Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1)  I vote month after month for Aizen. He is probably the second most developed character behind Ichigo. His article is extremely well made and organized. He has been involved in the plot from the beginning and is never out of it. Aizen is the perfect villain for this series and its time we put him as the article of the month. --Godisme 20:28, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Shūhei Hisagi

 * 1)  The chapters this month have contributed significantly to Hisagi's article. The overall quality of his article is high and he has always had a very interesting design for a character, although much about him was unknown. But the Turn back the pendulum arc and the Fake Karakura Town Arc have really fleshed him out and his article has kept in step with his development. I really think this is Hisagi's month and therefore giving my support to him and his article.  Tinni   (Talk)  13:00, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  He's risen to the occasion with his fight with Tosen.  Doing something that a captain couldn't is grounds for nomination in anyone's book. Good article, and there's still plenty of mileage to go. TomServo101 13:30, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  After the events in the manga of this month, I knew that I'd either have to vote for Tosen or Hisagi. Unfortunately, while the recent events of the manga have done wonders for Hisagi's page, I have had to do numerous edits to Tosen's, which is still in a very sensitive condition. So between the two, I have to support Hisagi. Mohrpheus 16:27, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  Shuhei deserves this month. His article is clean, with nice pictures, and well referenced as far as I know; and his participation in the manga was totally amazing, and really significant. I mean.. He just killed a (former) captain, for crying out loud! Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's the first one to do that, right? And he has a lot of potential for development in the future. Lia Schiffer 19:48, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  Well written article, that has become much more extense since he started battling his former captain, to the point of killing him, being the only lieutenant to kill his master up until now. Featuring Shuuhei's article will also make him the first current lieutenant that recieves this place. Other thing which I like a lot is Kubo has given us enough info about him to make a large article of random stuff that can only be seen on the data books or omakes; aside for all he has showed lately on the manga, his shikai included, this is also something that makes Hisagi such a good character. MidoriPanda 20:30, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  Hisagi's article is well organised, has had a significant increase of relevant information since the start of the FKT arc and promises to expand even further. This makes his article a worthy candidate --Eternal Breath 10:32, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Shunsui Kyōraku

 * 1)  I really like this man.He has a very special style himself that makes him look even coller.He also defeaats the strongest Espada,Coyotte Stark.

Kaname Tōsen

 * 1)  OK. This is not a proud moment for me, since I'm casting a support vote for one of my least favorite characters. And my motives are as follows: A decent article, critical involvement in the plot of the manga and the fact that finally, after a very long time things seem to be moving in a good direction (beginning with Tosen's death). So let's all give a hand for the departure of Kaname: Exit, stage right, NO ENCORE! Weedefinition 15:23, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  I'm all for Kaname being the Featured article. His article has been changed the most this month and in the manga a lot was revealed about him. He was the first Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid shown and his powers and abilities top tier. His philosophy somewhat makes sense and he truly was a complex when he was first introduced incapacitating Uryu (rather than fighting him like all the other Captains), and then apologizing while doing it, to the end when he "died" at Hisagi's hands. His was also the first Bankai shown, surely that means something. Grimmjow2 15:42, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  With Tosen's recent death I think this would be an excellent featured article. The Article is well written, despite edit wars on it. The pictures are up to date, and all and all it is a good read. He uses the first Bankai, and it technically redeemed before his death so I say that this would be a very fitting Featured Article. ~ NOTASTAFF Ryun Uchiha (Ten Tailed Fox, Getsueikirite-taichou) (talk) 05:51, December 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * I would like to point out that this article is currently protected because it was going through so many changes. The talk page is littered with complaints and comments. Some people want one picture in, other people want to move things around and... I am not sure I want to draw attention to this article. Indeed, if this does become the feature the protection on it would have to be left on and that's just sad. I admit that this is Tosen's last chance to get in (although it might also be Hisagi and Komamura's last chance to get in, because with Tosen dead, the focus will surely shift to other characters for the foreseeable future, if not forever). But when we are talking about the an article that has spent the better part of the month under protection... it just makes me uncomfortable with the idea of featuring it. Tinni   (Talk)  16:10, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * I wanted to give Kaname my support this month, for all the changes and development that he's showed, and because he won't have another chance, but let's face it, we're a mess with him. From the simple battle of "where to put his Resurreccion ability", and how much speculation we have on him, the article is a bit of a problem. I'm not even sure if there's already a decison whether he had or didn't have Hierro. And if he died because Aizen killed him long distance, or he simply exploded in blood, how really powerful he was, etc. Yes, this would be a good way to sum up this month, with Tosen's death on the cover, but the article needs severe cleaning and a lot of issues need to be solved.

No Proper Reason Given
Shūhei Hisagi
 * 1)  Seeing as his former Captain betrayed him, Shuhei held little to no problem in killing him for the sake of the Soul Society. Despite being short, his battle was quite interesting. After being stabbed and left to die by Kaname, he kills him ever so easily. Along with this Shuhei's Zanpakuto Kazeshini is quite interesting and played a great role when he killed Kaname.--Shiraha Manjitomoe 17:36, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  Shuhei is one great shiginami. he has shown great fighting skills and management while only being a lieutenant and temporary captain of squad 9. his fighting skills are really well and knows how 2 lead. He has shown that he dosen't let his feelings get in the way of battle. This was shown when he killed his former captain Kaname Tosen. HE also is a great team work person this was shown when he was fighting allon and he was able to cover for izuru kira while he tended to the wounds of the other lieutenants that had been injured while in the battle. His fighting skills have also shown while he dosent like to release his shikai he is very good at fighting with it and is very skillful while wielding it.Bleachfan14 17:00, December 25,2009 (UTC)

Muramasa
 * 1)  Muramasa is an excellent character from a filler arc that is actually really well done. he deserves some recognition as such. Emperorjaganglee 00:27, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
