Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1)  I vote month after month for Aizen. He is probably the second most developed character behind Ichigo. His article is extremely well made and organized. He has been involved in the plot from the beginning and is never out of it. Aizen is the perfect villain for this series and its time we put him as the article of the month. --Godisme 20:28, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2)  I think Captain Aizen has one of the best articles on this site. It is very well organized and has a ton of detail to it. He is always featured prominently in the series and I think he would make a great article of the month.--Rockstar9 20:11, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  I cast my vote in support of Aizen. I often find myself going to his article to read up on something I have forgotten and I have always been impressed by how detailed it is. Its also a very interesting read. --Mr.Man1 19:23, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4)  Like the above poster mentioned, his article includes details chronicling almost every part of the story thus far. Every thing in his article is extremely well written and detailed. He definitely gets my vote.--TheBlade96 05:52, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5)  How has Aizen never been article of the month? I have glanced at this site for months but never felt the need to make an account until I saw that he had never been article of the month. His article is the most beneficial when trying to understand the story. It is full of rich information that includes nearly every detail ever mentioned about the man. He is always prevalent in the manga and he is a great character. I give my vote to him.--Mangadude1963 06:06, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  I almost forgot about this thing. Aizen has the best article hands down. It is very clear and precise. It is one of the few articles that is not overly bloated with info. Its a very interesting article as well and I enjoy reading it often. Not to mention that Aizen is so badass.--BarnabusStinson 06:30, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7)  If we are talking of which is the best article, then only two stand out in my mind. Ichigo's and Aizen's. Seeing as Ichigo has yet to get a vote I will make my vote count and vote for Aizen. He has a great article that features little to no grammatical mistakes, provides a lot of information and the pictures are of very high quality as well. The animated gif of his release only goes to show the high quality of this article.--TheDude91 13:28, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8)  I wanted to join this month and vote for the featured article. Taking a look I saw it was coming down to Aizen or Hisagi. I looked at both articles and I have to say that Aizen's is superior. The detail put into Aizen's article is far greater than that put into Hisagi's. Aizen has a very high quality article that I think deserves to be article of the month.--Imbetterthanyou1 13:44, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9)  there is no doubt in my mind that Aizen has the best article on this site. It is very factual, organized, includes more detail than most articles and does it with out grammatical error. My vote goes to him--Doomslayer6795 20:25, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10)  Gotta throw my support behind Aizen. He is such a cool character and his article really reflects this. Its not that long but is packed with detail and is one of the easiest articles to read that I have found. The pics are cool too. THe one demonstrating his release is very helpful to the article--Stumbledupon 21:09, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 11)  Well, I have to say that Aizen must win this, his article is well organized, awesome pictures, it shows how great he is overall, espacially since he's the main villan and he has had a pretty big role this month (well, maybe not as big as Tosen). So to summary, great quality article, my vote goes for this. Flamezthe4 21:13, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't really see the article reflecting what i expect from the character. The article is good i just found others more defined or cohesive then i found Aizen's. The lack of development in the story as from the soul society arc/arrancar sort of shows in the article. While it has the references and the material it still seems to lack something significant for me as far as a article is concerned. Inuyasha525 23:32, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * My biggest issue with Aizen besides his character is the article. While as some have listed it is well maintained I find that the article doesn't gel at all with the rest of the site. For the character to be so important he seems apart from the story line. That is not really the fault of the site as i said the article is done well, maybe the writing (Sorry Kubo forgive the blasphemy) it just doesn't seem to showcase any connection with the story like all the others i have seen. Chibilover 23:57, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

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 been a pivotal character in the Manga recently and his article is very detailed and clear and concise over his powers and thus more accurate compared to the likes of Tosen and Aizen, whose full abilities we have yet to see complete evidence of!! A much more complete article at this time!! SunXia 19:09, December 31, 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. MidoriPanda 20:30, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6)  Hisagi's article is well organised, has had a significant increase of relevant information since the start of the FKT arc and promises to expand even further. This makes his article a worthy candidate --Eternal Breath 10:32, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7)  Hisagi has a very well written and organized article. The pictures are of good quality, and his participation in the manga as of late has been extraordinary( by this I mean killing his former Captain, Kaname Tosen). By these standards, I believe that Hisagi's article should win. Wrath022 15:30, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8)  Hisagi deserves to be featured since his article has a lot of new and interesting information with no speculation at all. TheDevilHand888 06:35, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9)  Hisagi's article is, simply put, well-written, without errors on grammar and spelling, and the pictures and quotes fit nicely. It's never out of place, just right. My vote goes out to Hisagi, who has already killed former captain Tosen, which by no means should be an easy feat for anyone. Hisagi has also had much character developement over time this month. TheDivineOne 20:45, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10)  I had to join because of the recent manga. By far i have enjoyed Hisagi's role and when i got here his article was amazing just full of information including the most up to date information on the character. The article is well written and contributes the the over all development of this site which is very good due to its informative and complete articles. It is also greatly referenced. Inuyasha525 23:28, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
 * 11)  I was somewhat conflicted on who to pick but after going over at least 4 articles Hisagi struck me as detailed, well referenced and up to date. The character development portrayed in the series is evident from his brief intro during the soul society arc up until this most recent chapter. The article reflects that entirely. Who ever has been keeping it up is doing a good job. Work like this makes the site number one in my book. Chibilover 23:51, December 31, 2009 (UTC)


 * Despite him killing Tosen, let's face it: He's just too underrated to be January's featured article. I mean, his persona in the series hasn't been introduced well when he made his debut, making his character development poor. More importantly, the pictures in his article aren't consistent enough; i.e. Better images like him killing Barragan's subordinate would have been more precise than "intimidating" the latter. And as a result, other characters deserve to be featured more than him.--Ethelion 21:38, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Sajin Komamura

 * 1)  Another photo finish for me. It's surprising how I'm the only person so far who's voting for Komamura; His article has been recently updated this month and his role in the manga has been significant due to his scuffle with Tosen. As an added bonus, his quotes this month have caught my attention the most. After all, he's the ultimate good guy, arguably being the kindest character in the series.--Ethelion 21:24, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

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)
 * 3)  With Tosen's recent death I think this would be an excellent featured article. The Article is well written, despite edit wars on it. The pictures are up to date, and all and all it is a good read. He uses the first Bankai, and it technically redeemed before his death so I say that this would be a very fitting Featured Article. ~ NOTASTAFF Ryun Uchiha (Ten Tailed Fox, Getsueikirite-taichou) (talk) 05:51, December 26, 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. Tinni   (Talk)  16:10, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * I wanted to give Kaname my support this month, for all the changes and development that he's showed, and because he won't have another chance, but let's face it, we're a mess with him. From the simple battle of "where to put his Resurreccion ability", and how much speculation we have on him, the article is a bit of a problem. I'm not even sure if there's already a decison whether he had or didn't have Hierro. And if he died because Aizen killed him long distance, or he simply exploded in blood, how really powerful he was, etc. Yes, this would be a good way to sum up this month, with Tosen's death on the cover, but the article needs severe cleaning and a lot of issues need to be solved. Lia Schiffer 06:02, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * As great as Kaname's swan song was this month,as well as his revealed powers and techniques, it would be injustice to feature his article simply because of all the changes and edit and protections. Too much speculation allowed so many countless and unnecassry edits that his article went on lockdown. Plus, there is more cleaning up need to be done. Heading into the new year, featuring such a protective and edited article with lots of improvement needed to be done would be wrong. TheDivineOne 20:57, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

No Proper Reason Given
Sōsuke Aizen
 * Fangirls/boys: AIZEN-sama!!! *scream*

Aizen: STOP IT! I'M THE VILLAN DAMN IT!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HATE ME!!!
 * 1)  I vote for aizen because next manga, its probably gonna have his fight between ichigo and aizen. and aizen hasnt been chosen before, just cause he's enemy doesn't mean he shouldn't be put Zangetsu20
 * 2)  I seriously think that Aizen is one of the most detailed characters in the manga and in this site. Not to mention that whenever he shows up in the series, something big usually follows. Also that is article practically has detail from most of the events in the series and is in/mention in every arc. So my vote goes to Aizen. --erikaakire 22:27, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  Seeing as how Koga doesnt have any votes Ill make my vote count and vote Aizen. I like his article better than Hisagis. I think it is clearer and has better descriptions. Hisagis has more noticeable grammar mistakes. Aizen also has some really cool pictures--Koga Kuchki 21:03, December 31, 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)
 * 2)  Shuhei is one great shiginami. he has shown great fighting skills and management while only being a lieutenant and temporary captain of squad 9. his fighting skills are really well and knows how 2 lead. He has shown that he dosen't let his feelings get in the way of battle. This was shown when he killed his former captain Kaname Tosen. HE also is a great team work person this was shown when he was fighting allon and he was able to cover for izuru kira while he tended to the wounds of the other lieutenants that had been injured while in the battle. His fighting skills have also shown while he dosent like to release his shikai he is very good at fighting with it and is very skillful while wielding it.Bleachfan14 17:00, December 25,2009 (UTC)
 * 3)  Shuhei has been in the thick of things in both Anime and Manga - in both the Fake Karakura Town and Zanpaku-tou Tales arcs over the last few months, and of course, he gave it to Tousen last week with Kazeshini. Shuhei deserves the respect!--Kahauna
 * 4)  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)

Shunsui Kyōraku
 * 1)  I really like this man.He has a very special style himself that makes him look even coller.He also defeaats the strongest Espada,Coyotte Stark.

Jūshirō Ukitake
 * 1)  Okay, I agree with this. Jushiro is an incredibly brave character, and after what he went through with Starrk, he deserves to be the article of the month. He also has tuberculosis and is sick on a lot of times, but is so dedicated to his squad and is one of the most generous characters in the series. He hardly ever gets angry, and is always considerate of others before himself, even if it means causing himself harm. That is why I vote for him.

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)

Character Not Recently Featured
Szayel Aporro Granz
 * 1)  I vote for Szyayel Aporro because he is an insane character, and has an incredible personality, being a sadist. Plus, who doesn't love his great pink hair and the glasses?! They're awesome! ^^ XD KiranTheBoi 13:30 pm, December 27th, 2009.

Wonderweiss Margera
 * 1) -I support Wonderweiss because he is a great character to be featured.He is also my favorite character.He is a very intresting character and very out of the ordinary.He has a very different personality from the rest of the characters.--Fullmetalkitten101 14:06, December 27,2009 (UTC)

Vote Was Not Signed
Shunsui Kyōraku
 * 1)  He has to be one of the best characters in Bleach. His article is well organised and incredibly detailed. He is a good representation of the quality of Bleach. He is one of the characters that I would love to see more of.
