Wonderweiss Margera

 * 1)  He's a good character, and I have a feeling his release is going to be pretty awesome. StarrkCoyote16 02:52, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  This is NO-BRAINER. The lead up to Wonderweiss' character has been, to put it simply, absolutely FLAWLESS. They have been very coy about showing how all the Espada have a grudging respect for Wonderweiss (lest you forget about Stark's view on Margera's entering the fray/Aizen's impatience). The fact that Kaname Tosen even treats him with a sort of reverence (surprising since Tosen seems to love wallowing in his own self-prescribed righteousness) is yet another clue that this is one guy who cannot be taken lightly. Going back to Aizen's impatience (demonstrated by allowing Wonderweiss to enter the battle finally), one has to assume that he actually holds Wonderweiss in high regard. I dare you to name even ONE other character that Aizen holds in such regard. There are NONE, none but Wonderweiss Margera, the obvious choice for Article Of the Month.

Yammy Riyalgo

 * 1)  Yammy, like most of the Espada, has a high quality article that many people, including myself, have worked on diligently. In addition, as the last Espada, it seems only right that he is featured this month (not to mention that he came so close last time). Mohrpheus 18:05, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) The way things are going, we won't get another chance to get him on the board. While he may be a character that divides opinion here, he is beginning to show a little of what he is capable of, and to earn his title of cero espada. Hopefully, TK won't kill him off too quickly, and he'll make ByaKen work a lot more. TomServo101 10:46, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  He hasn´t showed his powers yet i think he is gonna do something cool soon--Rukialover 01:38, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  He has shown us two released forms and said he changes based on anger, I find that interesting enough for FAOTM. --AmazeKing 15:22, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  He has always been a main villain in the story and during this time where there showing more and more of his power he deserves it as the last remaining espada.--Rikudousennin 16:07, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  I haven't done anything here in a very long time but I can't let Kenpachi freaking Zaraki win. Yammy simply deserves it more. He's been around for a long time and when he finally does something people are trying to oppose him. Barragan Luisenbarn got away without an article and I won't let it happen to Yammy. Plus his page is growing every week. People thought he was fodder only weeks ago but they are consistently wrong when he comes back with something new and different...I'm done.--NewFoundGlory 19:02, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7)  He deserves it because he's the only espada left and of all the espada he's been around the longest. He's also finally starting to show how powerful he is. TheDevilHand888 19:46, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8)  I love Yammy he's so arrogant it's perfect. If anyone deserves it it's him. Dmdimill 05:09, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9)  Against my better judgement I am putting my vote back in. Just because I would hate for Yammy to lose by one vote and then feel guilty about it. He does have a good article, that is complete and fairly accurate. It is precisely because he is such an overlooked character that he an article as free of speculation and commentary and other things. I think he really deserves to be the feature article. Tinni 10:19, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10)  I thought a little and switch my vote. It is hard to say who will play important role in December so I decide to change my maxims and vote for Yammy. His new form makes him cool in November. Layol 23:21, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 11)  Yes, his second form is only good unexpected thing. Mayuri said Mayuri-like phrases, Unohana intimidate by Unohana-like scary face, Kenpachi brandish in Kenpachi-like style. They all were ordinary in November. But Yammy surprised me in tha last chapter. That's why I vote for him. Nirrge 23:54, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * 1)   Besides hating the guys guts, his participation in the manga is more like a filler character. He might be the Cero Espada, but he hasn't displayed any sort of amazing power, he's just idiotic brute force. Seems more like an excuse for Byakuya and Kenpachi to go all out on each other in a rather epic battle. They said it themselves "You're on the way!" he doesn't seem such a major character, and though the article is complete, it still feels very speculative when talking about his power and rank.Lia Schiffer 20:25, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  I might be wrong, but I do not expect Yammy to play an important role in the future anymore. Or does somebody doubt that he will be slain by Kenpachi and Byakuya soon? Saudade77 21:58, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  Yammy simply doesn't deserve to be next month's featured article; I mean, the guy's not even major character material despite him being the Cero Espada (For Pete's sake Kubo, the guy's a major klutz! How could you make him Aizen's strongest subordinate - not counting Gin and Tosen?), is about to get butchered by both Kenpachi and Byakuya (whom I might add have a great chemistry as a lethal pair), and most importantly, has a mediocre article at best that needs some more tweaking. Instead, my vote goes to someone who doesn't harbor these traits; someone who's deserving to be next month's featured article: Kenpachi.--Ethelion 20:40, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  He's not playing a huge role in both series of the franchise, he doesn't seem interesting other than, "I grow more power, yarrr" I mean, does anyone really know what that means, a lot of his powers are left to speculation!! He oesn't seem to have special abilities other than out and out power but we aren't able to actually see the extent of this power so to me, his article is really incomplete with a lot of claims made by the dude!! There's just not a lot of evidence that supports his all-powerful claim, even without the name of his Zanpakuto, we still have a much more complete article for Kenpachi and a lot more evidence of his power and involvement throughout the whole series!! Out of the two powerhouses, Kenpachi has a better article and I'd hate to see this character lose out on this chance when we don't know when he'll appear next!! Yammy's still generic and his article is mostly speculation!! (point taken on the removal) SunXia 15:09, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1)  And I'm the first voting for Aizen why? At this point where we've seen even the most heartless of arrancar fall, Aizen still stands out as the true evil in the series. His speech to Shinji about how he's seen and revered as a god is what did it for me. I'm sure we'll see Ichigo save Shinji before Aizen's true abilities are shown but for now, Aizen gets my vote.Blackcero 18:44, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  And iam the second voting for aizen why?We have all seen him to be true evil in the series he's speech in talking to his eneimes is someone simple and calm even when his follwers have been killed and its obvious he has a back up plan seeing has his the main bad guy and he has some good parts in both the anime and manga showing us the quality of his lines,gets my vote captain madara

Gin Ichimaru

 * 1)   He just cut Hiyori in half!!!  That has got warrant some recognition.  Also I get the feeling the next few chapters are going to have a lot more Gin Hirako the Hollow 09:45, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  I agree!!! Eventhough he didn't appear in the last two or three chaters but the fact is that he shine over everyone else!!! He cut Hiyori in half so he should be in the featured article of this month =))) Ingpriest 21:30, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Mayuri Kurotsuchi

 * 1)  Mayuri is probably the most interesting of all the Gotei 13 Captains, everything he does is for the good of his own research, rather than for the good of the Soul Society as a whole. The majority of his interactions with other characters (Uryu, in particular) also result in slightly humorous situations, which is good to provide a slight edge of comic relief to an otherwise serious battle. His page does also meet the criteria for selection. And he has most definitely recently been featured in both the anime and the manga  UltraSaint4121 14:26, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  I think this month belongs to Mayuri. He has had a significant run this month in both the manga and the anime. His article is pretty well written and he has had some amazing developments in the month. It's his month. --Shinitenshi 21:04, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Kenpachi Zaraki

 * 1)  I think Kenpachi should be the Featured Aricle Of The Month, because of many reasons to begin, he is one of the most powerfull characters in bleach, also one of those with the coolest personalities, also he is pretty strong, that was shown in his fight with Nnoitra(one of my favourites fights and for me another reason. Right now in the manga´s plot he is taking action by competing with Byakuya to see who kills Yammy first(Yammy apparently "the most powerfull Espada"). I think that in the anime he is fighting Byakuya, so his taking action in both the manga and the anime. besides he hasn´t been featured article yet.Stark373 23:45, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  A key supporting Character in the series that really began to help Ichigo develope!! He's also unique and payign a key role in both the Manga and the Anime!! He doesn't even know the name of his Zanpakuto but is so powerful he still weilds it in its released state whereas even Ichigo, whose Zanpakuto is permanently released as well, had to learn Zangetsu's name in order to weild it effectively!! An amazing character compared to some that have been featured!! SunXia 15:09, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  I think it's about time that Kenny got the featured article of the month. I mean, how can you not like this battle-crazed fun-loving guy that fights just for the hell of it? He has unlimited potential and he's owning Yammy even with his eyepatch on! This is the man who's helped Ichigo through all those tough times and who gave him a really inspiring speech about fighting during his Vizard training. If it weren't for Kenpachi, Ichigo would have died a long time ago. I say that he definitely deserves the featured article! Nnoitrafan 03:29, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  I like him and he is in the heat of the story for both the Anime and Manga. I think Kenpachi will be receiving the spotlight very soon. Kubo has said he wants to go more in depth with Kenpachi's character so I'm supporting him. Minato 20:27, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  The time is simply ripe for Kenpachis article to become the FAOTM. Saudade77 21:44, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  I don't want Yammy to win. It's as simple as that. Weedefinition 22:45, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7)  I voted for Kenpachi last month due to his major involvements in both the manga and the anime, where he's simultaneously fighting alongside and against Byakuya respectively; But since the latter has been rightfully voted as this month's featured article, it's only fitting that Kenpachi should get his turn in the spotlight next month. In addition, with Kubo wanting to go more in-depth about his character, Kenpachi's probably going to learn his sword's name due to his newly-found bond with it and unleash his own Bankai, further adding power to his already incomparable strength. Moreover, Kenpachi's article has been one of the most updated pages in the wiki, written in an almost perfect precision. Besides, it wouldn't be "Bleachy" without him.--Ethelion 07:58, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8)  I think we should show the 11th division captain because well he and Byakuya fighting each other over childish games is a little bit in both the Fake KaraKura Town Arc and Zanpakuto Unknown tales arc. --User:Avoche
 * 9)  I believe Kenpachi deserves it this month as he has started playing big parts in both the anime and manga and should get some of the spotlight. GO KENPACHI!!!!--Moe1216 19:36, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10)  I'd rather go for Tousen or Aizen since both of them seem to be having an interesting developement on the upcoming chapters, but... well, Ken-chan is a beast. His article is well written, specially since he's the only captain who hasn't learn his Zanpakutoh's name, therefore achieved Bankai, and his powers and habilities only rely on brute and raw force, that's what makes Zaraki awesome! I keep wondering why such a good/popular character has never been featured. And his lieutenant just rocks. I hope we see something from Yachiru soon as well!!! MidoriPanda 01:35, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 11)  I think that Kenpachi should be put as the new article because so far in the manga he's fighting and in the filler he's fighting two spirits. Zangetsu20


 * 1)  Nothing else to say... The article is good, but I think there are some articles which deserves to be featured before Kenpachi. --Lord Ulquiorra 15:29, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  I like Zaraki for all it's worth but Yammy really needs to win this time in my opinion. Zaraki is going to be around for a long time and can have another shot at getting featured. Currently in the story he's really not important or expendable enough to warrant it.--NewFoundGlory 19:06, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  I agree with the others; at this rate, it is obvious that Yammy will kick the bucket really soon. The chances of Zaraki dying are astronomical in comparison. I believe that Yammy is more deserving of being the article of the month, simply because this is possibly the last chance he'll ever have to get there. Mohrpheus 19:49, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  Someone up there had a reason like he doesn't know his zanpaktou's name and I love Yachiru...that's the reason I hate Kenpachi Zaraki and why he shouldn't get bankai. I pretty much hate anything about him. Plus he isn't going anywhere so why should he get the featured article when certain other characters will never get that chance. Dmdimill 05:14, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  I don't want to see his stupid face on main page. Article is good, but there are better alternatives. Besides Kenpachi will not play important role in December. --Layol 10:06, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  I think Kenpachi didn't deserve this. He didn't anything that made him spiecial in November. He just slashed and slashed. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing that I will remember over the years. Nirrge 23:58, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Hyōrinmaru

 * 1)  Although Hyōrinmaru is a pretty new addition to the Bleach characters, the article is quite good and I'd like to vote for HyōrinmaruAbigail16 18:28, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  The article is good and he is an amazing character. I think he is pretty awesome, not just because he controls the element of ice.--Kaidarita 17:18, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  I never thought I will vote a Zan spirit, but Hyorinmaru is a amazing character, and it would be okay if it's chosen, because in the anime he will have some protagonism next weeks. --Lord Ulquiorra 15:29, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  I'd rather someone with significance to both the anime AND manga get the featured article (ie Yammy, Zaraki or Kurotsuchi etc), also, for the obvious reason that he is a relatively new character, his article is a bit lacking... UltraSaint4121 17:06, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Minazuki

 * 1) Minazuki has to be one the best looking spirits.Being of the zanpaktou of one of the most revered captains makes her powerful.

Invalid Reasons to Oppose a Candidate (see Talk Page)
Yammy:
 * 1)   Yammy has always struck me as too simple of a character.  All he has is anger and power, his traits are all skin deep and he doesn't have the complexity or mystery of other characters.  Yammy is exactly the same as when he first appeared. Hirako the Hollow 10:30, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  Still a generic, uninteresting character whose just being made to look the fool by both Byakuya and Kenpachi!! SunXia 11:52, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  He is not that interesting of a character. He possesses no draw that makes him unique nor is he a stand-out character. He doesn't have the flair of Starrk or the draw of Ulquiorra. There are so many other characters worthy of being featured. --Shinitenshi 21:01, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  I'm shifting my opposition from Kenpachy to Yammy because I find Yammy disagreeable, and since it seems Yammy might win and Kenpachi is his biggest Rival, I'll shift my support to Kenpachi as well. Weedefinition 22:45, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  Despite being the most powerful Espada, I don't think that there's anything special about him. He DOES seem like a filler character; his background wouldn't really be important, as well as his future. He was absent for a LARGE portion of this arc, and even though he's come back, he has yet to show me any interest in him. Hence, I oppose him being the December Featured Article. Animeluvr92 22:36, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Mayuri:
 * 1)  I get one oppose vote so I'm using it against Mayuri as I want Kenpachi to be the featured article and Mayuri is the only one whom threatens him at the moment. Minato 20:30, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Kenpachi:
 * 1)  I mean we pretty much know all about him and with that theres not much reason in him being the featured article.--Rikudousennin 16:11, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
