Talk:Isshin Kurosaki

Head of the Shiba Clan?
Did i read wrong, or wasn't he head of a branch family of the Shiba House, not the main family??? Gojita (talk) 11:44, March 6, 2013 (UTC)Gojita

Your are 100% correct there is not error in translation Kubo is pulling a Naruto and having the main protagonist Ichigo take his mothers last name.


 * It apparently stating that he is of a branch of the Shiba family and is likely the head of that branch of the family. In Japanese nobility it basically works that the sons of a noble house are given lesser titles and houses to head as the main assets go to the first born male. This would insinuate that Isshin is a younger son if he is the head of branch family. This would also mean that his older brother is head of the main family.--


 * @Kubo is pulling a Naruto: Do also note that it's not unknown in real life Japan for a man to take his wife's family name, especially if her family is higher on the social ladder than his or he's been cast out of his family. Depending on the exact circumstances of Isshin's disappearance (which obviously will be touched upon in the next few chapters, and probably will involve Aizen, since he's been shown in the newest chapter), it may turn out that he has a good reason for taking Masaki's family name upon marrying her.

for me is simple because as as hinigami if he don't take teh kurosaki name he don't exixt in the japan administrative system so he took his wife name to hide the fact he is a shinigami in a gigai --Nitram86 (talk) 13:57, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Education
Isshin's education section is listed as "N/A". But consider this: Kenpachi Zaraki is the only Shinigami captain who didn't study at the Shinnō Academy and one cannot legally practice medicine without a license. Can someone please change the section to read "Shinnō Academy and Doctorate"? Steveo920, March 13, 2013, 17:44

Steve-o, in all likelihood, you are correct, but we like to wait until its officially confirmed.-- 21:48, March 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * To point out there are plenty of people with the same issue, there are those we really cant confirm as being students either.--

Family
Should we update the family section to include Kaien, Kukaku and Ganju Shiba as family? --Mseevers (talk) 14:00, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

No, we are not overloading his family section in the infobox with secondary family members.--

Shikai
The release command is "burn", but it's hard to tell from a black and white image if that energy is really fire. Will-O-Wisp (talk)


 * Thats true. We will need to see from later chapters if this what it does is able to be determined until then we will simply place the release command. Thanks for the look out.--

Could someone also please add that the same energy also flows from the tassel attached to the sword's hilt? Blackstar1 (talk) 15:49, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and put it in. The description as is was a little short anyway. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  16:22, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

It is fire after all. Definitely looks like it in Chapter 532. Also, this blood-sucking-fire-spitting ability. Is it the power of Isshin's shikai or a Kido of some sort? Will-O-Wisp (talk)
 * Why isn't that ability described in his Shikai? Darksusanoo (talk) 07:42, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Bankai
And finally, we have a bit of information about Isshin's bankai! According to Aizen, it is "quite a burden on his body." Apparently, he can't use it when he's wounded too badly. It's something. Will-O-Wisp (talk)

It is enough to add as a note to his Bankai. We have done similar with Kisuke and Shunsui's. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  12:21, April 3, 2013 (UTC)

History
Is it just me or are you stating the same event twice in his history concerning the incomplete Arrancar and Masaki first encounter with Isshin?-User: Taoisac
 * We don't know if White is the Arrancar Isshin is referring to - while in all likelihood it is, it has not been stated as such, so we won't remove it until it is.--Xilinoc (talk) 03:31, April 17, 2013 (UTC)

History
"At the Urahara Shop, Urahara explains Hollowfication to him and Ryuken. He then explains the solution, but as he does, Isshin immediately agrees to sacrificing his human powers to save Masaki. He then enters Masaki's inner world to confront the Hollow. [16]"

The section where it says "sacrificing his human powers" should be "sacrificing his shinigami powers"


 * This has been corrected now. Thanks for bringing the error to our attention. 11:14, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Fire Technique
Looking at the Fire Technique ability added to Engetsu I was wondering if the wording can be changed since its currently locked. While we don't know its name, here is a proposed sample of what the copy could say:

"Unnamed Fire Technique: Engetsu appears to have the ability to use Isshin's own blood to enhance its attack power. After sustaining a deep wound on his back, Isshin took his own blood in his hand, slurped it into his mouth and spit it on the blade, activating a thick wave of fire-like spiritual energy to erupt from it and take out his opponent. This attack was strong enough to destroy one of White's horns." (insert reference tags)

Take it or leave it, but I wanted to offer the suggestion either way. --Northstar1012 (talk) 19:13, April 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's the thing. While we want to add that to his page, 1. we don't know if it's even fire-based (the same goes for Isshin's Zanpakutō in general), and 2. there's the possibility it is actually some sort of Kidō. Until we get that information, I don't think we can add that in.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:04, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I was trying to avoid saying it was actual fire and hoped fire-like would have resolved that issue. Also, if there's a possibility that it could be some kind of Kidō, why would it be listed under the Zan's abilities? Since its there, I thought that pretty much means its a Zan ability and not a Kidō. Though I could be wrong. --Northstar1012 (talk) 20:39, April 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's just it. We're not sure if it's Kidō or a Zanpakutō ability, so we're not adding it until we know. Hope that helps.--Xilinoc (talk) 22:02, April 26, 2013 (UTC)
