Talk:Hanatarō Yamada

How do we know for sure that Hisagomaru is in the manga as well? Hisagomaru is revealed in the mini scetch style chapters of Bleach, usually on the back of each chapters last page, the animation follows this mini story line to the letter. However, where is it seen that Hisagomaru can take down a gillian? Arieus 10:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It's in anime episode 134. Hanataro filled up the guage by healing a spirit's chain of fate that was about to be ripped off, then released it against the gillian. It didn't kill the gillian alone, though; Yumichika dealt the killing blow with Fuji Kujaku. But both attacks seemed to have similar strength.Darth Havoc 03:15, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Hisagomaru
Hanataro's zanpakuto confuses me. Why does the name change to Akeiro Hisagomaru with only one release? Most zanpakuto only change their name when they go to bankai. Also, I don't know of any other zanpakuto that have any special abilities while in their sealed form, but Hisagomaru heals. It almost seems like Hisagomaru is the shikai and Akeiro Hisagomaru is the bankai. The only problem is that Akeiro Hisagomaru is to small and weak to be a bankai, but it's still stronger than Hisagomaru in terms of dealing damage since Hisagomaru does the exact opposite. Has Tite Kubo ever specifically said otherwise? Darth Havoc 21:25, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
