Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio



Dordonii is a Privaron Espada and the 103rd arrancar, demoted from his former rank as an Espada after Aizen acquired the Orb of Distortion. Dordonii's face resembles a stereotypical portrayal of the Devil. His hair is done into a pair of "horns" and he has a van-dyke beard and mustache. The remains of his hollow mask consist of a small plate with horns mirroring those in his hair. Dordonii's arrancar outfit is customized to fit his eclectic personality, with fringe on the forearm portion of the sleeves, a poofy red sash tied at his waist, shoulder pads, and openings down the front which reveal his black undershirt. In comparison with the other arrancar, he has a more goofy personality, similar to Don Kanonji's. He is much more serious in battle, however. During his battle with Ichigo, Dordonii refers to Ichigo as "niño" (Spanish for "boy").

Dordonii fights with Ichigo Kurosaki during the break into Las Noches. After pestering Ichigo to use his full power, including donning his hollow mask, he is quickly beaten by the masked Ichigo. After his initial defeat, Dordonii is healed by Nel and tries to fight Ichigo once more, but is easily stopped and his sword broken. Dordonii reveals that he was forced to accept his demotion in favor of more powerful arrancar created by Aizen, but believed that he would be accepted back into their ranks if he beat Ichigo at full power. Dordonii appreciates that Ichigo showed him his full power in their fight when he didn't have to, and in return fights against the Exequias for Ichigo, stalling for time while the boy escapes. He seems to have taken a liking to Ichigo, warning him that he must give up his merciful ways and become as coldhearted as those he is facing. He is implied to have been killed by the Exequias.

Dordonii's zanpakutō is named Giralda (暴風男爵, lit. Storm Baron, but read as Giralda) and is released with the phrase "rotate" (旋れ, maware?). When Giralda is released, Dordonii grows large horns on his shoulders and armor that starts at his feet, wraps around his calves, and juts out at his waist with two more spikes. His mask also extends, framing his face. While released, two enormous cyclones come from the armor in his legs which keeps him hovering in the air, as well as adding a lot of extra force to his kicks. In addition, two bird-like extensions jut out from these cyclones, which are used to execute long-range strikes. Dordonii is able to release his zanpakutō without unsheathing it.
