BG9 Gender?
Just out of curiosity, if BG9 turns out to be an robot (Which BG9 most likely is), what will you state BG9 Gender as? CoolJazzman (talk) 15:13, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * If it turns out that BG9 is complete robot with no gender, the best solution would be either leaving it at "unknown" or changing it to "none", but he/she/it could also be half and half and still have a gender.

Just to let you know, in his Personality section, you have stated "He" is not above harming children CoolJazzman (talk) 18:23, September 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks.

Personality:
I feel it should be added that rather than simply being ruthless, He's/its actually quite reasonable. Instead of simply killing Omaeda immediately after he refuses to answer a question, BG9 seems to be coercing him with a few 'light' smacks and then asking again. Kind of like its talking to a thick-headed person who's just not getting it [1]. Seems like a ruthless person is more likely to just kill him and move on, or at the very least, induce a LOT more pain before asking. It even seems to imply that if Omaeda answers the question, it'll leave his family alone and just move on to its next target.[2]

 * Thing is, it's still cold and calculating, also to attack a child like that for negotiation is really cruel.

First appearance
In page 2/3(the cover of the chapter) of chapter 490 you see what's probably BG9 from behind, it's not a very clear picture, but it certainly looks like BG9's helmet's backside, but I might be wrong. Should this be stated as its first appearance? Or am I completely wrong and it doesn't look like BG9?--Ginhikari (talk) 08:29, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * If it's this page you're talking about, I'm not so sure. Bazz-B is pretty distinct, Haschwalth looks like the one in the front, and the one in front of Bazz-B looks like Bambietta, but that'sall I can really infer. The figure I'm assuming you're thinking of (left side, right in front of the person who's Wandenreich emblem can be seen), I don't think the image is clear enough to assume that that's BG9.

Yeah, it's that page and that person. But as I pointed out, I'm absolutely not sure and I'm very aware that the image isn't very clear. I just thought that there might not be that many Sternritter with helmets that look like that and it looks an awful lot like BG9's helmet, if not exactly like its helmet. But I just wanted to hear what other people thought. Thanks for answering! --Ginhikari (talk) 20:54, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Looking in my volume 56 tankobon, I'm 100% that is BG9. If you look at him in chapter 549, you see him from behind, it's identical. Tommo2304 (talk) 12:42, September 25, 2013 (UTC)Tommo2304

In all fairness, I think its bg9 and am 99% sure of it, but I can see that theres maybe enough room for doubt on this. But I really cant see it being anyone else --SternRitterÄs (talk) 21:28, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

BG9's Species
Should it be stated that BG9 is a robot with a very complex AI capable of feeling emotion? It states that it cannot breathe, talks in a calculated manner, uses sensors but there are none visible suggesting that the sensors are an internal thing, and it has a single glowing eye and doesn't appear to where clothes underneath the cloak and has armor plating that can automatically open.
 * Saying that he is AI-driven is speculative at this point; he could be part machine, part human for all we know (which seems a little more likely to me). Particularly since he is a Quincy, which by definition makes him human (the Arrancar with Quincy powers are not identified as such). Mohrpheus   (Talk)  13:35, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Another picture of BG9?
I feel the beginning of his plot section looks a little empty. I think we could use the picture of him confronting Soi Fon in the initial invasion, it'd look good and pad out the top half of the article with another picture. I don't know how to add pictures personally, and the article is locked, but I do think it'd benefit from it. Tommo2304 (talk) 18:41, October 23, 2013 (UTC)Tommo2304
