Hollows

This is a list of characters in the anime and manga series Bleach who
are hollows (虚（ホロウ）, horō?). Hollows are the central antagonists of the
series. Series creator Tite Kubo uses many Spanish motifs in regards to
hollows and their variants.

Hollows are departed human souls
that have not been sent to Soul Society in due time, leading to their
corruption. Once corrupted, they gain a skull-like mask, a drastically
different physical appearance, and a very animalistic level of
intelligence. Hollows begin to crave other human souls, living or dead,
and scour the human world in their search for sustenance. They will
continue this search until they are killed by a Soul Reaper, at which
point their souls are purified and they are allowed to pass on to Soul
Society.

In rare cases, a hollow will lose its taste for human
souls and instead starts eating other hollows. In doing so, the hollow
gains all the power of the consumed, allowing them to evolve into
stronger and more intelligent forms known as menos (メノス, menosu?,
Spanish for "minus" or "less"). Within the menos, there are three
levels of power. Gillian (最下大虚（ギリアン）, girian?, Japanese for "least of
the great hollows") are the weakest type, and usually have no
individuality. Should a gillian retain its consciousness, it can evolve
into an intelligent and variable hollow called an adjuchas
(中級大虚（アジューカス）, ajūkasu?, Japanese for "intermediate great hollow").
From there, it can become a vasto lorde (最上大虚（ヴァストローデ）, vasuto rōde?,
Japanese for "highest of the great hollows"), a hollow so powerful that
just ten would be capable of overwhelming Soul Society. As hollows
evolve they gain access to unique skills and abilities, fueled by the
souls they have consumed. The most basic of these abilities is Cero
(虚閃（セロ）, Sero?, Japanese for "hollow flash," Spanish for "zero",
labeled as "Doom Blast" in the Viz manga), a high-powered energy blasts
that can be fired from various body parts, such as the mouth or hand.
Enhanced speed and a resistance to damage are also common of evolved
hollows.

Hollows

Almost all antagonists
in Bleach are, by definition, categorized as hollows. The following are
those hollows that have not attained the further classification of
arrancar. Many of the hollows shown in the series have few, if any,
speaking lines and are killed shortly after their introduction.

Bawabawa

Bawabawa
(バワバワ, Bawabawa?) is a giant, eel-like hollow whose mask consists of a
simple plate on his head with a pair of horns. He acts as both pet and
transportation for Nel Tu and her companions. Bawabawa tends to get
upset for not being included in the group's super sentai-styled
introduction sequences. It is initially explained that Bawabawa can't
survive without sand, which is why he can't accompany Nel into Las
Noches. Dondochakka later reveals that Bawabawa is stored inside his
stomach along with other combat-based insects. Despite his fearsome
appearance, Bawabawa is actually rather emotional and not evil.


Arrancar

Arrancar
(アランカル, arankaru?, Spanish for "to rip off") are hollows that have had
their masks removed and have gained the powers of a Soul Reaper. They
gain much more humanoid appearances in the process, as well as strength
and intelligence beyond the level of a simple hollow. Arrancar become
major antagonists during the second half of the series as they start
being led by Sōsuke Aizen. According to Tite Kubo, many of the arrancar
are named after real life architects and designers

Like Soul
Reapers, arrancar possess zanpakutō (斬魄刀, zanpakutō? lit. soul-cutting
sword). Unlike Soul Reapers, whose zanpakutō are manifestations of
their owner's soul, arrancar's zanpakutō are manifestations of their
former hollow selves. With occasional exceptions, an arrancar's
zanpakutō resembles a regular sword in its unsealed state. When
released through a process called resurrección (帰刃（レスレクシオン）,
resurekushion?, Japanese for "returning blade," Spanish for
"resurrection"), part of their original hollow form is restored,
changing their appearance, giving them greater strength, and granting
them access to their original abilities.

Espada

The
Espada (十刃（エスパーダ）, Esupāda?, Japanese for "ten blades," Spanish for
"sword") are the ten strongest arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army. They
are ranked in order of their strength. The members are listed according
to their known rank. The first three hold the top three ranks although
their specific ranks haven't been revealed.

Stark

* Voiced by: Rikiya Koyama

Stark
(スターク, Sutāku?) 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. Lilinette (リリネット, Ririnetto?), his young
female Fracción, typically shows the concern that Stark does not. When
he is shown to be serious, however, his personality changes completely;
he comes off as reluctant but nonetheless willing to do what needs to
be done to complete the task at hand. The remains of Stark's 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. While
his combat abilities have not been shown, he is at the least very fast,
as he manages to kidnap Orihime Inoue while Kenpachi Zaraki and Ichigo
Kurosaki are only a few feet away.

Halibel

* Voiced by: Megumi Ogata

Halibel
(ハリベル, Hariberu?) is the only current female Espada. She is very calm
and rarely speaks, and when she does it's fairly serious, such as when
she tells her three female Fracción Apache (アパッチ, Apacchi?), Mila Rose
(ミラ・ローズ, Mira Rōzu?), and Sun-Sun (スンスン, Sunsun?) that being afraid of
an Espada's released form is a natural reaction. The remnants of
Halibel's 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.
She carries her zanpakutō on her back; the sword itself is notably
broad and short compared to those of other Espada.

Barragan

* Voiced by: Shōzō Iizuka

Barragan
(バラガン, Baragan?) is a stout, older, and grumpy arrancar. The remnant of
his mask takes the form of a five-pointed crown. He bears large visible
scars on the left side of his chin and across his right eye, and wears
a large rope-like sash with a sun-crested buckler attached to it in
addition to the regular obi sash. He appears to hold himself in a
higher regard to that of the other Espada, or at the very least thinks
somewhat highly of himself, as he begins giving orders from a
skull-adorned throne once Aizen is trapped and tells Halibel "not to
underestimate him." He has five Fracción: Charlotte Cuuhlhourne,
Abirama Redder, Findol Carias, Pō, and one who has yet to be named.

Neliel Tu Oderschvank

* Voiced by: Tomoko Kaneda

Neliel
Tu Oderschvank (ネリエル・トゥ・オーデルシュヴァンク, Nerieru Tu Ōderushuvanku?),
commonly known as Nel Tu (ネル・トゥ, Neru Tu?),[5] 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 and her
companions believe Soul Reapers, not hollows, to be evil, and as such
are afraid of them. In spite of this, she develops an attachment to
Ichigo Kurosaki and starts following him around after her introduction.
She is a self-proclaimed masochist. Nel's true form is that of a
fully-grown woman, her mask appearing less cartoonish with a pair of
curved horns. A large "3" tattooed on her back indicates that she was
previously the third Espada. Nnoitra Jiruga snuck up on and attacked
Nel in the past, causing her to turn into her child-form, giving her
amnesia, and allowing him to expel her from the Espada. When Nel runs
into Nnoitra years later and he begins to torture Ichigo, she turns
into her adult form with her memories restored. She retains her
affection for Ichigo, as she hugs him without realizing that her
strength is causing him personal injury. As she is about to defeat
Nnoitra, Nel reverts back to her child form, with no apparent memory of
what had just occurred.

In her child-state, Nel's vomit (which
she believes to be saliva) acts as a powerful healing agent. In both
her child and adult form, she can swallow cero attacks and fire them
back. In her adult form, she can also add her own cero to this blast,
doubling its power. Nel's zanpakutō, which manifests when she
transforms, is named Gamuza (羚騎士（ガミューサ）, Gamyūsa?, Spanish for
"chamois," Japanese for "antelope knight"). Its release command is
"declare" (謳え, utae?). Her released form is that of a ibex-like 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 (Spanish for "green lancer"), 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

* Voiced by: Daisuke Namikawa

Ulquiorra
Schiffer (ウルキオラ・シファー, Urukiora Shifā?) is the fourth Espada, signified
by the "4" tattooed to his chest. His name stems from that of a
furniture designer named Patricia Urquiola. He has a largely stoic
appearance, rarely even changing his facial expression, and does not
allow the actions of others to impede the tasks set to him by Sōsuke
Aizen. He will attack his comrades to get them to pay attention to him,
and deems anyone he does not find of particular interest to be "trash"
and therefore expendable. The remainder of Ulquiorra's hollow mask lies
on top of his head, forming a broken helmet. His hollow hole has moved
since his first appearance; when first introduced it is at the base of
his neck, but in later appearances it has been moved onto his chest.

Though
Ulquiorra has yet to fight with his full power, he has displayed a
number of unique tendencies. He usually keeps his hands in his pockets
when in a combat situation, only bringing them out to deflect attacks.
Grimmjow Jeagerjaques notes that he tends to stab opponents in the
chest, the same location as his hollow hole, whenever he is
particularly interested in a battle, though it is unclear if Ulquiorra
is conscious of this habit. He is very analytical; he almost accurately
theorizes the means behind Orihime Inoue's abilities, and recognizes
that Ichigo Kurosaki's power constantly fluctuates between weaker and
stronger than his own. He also seems to refrain from killing a person
unless necessary, twice sparing Ichigo and proclaiming he would not
harm Orihime because he had not been ordered to. He can replay events
he has seen to others by removing and crushing his left eye, which then
turns into dust and flows around those Ulquiorra is relaying
information to. Ulquiorra fights under the philosophy that his eye
observes everything. What it cannot see, does not exist. The name and
released state of Ulquiorra's zanpakutō have not been revealed. Aizen
leaves Ulquiorra command over Las Noches when he invades the false
Karakura Town.

Nnoitra Jiruga

* Voiced by: Nobutoshi Canna

Nnoitra Jiruga (ノイトラ・ジルガ, Noitora Jiruga?) is the fifth Espada, signified by
the "5" tattooed to his tongue. He wears a large eye-patch that
covers most of the left side of his face, as well as the remnants of his hollow
mask (a small set of jawbones and teeth) and his hollow hole. He is very rude
and lecherous, and firmly believes in male chauvinism. Nnoitra hates the idea
of a woman being stronger than or outranking a man, and longs to give any woman
in such a position their "deserved" inferior rank. This mindset led
to his attack on Nel Tu, who frequently defeated him in battle though never
killed him. He gave her amnesia and kicked her from the Espada, hoping to be
stronger by the time they met again. Nnoitra longs to be able to prove his
strength as the strongest Espada, and takes advantage of any weakness to
achieve this end; however, he generally does not bother attacking opponents who
appear unconscious or incapacitated. He does this so that he can experience the
artificial high of near death experiences more often; saying the only time he
feels alive is when he's gurgling on his own blood.

Having the self-proclaimed toughest skin of any Espada, Nnoitra can deflect
powerful attacks without any sign of injury. He also has the ability to track
and measure sources of spiritual power by touching his fingertip to the ground.
His zanpakutō, Santa Teresa (聖哭螳螂（サンタテレサ), Santa Teresa? Spanish alternative
name for Mantis religiosa, Japanese for "sacred crying mantis"),
takes the form of a giant ax-like weapon bearing two crescent moon blades fused
together at their backs. Its release command is "pray" (祈れ, inore?).
When released, Nnoitra gains two additional sets of arms, and each of his hands
gains an identical scythe-like weapon. He grows a pair of horns on his head,
one longer on one side than the other, mimicking the crescent shape of his
sealed zanpakutō. Nnoitra's wounds heal almost instantly in his released state,
and he can also regenerate severed limbs.

Nnoitra is drawn to the site of the battle between Ichigo Kurosaki once the
latter has defeated Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. While he tortures the exhausted
Ichigo, his companion Nel Tu overcomes her amnesia and attacks Nnoitra to
protect Ichigo. Though she almost defeats him yet again, her amnesia kicks back
in and she is left at his mercy. Kenpachi Zaraki soon arrives to help them, and
he and Nnoitra 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. Nnoitra, however, is eventually no longer able to endure
Zaraki's attacks and dies what he believes to be a "warrior's death;"
his life ends in a split second before his body hits the floor in recoil from
Zaraki's blow.

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques

* Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques (グリムジョー・ジャガージャック, Gurimujō Jagājakku?) is the sixth
Espada, signified by the "6" tattooed to his back. His name stems
from that of an architect named Nicholas Grimshaw. Grimmjow is very
disrespectful, never using honorifics and having little respect for authority
figures. He is often openly insulting to such people save for Sōsuke Aizen,
though this is strictly out of fear and returns to his usual attitude when
Aizen is out of earshot. Grimmjow has an overly violent lust for battle, always
seeking out the strongest opponent in a given area. He is confident in his
abilities, believing himself to be equal, or even stronger than the fourth
Espada, Ulquiorra Schiffer. Though he shows little regard for his allies or
anyone who would get in his way, Grimmjow has some sense of honor; he rescues
Orihime from two arrancar torturing her in return for healing his arm, and
first has Ichigo's wounds healed before their final rematch. Grimmjow hates
being looked down on, becoming infuriated beyond consolation when he feels that
someone does so and has stated that he will readily crush anyone who looks down
on him be it friend or foe. The remains of his hollow mask consist of the right
jawbone, and his hollow hole is located on his abdomen.

Before becoming an arrancar, Grimmjow was a panther-like adjuchas-class menos
who wandered Hueco Mundo. He eventually met and led a group of other hollows in
their mutual quest for power. As time passed and Grimmjow became the only one
who grew stronger, he ate pieces of the others' flesh so that their evolution
would not regress and so he could become even stronger. These hollows later
became his fracciòn. When his zanpakutō, Pantera (豹王（パンテラ）, Pantera? Spanish
for "panther," Japanese for "panther king") is released
with the command "grind" (軋れ, kishire?), he regains some of his
former panther appearance. He takes on more animal-like features such as jagged
teeth, feline ears, clawed hands, and a tail that can be used as a powerful
whip. This state augments his speed drastically and gives him animal-like
agility and movements to match. His roar can create shockwaves in the air, and
he can also fire a large number of "darts" from his elbows and create
energy claws called Desgarrón (豹王の爪（デスガロン）, Spanish for "laceration,"
Japanese for "panther king's claw"?) from his fingertips.

Luppi

* Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio

Luppi (ルピ, Rupi?) temporarily replaces Grimmjow Jeagerjaques as the sixth
Espada, signified by the "6" tattooed to his right hip. He has a
youthful and feminine appearance, and tends to be rather demeaning to opponents
or those of lower ranks. The remains of his hollow mask (a top row of teeth)
rests on the left side of his head. Luppi's zanpakutō, Trepadora (蔦嬢（トレパドーラ）,
Torepadōra?, Spanish for "climber," Japanese for "ivy
girl"), is released with the command "strangle" (縊れ, kubire?).
In his released state eight tendrils sprout from a carapace mounted on Luppi's
back, which he can control independently to combat a group. The tentacles can
also grow spikes to cause additional damage. After Grimmjow's arm is restored,
the reason for his demotion, he promptly kills Luppi to regain his rank.


Zommari Leroux

* Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki

Zommari Leroux (ゾマリ・ルルー, Zomari Rurū?) is the seventh Espada. He is a quiet,
reverent figure that praises Sōsuke Aizen and despises Soul Reapers for
arbitrarily judging hollows. The remnants of his hollow mask take the form of a
necklace made out of teeth and a ridge of spikes running down the center of his
forehead. Zommari has the self-proclaimed fastest sonído among the Espada,
referred to as Gemelos Sonído (双児響転 (ヘメロス・ソニード) , Hemerosu Sonīdo?, Spanish for
"twins sound"). He can leave up to five afterimages in his stead when
using it. His zanpakutō, Brujería (呪眼僧伽（ブルヘリア）, Buruheria?, Spanish for
"witchcraft," Japanese for "sangha of bewitching eyes"), is
released with the command "suppress" (鎮まれ, shizumare?). In his
released state he gains a total of fifty eyes, each of which can be used to
gain complete control of whatever they look upon; this technique is called Amor
(愛 (アモル) , Amor?, Spanish for "Love"). His legs are also replaced by
a pumpkin-like structure that he can hide within as a defensive measure. When
Zommari tries to avenge Aaroniero Arruruerie's death by killing Rukia Kuchiki,
he is stopped and killed by her brother, Byakuya Kuchiki.

Szayel Aporro Grantz

* Voiced by: Kōsuke Toriumi

Szayel Aporro Grantz (ザエルアポロ・グランツ, Zaeruaporo Gurantsu?) is the eighth Espada.
He is an intellectual and the scientist of the Espada, thinking highly of
himself and following his plans down to the finest detail. He is quite sadistic
and views others as little more than research material. He thinks poorly of
non-hollows, and hopes that Sōsuke 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. 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 group of subordiantes. He has
personally modified each so that he can heal his wounds by eating them. Those
so devoured can be recreated later. The remains of his hollow mask take the
form of rectangular-framed glasses.

Szayel's zanpakutō, Fornicarás (邪淫妃（フォルニカラス）, Forunikarasu?, Spanish for
"You will fornicate," Japanese for "Lewd concubine"), is
released with the command "sip" (啜れ, susure?). In his released state,
Szayel grows a pair of wings, his lower body transforms into a flock of long
tentacles, and a blood-like liquid drips from all over his body. If one of
these droplets comes into contact with an opponent a doppelganger of them is
created that Szayel can control to use their abilities against them. By
wrapping an opponent in his wings, Szayel can create voodoo dolls of them. Any
damage done to the dolls' internal organs 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.
The last of his many abilities 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 engages Renji Abarai and Uryū 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. After Mayuri kills him Szayel reconstitutes himself inside
of Nemu Kurotsuchi, ingesting a large dosage of poison stored in Nemu's body in
the process. This poison greatly increases his reaction time 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

* Voiced by: Toshihiko Seki

Aaroniero Arruruerie (アーロニーロ・アルルエリ, Āronīro Arurueri?) is the ninth Espada,
signified by the "9" tattooed to his two faces. 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 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 appears to have a level of individuality. He is the last
of the first-generation Espada. Aaroniero possesses 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 is unique in that he can absorb other hollows in their entirety, not
only giving him their 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. The weakness
of this power is sunlight, which nullifies it on contact and reveals
Aaroniero's true form. Aaroniero's zanpakutō, Glotonería (喰虚（グロトネリア）,
Gurotoneria?, Spanish for "gluttony," Japanese for "eating
hollow"), is released with the command "devour" (喰い尽くせ,
kuitsukuse?). It is unclear what its sealed form is, but Aaroniero seems to
imply that it is a deformed tentacle-ridden appendage that replaces his left
arm. In his released state the lower half of his body turns 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.

Yammy

* Voiced by: Kenji Nomura

Yammy (ヤミー, Yamī?) is the tenth Espada, signified by the "10"
tattooed to his left shoulder. What remains of his hollow mask is the jawbone,
which rests on his chin. He is the largest, but not the brightest, of the
Espada, as he relies upon Ulquiorra Schiffer to explain things and give him
orders while in battle. Yammy relies primarily on his brute strength and cero
blasts in battle, taking little interest in using his sword until he is
overpowered. Aside from his fighting abilities, Yammy can suck the souls from
living humans en masse using gonzui (魂吸（ゴンズイ）, gonzui? Japanese for "soul
breath"). It affects a wide area, but any individual with even slight
spiritual power is able to resist it to some degree.

Privaron Espada

The Privaron Espada (十刃落ち（プリバロン・エスパーダ）, Puribaron Esupāda?, Japanese for
"ten fallen blades," Spanish for "deprived sword") were
once Espada, though after Aizen acquired the Hōgyoku they were demoted in favor
of his own artificially-created arrancar.

Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio

* Voiced by: Kōji Ishii

Dordonii Alessandro Del Socacchio (ドルドーニ・アレッサンドロ・デル・ソカッチオ, Dorudōni Aressandoro
Deru Sokacchio?) is more goofy when compared to other Espada, being similar to
Don Kanonji. He is much more serious in battle, however. During his battle with
Ichigo Kurosaki, Dordonii tries to goad Ichigo into using his bankai and hollow
mask, hoping to earn his former position 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 zanpakutō, Giralda (暴風男爵（ヒラルダ）,
Hiraruda?, referring to Giralda, Japanese for "storm baron"), is
released with the command "whirl" (旋れ, maware?). In his released
state, Dordonii grows armor that starts at his feet, wraps around his calves,
and juts out at his waist with two more spikes. 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


Cirucci Thunderwitch

* Voiced by: Hōko Kuwashima

Cirucci Thunderwitch (チルッチ・サンダーウィッチ, Chiruchi Sandāwicchi?) has an unusual
sense of style; 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. 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 fashion, as she does to Uryū Ishida. Once Uryū
defeats her, she is implied to have been killed by the Exequias. Cirucci's
zanpakutō, Golondrina (車輪鉄燕（ゴロンドリーナ）, Gorondorīna?, Spanish for
"wanderer", Japanese for "wheeled steel swallow"), takes
the form of a whip with a large, spinning, Yo-Yo like disk looped into it. When
released with the command "rip off" (掻っ切れ, kakkire?), Cirucci sprouts
large wings with ten moon-shaped blades in place of feathers. These blades
vibrate at a high frequency, making an audible humming noise in the anime.
Cirucci can remove these blades and fire them through the air or summon them
back at her own will. Her arms also become long and she gains sharp claws on
each hand, and she forms a long, thick tail. Her released state rapidly
consumes her spiritual energy, but she can get around this problem by ripping
off her wings and long claws, instead fighting with an energy blade at the tip
of her tail.

Gantenbainne Mosqueda

* Voiced by: Masato Funaki

Gantenbainne Mosqueda (ガンテンバイン・モスケーダ, Gantenbain Mosukēda?) has an afro-style
haircut with thick sideburns and a goatee. The remains of his hollow mask are a
sunglasses-shaped plate on his forehead with four teeth coming out above each
eye. After he is defeated by Yasutora Sado, Gantenbainne is spared in thanks
for fighting with all of his strength. As Chad leaves, Gantenbainne warns him
of an approaching Nnoitra Jiruga who easily silences him with one hit. After Chad is also
defeated, both he and Gantenbainne are found by the Exequias. Retsu Unohana
intervenes before they can be killed and heals their wounds. Gantenbainne's
zanpakutō, Dragra (龍拳（ドラグラ）, Doragura?, Japanese for "dragon fist"),
takes the form of a pair of two-pronged punching daggers attached to
Gantenbainne's wrists by hinges. In its released state, 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. He pulls his mask fragment over his eyes at certain points in
combat. 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. Dragra does not appear to have a
release command; Gantenbainne simply releases it by saying its name.

Other

The following are those arrancar that have never received a position as an
Espada. Most are Números (数字持ち（ヌメロス）, Numerosu?, Japanese for "number
holders," Spanish for "numbers"), foot soldiers sent to do
Aizen's bidding or to fight alongside the Espada. Others are Fracción (従属官（フラシオン）,
Furashion?, Japanese for "subordinate officers," Spanish for
"fraction"), subordinates that directly serve a specific Espada.

Grand Fisher

* Voiced by: Chafūrin (Japanese), Paul St. Peter (English)

Grand Fisher (グランドフィッシャー, Gurando Fisshā?) is, when first introduced, a hollow
that has evaded the Soul Reapers for over fifty years. During this timeframe he
killed Masaki Kurosaki in her efforts to protect her son, Ichigo Kurosaki.
Grand Fisher's hollow form resembles that of a giant hamster with bird-like
hands and feet. A "lure" (similar to those of angler fish) hangs from
his forehead, which can take the form of anyone he wishes. He typically uses
this ability to lure spiritually aware people into his grasp, making them easy
meals (hence his name). In battle the lure can be used to take the form of
someone close to the opponent, keeping them from attacking him. After Ichigo is
able to defeat Grand Fisher in battle he is converted into an imperfect
arrancar, giving his hollow-form a more humanoid appearance. He carries a large
zanpakutō on his back, which when released transforms him into a huge,
monstrous creature with bull-like horns. When he tries to use this form to have
a rematch with Ichigo, he is killed by Ichigo's father, Isshin Kurosaki.


Rudobōn

* Voiced by: Taro Yamaguchi

Rudobōn (ルドボーン, Rudobōn?) is the leader of the Exequias (葬討部隊（エクセキアス）,
Ekusekiasu?, Japanese for "funerary attacking force," Spanish for
"funeral rites"), a group responsible for dealing with rebels and
intruders in Las Noches. Unlike most arrancar, his face is hidden. He carries a
zanpakutō, but its name and released state have not been revealed. He and his
subordinates clean up after each battle, collecting data for Szayel Aporro
Grantz before killing any survivors: they kill two of the three Privaron Espada
off screen for failing to beat their opponents, and prepare to do the same with
the third before being stopped by Retsu Unohana. Surprised by the arrival of a
Soul Reaper captain, Rudobōn and the rest of the Exequias withdraw in order to
avoid conflict. Later he and the rest of the Exequias attempt to bar the
progress of Ichigo, but they are intercepted by attacks from Ichigo's comrades.


Shawlong Qufang

* Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka

Shawlong Qufang (シャウロン・クーファン, Shauron Kūfan?) is an intellectual, or at least
an analyst, able to confidently state the nature of his opponent's powers. What
remains of his mask is on the top of his head, but a portion drops down
covering part of his face. Before becoming arrancar, Shawlong was a member of a
group led by Grimmjow Jeagerjaques that scoured Hueco Mundo in search of power.
When Grimmjow eventually became the only one who continued to gain strength,
Shawlong and the others offered themselves to Grimmjow so he would get stronger
and so they would not regress. They worked for Grimmjow once he became an
Espada, and in his service Shawlong is killed by Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Shawlong's
zanpakutō, Tijereta (五鋏蟲（ティヘレタ）, Tihereta?, Spanish for "earwig,"
Japanese for "five-pincered insect"), is released with the command
"snip" (裁て, tate?). When released, Shawlong grows armor covering his
arms and upper chest with his hands transforming into long claws, his mask extends
down to cover the left side of his face and his queue becomes a tail with
claws

Edorad Leones

* Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki

Edorad Leones
(エドラド・リオネス, Edorado Rionesu?) has a high amount of pride as an arrancar, as he
is ashamed to draw his zanpakutō against an enemy. The remains of his hollow
mask are merely the eye holes, which rest on his nose, and it essentially looks
as if he wears unusual glasses. Despite his large, brutish appearance, he is a
skilled tactician; he recognizes that Ikkaku Madarame fights him for sport,
something he personally despises. Before becoming arrancar, Edorad and Shawlong
Koufang were members of a group led by Grimmjow Jeagerjaques that scoured Hueco
Mundo in search of power. They worked for Grimmjow once he became an Espada,
and in his service Edorad is killed by Ikkaku. Edorad's zanpakutō, Volcánica (火山獣（ボルカニカ）,
Borukanika?, Spanish for "volcanic," Japanese for "volcanic
beast"), is released with the command "erupt" (起きろ/熾きろ, okiro?).
When Volcanica is released, his mask disappears and his arms are covered in
what looks like volcanic rock, becoming much longer and wider in the process.
An exhaust spout is located on each shoulder. He is able to shoot fire from his
fists in this form.

Ilforte Grantz

* Voiced by: Kōichi Tōchika

Ilforte Grantz (イールフォルト・グランツ, Īruforuto Gurantsu?) is the sarcastic, effeminate
older brother of Szayel Aporro Grantz. What remains of his hollow mask is on
the top of his head, and looks like a broken helmet. Before becoming arrancar,
Ilforte and Shawlong Koufang were members of a group led by Grimmjow
Jeagerjaques that scoured Hueco Mundo in search of power. They worked for
Grimmjow once he became an Espada, and in his service Ilforte is killed by
Renji Abarai. Ilforte's zanpakutō, Del Toro (蒼角王子（デルトロ）, Derutoro?, Spanish for
"of the bull," Japanese for "pale-horned prince"), is
released with the command "skewer" (突き砕け, tsukikudake?). When Del
Toro is released, Ilforte's upper body enlarges and is covered in bull-like
armor, while his mask seems to completely regenerate, giving him horns. In this
form, he walks on four legs and uses his horns to skewer opponents.


D-Roy

* Voiced by: Takashi Kondō

D-Roy (ディ・ロイ, Di Roi?) is the weakest of his group of arrancar. This has been
the case since his days as a hollow, wherein part of his mask was eaten by
Grimmjow Jeagerjaques and his growth was brought to an end. His hollow mask
remains are bulky and similar in shape to a hammerhead shark. The right-hand
side of his mask is wrapped in bandages, which obscures his right eye and cover
the damage he received from Grimmjow. Despite his history with Grimmjow, D-Roy
worked for him when he became an Espada and in his service is killed by Rukia
Kuchiki. He dies before he has a chance to release his zanpakutō.

Nakim

* Voiced by: Taketora

Nakim (ナキーム, Nakīmu?) is a fat, silent arrancar, his only significant speech
being an answer to a question shortly before his death. The remains of his
hollow mask cover the entire right side of his face. Before becoming arrancar,
Nakim and Shawlong Koufang were members of a group led by Grimmjow Jeagerjaques
that scoured Hueco Mundo in search of power. They worked for Grimmjow once he
became an Espada, and in his service Nakim is killed by Rangiku Matsumoto. Very
little of his battle is seen; at one point he is shown to have grown large
enough to crush Matsumoto under his foot, though it is unclear if this was an
effect of his zanpakutō.

Wonderweiss Margera

* Voiced by: Hisayoshi Suganuma

Wonderweiss Margera (ワンダーワイス・マルジェラ, Wandāwaisu Marujera?) is an Espada-level
arrancar. Wonderweiss is small, thin, and somewhat child-like. What is left of
his hollow mask remains on top of his head, and resembles a tiara or small
crown. Wonderweiss's personality is also child-like and even autistic; when
sent on a mission to kill, he instead plays around with a dragonfly. He shows
some hostility during this instance, firing a retaliatory energy blast at one
point, but quickly reverts back to his regular state after doing so. He isn't
able to speak clearly, only saying a few syllables at a time. Kaname Tōsen says
that Wonderweiss, like himself, is a pure being (though he makes a point of
wondering whether he is pure good or evil). He follows Tōsen everywhere when
possible and is hostile to what he perceives as Tōsen's enemies The name and
released state of Wonderweiss's zanpakutō have not been revealed.


Pesche Guatiche

* Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu

Pesche Guatiche (ペッシェ・ガティーシェ, Pesshe Gatīshe?) is a fairly harmless, humanoid
arrancar whose body is covered in a sort of light armor, complete with a mask
resembling an insectoid head with a large pair of mandibles. His hollow hole is
positioned near his stomach. He was once Nel Tu's Fracción, but after his mask
fragment was forcefully removed by Nnoitra Jiruga and Nel received amnesia, he
accompanied her around Hueco Mundo to keep her safe. Years later, when Nel
accompanies a group of humans, Pesche follows her into Las Noches. He starts
following Uryū Ishida, having mistaken him for Ichigo Kurosaki, which upsets
him because Uryū's appearance leads him to believe that he is the weakest of
the group. Pesche possesses an ability he calls "Infinite Slick" (無限の滑走（インフィナイト・スリック）,
Infinaito Surikku?), in which he sprays his saliva at an object, severely reducing
its friction. Contrary to its name, it is of limited supply, "Finite
Slick" having been an uninteresting name. He carries an energy sword he
calls Ultima (究極（ウルティマ）, Urutima?, Spanish for "final," Japanese for
"ultimate") inside his loincloth, but it is unclear if it is his
zanpakutō.


Dondochakka Bilstin

* Voiced by: Daisuke Gōri

Dondochakka Bilstin (ドンドチャッカ・ビルスタン, Dondochakka Birusutan?) is a large, spotted
humanoid arrancar with a tiki mask and compound eyes. Despite his menacing
appearance, he is prone to tear-filled outbursts at the slightest provocation,
usually when he's worried about something. He was once Nel Tu's Fracción, but
after his mask fragment was forcefully removed by Nnoitra Jiruga and Nel
received amnesia, he accompanied her around Hueco Mundo to keep her safe. Years
later, when Nel accompanies a group of humans, Dondochakka follows her into Las
Noches. He starts following Renji Abarai, whom he frequently irritates with his
clumsiness and emotional outbursts. Dondochakka possesses numerous insect
spirits within his stomach (one being Bawabawa). He can spit these spirits out
at will as allies in combat. In addition, he carries a kanabō inside his
stomach, but it is unclear if this is his zanpakutō.

Tesla

* Voiced by: Yuichi Nakamura

Tesla (テスラ, Tesura?) is the sole Fracción of Nnoitra Jiruga. He seems to
idolize Nnoitra to some degree, shielding him from an attack despite receiving
criticism for doing so. Tesla even wears an eyepatch over his right eye in
honor of Nnoitra. The remains of his hollow mask appear to be a thin upper jaw
which forms a circlet around his forehead. Tesla's zanpakutō, Verruga (牙鎧士（ベルーガ）,
Berūga?, Spanish for "wart," Japanese for "tusked armored
warrior"), is released with the command "crush" (打ち伏せろ, uchifusero?).
In its sealed state a chakram is embedded above the hilt, which can be
solidified to act as a shield. When released, Tesla becomes a large,
warthog-like creature. His eyepatch disappears in this form, revealing a large
scar over his right eye. His released state gives him superhuman strength but
is apparently lacking in any sort of defense, as Kenpachi Zaraki delivers him a
mortal blow in this state with no effort at all.

Charlotte Cuuhlhourne

Charlotte Cuuhlhourne (シャルロッテ・クールホーン, Sharurotte Kūruhōn?) considers himself
Barragan's best fracción. Charlotte's
mannerisms and dress border on those of a stereotypical drag queen. He has
long, wavy black hair and wears clothes with feminine motifs. His mask is the
shape of a tiara with horns. Charlotte
believes beauty is derived from a person's heart and personality, leading the
first part of his battle with Yumichika Ayasegawa to be little more than the
two shouting insults at each other. Charlotte's
zanpakutō is named Reina de Rosas (宮廷薔薇園ノ美女王(レイナ・デ・ロサス), Reina de Rosasu?,
Spanish for "queen of roses," Japanese for "beautiful queen of
the palace rose garden"). Its release command is "sparkle" (煌めけ,
kirameke?). When released, he has a crown with horns, a buckler in the shape of
a heart, underwear and crop-top with pads sticking out and has discs around his
ankles and wrists. In his released form, he gains the ability to engulf himself
and his opponent in thorns, and a special attack which is called "Rosa
Blanca" (spanish for White Rose) which makes the surrounding area dark and
kills the opponent in a white flower where nobody can see them. He is defeated
by Yumichika, who spares him.

Abirama Redder

Abirama Redder (アビラマ・レッダー, Abirama Reddā?) is another of Barragan's fracción;
he is the one sent to deal with Izuru Kira. He has long black hair and tattoos
which cover his upper body; the remnants of his mask form a bird-like helmet
atop his head. He is extremely violent and impatient, with a personality
similar to that of Kenpachi Zaraki. Before he engages his opponent he performs
a "ritual" in which he screams all the things he is going to do to
his opponent at the top of his lungs. He takes this very seriously and becomes
infuriated when Kira refuses to participate. Abirama's zanpakutō is named Aguila
(空戦鷲(アギラ), Agira?, Spanish for "eagle," Japanese for "sky battle
eagle"). Its release command is "scalp" (頂を削れ, itadaki o
kezure?). When in released form, Abirama's head becomes similar to that of an
eagle, his hands and feet become talons, and two wings appear on his back which
can hurl a great amount of feathers at the enemy. These feathers are made of
steel, allowing them to easily crush targets on which they fall, and regenerate
rapidly after being tossed. He has an additional ability to split his wings
into two pairs for increased maneuverability, this is triggered by slicing
along his chest tattoos with his claws. Abirama is beheaded by Izuru Kira.

Findol Carias

Findol Carias (フィンドール・キャリアス, Findōru Kyariasu?) is the thinnest of Barragan's
fracción, and is sent to deal with Shūhei Hisagi. The remains of his hollow
mask resemble a helmet, covering the entire top half of his head down to his
nose, as well as his covering his chin with it's lower jaw. He can use his mask
to perform a seemingly unique technique: by chiseling off pieces of the mask,
he is able to increase his strength. According to Findol himself, the strength
increase he gains with each successive chiseling is roughly equal to the
difference in power between the seats of a Soul Reaper division. With his mask
unchiseled, he fights at the level of a fifth seat. Findol's zanpakutō is named
Pinza Aguda (蟹刀流断(ピンサグーダ), Pinsagūda?, Spanish for "sharp pincer,"
Japanese for "crab sword cutting current") and is released by the
command "carve the water's surface" (水面に刻め, suimen ni kizame?). It
takes the form of large claws that cover both of his arms and armor that covers
the right side of his body, resembling a fiddler crab in appearance. In this
form, Findol can emit powerful pressurized water streams from his larger claw.

Pō

Pō (ポウ, Pō?) is the largest of Barragan's fracción, first seen being sent to
attack Ikkaku Madarame. The remains of Pō's mask form a two pronged chin piece
that resembles a beard. He is a silent but apparently strong figure who, like
his fellow fracción, holds his leader Barragan in high regard, calling him
their "god" and praying to him before battle.
