Talk:Yachiru Kusajishi

Shunpo level
In the Hohō page she is listed as a practitioner of Shunpo, but there is nothing about it in her page (not to mention a reference). Can anybody point me toward where this info came from? WD  Talk to me  23:53, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I don't recall ever seeing her use Shunpo. I know she is shown to be a fast runner but I don't think she has ever displayed any knowldge of shunpo--God (Pray)  23:55, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

She never uses it in the manga as far as I recall, but she did use it in the Zanpakutō arc (playing with Ashisogi Jizō). I'm not entirely sure what the policy of the wiki is in these situations. I know manga trumps anime but according to a debate I had with Tinni the anime is a secondary source in case there is no official declaration on the matter in manga/character books. WD  Talk to me  11:30, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I quote from the anime policy, ''Filler Arcs: Filler information are not considered canon due to inaccuracies in story timeline as well as characters only used once and rarely mentioned again amongst other inaccuracies and situations. There are exceptions to this rule, when there are cases that the information presented does not conflict with what is established in the manga, nor relies on story timeline to be accurate in canon material (such as powers and abilities) it can be placed in the articles. (i.e. Yumichika, Yoruichi, Ukitake, Matsumoto, Hitsugaya using Kidō, as there is nothing in canon that says they can't or causes conflict and in fact it more supports the notion that they can given their established abilities or backgrounds).'' No one ever said Yachiru can't use Shunpo, therefore, the filler does not contradict manga. Moreover, it's not just the Zanpakuto Unknown tales arc that she uses shunpo but she has also used shunpo in omakes during the Heuco Mundo Arc. Shunpo is a basic skill and one that, as demonstrated by Ichigo, doesn't require special training. Therefore, we will accept Yachiru's clear and frequent use of Shunpo in the anime as evidence that she can use shunpo. Tinni  (Talk)  22:08, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Junk Trivia
I thought that the "only person to" trivia is classed as junk trivia.

It says that her and Kenpachi were the only two to aquire their ranks through different methods.

Should the trivia be deleted? TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 21:12, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I'd say yes, as only half of it is about her anyway. Besides, every other lieutenant got chosen by their captains, so it isn't even true. Mohrpheus (talk) 21:16, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is old, but yes, this was the correct decision. Forum:Junk trivia. 20:31, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

What are the souces for these?
Can somebody tell me the sources for this

"just over his left shoulder, and is somewhat territorial about this position. She is surprisingly intimidating at times, especially when annoyed. Like Kenpachi, she has no sense of direction, but even so he relies on her for directions. Yachiru resents being criticized in any way and will often attack the perpetrator. Further reflecting her child-like nature,"

and this

Grown men have been shown to be afraid of her, and Rangiku Matsumoto was able to scare Ikkaku Madarame by threatening to tell on him to Yachiru if he didn't stop harassing Keigo Asano.

Like all the information on the articles here, the source is the bleach manga. Currently Yachiru's page does not have enough references which is why it is in the article improvement project--God (Pray)  03:18, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

The content of the first paragraph comes from the Soul Society arc, the content of the second paragraph comes from Chapter 197. Tinni  (Talk)  03:31, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your info I have added a sourceMu695 (talk) 19:08, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for helping out! 22:11, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, my brain synapsises fired and I believe the "just over his left shoulder, and is somewhat territorial about this position" part comes from a Volume Sketches where drew Yachiru on Kenpachi's shoulder and included the words "reserved seat" or something while pointing at Kenpachi's shoulder. However, a quick reference for all those statements is Episode 51 during which Yachiru demonstrates all those behaviours. Tinni  (Talk)  21:49, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Gif
Probably not vitally necessary, I just think the that current still is a waste of space as it shows nothing but the fact that colour of her aura is pink. So I made a gif of her power, that shows the demon like shape it takes - which is similar to Kenpachi and stuff. Tinni  (Talk)  21:45, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

Considering that her profile is devoid of gifs, I don't see why it shouldn't be added in. Nothing to fight too hard for though. Mohrpheus  (Talk)  22:10, December 20, 2010 (UTC)

This seems to have been a bit forgotten. At any rate, since there were no one against this proposal - I'll add the gif to her profile. Tinni  (Talk)  23:54, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Zanpakutō
I don't know if this is needed or anything but I thought I might as well bring it up since it's an option!! It the most recent episode (315) there are actually a few shots of Yachiru with her Zanpakutō!! Prsonally I like the image currently being used but I know Anime images are preferred in articles when they can be used!! Just thought I'd bring it up as the option is there!! SunXia  (Chat)  01:03, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Id say go for the anime pic. The current one is zoomed and a bit blurry--


 * Above is the best shot I could get from the episode. I think it is better than the current manga pic.--

Yeah I was going to go for that picutre myself so yeah, for the sake of consistency, I say this picture too!! Let's see if others agree!! SunXia  (Chat)  01:55, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if the opinion of a commoner matters, but that new pic is a very clear picture with the focus clearly being her Zanpakuto, and it's sort of shown much more in "detail" than the existing pic. Speaking for a commoner's view, I'd much rather have that picture than the current pic. Aeron Solo wuz here (talk) 01:59, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

It looks like we are reaching a consensus. Let's wait for one more person to chime in before we put it up.--

The current image is from a color spread, and given previous debates given those, it would be ideal to avoid using them. It helps that the anime image is of better quality; I give it my support. Mohrpheus  (Talk)  05:52, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

I'm with it too. Everyone else already gave their reasons, so there's nothing left for me to add. I say we go for it. Arrancar109 (Talk)  05:58, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Yachiru's nicknames
1. Shouldn't we also include the Japanese-language versions of the nicknames for completion's sake, e.g. "Pururun" for Orihime's "Jiggles"? We already have "Ken-chan" vs. "Kenny", for example.

2. Why is the nicknames list put under "Appearances in Other Media"? Shouldn't it be under "Personality" instead?

MarqFJA (talk) 20:15, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

well, Yachiru did technically say jiggles. And for the appearances in other media thing, that beats me. you can ask Lemursrule or someone else. Blossom Tree (talk) 00:15, April 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, but apparently (according to the article's nickname section, anyway) Yachiru calls Orihime "Big Boobies" and "Boobies", the latter of which is also Yoruichi's nickname. I'm not sure if those are alternative translations of "Pururun" or if they're trsanslations of additional nicknames that Yachiru gave Orihime later. MarqFJA (talk) 11:59, April 20, 2012 (UTC)

In answer to point 2, it was previously listed under the Relationships section, which was eventually removed from all articles. Apparently the nicknames got left behind as a sub-heading and the Other Media section just happened to be above it. While it would more naturally fit with the Personality section, I don't really like the idea of having a big long list like that at the top of the page as it would look odd, so I've stuck it under trivia for now (better than other media) until others express a view. 19:13, June 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally I dislike the list, I don't think it's needed to give all her nicknames when they are mostly shortened versions of the person's name or describing them physically in predictable language!!

Are Yachiru & Unohana related?
Are they? Because Unohana's first name is also Yachiru too in the current chapter.

No they are not. Zaraki gave Yachiru her name when they first met, and based this on the person he respected the most. Before this she had no known name. 13:57, December 12, 2012 (UTC)
