Headquarters	Las Noches, Hueco Mundo
Affiliation	Sousuke Aizen's Arrancar Army
Purpose	Combat experts of Sousuke Aizen's Arrancar Army

The Números (数字持ち (ヌメロス), Numerosu; Spanish for "Numbers", Japanese for "Number Holders") are the combat experts in Sousuke Aizen's army of Arrancar.

Overview

The moment they are "reborn" from Hollows into Arrancar, each member of Aizen's army is assigned a two-digit number, starting with 11. This number indicates not the order of the Números' strength, but of their birth. Thus, the higher an Arrancar's number, the younger they are. The strongest among the Números can be handpicked by Aizen and promoted to Espada.

Fracción

Fracción (従属官 (フラシオン), Furashion; Spanish for "Fraction", Japanese for "Subordinate Officers") are Arrancar that serve a specific Espada. As proof of their status, the Espada have the right to select subordinates from among the Números to supervise directly. They can choose one or many Fracción, or even none at all.

Trivia

• In the English language release of the anime and manga, Fracción is pluralized as Fracciónes.
• In Ryōgo Narita's novel, Bleach: Spirits Are Forever With You, Roka Paramia was once a Fracción of Cero Espada Szayelaporro Granz. When Szayelaporro was demoted to Privaron Espada, Roka became free from his subordination, and Tres Espada Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck tried to make Roka her Fracción but was attacked by Szayelaporro and Nnoitra Gilga before that could happen. Upon Szayelaporro managing to attain the rank Octava Espada, Roka once again became his Fracción until her master's death.

Klub Outside

• According to Q&A #398 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", Shawlong Koufang was Números #11 because he volunteered to Aizen to be the first test subject for the Hōgyoku to be used on.
