Talk:Uryū Ishida

Uryuu's Mother
I merely wanted to point out that Ishida Uryuu's history has not been updated to give information about his mother. She died in September when he was eight years old, and it is unclear whether his mother's death precedes his grandfather's.

I attempted to add this information myself, but the page apparently can no longer be edited by average viewers. Still, I feel this ought to be included.

Stern Ritter affiliation
I have removed every note of Uryuu being a Stern Ritter, as his position within Vandenreich has not been specified yet. Just having the Epithet "A" does not automatically classify him as a Stern Ritter, so I suggest we wait until the manga describes his position further. Rafer.Alston (talk) 01:15, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was determined a while ago that he was never specified as a Stern Ritter, it seems a few things around the wiki that were never changed accordingly.

Powers and Abilities section
Shouldn't we state somewhere in his Power and Abilities section about him able to surpass the Quincy boss himself Yhwach powers, along with the fact that he was chosen for one of those Schrift (Holy Letter)? CoolJazzman (talk) 16:20, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * We still don't know what Yhwach means by Uryū being able to surpass him or how he would do this, nor do we know what the letter "A" means in regards to his power.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:52, August 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * We need to be able to quantify just what it actually is if we are to add it. We don't know anything about the nature of this, so its kinda hard to do that until we get more information. 22:22, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we add "The Almighty" as his epithet? He's got the same letter as Yhwach, so it stands to reason that he also has the same power. Xfing (talk) 00:21, January 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * At the moment, no. Up until now, we've only had one other instance of two Quincy sharing the same letter, and since they were both born with their special ability as twins, they're not exactly a good reference point when it comes to the first and last Quincy sharing the same letter. For all we know, Uryu's "A" is a different ability - and thus epithet - entirely, so adding it right now is speculation.


 * Also, think of it this way: why would Yhwach, by far the most savvy, intelligent, and dangerous antagonist in the entire series, give someone whom he knows joined the Wandenreich just to avenge his mother his top-tier ability of omniscience? The whole reason he put Uryu in his position as Crown Prince in the first place was preventing him from acting against him in any capacity without facing the wrath of his loyal subordinates; giving him the (arguably second-) most powerful Schrift thus far would render all of that effort and planning meaningless. Though that's just an in-story reason to think about.--Xilinoc (talk) 01:03, January 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * There really is something with you guys here at Bleach Wikia and that "speculation" thing. Extrapolating from incomplete data isn't speculation. Yhwach said himself "your letter is A, the same as me", which is as good as him saying "your ability is the same as mine". Plus he's supposed to be Yhwach's successor, and the leader of the Wandenreich needs to be immune to the powers of all his subordinates, or else he wouldn't be able to keep them in line - a power that "The Almighty" grants. Still, we can wait and see if that's what you insist on. Xfing (talk) 16:00, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

Licht Regen
In the P&A section, it says that it goes along the left shoulder, yet every image seems to suggest that it is on the right arm. is this a mistake, or am I misinterpreting things?


 * Well, he fires it with his left hand, and every time he used it in the Zanpakutō arc (basically the only time we got a clear shot of it), it was going along his left shoulder. So I think you're just misinterpreting things.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:04, June 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * I hope it was Licht Regen and not simply Heilig Pheil, because Uryu can fire up to 1200 arrows simultaneously. But if what you're saying confirms that Licht Regen indeed goes along Uryu's left shoulder and not his right Xillinoc, why don't we add the episode that was featured in to the reference sections on both Uryu and Licht Regen pages.Poweltav (talk) 22:32, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

Reiryoku Power Level
Don't get me wrong here but, shouldn't Uryu's reiryoku power level be changed from High Spiritual Power to Great/Immense spiritual power. I mean he IS a member of the Sternritter and part the Schutzstaffel. All members of the Sternritter are at the level comparable to or greater than that of a captain level Shinigami after all. I tried to add that last year, but it was removed, and the person who undid the edit said "that's not how it works". Let's assess the already known facts: Yhwach said Uryu could surpass him, all Quincies who drink from Yhwach's blood unlock their true powers, and Uryu being appointed as his future successor/heir, it would make sense Uryu already has more power than we all think. Am I wrong?Poweltav (talk) 21:11, July 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thus far, he hasn't demonstrated that level of power, so no. Also, it was never said that every single Sternritter had spiritual power greater than or equal to that of a captain; that statement is only applicable to the Sternritter whom we saw participate in the first invasion, where Akon specifically noted their power.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:49, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

Good point Xillinoc. Maybe you're right about how the fact that Sternritter with power greater or equal to that of a captain applies to the Sternritter that had participated in the first wandenreich invasion of the soul society. So do we just leave it the way it is as we all wait for more confirmation about Uryu's power level then, before we change it?Poweltav (talk) 22:24, July 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes we leave it until he shows otherwise.Naruto 45 (talk) 22:43, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

Hair color
Naruto 45's brought something interesting to my attention: in both pre- and post-timeskip color pages, Uryū's got completely black hair - no color highlights (e.g. Bambietta on the second linked page), no color changes to match a theme a la this, nothing. I don't really like getting into color discussions, but this does seem to be a case of the anime spicing up the hair color a bit to fit their color palette or whatever, so I'm thinking we should...uh, change his appearance section and such. Thoughts?--Xilinoc (talk) 12:33, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, probably. You could have a cover image of him in the appearance section and say his hair's black. Maybe put that his hair was "raven" colored in the anime in the trivia section. 13:55, September 8, 2015 (UTC)
