Talk:Kensei Muguruma

Shikai Appearance
On the newest picture of Kensei using his shikai to stab the Gillian, it is clearly grey and larger in this situation then it is in a previous picture we have of his shikai which is black. Has his shikai's color and shape changed or is this the animator's fault making a change to it? HellBlade (talk) 08:37, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Kensei's Shikai was animated incorrectly to begin with. Its hilt is supposed to be reminiscent of a Japanese sword (wrappings), but in the anime it was just colored solid black. What you saw might have been a correction to its animation. Mohrpheus (talk) 14:30, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I double checked the picture in question. Judging by how it looks, it seems like the animators corrected the Shikai's appearance. The handle only looks so large because the pic is at a really weird angle. Mohrpheus (talk) 14:46, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

That may be true; however, according to his shikai's discription section, it lists it as a combat knife with a black guard and small ring on the hilt's blunt edge. The new picture shows it is a grayish-silver type guard. Which is correct? HellBlade (talk) 00:47, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I certainly believe that Kensei's shikai image needs to change. I got what I consider a good pic of his shikai from episode 285 and would like to swap out the shikai image with this new one. Tinni  (Talk)  16:47, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, it should be changed. This one is good. 19:33, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Done! I also changed the Shikai description as it was erroneous, mentioning a black handle instead of a silver one. It probably does need a line about how his combat knife still has a sword like hilt wrapping but I am not good with these descriptions so left it alone. Hopefully it won't be a problem as the new image does who off the hilt really well. Tinni  (Talk)  20:38, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
