Talk:Kaien Shiba

Resembles Ichigo
The whole Appearance section just says that he's like Ichigo's lost twin. Never does it mention his hair color, eye color, body, any special outfit or anything at all. Just that he's the result of Szayel using his carbon copy technique on Ichigo (well, the other way around, but you get what I mean, right?). I could give it a try, but I'm not really good at describing looks. Lia Schiffer 08:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Shikai
Isn't Kaien's release command for his zanpakuto also "Rankle the Seas and the Skies" in the english dub in episode 49?

Sign your comments on talk pages. And yes, it was. I've been thinking about moving the recent command edit to the Trivia section, since, like Ichimaru and Rangiku's, it's had more than 1 release command in the dub. Arrancar109 03:02, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Profile Picture
Kaien's picture is quite old (SS arc I suspect). Maybe it is time for an update. Here's a good one I came across. Thoughts? Anyone have other pics? --Yyp 20:55, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

It looks pretty good, except isn't that from the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc? Oh well. It's still a good one. --Gold3263301 21:02, November 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but comparing the current pro pic with this one, he looks the same to me. --Yyp 21:09, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

$$Insert formula here$$

Personally, I don't think it matters, since Kaien's dead anyway, but that's just me. The image seems to be okay. Arrancar109 21:11, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

How about these two:--SalmanH 21:19, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

or



Like I said, I don't think it matters, but overall, I think #1 is best so far. #3 would be in second. Arrancar109 21:21, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it matters either. My vote is with #1. Kaien wasn't as young as the others during the Turn Back and Pendulum arc, nor did he change his appearance much. You know, it's not like he grew is hair like Ukitake or change his hair and beard like Kyoraku or fill out physically like Aizen (or am I the only one who think Aizen bulked up in the last 100 years...). So I say #1 is the best. Tinni 21:26, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

It was probably just the change of clothes, but I think he may have gotten taller as for the profile pic, I seem to like #2 since it fits with his personality (the dominant parts anyway) but which ever you guys think is best.--SalmanH 21:37, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I was directed here by Yyp. Basically, he told me that all pictures had to reach some criteria; but he didn't specify what the criteria were. If I know what I are, then I can look for a better picture (hopefully) than the three suggested. Glacial Blaze 19:56, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Where possible, profile pictures should: be facing the camera; include his full head; be close enough to make out facial details such as eye colour; be a good image quality; show normal facial expression; be free of background distractions; be in good lighting; be free of errors and marks such as subtitles. There are probably other things too, but I think that will give you a good enough idea. -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:24, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
