Hollow Mask
I wonder what Gin's hollow mask looks like?--Black Artist 04:13, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

I figure we'll see soon. What I want to know is... will he reveal it before Tosen dies, or after? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) 01:51, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

What is he doing?
Just wondering if anyone knew where he was considering he hasn't been seen since slicing hiyori?

Morover, as we saw in the last chapters, nobody for the moment is able to get close to Aizen (kidou barriers and else), why he had to cut her in the first place? Maybe just for fun? He made one step and...back in the who-knows-area outside of the screens. If there are two (Aizen & Gin), during a war we fight the both in the same time, why attacking Aizen only? Curious scenario.Ace of Spade 06:14, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Bankai
What could Gin's Bankai be? It must be pretty powerful since he was able to bifurcate the unofficial second-in-command (<-- I think, she certainly seems pretty bossy at any rate) of the Vizards with only his Shikai. Plus, Aizen said Gin was worthy of being his lieutenant... and we know he's strong because he killed a Third Seat when he was just a child... but I can't think what the Bankai that corresponds to a Shikai of basically just an extended sword would be.

i'v been thinking about it for a long time and i think his bankai is a giant snake, or something to that effect.Soul reaper magnum 00:13, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

In Japan, Gin is depicted not as a snake but as a 'KITSUNE' (fox in eng.) []. I won't be surprised if he is related to 九尾狐 kyubiko or 9 tailed fox (too Naruto, no way), it won't be 9 tails but rather 9 swords extensible at will (like depicted in the cover of 1 of the last chapter, swords directed against Ichigo). He probably has a reference from the Goddess Inari (Japanese folklore []) who has foxes statues in front of her shrines.Ace of Spade 05:47, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

that's true it probably will have something to do with a fox. the extending blade blade kinda made me think of a snake so that was my idea. and like i said i'v been thinking about this one for a long time and i can't come up with much of anything.Soul reaper magnum 22:04, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Then let's say a snake with a fox headAce of Spade 12:42, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

I've always fantasied that Gin's bankai was a giant multi-headed snake or hydra sorta thing made entirely of blades. Like the Snakes neck is made of one giant flexible blade and it's head is a bunch of smaller blades arranged to be shaped like a snake's head and make fangs and teeth and such. What have you thought it was or what do you want it to be?Renshiro zaraki 02:25, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

who do you expect to see fighting Gin?
I really hope to see Gin against Kira Izaru & Wabisuke, Ukitake and some Vizards.Ace of Spade 13:57, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say Kira, maybe Hitsugaya and Hinamori (If he DOES betray Aizen I can see Momo fighting for sure)Sata1991 18:00, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

As for now, he will be alongside aizen and will fight both fathers..Frostymoon 8:56 March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Gin: the REAL main antagonist?
Some things just don't seem to add up - why is Gin serving Aizen in the first place, for one... but the most glaring has to be this:

Aizen's the main antagonist, right? Tosen and Gin are his right-hand men. But Tosen's dead, and Aizen's started to fight before Gin has. Since the main antagonist normally fights last, this seems to point to Gin actually being the real mastermind of the whole thing.

Probably wrong, but it'd be nice. Snappydog 21:28, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * There are a number of "conspiracy theories" out there like this one, including one in which Gin betrays Aizen as he is in battle, and so forth. I, too, feel like there is something slippery going on behind the scenes, but only time will tell. :( SerialSniper14  (Talk)  23:25, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah that somehow makes sense since aizen didn't ordered Gin directly anything but let's go,that's enough,we should do it do that etc.Also Gin is the only one calling him Aizen-taicho.Tousen addresses him Aizen-sama though he is way older than Gin.It seems Gin doesn't afraid of Aizen or is he just rude and disrespectful?


 * I'd go with rude and disrespectful. Maggosh 15:04, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think Gin is disrespectful of Aizen, seeing as Aizen said Gin is the only person he ever acknowledged as a subordinate. He is perfectly justified in calling him Aizen Taicho which is plain old Captain Aizen instead of refering to him as Sama which is a word used by older Japanese people and means something like lord Omegaday 13:00, March 31, 2010 (UTC)Omegaday
