Espada
The Espada, translated "Ten Blades"; the top dogs in Aizen's army. These are the most powerful arrancar in Hueco Mundo and wield awesome power. Each Espada carries a Zanpakuto and can release their Hollow power with the technique called "Resureccion", the power of this release is in a whole other league than that of the other arrancar. Each Espada is given a number from 1 to 10, depending on their strength, 1 being the most powerful. So here is is, the bios for all the Espada, and their number if it has been revealed
| Stark - The "Primera", or number one Espada, meaning he's the most powerful, is a male arrancar who appears to be very lazy; he is seen sleeping when the Espada learn of Aaroniero Arruruerie's death, and does not appear overly concerned by the news. His shoulder-length hair is dark and parted down the middle. He also has a goatee. The remains of his hollow mask consist of a bottom jaw that is positioned like a necklace. His hollow hole is on his sternum, right below the tip of his mask. He is very fast, as he manages to kidnap Orihime while Kenpachi and Ichigo are only a few meters away. Stark's Fraccion is Lilinette, who is actually a part of him. As most Arrancar had their power split between their bodies and their swords, Stark split into two bodies, one being Lilinette. When they become one again, their full power is release in for form of his Resurrecion: "Los Lobos" (translated: "The Wolves"). While in this form, his ensemble resembles that of a wild west cowboy, complete with dual pistols and cowboy boots. Stark embodies the aspect of "lonlieness" in regards to the 10 aspects of death. |  |
Baragan - The 2nd Espada; a stout, older, grumpy-looking arrancar. The remnant of his mask takes the form of a five-pointed crown. He also bears large visible scars on the left side of his chin and across his right eye. He wears a short sleeved jacket with a fur collar. In addition to a standard obi, he also wears a belt consisting of three thick chains attached to a large metal buckler with a sun emblem. He has four large Fracción: Po, Abirama Redder, Findor, and Charlotte CoolHorn. It is unclear whether he is the 1st Espada or not, but he does take over and issues orders to the other Espada when Aizen is "trapped" in Yamamoto's fiery prison, all while sitting on a large skeletal "throne" he seemed to have brought with him. This throne appears to house the essence of his Zanpakuto, which embodies the form of a large double-bladed battle axe. His Resurrecion release is called upon with the word "Rot" and bears the name "Arrogante" (Translated "Arrogance") and transforms him into a skeletal figure in a large flowing black cloak. Barragan embodies the askect of death dealing with old age, meaning his domain is time. His power enables him to age the very bones of his enemies with a simple touch. While in Resurrection, he gains an enhanced version of his battle-axe zanpakuto called "Gran Caida" (translated "Grand Pale Downfall".
| Halbiel - the only current female Espada, who currently bears the rank of number 3. She has dark skin, green eyes, spiky blonde hair with several braided locks, and wears an oddly-cut variation of the arrancar jacket that bares a good portion of her breasts. The jacket is extended slightly in the anime to better cover this. Halibel carries her Zanpakuto on her back; the sword itself is notably broad and short compared to others and has a western-style guard. The remnants of her hollow mask are partially covered by her collar, but it is clear that she at least has pieces of mask on both sides of her cheeks. Halibel rarely speaks, and when she does is fairly serious, such as when she tells her subordinates that being afraid of an Espada's released form is a natural reaction.Halibel's Fracción consists of three female arrancar: Apache, Mila Rose, and Sun-sun. |  |
| Neliel Tu Oderschvank - The former 3rd Espada, she is commonly known as Nel Tu, is a good-natured, child-like arrancar when first introduced. The remains of her hollow mask make up a cartoonish skull on the top of her head. Nel's appearance is in stark contrast to her vocabulary, which contains a number of bizarre phrases and words one wouldn't expect such a small child to know, such as referring to herself as a masochist. Nel and her companions represent oddities among hollows; though most hollows are evil, Nel actually fears Soul Reapers, assuming they are in fact the evil ones. In spite of this, she develops an attachment to Ichigo and follows him into Las Noches. Nel's true form is that of a fully-grown woman with longer hair but otherwise similar features. Her skull mask changes slightly, its features appearing less cartoonish. It also grows a pair of curved horns. A large "3" tattooed on her back indicates that she was previously the 3rd Espada. She was expelled from Las Noches by Nnitra Jiruga after a sneak attack by him and Szayel Aporro Granz caused her to turn into her child-form and gave her amnesia. Because of her amnesia, she is doubtful when Nnoitra identifies her as a former Espada, but when he begins harming Ichigo, Nel's concern causes her to spontaneously transform into her previous form. Although having grown up physically, she still seems to have her child-like affection over Ichigo, as she suddenly hugs him after attacking Nnoitra without realizing that Ichigo was losing consciousness. She reverts back to her child form, with no apparent memory of what had just occurred, before she can defeat Nnoitra and is left at his mercy. In her child and adult forms, Nel has the ability to swallow Cero blasts and fire them back, dubbed "double Cero" and was apparently her signature techique. Her vomit (which she believes to be saliva) also acts as a powerful healing agent. In her adult form, Nel's speed and strength are greatly increased, and her attack absorption ability is much easier for her to use. Nel's zanpakutō, which manifests when she transforms, is named Gamuza (translated "antelope knight") with a green sheath and hilt shaped like two crescent moons back-to-back. It is released by calling out "declare". Her released form is that of a centaur with longer curved horns, a thick tail, and armor over her shoulders and hands. Her sword transforms into a double-ended lance, giving her the appearance of a medieval knight or a jouster. One of her attacks is called Lanzador Verde ( translated "green spearman"), in which she throws her lance directly at her opponent. The lance moves at high speed and rotates extremely fast, drilling through anything it hits. |  |
| Ulquiorra Schiffer - Ulquiorra is a male arrancar with a melancholic appearance and has green eyes with slit pupils. He has cyan lines descending from his eyes, making it appear as if he is crying, and is almost always frowning. He wears typical arrancar clothes: a white jacket, black sash, and a white hakama; however, his jacket has longer coat-tails than others. Like most other arrancar, he possesses remnants of his former life as a Hollow in his appearance. In his first appearance, Ulquiorra's hollow hole is positioned at the base of his neck, but when Ichigo encounters Ulquiorra in Las Noches, it has been moved onto his chest. The remainder of his Hollow mask lies on top of his head, forming a broken helmet, much like that of the example silhouette of a Vasto Lorde. His Espada number, four, signifying his rank amongst the Espada and level of power, is tattooed on the left side of his chest. Ulquiorra is a very cold and callous figure, hitting his comrade Yammy in the stomach with his arm on one occasion in an effort to get his attention. Furthermore, he displays extreme disinterest in the greater portion of his battle, tending to keep his hands in his pockets while he fights. He also deems anyone he does not find of particular interest to be "trash" and therefore expendable. As noted by Grimmjow, Ulquiorra has a habit of stabbing people in the same location as his hollow hole whenever he's particularly interested in a battle. Whether he is consciously aware of this habit or not is unknown. Ulquiorra is also analytical; during his and Yammy's first visit to the human world, he makes several remarks on the humans who confront them. He theorizes that Orihime's helaing power is a temporal-spatial altering ability, which Aizen describes as the rejection of fate, and comments on how Ichigo's Bankai can easily get through Yammy's defenses. He also notes Ichigo's power fluctuation, which varies between very weak to stronger than his own. It would appear that Ulquiorra and Grimmjow, the 6th Espada, are not on good terms. While Ulquiorra allowed Yammy to kill anyone he deemed as "trash", which included Ichigo, Ulquiorra allowed him to live based on his belief that Ichigo's power was so turbulent that eventually he would destroy himself. Grimmjow's conflicting viewpoint was that Ichigo should have been destroyed outright, as he could overcome his weakness and grow even stronger. Despite Grimmjow's argument, Aizen trusted Ulquiorra's judgement. |  |
| Nnoitra Jiruga - the 5th Espada, signified by the "5" tattoo on his tongue. He is an extremely tall and lanky arrancar, especially with the large hood-like collar of his jacket standing straight up. He has long, black hair, and typically wears a huge smile on his face which reveals his upper teeth. Nnoitra also wears a large eye-patch that covers most of the left side of his face. His hollow hole and mask fragments are behind the eyepatch, the latter consisting of a small set of jawbones and teeth surrounding his hollow hole. Nnoitra is rude and lecherous, accented by his serpent-like features and his nickname for Orihime: "pet-sama". He seems to firmly believe in male dominance, and makes a point of disgracing any female arrancar in a position of authority over men. This resulted in his sneak-attack on the previous third Espada Neliel as revenge for constantly defeating him in battle; after this, he expelled her from Las Noches, hoping to be stronger by the time she returned. Ultimately, Nnoitra desires to prove that his strength is the greatest of the Espada, and takes advantage of any weakness to achieve this end; however, he generally does not bother attacking opponents who appear unconscious or incapacitated. It is revealed that this stems from an inferiority complex he developed whilst serving with Nel Tu. Nnoitra attacks Chad after his defeat of Gantenbainne Mosqueda, though is disappointed with how quickly he wins. Nnoitra then heads off to battle Ichigo once the latter has defeated Grimmjow. With Ichigo weakened and unable to defend himself, Nel Tu briefly fights in his place; though she almost defeats him with her released form, her reversion to a child leaves her no match for Nnoitra. It is not until Kenpachi Zaraki arrives that Nnoitra is drawn off. The two exchange increasingly more devastating blows, each finding great enjoyment in the fact that they can survive one another's attacks and therefore prolong the battle. Kenpachi, via the use of Kendo, eventually claims victory once Nnoitra is no longer able to endure his attacks. Nnoitra refuses to accept defeat, however, and charges Kenpachi once more, only to be struck down. Nnoitra dies on his own two feet before his body even hits the ground, the type of death he had always hoped for. Having the self-proclaimed toughest Hierro of any Espada, past or present, Nnoitra can deflect powerful attacks without any sign of injury. He has the ability to track and measure sources of spiritual power by touching his fingertip to the ground. He fires Cero blasts from the tip of his tongue. His Zanpakuto Santa Teresa (translated "sacred crying mantis"), takes the form of a giant axe-like weapon bearing two craescent moon blades fused together at their backs with a large-looped chain connected to a ring at the knob of the shaft. In flashbacks to his time as the 8th Espada, Nnoitra's Zanpakuto only possesses one outward-facing crescent moon, as opposed to the two it features now. It is released by calling out "pray". When released, Nnoitra gains two additional sets of arms, each wielding identical scythe-like blades produced from the folds of his wrists. He usually conceals the second set to surprise opponents. His Hollow mask changes, looking torn and gaining jagged teeth. He also grows a pair of horns on his head, one longer on one side than the other, mimicking the crescent shape of his sealed Zanpakuto. Nnoitra's wounds heal almost instantly in his released state, and he can also regenerate severed limbs. |  |
| Grimmjow Jagerjaques - Grimmjow has light blue hair and eyes, which have blue/green lines below them similar to the eye markings on Ikkaku Madarme's eyes. Grimmjow's attire consists of a white hakama and a black sash; his white jacket is ragged with an upturned collar. The inner lining is black, the sleeves are rolled up, and Grimmjow wears it open, leaving his chest revealed. The remains of his Hollow mask consist of the right jawbone, and his hollow hole has moved to his abdomen. Grimmjow appears to be a laid back and irreverent individual at first glance, but this scruffy exterior hides an impulsive, excessively violent personality and a lethally short temper. Grimmjow is blunt, rude, and quite sadistic, revealing a psychotic grin whenever he becomes excited, much like Kenpachi Zaraki. Grimmjow has little respect for authority and says whatever is on his mind, regardless of whether or not it is appropriate. This attitude leads to conflicts with Kaname Tosen, who holds Grimmjow in the same low regard as he did Zaraki. He also has conflicts with Ulquiorra, usually because Ulquiorra interrupts his battles or doesn't act on his own impulses. He has also developed a grudge against Ichigo for wounding him during their first and second fights, and is eager to return the favor. He purposefully kept the large scar on his chest from their first battle as a reminder of this. Grimmjow is the sixth Espada in Aizen's army of arrancar. Grimmjow was the first character to be revealed as an Espada in the series. A crooked number 6 is tattooed on his back just above and to the right of his Hollow hole. After Kaname Tosen cuts off and incinerates his arm, Grimmjow is demoted and quickly replaced by Luppi, much to his annoyance. After Orihime heals his arm, he brutally butchers Luppi to regain his rank, impaling him on his newly restored arm and then vaporizing Luppi's torso with a Cero blast. Grimmjow, depite his rudness, does appear to have some sort of a code of honor, as he is unwilling to fight an injured Ichigo, bringing Orihime to heal him beforehand so their battle will be a fair one. He also saves Orihime from two female arrancar beating her to repay the debt of restoring his arm, though he does ask another favor from her in return (which was to heal Ichigo so that they can fight on equal ground). Despite his aggression and obvious bloodlust in battle he possesses a feral cunning and has a knack for quickly exploiting any opening his opponent reveals. His Zanpakuto is called Pantera (translated "Panther King") and is released by calling out "grind". Grimmjow gains a feline predatory appearance when he releases his Zanpakuto, and gains new abilities. Besides increasing his speed and power, he gains the ability to fire up to five small "darts", each able to level buildings. He is also able to call upon his greatest technique, Desgarron (translated "Laceration"), in which long blades of spirit energy protrude backwards from his claws and allow h im to swing them, thus throwing them at his enemies, to attack |  |
| Luppi - The former 6th Espada that temporarily replaces Grimmjow when he is demoted by the loss of his arm from Tousen's punishment for defying oders. Luppi appears youthful with short black hair and a rather feminine face. The remains of his hollow mask (a top row of teeth) rests on the left side of his head. Luppi's attire consists of long sleeves that fall past his hands, hiding them. His Espada tattoo is prominently displayed on his right hip. Luppi tends to be rather arrogant, insulting Grimmjow for his demotion and boasting constantly when in battle. He tends to say "Sorry!" in a mocking tone after insulting somebody. After Grimmjow's arm is restored, he kills Luppi to regain his Espada rank. Luppi and Gin Ichimaru seem to have been on good terms, as Gin comments about being lonely after Luppi's death, citing the fact that the two often spoke. Luppi's Zanpakuto is Trepadora (translated "ivy girl"), a short blade resembling a kodachi or tantō that he wears close to the underarm. Trepadora is released with the command "strangle". When Trepadora is released, eight tendrils sprout from a carapace mounted on Luppi's back. Luppi's mask also changes, growing into a makeshift helmet. Luppi can freely and independently control these tentacles to attack his opponents, making him skilled at group combat. The tentacles can also grow spikes to cause additional damage. The carapace is able to rotate, allowing Luppi to spin the tentacles like helicopter blades. |  |
| Zommari Leroux - the 7th Espada. He is a tall, dark-skinned arrancar who displays a calm, contemplative personality and rarely speaks prior to his confrontation with Byakuya Kuchiki. The remnants of his hollow mask consist of a small row of bony spikes extending along the crest of his head, skull-shaped earrings, and a bony necklace. After learning of Aaroniero Arruruerie's death, Zommari goes to kill Aaroniero's killer, Rukia Kuchiki. He is interrupted by her brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, and the two do battle. Though he releases his zanpakutō and tries to use its abilities against Byakuya, Zommari is no match for Byakuya's bankai. Realizing that he has lost, he angrily dismisses Soul Reapers as arrogant for believing they have a right to hunt and judge hollows simply because they consider them evil. Byakuya counters that Zommari's attempt to harm Rukia (his "pride") is what has sealed his fate, and strikes him down. Zommari dies shouting his praise for Aizen. Zommari has the self-proclaimed fastest sonído among the Espada. With his sonido he can leave up to five afterimages of himself behind when he moves, which earned it the name Gemelos Sonido (translated "twin resounding revolution"). His Zanpakuto is called Brujería (translated "sangrha of bewitching eyes") and resembles a short sword with a guard that appears as a thick disk with spikes around the rim. It is released by the command "suppress". When released, Brujería covers his entire body with forty-eight open eyes, and his legs are replaced by a pumpkin-like structure surrounded by cycloptic faces and many of these eyes. Using the eyes on his body, Zommari can take control of one object per eye, for a total of fifty objects. He refers to the effect as amor (Spanish for "love"). Although he can take control of an opponent's limbs individually, he can also take control of their entire body by targeting their head. The release can also be used as a defensive resource, as its lower half can become a full sphere that covers his upper body. |  |
| Szayel Aporro Granz - the 8th Espada and Yylfordt Granz's younger brother. He has shoulder-length pink hair and reddish-orange eyes. The remains of his Hollow mask take the form of rectangular-framed glasses that give him a scholarly appearance. Szayel is an intellectual and the scientist of the Espada, thinking highly of himself and following his plans down to the finest detail, delighting in researching different specimines of Reishi. He is quite sadistic and views others as little more than research material, similar to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's views. He thinks poorly of non-Hollows, and hopes that Aizen will someday eliminate all entities that aren't Hollows. Szayel has a variety of methods for analyzing an opponent's abilities, such as studying the damage done to their former opponents, witnesses when he revealed he used his brother to gather data on Renji, revealing he places survey equipment on him so he could study any opponent he fought. Once doing so, Szayel can nullify the effects of their abilities, making him virtually immune to their attacks. In addition to the immunities gained from studying his opponents, Szayel has his own Fracción. He has personally modified each of them so that he can heal his wounds by eating them. Those so devoured can be recreated later. Szayel's Zanpakutō is Fornicás (translated "Lewd concubine"). Its release command is "sip". Szayel releases his Zanpakutō by swallowing it. His body then swells to enormous proportions and explodes, revealing Szayel's released form. In his released form, Szayel grows a pair of wing-shaped structures from his back while his lower body transforms into a flock of long tentacles. Blood-like liquid drips from his clothes, fingertips, and wings in this state. He also has three red lines coming from his left eye and his hollow "glasses" change shape, forming into what appear to be broken goggles. Szayel's released state grants him a number of different abilities. When droplets of the liquid dripping from his body touch an opponent, a copy of them is created that uses their own abilities against them. Szayel occasionally alters these clones' appearances to make them more aesthetically suitable. By wrapping an opponent in his wings, Szayel can create voodoo dolls of them. Any damage done to the dolls' internal organs (accessed by taking them apart and removing the organs with no damage to the original) is done to the original, debilitating them from the inside. Should he be eaten, Szayel can gain control of the opponent's nervous system, allowing him to gain complete control of their body. His final ability, called "Gabriel", allows him to be reborn if he is injured beyond repair by impregnating an enemy. He then devours his way out of their body, killing them in the process. Szayel takes great pride in this ability, comparing it to that of a phoenix. Szayel engages Renji Abarai and Uryuu Ishida in battle, during the course of which he nullifies each of their abilities and damages them enough to be in a non-combative state. Just as he loses interest in them and is about to finish them off, Mayuri Kurotsuchi arrives to help them. Being of equal scientific and analytical ability as Szayel, Mayuri is able to render all of Szayel's abilities useless. When Szayel reconstitutes himself inside of Nemu Kurotsuchi after Mayuri kills him, he inadvertently ingests a large dosage of poison inside Nemu which vastly augments his reaction time and perceptions, to the point where one second seems like a century to him. With his physical body unable to compensate for his over-enhanced mental state, Szayel is effectively paralyzed. Mayuri stabs him through his hand and heart and breaks the blade off, leaving Szayel to suffer for what seems as an eternity to him, while begging for a quick death. |  |
| Aaroniero Arruruerie - the 9th Espada and the last of the first-generation Espada. He has an unusual glass capsule filled with red liquid and two floating masks in place of a head, which he usually covers with a tall white mask. The two masks are both tattooed with the number 9, signifying his rank, and tend to talk in tandem when revealed, giving the effect of two people speaking in turn. The upper mask speaks with a deep voice while the other speaks in a high-pitched, child-like voice, and appear to have a level of individuality. Aaroniero is the only gillian-born arrancar among the Espada. His unique ability to absorb other hollows in their entirety is what allowed him to retain his position. While all Hollows can cannibalize each other to gain power, Aaroniero can absorb not only their extra power, but their unique abilities and memories as well. Once a Hollow is absorbed in this fashion, Aaroniero can manifest any aspect of them at will, including their physical form. Through an unusual series of events, he also absorbs the Soul Reaper abilities of Kaien Shiba by eating Metastacia. While in Kaien's form, he is able to use the former Lieutenant's Zanpakuto, as well as it's Shikai. Since he retains the memories of Kaien's training and battle experience in using his Zanpakuto, he is able to use it effectively, and with it's full power. The weakness of his shape-shifting power is sunlight, which nullifies it on contact and reveals Aaroniero's true form. Aaroniero also possesses what is called Synchronized Recognition, the ability to broadcast information of whatever he is currently seeing or experiencing to other arrancar, which he does prior to his death at the hands of Rukia Kuchiki. Aaroniero's Zanpakuto is Glotonería (translated "eating Hollow", or "Glutonny"). It is activated by the command "swallow whole". When sealed, it takes the form of a deformed arm-like appendage with many sprouting tentacles that is concealed under a glove. When released, it turns Aaroniero's lower body into a huge, purple, octopus-like mass with dozens of tentacles and cartoonish mouth-like mask pieces. This form represents the combined form of the 33,650 Hollows he has absorbed. With Glotonería released, Aaroniero can access the full range of his abilities at will, as opposed to the single ability limit imposed on him when it is sealed, allowing him to call upon the powers of all the thousands of Hollows he's absorbed at will. |  |
| Yammy - the 10th Espada. He is a giant, dark-skinned arrancar with a distinct ridged cranium and a black pony-tail. What remains of his hollow mask is the jawbone, which rests on his chin. A tattoo of the number ten, signifying Yammy's rank and level of power amongst the Espada, is on his left shoulder. Not the most intelligent individual, relying on Ulquiorra to distinguish between foes worth of being eliminated when they first ender the World of the Living. Yammy relies on his brute strength in battle, taking little interest in using his sword until he is overpowered. In addition to his strength, he makes use of Cero and Bala blasts, like many other high-class hollows and arrancar. Aside from his fighting abilities, Yammy can suck the souls from living humans en masse using Gonzui (translated "soul sucker"). It affects a wide area, but any individual with even slight spiritual power is able to resist it. Upon confronting Ichigo, his arm is relieved from his body in one slash, which could have been avoided if he had concentrated his Hierro and not underestimated Ichigo, as revealed by Ulquiorra. He could have fallen to the same demotion as Grimmjow if his arm hadn't been retreived upon their exit, and re-attached in Hueco Mundo. |  |
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Privaron Espada
| The Privaron Espada are the first generation Espada, that were stripped of their former Espada rank in favor of the more powerful current Espada. Though they are "fallen Espada" as the word is translated, they are not to be underestimated, as they were formerly the strongest Arrancar in Hueco Mundo. There are only 3 known Privaron Espada, and with the story going the way it is, it is doubtful that any more, if any more exist, will be revealed. |  |
| Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio - Arrancar No. 103, implying he is the former 3rd Espada, Dordonii resembles a stereotypical portrayal of the Devil. His hair is done into a pair of "horns" and he has a van-dyke beard and mustache. The remains of his hollow mask consists of a small plate with horns mirroring those in his hair. In comparison with the other arrancar, he has a more goofy personality, similar to Don Kanoji's. He is much more serious in battle, however. During his battle with Ichigo Kuraosaki, Dordonii refers to Nel Tu as "bebé" (translated "baby") and to Ichigo as "niño" (translated "boy"). He tries to goad Ichigo into using his Bankai and Hollow mask, hoping to impress Aizen enough to earn his former position of Espada back by defeating Ichigo at full power. He is defeated once Ichigo complies, and thanks Ichigo for the favor by fighting against the Exequias to buy Ichigo time to escape. He is implied to have been killed by the Exequias. Dordonii's Zanpakuto is named Giralda (translated "storm baron") and is released with the phrase "whirl". When Giralda is released, Dordonii grows large horns on his shoulders and armor that starts at his feet, wraps around his calves, and juts out at his waist with two more spikes. His mask also extends, framing his face. While released, two enormous cyclones come from exhaust spouts on the armor covering his legs, which keeps him hovering in the air and add extra force to his kicks. In addition, two beak-like extensions jut out from these cyclones, which are used to execute long-range strikes, though Dordonii is also capable of manifesting many more if the need arises. Dordonii is able to release his Zanpakuto without unsheathing it. |  |
| Cirucci Thunderwitch - Arrancar No. 105, implying the former 5th Espada, she dresses akin to the gothic lolita style of Japanese fashion. Her outfit consists of a frilly dress, large poofy sleeves that cut off at her shoulder, short purple-colored hair, teardrop markings on each cheek, and knee-high boots. Cirucci has wings on her back, but it is unclear if they are part of her outfit or something else. The remains of her Hollow mask are positioned in her hair right above the left side of her forehead and resemble a spiked hairpin. Despite her rather odd appearance, she has no qualms about pointing out when others have similar habits, as she does to Uryuu Ishida. She also gets quite bothered if an enemy attacks her while she is talking. Once Uryuu defeats her, she is implied to have been killed by the Exequias. Cirucci's Zanpakuto is named Golondrina (translated "wheeled steel swallow ") and is released with the phrase "tear off" . In its sealed form, it takes the form of a whip with a large spinning disk looped into it, giving it the appearance of a massive yo-yo. The heavy disk can reflect projectiles and smash through thick pillars with ease, while the long cord allows Cirucci to attack from great distances. In her released form, Cirucci sprouts large wings with ten moon-shaped blades in place of feathers. In addition to their normal offensive and defensive properties, Cirucci can remove these blades and fire them through the air or summon them back at her own will. Her wings and feathers vibrate at high speeds that increase her attack and defense capabilities, able to deflect Uryuu's arrows. Her arms also become long and she gains sharp claws on each hand, and she forms a long, thick tail. Armor that resembles the spinning disk of her zanpakutō appears on each of her shoulders. Her mask grows into 'feathers' flowing from her forehead, down her back, and then coming out from each side at her waist. Cirucci's release consumes her spiritual powers rapidly, but she can get around that problem by ripping off her wings and long claws, instead using the tip of her elongated mask to collect spiritual energy and use it to fight with an energy blade at the tip of her tail. This change is permanent, however, akin to amputating a limb. |  |
| Gantenbainne Mosqueda - Arrancar No. 107, implying the former 7th Espada, Gantenbainne has an afro-style hairdoo with thick sideburns and a goatee. His outfit has been modified to match his particular style, including large frills on his collar and thighs. The remains of his Hollow mask are a sunglasses-shaped plate on his forehead with four teeth coming out above each eye. There is a star in the center of the mask fragment, which allows Gantenbainne to see when he pulls the plate down over his eyes. During his battle with Chad, he inadvertently helps Chad unlock his true potential, since Chad's powers are similar to those of Hollows, and the continued punishment by a Hollow allowed him to calm and control his power. Gantenbainne is defeated by Chad, who spares him in thanks for fighting with all of his strength and helping him grasp his full power. After being defeated, he warns Chad of an incoming Nnoitra who easily dispatches him with one hit. After Chad's defeat, both he and Chad are found lying unconscious on the ground by the Exequias. Captain Unohana intervenes before they can be killed. Gantenbainne's Zanpakuto is called Dragra (translated "dragon fist"). In its sealed state, it exists as a pair of two-pronged punching daggers attached to Gantenbainne's wrists by hinges. Gantenbainne can charge the daggers to give his punches an extra electrified power. When Dragra is released, Gantenbainne's arms grow longer and become covered in dome-shaped armor plates, and the punching daggers come to resemble dragon heads. Similar plates also extend down his back and form a tail, giving him an appearance similar to an armadillo. He pulls his mask fragment over his eyes at certain points in combat. Dragra does not appear to have a release command; Gantenbainne releases it by simply saying its name. When attacking, he can shoot various blasts from his fists. His strongest attack involves him gathering and concentrating energy from his tail tip to his fists and firing a large blast, a technique he calls "Dios, ruego nos perdone" (translated "Ye Lord, bestow forgiveness upon us."). |  |
