Arturo Plateado

Arturo Plateado (lit. Silver Arthur in Spanish) is an arrancar designed by Sega, in conjunction with Tite Kubo, specifically for Bleach: Shattered Blade. Arturo has long turquoise hair, wane pupil-less eyes, and the remains of his hollow mask on his right cheek, his appearance almost mimicking Grimmjow's. It appears to be the jaw, but is extended around the back of his head. His hollow hole is located below the base of his neck.

Arturo's zanpakutō is called Fenice (不滅王, lit. Immortal King, but the pronunciation is Spanish for phoenix), but its release command is unknown. He has two different sets of energy wings: the first, which constantly are on his back throughout gameplay, are two green wings which look similar to the single wing Uryū Ishida grew when he entered the Quincy Final Form. The second set, which appear during his ultimate attack mode, are made of multi-colored flame.

Arturo is a self-made arrancar so old that he is only recognized by Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai and Yoruichi Shihōin via her family's scrolls. Two thousand years prior to current Bleach canon, he stormed Soul Society and was sealed beneath the Sōkyoku. When the Sōkyoku was destroyed during Ichigo's rescue of Rukia Kuchiki at the end of the Soul Society arc, the seal on Arturo was broken and he was freed once again. In the game, he decides to impersonate various figures from captains to zanpakutō spirits to trick others into regaining the pieces of the destroyed Sōkyoku in order to absorb them into his body and become more powerful. Depending on the game's outcome, he is either purified and defeated or obtains the Sōkyoku and carries on to decimate the Soul Society.

In the game, you have the choice of carrying out Ichigo, Renji, Tōshirō, Yoruichi, Kenpachi Zaraki and Byakuya Kuchiki story modes. After you beat all of those you can be Arturo and carry out your plan to destroy Soul Society!
