Hachi's new Kido
Should we put in trivia than Hachi's new barrier techniques (Ryubi no Jōmon, Koko no Jōmon, Kikai no Jōmon and Hoyoku no Jōmon) are based on "The Four Symbols" (四象) from Chinese mythology? Those symbols (creatures) are: Geohound 08:53, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Azure Dragon of the East (青龍) -- The Gate of Dragon Tail
 * Vermillion Bird of the South (朱雀) -- The Gate of Phoenix Wings
 * White Tiger of the West (白虎) -- The Gate of Tiger Fang
 * Black Tortoise of the North (玄武) -- The Gate of Turtle Shell

Honestly, I see no reason why not. It's been known that those spells are blatant references to those symbols, and articles such as Love's have trivia relating to mythology. However, mythological references tend to be considered junk trivia, since they can be open to interpretation and speculation. One example being a former trivia point that pointed out that Mayuri's Zanpakuto was based on a Buddhist entity. So there is some inconsistency. Mohrpheus 16:46, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hadou 73: Souren Soukatsui
Since Hadou 73: Souren Soukatsui has had it's number officially changed, the only kidou sharing numbers are Bakudou 9: Geki and Hourin. Since Hourin is non-canon (it has appeared only in an Anime filler episode), should it be moved to an Anime-only section, with the reference to there being multiple spells of each level removed from Mechanics as speculation? There's really no canon evidence to support it now, that I recall. Silvercrys3467 (talk) 15:37, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Well, technically both Geki and Hourin are uncanon; Rukia never actually used the spell on Grand Fisher in the manga (unless its effect was revealed in a databook). I doubt that removing them is really necessary, so long as they are referenced to be anime-only. Same goes for the statement that two spells can share the same number.
