Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1) If you look at the chapters that were published during January chapter 387 (we got it on Christmas day but only because it broke its release date by almost two weeks!), chapter 388 and chapter 389, it's all been the Aizen Sosuke show. His article has been the one that was chiefly updated during this month. Everybody else was incidental to his story. In addition, Aizen has a fairly good article. It's well referenced, well written, well illustrated and is generaly a good article that is worthy of being a feature. Whatever your personal feeling towards Aizen as a character, you can't deny that he is the most worthy candidate given the manga events of this months chapters.

 * 2) This month's chapters seem to have been dedicated to Aizen's character, elaborating on how powerful and cruel he truly is. As the primary antagonist, his article has always been given a generous amount of attention - there are few grammatical errors, almost no spelling issues, and it presents his character concisely yet accurately. This month has allowed us to flesh out his character even more; it's only appropriate that he is featured. Mohrpheus 14:27, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Another month and again I vote for Aizen. His article is fairly short but it presents a ton of information. It is one of the few articles I have come across that reads very well. He deserves my vote --Godisme 02:42, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) The article for Aizen is as detail as the article for Ichigo. And Aizen featured in the series as much as Ichigo too. Recently he's the center of the show. He's really should be the feature this month. DeliManjoo 03:39, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen

 * 1) A great deal of important information has been revealed about this character in recent chapters, including his motives for becoming a Shinigami and then defecting, Resurrección, and his death. Tōsen has never been in a featured article on the Bleach Wiki, and with his recent death, he may become much less important in future manga and anime. I feel that this is the most relevant time to have him as a featured character, as he may not have the opportunity in the future. In addition, his article contains things that have never been seen before in Bleach, such as a Shinigami with a Resurrección. The article itself is very informative and has numerous images to go provide a visual outline for the timeline of his events, as well as his array of Zanpakutou powers and abilites. It's very interesting to read (not to mention controversial) and I think it is more deserving to be the Featured Article, as Aizen's article (which is strong also) will be greatly expanded in the upcoming chapters.

Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1) Okay well i've voted for Aizen before and i'll vote again. Aizen has one of the most detailed articles out there and is a character who is in or mentioned in almost every arc and event. Not to mention he's the best villian in the Bleach series and is probably on of the most important characters out there. -- erikaakire

 * 1) What can I say, he's the one that's at the center, the very heart of the storm. The only other guy in this position right now is Muramasa, and he doesn't really count, being anime exclusive. I was sitting here thinking of good reasons to vote for Toshiro, and I took a look in the previously featured articles. Guess what, Aizen wasn't there. Now I know Aizen hasn't had much screen time during the last year and a half, that the featured articles existed, and I know the featured article is only meant to be about a character that's had a recent affect on the series, but if you look at the bigger picture, Aizen is the catalyst behind everything that's happened in the past three arcs, and now that he's at the center of things, shouldn't we credit him for his past actions and feature his article?

 * 1) Aizen is one of the coolest shinigami in Bleach! Only Ichimaru Gin is cooler, but I couldn't vote on him... Almatsumoto 16:29, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  Fair time we feature the main villian! In my honest opinion, the most amazing bad guy ever created. He might be the most egocentric character as well, but... damn, it's just Aizen, there's nothing more to say! Respecting the article, I think it has fair information about everything! I'd call it one of the best. We basically know little of Kyouka Suigetsu's powers, yet, with the slight informaiton Kubo has shown of his Zanpakuto makes it a large, nice and well constructed page. Not only his sword, his powers overall: He's practically a master over every existing technique on the Bleach universe. And at the current arc, even if all the Shinigami/Vizard and everything that might come around team up, I can see Aizen winning with ease unless Yamamoto takes part on this. Main reason I honestly thing Aizen deserves February's Featured Article. MidoriPanda 05:13, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Aizen has one of the best documented entries on the Bleach wiki, his wiki reads very easily, he is a very powerful character , he is a master manipulator and a very powerful foe for both Ichigo , the Gotei 13 , and the Vizards .

 * 1) Aizen truly has a great article. It is free of grammatical mistakes, is concise and is up to date. The article shows the history of the entire series in a way. It is very well done.Theblade96 02:52, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  Aizen should be this upcoming months featured article because I believe that Aizen's true powers, possibly a vizard mask and ressurection, and bankai will be revealed soon, not to mention he's the main antagonist of the entire series. Boogerbaloozoo 22:45, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Kaname Tōsen

 * 1) I pretty much agree with SerialSniper. Tōsen is the first non-hollow character to show Resurrección, as well as the first canon shinigami to die in anything that wasn't a flashback in the entire series. This makes his death not only the first shinigami death, but also the first death of a Captain, and the first death of one of the SS defectors. And as Sniper said, now that he is gone, we almost certainly won't see much about him anymore...Gerokeymaster 01:58, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * No valid reason.

Muramasa

 * 1) I pick Muramasa to be February's article because he's the most popular character in the Zanpakuto Unknown tales Arc, apparently the arc is soon going to end and, his sword master was related to the Kuchiki clan and was locked away because his ego got the best of him. January 29th, 2010
