Revision as of 16:15, 20 June 2013

Overview

White (ホワイト, Howaito) was an experimental Hollow used by Sōsuke Aizen many years prior to his defection from Soul Society. It was created based on a Shinigami's soul.[1]

Appearance

White was an almost completely black Hollow. It had a white mask,[2] and its light colored hair reached down to the middle of its back. It had two long, forward-pointing horns protruding from the sides of its head, and its Hollow hole, located in its upper chest, was filled in. It had two blades in place of its forearms.[3]

Personality

White exhibited a cold, calculating personality. Like most Hollows, it acted entirely on instinct, and always chose the weakest victims in the battlefield. It did not respond when questioned by Isshin Kurosaki. During their fight, Isshin noted it felt like he was fighting something more akin to a Shinigami rather than a Hollow.[4]

History

White turns to face Isshin.

Some time ago, White was created as part of Sōsuke Aizen's research. It killed a number of Shinigami in Naruki City, prompting 10th Division Captain Isshin Shiba to investigate.[5] When Isshin tried to lure it out by exerting large amounts of Reiatsu, White attacked two nearby Shinigami before confronting Isshin.[6] As it fought with Isshin, another Shinigami approached.

Turning its attention to the new arrival, White fired a Cero at him before resuming its battle with Isshin. After the captain released his Shikai and was attacked by Aizen, White, continuing to exchange blows with him, lost one of its arms. When Masaki Kurosaki attacked it, White, avoiding her attacks while charging towards her, bit her shoulder before she fired a Heilig Pfeil through its head.[7] Having been severely wounded by this, White self-destructed, forcing Isshin to shield Masaki.[8]


Powers and Abilities

Immense Speed: White was extremely fast, sneaking behind two unseated Shinigami and decapitating them before they even registered its presence.[9] White's speed allowed it to keep up with and pressure a captain and Shunpo expert like Isshin Shiba.[10]

Enhanced Strength: White possessed great strength. When Isshin pinned down its arm, White launched him into the sky, destroying much of the ground around them.[11]

Enhanced Endurance: Even after losing its left arm, White remained able to pressure an injured Isshin in battle.[12]

Enhanced Durability: White is a very durable fighter. Its bladed arms repeatedly withstood clashing with Engetsu without showing any signs of damage until Isshin released his Zanpakutō.[13]

Immense Spiritual Power: White's Reiatsu is powerful enough to visibly intimidate Isshin Shiba, a Shinigami captain. According to Sōsuke Aizen, White should be able to easily defeat any Shinigami captain armed with Shikai.[14]

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Using the bladed appendages on the ends of its arms, White held its own against Isshin Shiba, a known master swordsman.[15]

Cero: Despite Isshin deducing it is not a Menos, White can fire a Cero,[16] which is powerful enough to obliterate an average Shinigami without a trace.[17] Even Isshin, a captain-level Shinigami, was afraid of getting hit by it.[18]

Self-Destruct Mechanism: If White is severely wounded, the matter in its Hollow hole expands, followed by a massive explosion, which can heavily wound a captain.[19]

Trivia

  • Sōsuke Aizen considers its name, White, to be ironic, for White has a black exterior but an "inner whiteness", due to its origins as a Shinigami's soul.[20]
