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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

 * 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)

hollow ichigo and zangetzu's fusion
It has been stated the zangetsu and hollow ichigo are one. So, does this mean that their new form is not actually new but that its their (or rather his) original form?Rasenking (talk) 21:36, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

it has also been stated that zanpakuto reincarnate. therefore Zangetsu existed before Hollow Ichigo. so that means that their original form was Zangetsu. Hollow Ichigo formed as a part of Zangetsu and eventually took control of their body ( making it look like a different colored version of Ichigo instead of it's original form) and then apparently developed into an independent  being at some point in between his last fight with Ichigo ( when is was revealed that he and Zangetsu were one being) and the current fight ( were it appears that they became two independent  beings before fusing back together into their current form). Kamiryu (talk) 01:18, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Why do people call Hinamori and Rukia by their lastnames?
Just a nit-pick: Why does Momo call Rangiku by her first name, while Rangiku calls Momo by her last name? By contrast, everyone in Ichigo's gang calls Yoruichi by her first name, because they don't know her last name, and most call Rukia by her surname since they outrank her. Krone8 (talk) 23:55, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Everybody calls Hinamori, Hinamori - including Hitsugaya. Hinamori might just prefer her last name to her first name. Most people in Ichigo's gang call Yoruichi, Yoruichi(-san) because that's what Yoruichi prefers. I think by now, they know who she is. Especially when Chad, Ishida, Orihime and Ichigo spent a week in Soul Society mingling with the Shinigami. The latter is important, the four of them did spend time mingling with Shinigami. Orihime spent a good deal of that week with Rangiku in the 10th Division. Chad gave Hisagi guitar lessons, Ishida made cloths for the female shinigami and the implication is that Ichigo adopted Squad 11 as his defacto squad. So to assume they don't know Yoruichi's last name is a bit of a stretch. Especially when Orihime and Ichigo routinely hang out with Shinigami as seen when they joined the Shinigami on the Beach. Rangiku and others call Rukia "Kuchiki" preciously because they outrank her. They aren't her friends and besides which, she's still a noble - even if she is below them. The fact that Rangiku and Ukitake omit the honorifics is a sign of familiarity. But Rangiku and Rukia do not hang out together. Rangiku and Orihime do, which is why Rangiku calls Orihime - Orihime and Orihime in turn calls Rangiku, Rangiku-san. Rukia calls Rangiku "Lieutenant Matsumoto". BIG difference and must be taken into account when determining why some people call other people by their first-name/last-name/honorifics/no-honorifics etc. Tinni   (Talk)  00:22, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Everything makes sense, aside from "Rukia is nobility" remark. Do you mean they call her by her surname partly because she's a noble? A sign of familiarity, in what way? Krone8 (talk) 05:46, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

It's a possibility that I cannot exclude. I mean, even Kaien called her "Kuchiki", when she herself referred to him as "Kaien-dono". Keep in mind however, Kaien wasn't her friend either. Her mentor yes but not her friend. So it's hard to say definitively about this. However, we must also keep in mind that the only person that called Kira, "Izuru" was Gin. Everybody else, including Kira's close personal friends Renji and Hinamori call him "Kira" and he in-turn calls them "Abarai(-kun... I can't remember) and Hinamori-kun". Even Ichigo calls Kira "Kira". Now again, Kira might just prefer being called Kira and Gin called him "Izuru" just to annoy him (I miss Gin! T.T) and Hitsugaya tries to get even Hinamori to call him "Captain Hitsugaya". So it's a complex blend of preference, rank, familiarity etc, etc. Tinni   (Talk)  06:27, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

PS. By sign of familiarity, I mean the dropping of the suffix can be seen as a sign of familiarity... or rudeness but in the case of Rukia, at least for Kaien and Ukitake, it would be seen as a sign of familiarity. Tinni  (Talk)  06:27, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Makes sense, but how familiar would Rangiku be with Rukia, since they only ever interact while on-duty? Rukia's a bit of a complex case; she was adopted into a noble family and was taught to be respectful towards those higher in rank or status than her, but was always fairly distant and lonely, so naturally, most would be on a last name basis with her (for full name basis, if you really wanna get professional), and though more expressive nowadays, she tends to interact more with Ichigo's gang (or Byakuya and Ukitake) more often than the Shinigami. Krone8 (talk) 06:51, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

And you got Rukia's new hangout pattern from where? After the Soul Society Arc incident, Rukia returned to human world briefly and didn't get a change to hang-out with anyone before taking Orihime to Soul society to train with her (see dated timeline on the Fights, Battles & Events article). So Orihime is the only person Rukia has been hanging out with. Rangiku is familiar with everybody. It has less to do with Rukia and more to do with Rangiku's laid back ways. However, I would like to point out that even Orihime, who has been a constant companion of Rukia's for the last month before the Aizen made his move still calls her Kuchiki-san. It doesn't mean they aren't friends. Tinni  (Talk)  07:19, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

I meant to put in "interact", instead of "hang out". I see that last name basis for Rukia as Orihime being polite and respectful. Krone8 (talk) 07:38, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Japanese have kind of a complicated system for the addressing. It obviously depends on the person and the situation and it's a mixture of personal preference, status, and of course the way you address certain person with specific suffixes "-san, -sama, -dono" is to show respect towards that person (there are also the more "friendly" ones "-kun and -chan"). In the case of first names, when there is no suffix it can be either rude (if you recall, Byakuya was kinda insulted that Ichigo dared call him simply "Byakuya"), or when there is an extremely close familiarity, (like how Renji and Rukia address each other). In Rukia's case, As has been pointed out, most people call them by "Kuchiki-san", "Kuchiki-dono" or "Kuchiki" because of her status as a noble. The only people I recall calling her on a first name basis are Hanataro, who does so because she specifically asked him to (that points to personal preference), and he still calls her "Rukia-san" to show respect because she's a noble, even if he's higher ranked than her; Byakuya (because she's his sister after all) and Ichigo and Renji. Of course for Renji, Rukia is her closest friend so it's no surprise they go by a first name basis, and for Ichigo, Rukia is an important person and friend, though I can't exactly explain how Ichigo addresses people. Though I think to get more accurate information on this topic you should go to Adam, he seems to be quite knowledgeable in the uses and traditions of Japan, so maybe he knows a bit more about this. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  07:54, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

That makes sense, thanks. Is it possible that her being just called "Kuchiki" was partly due to the fact that everyone else outranks her, and what does it mean for when people are addressed by their full names? Krone8 (talk) 10:00, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Simple Question about Cifer and Ceros
During the hollow Ichigo fight with Ulquiorra Cifer, after Ichigo fires off his cero Ulquiorra says something about "Despite how much he resembles a Hollow a mere human cannot shoot a real cero". Why does he say that after we know that the vizard fire cero's all the time? Does "real cero" mean Cero Oscuras, or does Ichigo being a human before Shimigami limit him compare to the vizard that were normal Shimigami first? Kulash05 (talk) 02:59, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Ok I See your confusion. The reason why Ulquiorra makes the statement is that for one he doesn't know what Vizard are. He has never seen one, come into contact with one or know of their existence. Upon Shinji showing up to fight Grimmjow. Grimmjow had no knowledge of who he was and was highly astonished that he was capable of firing a cero and donning a hollow mask. We also see this with Starrk first meeting Love and Rose. We know who the Vizards are but the Espada had no knowledge of them. Ulquiorra also has no actual knowledge of Ichigo's special species situation. His only knowledge extends to Hollows, humans, Shinigami and Arrancar. He assumes that Ichgio living as a human with an actual human body is playing at being a shinigami and then playing at having hollow powers though he doesn't understand how its possible. Ulquiorra also believes in the superiority of Hollows and thus arrancar and sees everyone else as lower in power and ability to them. --Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  03:10, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Imo, Grimmjow didn't say anything about Shinji and Ichigo's new power to anyone because he wanted to fight Ichigo again.But Aizen said he saw Urahara's gigai trick from report of fight with Yammy.Does that mean there wasn't any report of Grimmjow's battle or Aizen saw the report alone and didn't say about it to other Espada?Shaggi (talk) 16:39, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

I think he was most referring to a cero being that strong and able to stop his cero.Kulash05 (talk) 17:06, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

The unnamed barrier
I was watching the turn back the pendulum arc and it looked to me that the barrier that Aizen uses to spy on Urahara goes back into his sword. So wouldn't it mean that it was actually Aizen using Kyoka Suigetsu? HollowFunk 12:10, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

It's not clear as to what exactly Aizen was using to hide from Shinji. Some believe that it might have been the Kidou spell Kyokko, which conceals the user's presence and reiatsu. It might have been Aizen using his fake Shikai ability, the one that he described as a "flowing-water type" Zanpakuto that uses illusions.

I don't get your personal issues with Nanao, but not everyone in the Gotei 13 is in Fake Karakura; what they are doing is anyone's guess. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  17:49, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Has the new ark started?
Hello I’m new to this but would it make sense that since aizen, gin, Isshin and ichigo have all left fake karakura town doesn’t that mean that this is the end of the ark and start of the “short ark” that tite kubo was referring to when he said this ark would be finishing in “mid 2010 and be followed b a short ark then a longer one” Silver Tonbo sunglass shop 13:00, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Before we get ahead of ourselves, please understand that as far as Kubo was concerned, there was no such thing as the "Fake Karakura Town Arc". For Kubo, everything has been the "Arrancar Arc" starting from the start of volume 21, chapter 179. So when Kubo said that arc would end, he wasn't referring to the "Fake Karakura Town Arc" but the much, much longer "Arrancar Arc". The Arrancar Arc does not automatically end because everybody has left Fake Karakura Town. The Arrancar Arc ends when the story threads of the Arrancar Arc reach some sort of conclusion. Considering that we are still on "Deicide" chapters, I don't think the Arrancar Arc has ended. Tinni  (Talk)  13:07, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for clearing that up for me Silver Tonbo sunglass shop 13:32, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Tinni is absolutely correct, the only way to know for certain is when the "Deicide" chapters end and we reach a transission in the story (much like what occurred after Ichigo and pals left the Soul Society upon their invasion). This could mean a period of peace, to which we get a "Fresh Start" look or Kubo could very well just keep going with the events as they have been.  In my personal belief, the end of the Arrancar Arc is when we know for certain that every Arrancar is dead...which, while speculative until tommorow, could include Grimmjow's reappearance (and then Death, as he revolts against Aizen...which will do no more than bide time for Tatsuki...as long as I have closure with the character, I'm fine).  Oh and of course Yammy, but he could be summed up at the end of this Arc as having been killed by Byakuya (who very well could be the shoe...).  We'll see =D Tinni hit it on the head with a megaton hammer though! TVthePunisher 07:21, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Storyline tense
Both manga and anime have the quote where Uryuu said that I would immediately regret agreeing, past tense and logically that would be a hint that bleach (story wise) is being told and not done.-- SalmanH  (Talk)  19:17, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

I think that was meant to create a forboding feeling for the Ulq fight. Even at that i think at most you could say it was maybe uruyu recapping it from just after the fight ended, doesnt mean the whole story is being told (ala HIMYM) GinIchimaru

Makes sense some characters have a tendency to do that, and now it's just the waiting left for season 6. SalmanH  (Talk)  06:01, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Aguila
Is it confirmed that aguila's release command was scalp? On onemanga it never mentions it. On mangafox it was 'scalp him'. Which site or scanlator is the authority on these things?Renshiro zaraki 07:19, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Simple Question about senka
Ok for those who don't know, senka is that move in which you stab and destroy the spirit energy and soul chain of your enemy. We've seen it done twice, once by a shimigami and once by a quincy. My question is why don't other massive chest injuries result in the lost of powers. Two examples i can think of is when wonderweiss stabs the 13th captain, and when Ichigo gets a cero though his chest.

I think you maybe misinformed a little. Senka is a Shunpo technique, where one moves to their opponent's back, directly attacking and sealing one's "Chain of Fate = Saketsu" and "Soul Sleep = Hakusui" in one strike (effectively cutting them off of their spiritual energy flow). In a Shinigami the Chain of Fate acts as a boost to spiritual power in conjunction with the Soul Sleep (Hakusui) which is the source of spiritual power. These two points are commonly considered pressure points. If they are pierced they seal up this spiritual power, and the Shinigami will lose all their power. The Shingami who experiences this will never be a Shinigami again. While Ishida does seal Jirōbō's powers its through the simple use of archery as he has knowledge of these two points. It was just a matter of hitting them which is commonly a hard thing to do found at two certain points on the back or front of a individuals torso. Only Bykauya and Ishida have ever been showing using. Its hard to block in the Senka technique as the attack is mixed with advanced shunpo. As far as using archery you obviously have to be an amazing shot. The reason why its not seen is that the points are exact you would have to hit them getting impaled in the chest isn't the same. <font color="4169E1" size="2px">Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  22:23, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Right, and i totally get that it's this very small spot that is hard to hit and everything, but my feelings are, that these very small points would be hit in large attacks. Why would the damage have to be focus on this small point, where the bigger shots hit that point and a lot more. I guess I'm thinking of these points as like little spiritual organs, and the attack the 6th captain did just cut the little organ and killed it, leaving the whole person alive, but a whole blast from a cero should also hit this organ to. --Kulash05 22:48, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Not really organs but pressure points in the body. If you hit a pressure point on a human body you can disable an arm or leg or the entire body. Say you where to get shot in that particular spot it wouldnt necessarily disable use of the said arm, leg or even body. This is largely depending on where the pressure point and corresponding would would be. Other then that concept the only other thing i can say is that Kubo didn't make the same connection with what your reasoning is and feels that that isn't an issue or concludes as what i have stated on this response.<font color="4169E1" size="2px">Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  23:02, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, sometimes i think Kibo didn't think Bleach would be so popular and make a lot of decisions in the beginning because he didn't think he would have to carry it on for very long (I'm looking at you, gate to hell from one hollow kill). That or ichigo going hollow had some kind of effect, and the 13th captain is down for the count (Which would be a total shame) --Kulash05 23:37, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Finding music
I've had no luck in finding a certain track that is played in the bleach anime and movies. For those with fade to black, it's played briefly when Ichigo approaches Hisagi but is interrupted by one of those snake things. I'd really love to know what cd it's on and the name of the track if anyone can enlighten me. BollyW 00:08, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I wish I could. I imagine it will be released along with the rest of the music in a few months. Minato88 00:18, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Lieutenant of Squad 6
The Lieutenant of Squad 6 shown in the profiles of the squads at the time of Turn Back the Pendulum looks a whole lot like Byakuya. But since we know Byakuya's a kid at this time, is this be Byakuya's father? His last name is shown to be "Kuchiki", too, and he looks just like Byakuya! (Only more relaxed, LOL) If we've confirmed this, why haven't we created a page for him yet?

--BlazingStar (My talk) 16:57, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

That is Byakuya's father, Sōjun Kuchiki. We have not created an article for him yet as we are still gathering information on him.
