Números

The are the combat specialists in Sōsuke Aizen's army of Arrancar.

Overview
The Números are each assigned a two digit number at birth to indicate their age. Thus, while Número 11 is the oldest, Número 99 is the youngest. The basic Número uniform consists of a white-collared jacket and robes held with a black sash. However, the uniform is customizable, giving each Número a sense of individuality. The fighting ability of the Números is thought to be superior to all other Arrancar, except for the Espada (current and former). The strongest Números are chosen by the Espada to become their Fracción.

Fracción
The (Fracciónes in the English dub; Spanish for "Fractions") are a subsection of the Números that directly serve a specific Espada. The number of Fracción for any given Espada varies: Nnoitra has just one, while Szayelaporro has at least a dozen. There are a few Espada that prefer to fight alone, such as Yammy Llargo, Aaroniero Arruruerie, Zommari Rureaux, and Ulquiorra Cifer, and chose not to have any fracción under their command. The fracción are all fiercely loyal to their respective Espada masters (such as Baraggan's and Harribel's) and will diligently follow any order their masters give them.
