About me
Well, here I go by Arrancar109. I've actually been a fan of Bleach since 2006 when it first hit North America. Overtime, I found myself getting into the subs as well, and then the manga. I try to keep my eyes open for as much Bleach info as possible.

However, I'm one of those guys who hates being spoiled about manga chapters that are yet to be translated and released, and as such, if I find any spoiler info, I will immediately delete it without a second thought. Guys, seriously, wait until the chapter is translated and released. But if you feel the urge to post the info, then please use the Spoiler page instead. Not very many people like being spoiled, and I think we should be fair to them.

Also, I'm not one who enjoys unproven or unhinted speculation, so I will get rid of those too. Some things have been implied, yes, but don't put on opinions and theories that make no sense.

Oh yeah, I am also somewhat of a grammar freak. I don't go looking for it, but from time to time, I will edit some grammar to correct it if I find it on an article I'm browsing through. We seem to have a new Grammar Corner up, so it seems like we won't have too much to worry about.

Those notes aside, I can get along fine with most other contributors on this wikia and hope that we can all work together to make this wikia a great one.

Policies
This Wiki has been growing ever since I first joined, and after we were able to get some more active administrators, we eventually found ourselves creating a system of policies which helped cut down on edit wars, held back spoiler information, cut out every trace of junk trivia, stop crack theories from appearing, as well as many other things that were once plaguing this Wiki. For anyone who joins, please take the time to read our policies, as they are for the benefit of all and will be enforced.
 * Manual of Style - Guidelines for how your edits on the wiki should look and what is acceptable practice.
 * Spoiler Policy - Basically, do not add content from a chapter/episode until it is released in English.
 * Image Policy - Outlines rules for uploading and using images.
 * User Page Policy - Outlines the rules for user pages and user talk pages.
 * Speculation Policy - Outlines the Wiki's stance on speculation.

Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo's been one of my favorites since the beginning. He's shown some pretty favorable traits throughout the course of the series. Aside from his desire to protect those close to him, he has shown that he has a code of honor and that he is observant to what goes on around him. His powers are also a point of interest, as his unusual growth potential has been evident throughout the entire story, and is clearly a focal point to the plot. Both Ichigo's Zanpakutō and his Hollow powers are interesting aspects of his power, especially with the recent change of his Hollow powers. He's really become freakishly powerful after his 3-month training period in the Dangai Precipice World. Exactly what could have happened during that training to increase his power that exponentially?

Yoruichi Shihōin
Yoruichi is an intriguing character in the series. I've always wondered why a cat could talk until she revealed that she was actually a Shinigami. Her knowledge of Soul Society and experience as a teacher has helped many of the characters in the story. Her status as the ex-commander of the Onmitsukidō was a big revelation and explained why she was so strong, even though she has been out of combat for over 100 years before fighting Soifon in battle. Naturally, her revelation in the Turn Back the Pendulum series as the 2nd Division captain didn't surprise me. Still, I wonder what her Shikai and her Bankai are like. Hopefully we'll find out. Either way, she has still proven to be a powerful character in the series.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Grimmjow has always been a favorite of mine since his debut. Many of the Espada follow Aizen loyally, but Grimmjow's not afraid to do what he wants, even if it does conflict with Aizen's interests. Despite his nature as a loose-cannon, Grimmjow has shown to have some form of honor, since he wanted Ichigo at full strength for their final fight, instead of fighting him while he's half-dead, and he saved Orihime in return of her fixing his arm, which restored his power as a result. Aside from Grimmjow's independent nature, he has also shown to be a powerful and very proficient in fighting, which is evident from his fights with Ichigo, as well as his fights with Ulquiorra and Shinji. His Resurrección is impressive as well, definitely one of my favorite Resurreccións. At this point, I just wish we knew what became of him. Unless Kubo has some role for him in the future, it seems ridiculous to play the fate game with him. Hopefully we'll learn what became of him.

Kenpachi Zaraki
Kenpachi has always been one of my favorites. His initial introduction showed that he was on a completely different mindset that the other captains, seeking only to battle strong opponents and get enjoyment out of the battle while almost ignoring people he considers weak. Even though this personality usually warrants others to believe him to be nothing more than a powerful brute, he has shown to be very analytical and intelligent, able to point out certain aspects of other characters, and to exploit the weaknesses of his opponents if it becomes necessary. Although he does not know his own Zanpakutō's name, he has proven that he can hold is own against some of the most powerful characters in the series.

Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
Nel was always an enigma to me. I initially found it interesting to see an Arrancar kid, but after reanalyzing her from what you learn from the series, I found her more intriguing. But it was kind of hard to take her seriously most of the time, since she provided mostly comic relief. I don't think anybody was expecting her sudden transformation during Ichigo's encounter with Nnoitra, as well as her ability to hold off Nnoitra. She has proven to be a very powerful character in the series. In addition to her strength as a former Espada, she also shows a less violent nature (even in her adult form), something not seen in most Hollows and Arrancar. I seriously do wonder what's going to happen with her as the series progresses, but given the current events occurring in the manga right now, we won't know for awhile.

Shūsuke Amagai
Ah yes, Amagai. Probably one of the more shocking of the characters on this list, given that he's the only anime-exclusive character here. I initially had concerns about Amagai, as I (among many other people no doubt) thought that making an anime-exclusive character a captain was a step too radical for the anime, and that he was either destined to die or step down as captain. But I have to say, Amagai grew on me as his story arc progressed. He has proven that he has great leadership skills, as well as being an effective strategist, in addition to being a powerful combatant. While it was a shocker to everyone that he was the true mastermind in the Amagai arc, we learn that he, too, was a victim. Additionally, in the end he has shown that he regrets what he did and that he really did enjoy his time serving as captain. To this day, Amagai is still my favorite anime-exclusive character.
