Omakes

Omake Segments are comedic mini-episodes which air after the anime episode. They offer extra information about the episode, such as techniques or more character information. They also show other characters in different situations, such as the Shinigami Women's Association. Some omakes are also manga-based.

Arrancar Encyclopedia
The Arrancar Encyclopedia, sometimes called the Arrancar Research Time, is an omake section at the end of some of the episodes. It provides extra information about the Arrancar and things relating to them, such as Resurrección, Hueco Mundo, Sonído, Menos Grande population, and other things related to them. The Arrancar Encyclopedia is hosted by Gin Ichimaru, although here are occasionally guest hosts such as Ichigo Kurosaki, Dondochakka Bilstin and Kaname Tōsen.

The show typically begins with Gin revealing the segment's topic. He then proceeds to go into detail with that subject, but is usually interrupted by another character, after which they or he make a joke, bringing the episode to an end. The show has had many guests, with at least one for every episode. The following have appeared on "Arrancar Encyclopedia."
