Gin Ichimaru

 * 1) Are we kidding? He just released Bankai! Albeit slightly disappointingly, but still, his article has undergone some great improvements lately, like solving the eye discussion and cleaning the Trivia. The article in itself is well-organised, it has great pics ans id well referenced as far as I know. And this month has been all about Gin, I really think he deserves being featured. -- Lia Schiffer   (Talk)  22:34, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) To be honest, I've never been a big Gin fan, but this month took the cake for me. With the big reveal of his Bankai (which is quite appropriate for his style, I believe), and the afforementioned eye color issue being resolved, his article has benefit greatly this month. He has been the star of this month without a question, having the unexpected role yet huge role of fighting the main protagonist. Together with his article quality, these are definitely good enough reasons to have him as May's featured article. Mohrpheus 22:56, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm gonna have to vote for Gin as well. His article is nicely structured, and since I first saw it, it's been improved greatly with the proper references and the updated layout, not to mention that all problems about his article have been resolved recently. He also has his first major role in the series since the Soul Society Arc. I think he has plenty reason to be featured as the next character of the month. -- DragonBlade302 23:55, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) At this point in time I have to say that out of Gin's and Isshin's articles that Gin's has overall better organization despite recent improvements to Isshin's. So my vote goes to Gin Eternal Breath 00:08, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki

 * 1) It is rare that I get to vote for my favorite characters. Isshin deserves to be featured this month. His article was locked before to improve the information on it and now that it has been unlocked it is a very good locking article. The recent information has been handled well and the grammar is all correct(or at least should be, I did the grammar work up about a week ago and have not checked on it in a day or two).--Godisme  (Talk)  18:42, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  Umm... yeah what that chick said. I think the article is well written and maintained and that he deserves to be spotlighted due to his recent activity in the manga. Benihime101 21:09, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I think that Ishshin Kurosaki really deserves the award this month. Not only is his article "unlocked" now, but his role in the manga is, and will be HUGE! The article quality is well written too. -- Sandykaka 16:59, April 21, 2010

Gin Ichimaru

 * 1) I think it should be Gin because all throughout the manga and anime, he stood on the sidelines and watched but now he is kicking some ass. Gin is stepping into things and getting his hands dirty. I also think it should be Gin because he doesnt toy with his opponents like Aizen does. Yes he does trick them but he respects his opponents on some level and does not patronize the way Aizen does. At least, in my opinion. Gin is a kitten compared to Aizen's cruelty. And deep down, I think Gin is a good guy, somewhere way way deep down. He still loves Rangiku and cares for her. In a lot of the fanfics about him, Gin is desperately trying to get out of this dark place and away from Aizen but needs Rangiku to yank him out. He may seem sadistic and at times he is but Gin isnt that heartless. I think if he were to die, he would reach ou for Rangiku and apologize for letting her down or curse himself for having followed Aizen or both. Either way, he would die with a true smile on his face and not that fake one he gives the world. That's why Gin should be featured. Because there is more to him than meets the eye.
