Talk:Gin Ichimaru

Wonderwice is scared of him?
Um... i suppose i'm not completely up to date, so i may have missed this. When do they show Wonderwice as being scared of him? Acacia Akiyama 01:31, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't say scared, but Wonderweiss doesn't trust him. During the Hueco Mundo arc, when he finds Tosen spying on Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu, Wonderweiss stops him and Ichimaru "guesses" that Wonderweiss doesn't like him. Arrancar109 01:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You think we should clarify that then? In the article it says both Rukia and Wonderwice are scared of him.Acacia Akiyama 01:55, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Repetition
Is it really necessary to repeat the information on his Arrancar research appearances twice? It is explained twice, with the exact same words. I removed it once, but it was replaced. I will remove it once more now i have this here to let you know the info is still there even if i remove it, it is just in a different section. Acacia Akiyama 16:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

An Abillity of his Shikai left out.
I went back to the soul society arc chapters and noticed something.When Azien orders him to kill Rukia,Gin uses his shikai but instead of hit Rukia he hits Byakuya. When Gin retracts his shikai it is shown slithering and bending back like a snake instead of just coming straight back to him.This should be noted that Gin sjikai can also bend like a snake..Here is the chap and page to where this happens. http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/177/03/ I have also noticed that his that his shikai phrase changes depending on the gender of his target. When he targets a female, he replaces him with her and vice versa. Heres the pages to that. http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/176/22/ http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/132/11/  http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/75/14/ , also another thing I noticed it thta sometimes when he use his shikai the cutting part of his balde is sticking up, like a reverse balde sword. Heres more links. http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/75/17/ http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/177/04/ noted this this instance if you look at where his balde connects to the hilt you see whether its upside down seeing as the rest of the blade is covered in Byakuya's blood. Heres an instance when its not upside up or hwoever you say it. http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/132/11/ Saimaroimaru 04:59, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Well having looked at what you have provided there are some issues. The snake thing is not consistent in what we have seen of his zanpakuto ability it commonly shoots straight, its never been seen in that instance but one time. Ill list that much about him changing the pronoun for a specific target. Its not really noteworthy whether its upside down or not because its a simple action he can hold it up side down for a upward cutting action or the right way for a downward or either way if its just shooting straight, its depending on his preference, but its no more then rotating his wrist or holding it a certain way like anyone else with a sword can do.

I see what you mean but i ooked at the one instance its not upside dode or whatever but when it hits Matsumoto blade its upside down again http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/132/13/. I think its worth mentioning that when ever he uses his shikai it ends up upside down at some point.Snake thing should be mentioned as well seeing as it is apart of Shinso abillties even if rarely done, its like saying Byakuya white sword thing from his bankai shouldn't be mentioned because it was only used once.Saimaroimaru 22:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Why should it be mentioned what i already said about it. Its cause he chooses to do that it doesnt necessarily mean anything as well the snake thing was shown once in one panel of an entire page and never again its not relevant at all and the white sword is not a good comparison because we know thats a definitive ability of that particular bankai technique. not only in managa and anime but even in official books its recognized the same cant be said for either of Gins. Salubri 22:50, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Fine, i'll just leave it as is.However if Gin skikai snakes again in the uncoming battle, I will be adding it. However where in the article does it mention his tedndicies to using his shikai upside down?Saimaroimaru 22:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You are reading way to much into it, the snake thing is most likely the trail of blood he drew from Byakuya. As for and the the sword, upside is nothing more a flick of the wrist any one can use their sword blade facing up or blade acing down at any time so is not really an ability is just swordsmanship. WhiteStrike 23:14, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Right like it common for blades to bend like that, don't think, its his sword that bedning like that. I'm just aksing that his tendicies to have his sword upside down when his shikai is released to be mentioned.Saimaroimaru 23:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Umm... I took a look at your links, and I must say that I'm with salubri and whitestrike with this one. I didn't really get the blade tipping/turning/whatever thing since I didn't see it change position, unless gin himself did something. Both in manga and anime. And the snake thing... same thing as well as the fact that his zanpaktou shinsou, has been thranslated as divine spear, sacred spear or spear of god depending on the translation. Nevertheless, no snake in any translation. --Cyberflame 15:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Child Prodigy??
"Gin is one of a handful of child prodigies in Soul Society along with Kaien Shiba and Tōshirō Hitsugaya."

In a way, it might be true... but since neighter gin or kaien have been confrimed to be child prodigies, I'll remove it for now. If something is confirmed, it can be put back. But for now it's really unconfrimed information--Cyberflame 18:42, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

This is why there needs to be more awareness of what is happening in the storyline and more reading of the manga. It is explained in the conversation between Ukitake and Kaien when he is trying to talk kaien into becoming his lieutenant during turn back the pendulum arc. It is confirmed that kaien was a child prodigy and that at the time gin who was still a kid was also and had even gotten through the academy faster then kaien and had become a seated officer.Salubri 18:58, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
