Myself as a person
Well, hello there. I'm Xilinoc, and I edit things a lot, mostly for the purpose of grammar, wording, and cleanup. I'm a human being, in case you weren't aware, so I can hold a fairly decent conversation, if that's what you want. Otherwise, feel free to ask me stuff about grammar and such.

Any Xilinoc you see in this vast and uncharted Internet is me, always and forever.

I've been a fan of Bleach for a full dang decade now. When I was little, I would see Ichigo on the cover of Jump issues, but I never read the chapters inside. Eventually, I got into Naruto and asked a friend where he read the latest chapters. He directed me to a scanlation site that prominently featured Naruto, as well as One Piece and Bleach - the "Big Three" of the scanlation world, if you will. After I had gotten up to date on Naruto, I decided to start reading Bleach, and I was hooked. Despite its flaws, I love the storyline, and especially think that Kubo did the current and final arc justice in terms of pacing, reveals, content, and fights, more so than any other arc.

As for me personally, you'll never find me making major, earth-shattering edits to pages, simply because by the time I read the latest chapter, someone's already added the information to the Wiki. As a result, I mainly deal in the grammar, cleanup, and wording of articles well that's not true anymore, nowadays I work on image replacement, template updating, manga image uploading, summary rewriting, and the occasional page overhaul...though I do also still catch mistakes in need of fixing now and again.

I try my best to follow the rules on this wiki and not piss off the admins, but unlike the Pope, I cannot and do not claim to be infallible. I'm bound to make a mistake here and there, so if I do, I'd appreciate it if you inform me so I can avoid repeating it in the future. Thanks in advance.

Favorite Episodes
In my self-imposed quest to give all the anime episodes the summaries/images they deserve, I've discovered that many of them, even in the early seasons...kinda suck, generally from unnecessary content cutting/changing or bad filler/padding. However, there are some I legitimately enjoyed from start to finish, and I figured I should list them here in order just for future reference.


 * Casual Soul Realm Assault Trip! (lots of fun and maybe the most faithful episode of the first 20)
 * Ichigo Becomes a Hollow! (OMZ and Nothing Can Be Explained appear for the first time)
 * Penetrate the Center with an Enormous Bombshell? (the first truly faithful adaptation in the entire show)
 * Orihime Targeted (Uryū really does get to be cool)
 * The Star and the Stray Dog (Filler/padding that's actually good for once)
 * The Immortal Man (Well-animated raw power on display)
 * Ishida, The Utmost Limits of Power! (unnecessary nighttime setting aside, faithful adaptation of a great fight)
 * Rukia's Nightmare (censorship aside, legitimately heartrending like the manga)
 * Renji, Oath of the Soul! Death Match with Byakuya (prefer white to pink but this is still done really well, one of the most faithful episodes)
 * Conclusion of the Death Match! White Pride and Black Desire (another really faithful and well-animated episode)
 * Aizen Stands! Horrible Ambitions (shocked at how much they didn't censor here)
 * Break Through! The Trap Hidden in the Labyrinth (an actually clever plot from Pierrot)
 * True Identity of the Devil, the Secret which is Revealed (canon welding, how about that)
 * Bount! The Ones Who Hunt Souls (nice - also, great fight with Goethe)
 * Gathering at the Place of Fortune! The Man Who Makes His Move (legitimately good conclusion to the Hō and Ban fight, not one I expected)
 * Memories of an Eternally Living Clan (one of the best flashbacks in the entire series, canon or otherwise)
 * Yoshino's Decision of Death (pain)
 * Gray Shadow, the Secret of the Dolls (second-best flashback in the arc)
 * Byakuya is summoned! The Gotei 13 start to move! (honestly incredible tag-team between Sado and Rangiku, the pairing no one would ever expect)
 * Shinigami and Quincy, the Reviving Power (first legit fight with Kariya, so good)
 * The Bount Assault! The Gotei 13's Destructive Earthquake (bar none the best woman-only fight in the entire series, hell yeah Yoshi)
 * Mayuri's Bankai! Sawatari・Clash of the Demon (surprisingly good at making pre-comedy Mayuri an entertaining "protagonist")
 * 10th Division's Death Struggle! The Release of Hyōrinmaru (look at that, Hitsugaya being strong but not fanservicey and Koga doing his darn best)
 * The Wailing Bount! The Last Clash (one of the best final battles in the entire series, love you Kariya)
 * Ichigo and Rukia, Thoughts in the Revolving Sky (the only time a filler conclusion isn't happy)
 * Reunion, Ichigo and Rukia and Shinigami (the Yammy beatdown and Ichigo's depresso expresso are way better than they should be, not-blood aside)
 * Ikkaku's Bankai! The Power that Breaks Everything (really well-animated aside from a couple shots and, y'know, BAAAAAAAAAAANKAAAAAAAAAAAAAI)
 * Zaraki Division's Secret Story! The Lucky Men (oh hey, actually good canon expansion stuff with quality animation for once)
 * Urgent Report! Aizen's Terrifying Plan! (some great music choices, accurate and clever content adapting, and a rare good change to the source material with Zangetsu's cloak)
 * Rangiku's Tears, the Sorrowful Parting of Brother and Sister (honestly much better as a filler mini-arc than I thought it would be, with some clever writing and power balancing)
 * Battle of bad faith, Aizen's trap (decent animation, clever method of defeating the bad guy, and setup for the canon storyline that's about to resume - I dig it all)
 * Goodbye..., Kurosaki (the rare feat of properly expanding one chapter into an entire episode with good/on-model animation, great colors and music choices, and good writing for the padding bits)
 * Forest of Menos! The Search for the Missing Rukia/Ashido, the Shinigami Who Came from the Past/Through the Crumbling Forest, a Million Menos (the only "canon" filler-arc, and one that's pretty well-paced and entertaining throughout - Ashido is a solid character too)
 * Ichigo Strikes Back! This is my Bankai (great expansion with Dordoni and probably the best overall episode featuring him, doesn't change anything for the worse or remove impact)
 * Right Arm of the Giant, Left Arm of the Devil (good expansion to the shortest Privaron Espada fight with plenty of extra moments for Sado and solid animation throughout, plus a banging use of Dominio Del Chad)
 * Testament, Your Heart is Right Here... (sucks that Pierrot decided to put this FOUR EPISODES after Aaroniero actually went Resurrección and just totally screwed anime-onlies out of a proper viewing experience, but on the adaptation side of things it was really good besides that, especially with the music)
 * Desperate Effort vs. Desperate Effort! The Hollowfied Ichigo (high-budget episode that doesn't really censor anything and retains all the crazy impact/speed of the fight, well done)
 * The Moment of Conclusion, the End of Grimmjow (more censorship than I would've liked, but otherwise a pretty well-done and emotional sendoff to the 4:3 era and early Hueco Mundo arc)
