Momo Hinamori

 * 1)  Because the only thing anyone is going to remember from the last few chapters is Hinamori impaled on Hitsugaya's sword. In addition, her article is very complete and detailed. The only real trouble that happens around her article is that her profile picture gets randomly changed. A lot. But aside from that, it's a good solid article.

 * 2)  Heh. I would rather vote for some other article but just as Tinni said: "the only thing anyone is going to remember from the last few chapters is Hinamori impaled on Hitsugaya's sword." Well, I do agree that Hinamori's article does look to be written rather nicely. So there is my vote then. - Mr. N 02:57, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  Here I am on the bandwagon again. Everybody else pretty much made it clear - the progress that every other character made this month was rendered pretty much irrelevant the second that Hinamori got stabbed. A funny -er, I mean horrible reason to feature a character, but no skin off my bones. I don't do much work on her article, but it looks pretty well done compared to others, and for some reason, the whole "her Zanpakuto is a fire-type" thing has done it wonders. Mohrpheus 22:41, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4)  She really is the most obvious choice. Her article looks to be in order, and she's the only one besides Aizen who's actually done something lately (albeit getting stabbed in the chest by her childhood friend). We can't put Aizen twice in a row, and really no one else I think qualifies in terms of recent contributions. There's one more reason: She is now a prime candidate to be the first Gotei 13 member to die in real time (Tōsen doesn't count - he defected).  Weedefinition   (Talk)  03:26, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

OK, seems I couldn't make my point across last time. I don't think Momo's participation was worth featuring her this month because, though it was relevant to this month's events and it affected all the characters, it wasn't of her own accord, but someone else moving her. It's like wanting to feature a rock for crushing a character's head, or a stick for stabbing someone's heart, she wasn't even aware of what was happening, she just appeared there, impaled on Hitsugaya's sword without any recolection of how she got there. Her only role was one panel of just existing, she didn't actually do anything, so I don't really think she should be featured. I hope I explained myself better now.

I have to oppose Hinamori. I dont think you can say she was really recently featured in either the Anime or the Manga. She has not been in the anime for about a month to a month and a half now and she was in the manga about a month ago for one frame. Also, her article is very meh, it has some information but not enough to warrant being the featured article--Godisme 19:53, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Too much disambiguity with this character's article for my liking with all the, "can she do Bankai, can't she?", not the most complete considering other characters in the series that we've got SunXia 19:12, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto

 * 1) Im giving my vote to Yammamoto this month. His article is very well organized and contains a surprising amount of information. I had no idea we knew that much about him. As he is most likely about to die and is stronger than Aizen, I think it is only fair to give it to this great character--Godisme 19:49, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with Godisme. For a character whose screen time is so little, he has a very well organized and "contentful" article. Plus, he will be more visible this coming weeks so I guess if he will be the featured article, it will be timely. --Agate genbu 04:24, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  We've learnt so much about him and his abilities and his content article is pretty plentiful especially after the last week, pretty strong words from both him and Aizen, pretty commited character, willing to sacrifice himself to kill Aizen SunXia 19:14, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Momo Hinamori
I might be getting it wrong but getting impaled in Hitsugaya's sword doesn't seem a good reason to get Hinamori featured. What kind of development does it represent for her? I understand that no character has "developed" seeing that it was Hinamori who was impaled in Hitsugaya's sword, but this fact makes her go even furthest backwards than any other character, and without doing anything at all. Her only credit in the emotional disturbance here is her sole existance, whereas other characters (and unfortunately I can't think of any other that could be featured at this point, I hope this week gives me a plausible option), have been fighting the whole month against a common enemy, just to find themselves broken by the sight of this "fake", that just by coincidence came to be Momo, just like it could have been anyone else. Lia Schiffer 02:29, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * No valid reason.

Personally I think the issue of the 'Deceased' vs 'Unconfirmed' vs 'Greviously Injured' argument should stop Momo becoming the front page article. There is far too much doubt in her current status to have her on the front page of this Wiki. I think a character with a confirmed status should be featured. Furthermore to this comment, I agree with the argument in the above opposition. UltraSaint4121 11:26, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Call me rude, but I was SO happy when Hinamori got stabbed. As most people are saying, that's all we'll remember from the last few chapters, and to me, it's a good thing to remember. She's also been around since the start of the series, and I don't think she's been featured yet. Mikkim79 01:56, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with everyone else and she seems to be an important character lately.Protection 02:47, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Gin Ichimaru

 * 1)  Sorry but this guys seems to be the only other guy that seems to know what's really going on and well his article is probably one of the most informative for one of the most messed up and mysterious characters in the series, he's not like pure evil like Aizen, who will stop anyone in his way, he clearly has some sort of feelings for Rangiku!! Sorry but his article's amazing and well he's one of the characters that almost has to appear!! Of course it depends on what we learn this week but for now my vote's for Gin!!
