Forum:Animal Release

If you look closely at Yammy's Release form, and the former ideas shown about him, he can be said to resemble a Caterpillar. Think about it.

Note, this is just his personality/growth in the Series:

He starts off Weak (Larva) He goes to sleep and eats a lot and gets stronger (Pupa) He releases and becomes massive and extremely powerful (Butterfly)

Now, before you say this has nothing to do with his release, look a little closer at his release. It resembles a Caterpillar, it has multiple Legs, and an enlogated torso/back area. This is indeed similar to a Caterpillar in apperance. I know someone is going to say he doesn't look like a Butterfly, which is what a release could probably be assumed to be, but don't think like that, instead think in the idea of him simply resembling the animal. I could use a Theory idea that, if Yammy has a Segunda Epata, it would resemble a Butterfly, but the main idea is that it does indeed resemble a particular Animal, a Caterpillar or a Centipede.

I believe Yammy is a rarity among Arrancar as his release isn't really based on any animal or insect. As it wouldn't make sense for him to be a Caterpillar when its most likely that Miloly would have that release. (Loly being the Millipede and those two being almost two halves of a whole.) I see Yammy as a Kiju or Japanese Monster like Godzilla or something to that affect. This would explain his insane size, also it would be a great metaphor for his new found strength and his abilities. Kiju are shown to be extremely unpredictable creatures of vast power, however they lack any true intelligence. So Yammy is strongest in terms of BRUTE strength not spiritual, also it can be assumed in this form he would be like POWW, he will be very slow and the excess mass will probably tire him out quickly. Also Yammy is as everyone said stupid, so while he is powerful he will have no battle tactics and will more than likely flail around like most Kiju and inflict mass damage to the area instead of one focused point trying to destory the intruders of Hueco Mundo.Zenpaki 21:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Which is precisely why I think its weird that Aizen didnt bring him to the world of the living, he seems less able to fight one on one in that form but more able to distroy his suroundings very quickly. he seems to be the most efficient way of distroying the town for that key yet he didnt bring him. plus, arnt any Espada above 4 forbidden from releaseing inside los noches? he'll pretty much distroy the hole damn place in that form.--CloudHiro 15:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Disagreed Cloud, I would see it as a well thought out plan for Aizen to leave Yammy behind for one, in his Arrancar form, I doubt he would stay alive too long with alll the captians and other espada of higher power around him. Secondly upon his release he would do more harm to his allies than his enemies as I see it. He would furthermore be useless in the Fake Town because he would just be destorying a replica wasting his strength. So Aizen again has found a way to be a step ahead of his former captians Zenpaki 21:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Are we sure that his Resurreccion is not an animal form? I mean, at least Zommarri looked entirely like a pumpkin, but, at least to me, it would seem that his released state looks a lot like a dinosaur, and some think that he's like a caterpillar. Shouldn't we wait to see how he fights before labeling him as Animal or non-animal? Lia Schiffer 17:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe that Yammy is an animal, to be more specific, an Ankylosaurus dinosaur, noting his tail and such. He sure does look animal-like in his Resurreccion, not to mention his beast-like manerisms. So yes, I personally would consider him an animal. - HuecoMuffin 20:52, April 24 2009 (UTC)

I dont think Yammy's release is animalistic; i dont think it is animal based at all. think of his zanpakuto name; Ira, means 'Rage'. all the other animal based espada had zanpakuto names that literally translated as the animal they represent.--Ulquiorra Wannabe128 06:47, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Not true. Glotonería doesn't mean "Octopus" and Fornicarás is in no way related to a Helminth. Yet, the shape they take are animalistic, similar to Yammy. And he's clearly some sort of dinosaur to me. Lia Schiffer 08:51, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * see that's were the real problem lies; that's what you think he resembles. Simple fact is that we haven't seen enough of him to say what he is exactly (personally i think he's meant to be a refrence to either a giant or a kaiju) therefore we should wait to see what traits he exhibits before we label him any further- Eternal Breath


 * That's exactly my point. Until we see him actually fighting, we can't tell whether he is animal or not. But I'm not the only one that sees him as a dinosaur. Someone else even specified the especies. And the fighting style is not the only thing that labels them as animals or non-animals. Unless, of course, that someone has seen a bat throwing lightning spears or shooting black energy blasts. It depends on the case, and Szayel is quite an example, for he looks non-animal, but his abilities and powers refer to a Helminth. But we should erase those trivias stating that he's not animal until we can further see him fighting or get a better look of his post-release appearence. Lia Schiffer 07:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm glad to see that we're on the same page about the espada releases as a whole, personally I think that the idea of Zommari's release form being a sea sponge was formulated by people trying to hold on to the animal theme but there's no use in me changing it because I think its wrong because someone will just change it back based on their assumptions. This situation is the same kind of thing as this discussion where any changes based on personal opinion on a popular topic will be edited back to how it was or in the opposite be changed to oppose the opinion that you expressed. That's how edit wars start and why topics get locked. So to avoid this kind of thing from occuring it's probably a good idea to lock this topic till there's more info. In closing that's what I think will happen if you try to delete the trivia sections with that info because people take wikia's way too seriously--Eternal Breath 11:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
