I thought Yami was an Ajuukaru, not Vastorode....he has powers greater than menos and stuff but still far inferior to Uruquiola (obviously a vastorode)

lol nice comparison [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]Originally posted by: basey44
ahh hehe i get it now, i was thinking something more powerful than the nappa vegeta guys
now what i'm more interested in is how the story will develop from here, SS is taking action, no doubt abt that...
What are aizen's motives? conquer the dead world and subsequently control the living one??? that's two worlds in a certain sense... i mean now that aizen's becomed the supreme leader of the hollow world, are we going to get a hollow society? (yes i know it sounds lame)
Who and what are the visards? imao, they are like you dark jedi or rather, if you would put it dark templar like in starcraft, and what are their motives? (other than ichigo...)
and most importantly, what the hell is urahara planning and what he's gonna do!!!???
it seems like there are 5 major players now:
1) the SS as usual
2) the hollows under aizen's leadership
3) the visards (who are prob more powerful than shinigami)
4) the urahara team!!! (does that include ichigo's father?)
5) the quincies! (whose role i have never been able to figure out)
now i wonder if urahara would patch with SS and cooperate with them, though he prob wouldn't return to SS...
Though i would like to see more action from ichigo's father, and that may prob lead to the answer why ichigo has so much spiritual power...
i wonder if ichigo's huge spiritual pressure has anyhitng to do with urahara's funky element.
he seems to have known ichigo's dad for quite some time, probably since he left SS. maybe he put the element inside ichigo for safe keeping, kinda like he did with rukia. only with rukia it would've made her human, whereas with ichigo it would just be a safe place. any thoughts?
no, grandfisher was an ajuukaru. yami and uruquiola are vastoorodes, uruquiola is just stronger.Originally posted by: Zhan

grandfisher (menos grande) was a Gilian, not ajukaru. As said by Hitsugaya the grandfisher was what you would consider a peon in an army. Ajukaru is a lot more intelligent and stronger and had a smaller physical size, thus making Yami an ajukaru, isn't that right?Originally posted by: mage

grand fisher isnt a menos grande, he even said "don't compare me to those menos peons." hitsugaya said nothing about grand fisher, either, so i have no clue what you're talking about.
let me spell it out for the third time:
gilian -> menos grande (what ichigo fought way back when)
ajuukaru -> grand fisher that ichigo's father killed (not a menos grande)
vastoorode -> uruquiola and yami are all that's left. since they don't look like a menos and are normal human size unlike grand fisher, it can only be concluded that they are both vastoorodes.
that's food for thought...Originally posted by: Assassin

well urahara did invent the hyogoku thingy, the way aizen put it, it seems like it was urahara's ultimate invention, so powerful that urahara himself was afraid to use it... now given urahara's genius, i won't be surprised if he made another one, or something as powerful in order to counter it... (heck, urahara could have MADE ichigo as the counter for the hyogoku......)
ichigo's dad's is definitely captain level, the question is, is he an official cpt that resigned, or was a special human cpt or something like what ichigo is, a special shinigami. but looking from the shinigami outfit of ichigo's dad, notice that he has that armband that all vice-cpts have? could it be that he was once urahara's vice-cpt???
on the other hand, he has a cape like the other cpts too... (though i don't see a number printed behind)
P.S. - i think aizen looks better with glasses [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Oh okay then I thought grandfisher was another way of saying menos grande, didn't know that was actually his name my bad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I think he was born with great spirit powers, since Ishin is a captain, too. But he got the hollow when rukia gave him her powers
no, he wouldve had a huge dormant power from his dad or watever which was shown in the 1st ep when he broke rukias spell, the hollow bit came when he developed his own powers with uruhara
A couple comments ...
I think the process that awakened Ichigo to his Shinigami powers also broke the wall between shinigami and hollow for him, making him both at the same time. We saw his hollow-side peeking out from time to time, whenever Ichigo proved too weak to do something by himself. We also know that his hollow-side is a drastically better (more creative, more brutal, more powerful overall) fighter than the shinigami (or just normal) side.
Urahara was probably betting on Ichigo waking up to his shinigami powers at just the right time, and thus ending up both. Either that, or just severing the chain guaranteed some sort of mixed result, as it'd get the hollowfication process (yey! made-up words) started. Although it was riskier than just being a shinigami, the payoff if it worked would be immense. And if not, well ... no point in worrying about what happens if not. Urahara's a crazy bastard like that. Not to mention, what other way IS there to get someone's soul to jump out of his body and pull out a sword?
Grand Fisher was no menos class hollow. He was an ordinary hollow, albeit a sneaky bastard of one. Maybe consider him in the "huge hollow" category, but probably not even that, he was just strong and crafty. When he unmasked, he got arrogant, and challenged a guy who was CLEARLY captain class. He was stronger than your average shinigami (ie: would have owned Rukia), but he was certainly no captain class beast, even unmasked. Hell, Ichigo was able to fight him to a stalemate when he was below even Renji's restricted mode. The only thing that would put him above an ordinary Menos before the whole unmasking would be his intelligence and agility, but that wouldn't even really do it... a Menos using that big menos-flash attack would still probably outpower him.
Something to be aware of is that the whole "Menos" heirarchy is designed for strictly hollows. By unmasking, you go beyond that. Meaning, an unmasked Gilian wouldn't necessarily be a Gilian anymore, but probably wouldn't be higher either. Similarly, Vastrodes are simply extremely rare, uber-powerful menos-class hollows in and of themselves. And they're more powerful than a captain.
The unmasking process (or, rather, the process of shinigami-hollow fusion) has the potential to produce much higher level fighters, given appropriate combat experience and training. Just like Ichigo should be virtually unlimited, by nature of being both hollow and shinigami in a somewhat stable mix, the Vastrodes should have virtually no limit to how powerful they can be when unmasked.
My prediction is that Ichigo's going to have to come to terms with the hollow inside of him, to essentially fuse personalities with the destroyer and get it under control, in order to be on the level of the unmasked Vastrodes.
Finally, while Ulquiola is probably an unmasked Vastrode class, Yami was definitely not. Ulquiola seems pretty confident both that Yami will get himself slaughtered fighting either one of the two legendary captains, and that he could still put up a pretty good fight even without Yami's presence. He gives himself decent, but not excellent odds of winning given the situation, and decides it's not worthwhile. I think Yami was just along for the ride, which would also explain why he's so incredibly huge, and why he doesn't pick up on it when he's clearly drastically overmatched. I like to think of Yami as the equivalent of a vice-captain to Ulquiola... in this case someone he can use to gauge his opponents without getting himself directly entangled.
When we are talking about "who is how strong"...i wonder how strong Urahara and Yuruichi are, both of the hollows didnt have a chance against them. Are they as strong as Aizen? Too bad we only saw them fighting once
they're both vastoroode. the immature ones would be ajuukaru, yami and uruquiola are vastroodes but if you read, hitsuyaga said if 10 of them came to soul society (since there are only 10 captains left) soul society would be screwed as in i'm guessing they're strength would be on par (or greater) than that of a captain (with a sick captain and all) but i'm guessing some captains would be able tot ake on vastroodoes (yes i know i've spelt this word 3 different ways already) but you neglect to remember that urahara and yoruichi are "captain level" which means they should be able tot ake on the vastroodoe on par, PLUS it was a 2v1 so yami could've been a vastroorode its just against 2 captains he would lose anyway. but this would mean that aizen probably has like 22 vastroorode and yami+uruquiola would probably be stronger than the rest because he sent them on the mission, if he sent a weaker one urahara would've killed it.Originally posted by: Prof. Chaos

LaZie made this...a long time ago.
"It was a very depressing time in my life, since I had no money I was unable to screw the rules" -Kaiba
the M7 translation's out, if anyone's interested.
yes yes, very interesting chapter. Man Aizen looks so evil in his pic on the last page. I do think that Ichi's dad was Urahara's vice captain. I think Urahara is strong since he did manage to get bankai in 3 days like ichigo did. I still wonder what his bankai is. If Ura can defeat Yamii like that in the real world where spirit pressure is lower, I wonder how strong ura is in soul society. Ura is definatly my fave char now and Aizen is the a cool bad guy but not as cool as others from other manga's.
I don't care who I have to fight!
If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death!
If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death!
If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death!
And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave!
the result should be the same though, if urahara's spirit pressure is lower, then yami's should be too.

it was said captains and vice captains suppress their spirit energy in order to not disturb the earth, i'm sure yami doesn't care about anything like that.
Isshin will just bounce in and own everyone. Aizen, Allankanar, Vizards, ect will be owned.
Gaining the bankai in 3 days is by no means a measure of power. Granted not everyone can do it... But just because they managed to do this method doesn't automatically make them stronger than some of the other strong captains that took years to get their bankai using the long way...Originally posted by: Konohamaru

Just because you used a shortcut to get to your destination doesn't make you any faster than the other person that reached the destination through the long way...
