Bleach Wiki:Inconsistency Project

About the Project
The Inconsistency Project aims to find glaring inconsistencies among different parts of the Bleach series, including but not limited to: contradictory information between the manga and the anime or between two different anime episodes. All media within the Bleach universe is acceptable, from filler arcs to movies to video games.

Contribution Box
For those who contribute to the project, you may use the Contributon Box associated with the project.

How to Contribute
If you come across anything while reading the Bleach manga, watching the anime, or playing one of the many video games that you believe fits within the scope of the project, add it to the section below titled User Found Inconsistencies. This Project Page will not have a references section, so please do not use tags, as they will not show up. To cite the source of any inconsistencies you find, simply include them with the information ("Episode 366", "Chapter 420", "Bleach: Dark Souls" are examples of how to cite the sources). When they are added, the Project Head or another member of the Bleach Wiki team will determine if it is a valid inconsistency.

User Found Inconsistencies
Place any inconsistencies you find in this section to be judged:
 * Ikkaku Madarame's Bankai appears normal instead of broken. (Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion).

Approved Inconsistencies
The following is a list of inconsistencies that have been approved after being placed on the above list:
 * In Bleach: The 3rd Phantom, the captain of the Fifth Division one hundred years before the start of the series is Seigen Suzunami, rather than Shinji Hirako. Despite this, Shinji still appears in the game as a member of the Visored.
 * In Bleach: Memories of Nobody, instead of destroying a victim's body with a Hōmonka, a second stab from Suzumebachi bifurcates its victim, who fades away afterwards.
 * After defeating Sōsuke Aizen in the anime, Ichigo Kurosaki does not immediately lose his powers as he did in the manga. Instead, he retains them for one more whole story arc written specifically for the anime.
 * In Episode 250, an unseated Shinigami is shown wielding two swords while not in his Shikai state. However, it was directly stated by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto that the only Shinigami who's Zanpakutō has this property is Shunsui Kyōraku.
 * Although Kenpachi Zaraki has no skill in Hohō, there are instances among other Bleach media where he displays an ability to use it:
 * In Episode 249, Zaraki uses Shunpo to move in front of a rogue Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō.
 * In Bleach: Fade to Black, Zaraki is shown standing in midair for a short period of time before being dragged down by Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō.
