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)


 * 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.

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.

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)

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)
