Talk:Hollow

Spanish?
I own a Spanish-English dictionary, so out of curiosity I decided to check the names of the different classes of Menos. Out of "Gillian", "Adjuchas", and "Vasto Lorde", the only word that even translates from Spanish is "vasto" (and, yes, it does mean "vast"). I even tried different possible spellings, but none of them worked. If my dictionary is right, "countless creatures" would be "criaturas innumerables" and "stone demon" would be "piedra demonio". I know the translations were given by Tite Kubo (or at least someone in the know), but where did he get them? Darth Havoc 05:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)


 * "Stone demon" would actually be "demonio de piedra", but other than that you are right. Only "vasto" is Spanish, none of the other words are used in the language, not even in old Spanish. Whoever wrote those translations probably copied them from somewhere else, because he/she is clearly unfamiliar with the language. The Seaweed Ambassador 04:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

High speed regeneration
The Powers section states, under High-Speed Regeneration, that "Hollows outside of the Menos class who exhibit this ability are very rare; and even then it is usually exclusive to the Gillian Class." This does not make sense and is self contradictory. I'm changing it to "Only Menos-class Hollows have demonstrated this ability."

It then goes on to say that "For some reason, they seem to lose this ability once they evolve to Adjuchas Class (with the possible exception of Szayel Aporro Granz)."

This is untrue. Nowhere is it ever stated that they lose this ability by evolving (only that most choose to give it up when shinigamifying). While it is unknown if Ulquiorra was adjucha or VL, either way he had evolved beyond a Gillian, but yet still had regeneration. Also, the Adjucha class Menos that attacked Ishida at the start of the Arrancar arc could regenerate (it was a menos, yet looked nothing like a Gillian, so it was likely an adjucha). Also, SAG regenerated via a healing aid, not by using High Speed Regeneration, and so is irrelevant to this section. I have deleted this sentence. User:Yyp 16:01, September 29, 2009

Adjuchas?
I'm not sure why it says Adjuchas is spanish for stone demon I've done some research and I couldn't really find anything. Can someone tell me where they found it's translation.--Kisukeiscool100396 04:38, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Quite aptly, nobody can. Asides from "Vasto," none of those words are in any way Spanish, other than the way that they are pronounced. I don't know why it has been there for so long; no arguments have been given to support them. Mohrpheus 17:56, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Shinigamification
There is a link to this word from Hollow implying that Nel and her friends went through it. Just what is this referring to? Is someone trying to talk about the Arrancar or something different? Tyciol 23:13, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

It was a made up word on that was fan based and therefore was deleted. The article is now fixed. Salubri (Talk)  23:15, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Classifications
I'm noticing a formatting problem on this page. Under the Hollow Classification section, "Menos" is considered a classification along with "Gillian," "Adjuchas," and "Vasto Lorde." The problem here is that for viewers, it initially appears that there are 4 levels of Menos, with "Menos" at the bottom and "Vasto Lorde" at the top and could create confusion for those who don't already understand the classifications. I think it would be best if that sections is rearranged to make it more clear that the term "Menos" applies to all three evolutions and isn't a class in itself. I'll do it myself unless anyone has a reasonable objection to the matter. SerialSniper14 (Talk)  06:23, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Devoured souls, converted or assimilated?
So what exactly happens to a soul that is devoured by a Hollow? Does the Hollow literally consume the soul, essentially converting it to Reishi for nourishment, or does it "assimilate" the soul in a similar way to how Menos absorb the other Hollows they prey upon?

From what I remember (not sure if it occurred in the manga); Sora Inoue was consumed by several hollows and he transformed into one; so that could be an alternative to them devouring souls. I think that they devour souls for nourishment however as seen by Mestacia's words. Captain Brooks 16:47, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
