Talk:Arrancar

Names
Kubo has mentioned before that several Arrancar are named after designers, but Grimmjow is the only character listed to have this distinction (Grimmjow comes from Nicholas Grimshaw). However, Kubo would later list the name backgrounds of several other Arrancar, some of which have been labeled as speculations in the past. Along with the reasoning behind Grimmjow's first name, other explanations listed include how:
 * Wonderwiess's name comes from Marcel Wanders, Jaegerjaquez stems from a watch manufacturer called Jaeger-LeCoultre, Starrk from Philippe Starck, Ulquiorra from Patricia Urquiola, Aeronierro from Eero Aarnio, Apache from Emilio Pucchi.

Again, some names were considered speculative in the past, but all of the information listed above can easily be found in the Tite Kubo interview section of MASKED. Not only that, everything has confirmed by Kubo himself. As a result, shouldn't the listed Arrancar have explanations to their names added under their page's trivia section? --Glass Heart 19:21, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing that, since no one has made comment about this, it's fine to add this information?? If no one has second thoughts or is opposition to this, I'll be adding this to the trivia sections of the listed Arrancar. --Glass Heart 07:07, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hybrids
Just looking through the article and there's something that caught my attention. It says:

"The generic term for an Arrancar is Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid."

However, in the source cited (chapter 175, page 11), no mention is made of Arrancar. Aizen is talking about Shinigami overcoming their limits by becoming Shinigami-Hollow hybrids. I don't believe Aizen would be talking about Arrancars, since they come from Hollows and not Shinigami.

I'm trying to find a better source for the claim, but I think it should be removed until an actual source is found.

And if they are in fact hybrids (which, according to the definition of a hybrid, they wouldn't be), would they not be called Hollow-Shinigami Hybrids?
