Talk:Byakuya Kuchiki

Powers & Abilities
Hand to Hand Combatant is currently inconsistant with the Hakuda page to which it links (which lists Byakuya as an Expert Hand to Hand Combatant). I have no strong opinion on the matter either way and thus do not want to "correct" either of them. --Kalanyr 13:12, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Bankai
Byakuya's Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi has three forms: Senkei, Shukei Hakuteiken, and Gokei. This is the order they appeared, yet Gokei is in the middle of the Bankai section. Shouldnt it be in chronological order?
 * Also, why is the label for Shukei Hakuteiken only Shukei, with Hakuteiken in the middle of the section? Whilst fighting Ichigo, he spoke the technique's name as Shukei Hakuteiken.--Kylecharmed 19:37, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I can confirm this. Just finished watching Episode 59 (translated and encoded by Dattebayo), and it displays both names together. However, they translated it as "Shuukei, Hakureiken." Whether that's just a mis-translation or not, I'm not sure, but I thought it was worth mentioning. (EDIT: It was mistranslated. I can clearly hear him pronounce it as Hakuteiken.) I believe somebody accidentally mixed Senkei with Shukei, hence the problem here. ShadowDragoonFTW 04:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Senbon Zakuras true form
The new bleach episode labled senbon zakuras true form as well as many other zanpaktou. the picture link is here http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Senbonzakura.PNG


 * The image you uploaded is broken. But regardless, I do approove this. We should upload these, as well an all the rest too. This new anime arc is not a filler, but an anime original canon, just like the Forest of Menos, approoved and written by Kubo Tite himnself. In other words, everything stated there should be considered canon, unless it directly goes against any critical information from the manga. Kenchan 18:59, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Look at Senbonzakura (spirit) there is already a picture and an aricle on it. Also tite Kubo is helping out not writting the arc himself it should also be noted that he does the character desing for every noticeable charcter manga and anime alike. WhiteStrike 19:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Resolved

Speed
The maintenance and referencing on the page isn't done as of yet, but it will be looked into but your right manga is before anime. We will go with what Kubo wrote himself, i cant begin to understand how the same exact thing happens in the anime and they do something so small the wrong way.Salubri 19:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In the manga Byakuya stated that if he controls his bankai with his hands he can move it three fold however in the anime it was twice as fast, and in here I thought that the manga comes before the anime.--SalmanH 09:15, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Bankai Defense
Early in the Zanpakutou Arc, Kuchiki and Abarai were sparring. Abarai used his bankai to attack, and Kuchiki used his bankai to create those blades to fend off the attack (without ordering them to break into the tiny pink blades). Has anyone else seen this recently? Should this go into the bankai section? PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) 02:01, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

In my opinion, the whole Zanpakuto Arc is full of holes, and overall oddness. We should probably let the whole thing play out before we decide if it's canon or not, if a filler arc even can be considered canon. --Ulquiorra Wannabe128 17:37, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Sculpting Skills
Shouldn't we put information about Byakuya's Sculpting skills?

Here's a link to a picture of his sculture http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/261.5/04/

It's already mentioned generally in the trivia as the third trivia point. Twocents 22:57, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

It says he's a TERRIBLE Artist. I consider that to be very good art, not like Rukia's. Plus I'm pretty sure that's the only time you see him do anything related to art. CrackLawliet 23:00, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry that you like his art, but Tite would disagree. On the very same page you linked, it states, "Like brother-in-law, like sister-in-law." Thus, his art is considered on the same level as Rukia's. And since it's mentioned already in the article, I see no need to include a more specific description elsewhere. Twocents 23:05, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Touche! XD CrackLawliet 23:05, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Senkei defense
in the diamond dust movie byakuya is seen to use the Senkei cage part of his bankai to block about 15 cero or so from menos at once, I think that should be noted. Ryanfireball 14:29, November 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * The movie is considered Non-Canon, as such it doesn't go in the main page. I think it should be noted somewhere in the Second Movie Synopsis. The 4th Hokage 14:33, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

It can be noted in the Appearances in Other Media section of Byakuya's page. This is where a character's involvement in the movies and video games go. (btw Minato, I think you mean "not considered canon")--Yyp 14:36, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Whoops. Sorry I changed it. The 4th Hokage 14:42, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Gloves
A minor thing, but considering that it was immediately changed back when I edited, the "gloves" are not gloves, but tekkou, wrist bands. If the correct name for kenseikan is used, I believe the correct name for these wrist bands should be used. --Nisshoku 21:13, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
