Forum:Quick, Simple Questions

I've seen a lot of short questions posted on the article talk pages and elsewhere in the past. So I'm making a dedicated thread for quick, simple questions about Bleach (like "In which chapter/episode did X happen?" or "What was the music that played during scene Y called?")? If you have a question like that, then post it here. When answering somebody's question, please remember to use indentation to make it easier to read. Do not post questions about technical stuff (use the Help desk for that) or questions/problems relating to the wiki and its articles (use the Forum:Improvements and Issues or article talk pages for that). -- Yyp (Talk) 22:27, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Zanpakuto in the Green Robe
This is driving me nuts. During the Zanpakuto Arc, during both intros and one of the endings there is a zanpakuto that's in a green robe, he/she is really tall and you can't see his/her face. Does anyone know who's zanpakuto that was suppose to be. I think it also appeared with Kyouraku's Katen Kyoukotus and Ukitake's Sougyo no Kotowari when they were pretending to put up a barrier for Yamamoto. There was a third character next to the prymid barrier. If anyone anyone knows it would be really appreciated.

First remember to sign your posts. This has already been answered a long while ago. Minazuki which is Captain Unohana's Zanpakuto spirit is the spirit in question. Should have been a dead give away considering along with Katen Kyokotsu (Shunsui Kyoraku) and Sogyo no Kotowari (Jushiro Ukitake) they are the second, third, and fourth most powerful Zanpakutos after the captain-commanders.

Soutaicho
I'm a bit confused, does being the 1st Division Captain automaticly mean you're the Soutaicho, or is Soutaicho only for the strongest Taicho?Nintendo-Fan 23:58, April 22, 2010 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan

I would say that if you have been assigned to be the captain in the 1st Division, then yes, you are the strongest taicho and they (central 46) are promoting you to soutaicho. (I don't know how to sign)

Who said Battikaora's name?
in the preview for episode 268, someone said they found out this guys name. Everyone else thought Battikaora was just howling. Who said that? I'm not very familiar with the Japanese voices alone without the characters. a link to help Tman7776 04:09, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Episode 20 Ashleyyyy 05:29, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ep 31 help please
Hi all - Please help me find the name of this song:

Best example of it is in Ep 31 as Ichigo is remembering his training with Uruhara during the final battle with Abarai. It starts just as Uruhara begins his attack (12:01 into the episode). This song is stuck in my head! I've downloaded both OSTs for S1/S2 and it's not on either. Any ideas? Thanks


 * That song has not been included in any OST. Maggosh 01:55, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, do you know the name by chance?

There's no definite name for it, but you can find it on YouTube by searching "Bleach unreleased track". Maggosh 20:18, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Volume 43
When does this start?--ZACH 08:36, January 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * It looks like the volumes come out every 2 months. So by the look of it, early Feburary. IchigoKitty 22:00, January 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Volumes are typically released once every two months, usually around the 4th of the month. Vol 42 was out in December, so we can expect the next one in the first week of February. We will likely see a small preview of what the cover looks like in the next chapter or two (advertisement for it). -- Yyp (Talk) 22:27, January 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * The volume is out now. -- Yyp (Talk) 09:22, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ten ways to die
Can anyone tell me what the Espada's ten ways of dying are I heard my friend say something about this but never could find anything about it. UlquoirraS 18:03, January 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Espada each have an aspect of death that they represent, as explained by Baraggan . Yammy is Rage, Starrk = solitude, Baraggan = time, Harribel = sacrifice, Ulquiorra = nihilism, Nnoitra = despair, Grimmjow = destruction, Zommari = intoxication, Szayel = insanity, Aaroniero = greed. -- Yyp (Talk) 18:26, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Will TBtP Be Animated
I think they will "animate" the - chapters which is good. The next episode, if I'm not mistaken, will be the Bleach Special on the Beach and the "Materialization" will be Hyōrinmaru's debut.--Agate genbu 01:17, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes I think you're right. plus 228 was based on the side story in a 2005 issue of shonen jump and was featured in the graphic novel releases, so technically all the current fillers are cannon, because they were originally written by tite kubo.--Lemursrule 20:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Wonderweiss' birth (arrancarization)
Can anyone tell me in which episode of the anime was it? I googled it and only manga results were displayed. In the manga Wonderweiss spoke out his name... I completely forgot he ever said anything but AHHH or OHHH... Auron85 20:41, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Birth Episode
I believe it was episode 138.--Blizzard Hermit 21:13, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Blizzard_Hermit

Whoah, thanks! That's the one! He really did pronounce his name! :D P.S. Why did you answer me in a field you created...? Auron85 19:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I mistakenly created a new field instead of editing yours. When I realized, I had already done it D:--Blizzard Hermit 22:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Poor thing
To whom did Gin referred the phrase "poor thing"? I think it's for Mashiro. Seeing Wonderweiss as Aizen's trump card, he is definitely powerful and I think Gin thinks that Mashiro can't handle Wonderweiss' resurreccion.--Agate genbu 06:44, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

It may be his way of doubletalk, given his dislike of Wonderweiss Ancient Chaos 06:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

yeah im pretty sure he was referring to wonderweissOne eyed king 06:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Espada Meeting
Can someone tell me what chapter the Espada meeting was in?--Inferuno Ryuu 15:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

The meeting was in chapter 244 & 245.Hlp922 21:13, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

What does Deicide means
Does anyone know why the Chapter is called Deicide? I'm thinking it's a pun on Die and Decide but wouldn't that make it Diecide instead of Deicide? Or is it just a mistake? It's not a typo cuz the chapter name on MangaStream is Deicide. BlazeUchiha 15:18, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Deicide is the killing of a god. It's in reference to Gin's bankai which means god killing spear. Tinni  (Talk)  15:34, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * just to support Tinni's answer, i think Deicide = deity (God, divine being) + '-cide' (to slay/ cause death, as in suicide). WinterFox 02:21, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, agreed.
 * The deity in this case is probably either Aizen or the Spirit King. BlueMagic 17:27, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Zangetsu's Sealed Form
Is it because his sealed form is broken, so he instead stay in Shikai state? -- Nathan900130 21:41, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

No, he has a constant release type Zanpakuto. His spirtual pressure is so great that it keeps the sword in shikai at all times. Same with Kenpachi Zaraki--Godisme (Talk)  04:46, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

At one point I believe the phrase "uncontrolled reiatsu" or something similar was mentioned, which gives me the impression that Ichigo could eventually seal Zangetsu properly if he ever gained control over is own reiatsu. Does anyone have any input on this? Ratiqu777

Yeah, Kenpachi says, "The reason I don't seal my soul slayer is because my spirit force is so huge I couldn't seal it, even if I held it in as hard as I could."

That's the dattebayo translation from Episode 38, 19:17.

Seeing as Ichigo and Kenpachi are the only known two with constant release swords and that both aren't very good at controlling their power, I guess once either of them learn to properly control their spiritual power they will be able to seal their Zanpakuto.

Though Yoruichi is able to identify them as constant-release types so it's probable that there have been people before them in similiar situation, so there's no solid info on wether Ichigo or Kenpachi can seal their swords yet if at all. Prophet of Sanghelios 01:20, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

I think, if Ichigo and Zaraki had graduated the Shino academy they could've sealed thear swords.Shaggi 16:26, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

For Ichigo it doesn't make a difference. His sealed form was as big as his Shikai, except less powerful. So I'd assume Ichigo prefers it to be in Shikai. BlazeUchiha (Talk)  09:38, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

This is actually explained on the Zanpakuto page and on Ichigo and Kenpachi's page under zanpakuto respectively. On top of that it is erroneous to say Ichigo had a sealed form. It has been determined that the sword in the Agent of Shinigami arc is due entirely to him having Rukia's spiritual powers not his own. His high untamed spiritual power created the form of the weapon making it big but it was by no means his true zanpakuto. It is not until his power is awakened by Urahara does his gain Zangetsu and it has always been in Shikai form. Zaraki as well has explained that his zanpakuto has always been in shikai that he can recall and has never been sealed. Whether it is do to their high spiritual power or lack of fine control over their spiritual power is an either or debate. To assume they would ever be able to seal them is baseless speculation as there is nothing that would point to that, mostly do to the fact that all academy attendees dont have released swords. They are all sealed at first and they learn to release them later through the academy. They dont need to learn to seal them as thats their base starting off point regardless. The fact that there is a constant-release state sub type indicates that their is a grouping of those who will never be able to seal their swords. It doesn't really seem to be an issue. Salubri (Talk)  09:54, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

@Salubri- I believe you've sealed it. That's that, then. BlazeUchiha (Talk)  10:19, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Salubri you are saying that they can't seal their swords no matter what just because their zampakutos are constant-release type.Don't give me that bullshit.Your way is based on what Yoruichi said.But Ishin Kurosaki said that captain-class shinigami should be able to seal their zampakuto because of their enermous spiritual power.Though Zaraki is a captain he doesn't even know his sword's name.So there is no way he could seal it.Ichigo has captain class reiatsu yet he is too young to control it properly.And he became shinigami about 3-4 months ago.Maybe in 10 years he can control fully his spiritual power and seal his sword.Shaggi 16:43, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

First off watch your language unless you point is to be banned from the site secondly if your going to engage in a conversation know what your talking about. Constant-Release is a sub-type of Zanpakuto there is nothing wrong with that, has it never accured to you that maybe they dont want to seal their swords or that the reason they are constant release is to make a statement about the high level of their raw spiritual power. They were written into the series that way for a reason. It has not been a deterrence to either of them and is largely a non issue. The whole point of the academy is to learn the proper techniques for control. Zaraki and Ichigo didn't have that instruction and their personalities as well as their high spiritual power had already determined their Zanpakuto's base form. Also what Isshin said was that Shinigami captains all consciously keep their Zanpakutō in a manageable size, otherwise they would be holding Zanpakutō the size of sky scrapers. Therefore, one cannot judge one's opponent's strength by the size of his Zanpakutō. Entirely in reference to the statement Grand Fisher made about Zanpakuto size. It had nothing to do with the sealing of a sword. Your arguing at a point that isn't even an issue. If it was a big plot point that mattered to the story or the character that would be one thing. Spiritual control like most techniques is something you can do or you can't. Sealing a zanpakuto is something that either happens or doesn't there is nothing that says otherwise. Salubri (Talk)  17:26, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

i have nothing against Salubri's statements above. I just think some people find it interesting to see how Zangetsu's and Zaraki's sealed form looks like (color, crossguard, sheath) if ever they reallly have sealed forms. I, for one, is curious about what "it might look like". But then again, like Salubri said, this is really no big issue. WinterFox 03:48, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Shinigami Isshin's shoulder
Whats that thing on his shoulder when he becomes a shinigami? dposse 02:54, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

I think your refering to the haori am I right? The white cape-like thing? Prophet of Sanghelios 03:02, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:ShinigamiIsshin.jpg - The thing on his shoulder, yeah. I think he's the only one that has it. dposse 03:06, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Yep thats his haori, it's the same thing all the other captains wear it's just he drapes it over his shoulder instead of wearing it properly. It's because of it that everyone assumes he was once a captain. Prophet of Sanghelios 03:19, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, you mean its that white coat that all the Captains wear? Well, whats the silver thing? dposse 03:28, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

the silver thing is just a shoulder guard that he drapes his haori off of--God (Pray)  03:41, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Soifon Bankai
When she use banaki where is her arm? How can she fire another missle? Where is the other missle? Soifon's shikai is a poison type zanpakutou, isn't it? But jakuho raikoben isn't a poison type bankai, Why?

When she use banaki where is her arm? She cut it off to avoid death from Baraggan's respira.

How can she fire another missle? Magic? I don't know. If it reloads by itself then she can fire another one

Where is the other missle? Auto-reload? Its a zanpakuto, its workings are mysterious to us.

Soifon's shikai is a poison type zanpakutou, isn't it? That is what we have classified it as though I disagree

But jakuho raikoben isn't a poison type bankai, Why? A bankai is not always the same as a shikai. I dont really think her shikai is a poison type though because if it was poison, she would not have to hit twice in the same spot. One hit would do the job. --God (Pray)  16:07, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Precipice World
I don't know where to raise my question so i'm posting it here. Is there only one precipice world (the one connecting Soul Society and Human world)? I was just wondering if Rangiku met with Ichigo and Isshin when she went after Aizen. Can anybody explain?WinterFox 03:12, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Shinigami with Hell Butterflies guiding them do not pass through the Dangai. Aizen, Gin, Isshin & Ichigo did not use a Hell Butterfly, so they ended up in the Dangai. Matsumoto is an active Shinigami and would not have passed Isshin & Ichigo. Yyp  (Talk) 10:16, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hold on a sec. How would Matsumoto have gotten a hell butterfly in the middle of a battle/assault like that? Ratiqu 15:44, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Per the senkaimon gif to the right, as soon as Rangiku opened the senkaimon, hell butterflies would have come for her. On the other hand, as Gin and Aizen are exiles with Ichigo and Isshin having no official standing to return to Soul Society, when they activated the senkaimon no hell butterflies came for them. Shinigami without a hell butterfly get chucked out into the dangai. Tinni   (Talk)  16:24, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
