Talk:Isane Kotetsu

First appearance in the manga
Chapter 147 was my best guess, I could not found her any earlier. If anyone knows better, please correct it. I know that she appears earlier in the anime, in Episode 25, wheres she attends the lieutenants' assembly, but in the manga, she is not present at that time. Also in the anime, she is seen talking with Hanataro afte the latter is captured and delivered back to the 4th Division by the two 3rd seats of the 13th Division, but it has no corresponding scene in the manga either.

Actually, her first manga appearence is ch. 109 (though her face is covered by Kaname's speech bubble).Orochidayu 21:58, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Can you really call that her "first appearance" is absolutely none of her head is showing? Twocents 22:24, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's later confirmed, that it is her, so I guess that counts as a first appearance. Domlith 14:31, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Image
The picture is sort of old shouldn't it be replaced with a newer one from the current arc if there is a better one?--SalmanH 16:17, September 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I put up the current image. Like you and Tinni said (though Tinni didn't mean her specifically), her old image is from the Soul Society arc and, to be honest, always did kinda bothered me. I actually originally went for a mugshot in both the Hueco Mundo and Anime-only arcs, but I couldn't find one that seemed satisfying. So I settled for this one from the Hueco Mundo arc.

I think the current picture of Isane is really out of place, not to mention blurry. How about this one from episode 241? Tinni 15:49, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

That's quite good. She's facing forward, gets all of her head in, can make out the details of her eye colour & her ear-rings & hair braids, plus it's free of background distractions. It's got my vote. --Yyp 16:06, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

I say go for it. Arrancar109 16:14, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Going for it. ^.^ Tinni 16:22, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

I think I may have also found one:--SalmanH 16:32, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Front on is better than side on but that is a better image quality. Could be cropped to get rid of the background buildings. But the side-on thing bothers me. She isn't really looking at the audience and isn't that a requirement for the profile pic? Tinni 16:38, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Actually it is, my apologies I forgot about that.

Trivia section clean-up
Removed trivia
 * Isane's Itegumo is one of three named Zanpakutō, among those of the Gotei 13, that aren't taking part in the Zanpakutō uprising of the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc. The others are 4th division 7th seat Hanatarō Yamada's Hisagomaru, and Head Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Ryūjin Jakka. While the absence of Ryūjin Jakka has been explained, those of Itegumo and Hisagomaru have not. Despite this fact, Isane has mentioned that Itegumo hadn't been responsive to her.

This is not trivia! The fact that her zanpakuto spirit hasn't turned up yet might be worth mentioning in the unknown tales arc synopsis but it's not a trivia! That arc is suppose to go for sometime yet. Her zan spirit might yet turn up. Tinni 11:13, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
