Talk:Izuru Kira

Iduru Kira
Now that the databook has been released, name errors are coming to light. It indicates this character's name is Iduru Kira. I don't have a quotable source though, so I'm just mentioning it in here now. Damascus7 (talk) 05:49, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

First of all, never merge the Talk Header with your post. Secondly, the administrators are currently handling everything regarding the new databook, so it has already been noted. Until we can get everything sorted out, we will be the only ones handling everything regarding the new databook. Arrancar109 (Talk)  05:54, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Wabisuke's Shikai Image
I feel as though the current image illustrating Wabusike's shikai is unsatisfactory. It's low quality for one thing, and the camera isn't really focused on the blade itself. I thought perhaps a better image could be taken from the first time his shikai is invoked during Izuru's fight with Rangiku. I'm not sure which episode it was, but if memory serves, there's a pretty dramatic shot of its new shape. If anyone has a reason for keeping the current image, though, that'd be fine, too.

Nevermind, I guess. Looks like someone found a better image. Thanks! Avolling (talk) 05:18, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Eye color
I just found a HQ picture of the Lieutenant spread that shows Kira's eyes as being brown, but I wanted to corroborate before changing anything in the Appearance section, so I checked the color spread for the Zanpakuto Poll and it shows his eyes are grey, so which one should we use? Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  21:11, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, since there are two conflicting manga sources, I think we should go by the anime until we have another manga source to verify. Since the anime shows his eyes as gray and there is one manga source to back this up, we should use that.--God (Pray)  22:05, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Aren't his eyes blue in the anime? That's what we have in the article, though I can't really tell by the picture, but they look blue, and card gums and DVD covers show them as blue. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  23:35, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

Truly, they look grey to me. Well then if they are blue im lost. I think it should be blue then as it is the only consistent source we have--God (Pray)  00:11, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

They look blue to me in his picture from his academy days. Media:Vlcsnap-1971888.png Ltjuno (talk) 00:21, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

I checked all my anime screencaps and they are blue in the anime. But our policy says that we take manga colors to describe characters. Hence why I find myself so lost. Because the only two sources I found have different colors. There's another color spread for another poll (the third, I think for 11th to 20th or something like that), but you can't really see his eyes there, and the Bootleg shows his eyes as black dots. And there are color pages for chapter 323, but I couldn't see his eye color clearly either. Volume cover 15 doesn't show his face good enough to catch his eyes. Currently, I've run out of ideas as to where to search for any other color spread to confirm his eye color. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  00:32, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I understand what you mean with manga taking priority over anime. But, if nothing can be found as far as the manga goes. Then we should definitely go with blue. Ltjuno (talk) 00:40, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Well the anime policy states that manga always trumps anime but only in clearly defined circumstances, if I remember correctly, in an ambiguous case where the manga is inconsistent, the anime can be used as it is consistent. The precedent for this was Tosen bankai rings.--God (Pray)  00:46, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

But in Tosen's bankai rings case, the anime was preferred where it matched the manga (9 rings). In this case, the anime doesn't match any of the manga sources. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  01:53, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Armbands?
i thought it was hisagi who used the armbands that explode but on kira's page it says he uses them

It is, but he also used one once in the anime to let off a distracting explosion to unnerve Kazeshini. (Zanpakuto unknown tales arc) Please sign your posts with four tildes (four of these: ~)Aeron Solo wuz here (If you wanna talk)  22:14, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Dead?
In Chapter 494, Kira's midsection is blown off and his Reiatsu vanishes according to Akon, as he declares 1000 shinigami dead. Does this mean we have lost Kira?

Wow, we're really jumping the gun here, aren't we? We're not going to consider Izuru dead as of yet, because he wasn't specifically stated to be dead, nor did we get factual proof that he died. Yes his wound is serious, likely even fatal, but keep in mind Hiyori was bifurcated in Fake Karakura Town, and she survived that. So his status will be kept as alive until it is stated that he is dead, or proven that he is dead. Arrancar109 (Talk)  12:32, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Shinten
Is there an official description on what shinten is. Is is it a drug developed by 12th div scientist. Does every shinigami carry shinten on them, ect...--Urie12 (talk) 02:46, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * To my knowledge, only Kira has ever been shown using it. I wouldn't be surprised if it were carried by members of the 4th Division, but that's just what I think. I don't believe an official description has ever been provided.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:32, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hanatarō was first shown using it. It's exactly what he says it is. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  03:42, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * In which chapter did Hanataro use Shinten.--Urie12 (talk) 20:42, March 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Chapter 115.--Xilinoc (talk) 04:59, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

First Manga Appearance
The character page says that Izuru's first manga appearance is in chapter 83, but he is also listed under characters who appear in chapter 72. The manga image in question is not very good, so a vote to determine if it is Kira, or not, is probably required. Stefan (Shikai - &#34;Rust &#38; Shatter&#34;) (talk) 22:51, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
