Talk:Hidetomo Kajōmaru

Alive?
Is he alive? He was sliced in two, wasn't he? Женёq talk 20:33, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * In the last frame we saw of him, he was alive. Until there is confirmation of his death, he will not be listed as so--
 * The last frame we saw him in shows his head cut in two. I don't think this wound isn't mortal, even for a shinigami. Женёq talk 20:55, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hiyori was cut in half as well and lived. Until we have proof he is dead, he will not be listed as so.--
 * Closing this, seriously, enough with the lacking proof argument!!

Yes. He is dead.
I don't like to speak up much on this wiki, because everyone whose opinion matters seems to be painfully set in their ways, but this is just being stubborn (don't go writing this off as some ad hominem on other users; read on). This man was vertically cut in half. The Hiyori argument is bull. She was cut in half at the waist. Shinigami are super durable, so she survived without bleeding out. Most of her major organs are in her torso. This guys head and brain were split in half. Nothing would keep this man alive unless he is later revealed to be some Lovecraftian blob master. This man is not part of the Zero Squad, or a Sternritter. He's fodder with a title at best. There is no reason story-wise for him to ever appear again. If, for some god-forsaken reason, Kubo decides we really need to see this guy alive again, it would have to involve Orihime to make any sense. Orihime could resurrect him, but even then, he is dead. Because he is so irrelevant to the story, there is no reason for him to ever be "confirmed dead." This minor character is dead. D-E-A-D. 09:27,11/29/2015 09:27, November 29, 2015 (UTC)
