's school to become captains. The prodding of Kaien by Ukitake re: vice-captain" would seem to just mean "about Kaien's desire to remain a vice-captain and not be promoted to captain.

Troop 0 coming soon! Adam Restling (talk) 18:06, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Troop 0 stuff doesn't seem to be all that enlightening, either. Mostly it seemed to retread what we already know: they're associated with the royal family; members are promoted out of the Court Guard into it; it's a "specially-tasked/elite corps/unit (tokumu butai)"; the captain and vice-captain of it are wholly unknown (at present).

Kubo's comments on new characters
I uploaded the two pages from Kubo's interview in which he comments on the new characters. It would be a great if we could get a general gist of what Kubo is saying for their profiles. Thanks. Tinni  (Talk)  17:44, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Menos Grande
I was wondering if you guys could compare what is stated in the Menos Grande page (pic above) and compare it with the Unnamed Hollow (Chapter 184)A & Unnamed Hollow (Chapter 184)B pages. I'm curious if it confirms this character to be an Arrancar or not and also if it indicates whether it is one character with two bodies or two separate entities. Thanks, 21:27, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be anything about either one of these Hollows being a Arrancar, not even a pseudo-Arrancar. The text does seem to note that these particular "Menos Grande" do differ from the usu. "black-formed" Menos Grande (i.e. the pointy-nosed, lumbering Gillian we all know and love) but, nevertheless, they and the standard-appearance Menos Grande/Gillian are apparently one in the same "race." It does also cite something to the effect that these Menos Grande are unique in that their true form is actually the two such Hollows united.

Maybe the reason for this "differing form" is that these are examples of Gillian who retained enough of an intellect that (if Ryuuken hadn't slain them) they could've further evolved up through the Menos ranks--note how the chapter "Historia de Pantera y su Sombras" (I think it was) showed that these higher-intellect Gillian can look quite different from their bestial brethren; but any such conjecture (at least with what their page here tells us) is pure speculation at this point. Adam Restling (talk) 05:08, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
