Okay, Hitsuyaga says that a vastrode is stronger than any captain/if there are 10+ everyone's screwed, and that they look like humans. All the arrankarus that chill with Aizen have a human arrancar form, so does that mean there are 20+ vastrodes? And if that's so, how come they get defeated so easily in 203? And, how does a strong vizar compare to a strong arrancar i wonder? Hitsuyaga also says that an arrancar should become stronger than any menos, yet says that a menos vastrode is stronger than any captain, so what would that make the vastrode once the hollow mask is taken off? Also, wtf happened to that huge hollow that loomed over the first part of the series. Any speculations or cold hard answers are greatly appreciated.

I believe the text implied that arrancars and menos are different species. Arrancars are just normal hollows turned into hybrids, while we haven't heard the class name for hybrid menos yet.
A hybrid vastoorode is theoretically more powerful than Yamamoto. If any of the arrancars were vastoorodes originally, only Urquiorra and perhaps Grimmjow have enough power to be one.

Hmm, since all the arrancars are small as humans then they could be vastrodes that took there mask off and the big ones(like yami, who was weaker) are the ajukas turned into hybrids. Also, everyone knows that d-roy was a failure so that is the reason he was defeated so easily.
that huge hollow mentioned appears to be the hollow boss...doesn;t it?
my memory is blurred, but i also think there is a possibility it was a powerful menos and the one that is called a vastoorode which apparently these capts already know about

Yeah, but the translation said he was relying on Aizen's gifts, swhich suggests he was already weak to begin with. Even a failed hybrid vastoorode can never be as weak as D-Roy.

If what you're saying is true, than there would be arrancar, then a hybrid weak menos, then a hybrid med. menos, then a hybrid menos vastrode. If the current arrancar are this strong, there's no way there can be that many levels above them.

According to Hitsugaya, there have existed hollows in the past that matched the menos. If Aizen found these hollows and hybridized them, they might well be equal or even more powerful than a vastoorodes. So a vastoorodes is stronger than the majority of normal arrancars, but there may be a few normal arrancars that can match one. Perhaps there's one that can even match a hybrid vastoorode.

yeah, I know but still, fighting an Arrancar without even shikai, that's most incredible, then fighting the Espada ( which is a level above Gillians ) Grimmjow WITH bankai and he got pwned, shows how HUGE the difference is between Gillian and Espada, so I agree with you on that last point.
btw, what would have happened if Ishida hadn't shot his arrows carrying Ichigo's reiatsu away? would he have obtained Shikai? ( Judging from the immense Reiatsu emmiting out of the sword )
didnt Ishida did that so that Ichigo would not like kill himself n the rest because Ichigo cant control his reiatsu at that time n his reiatsu is flowing out non-stop like a water tap that isnt being turn off

so? what is the mistake in letting your Reiatsu flow? it would make you ( and nearby Quicnies stronger, since they get their power from the SURROUNDING reiatsu, not from their soul ) stronger.
Rukia stated that because Ichigo suddenly release so much reiatsu to defeat that gilian and he cant control it from flowing out anymore, he would melt himself. Ishida even hurt himself when he was shooting arrows wit Ichigo's reiatsu. So this means that it would kill anyone that is expose to that reiatsu

'scuse me, a Gillian (A.K.A Menos Grande) is NOT an Arrancar. This is a type of MENOS, which are normal, NOT hybridized Hollow. Ichigo fought a low class MENOS, which is so far lower than an Espada that it's like putting Hanatarou against Yama-ji.

vastrode are menos that resemble humans, right?
the most powerful arrancar were probably made from vastrode, which explains their appearance even before the hougokyu
Undying
03-14-2006, 06:51 PM
No, they are apparently Adjucha, since Aizen says that he is yet to have found all the Vastorode (which are indeed the Menos that are most like human in appearance).
Also, the appearance for most Arrancar is human in nature, rememebr D-Roy? He looked exactly like a human, but was he even a Menos? NO!
Wabisuke
03-14-2006, 07:25 PM
hmm yeah i guess just based off of their strength i should have known they weren't vastrode
but does this mean that aizen has developed a method for non menos to tear through dimensions? (i think it was ishida that said something about only menos being able to do that)
*edit* well, scratch that last bit anyway, if grimmjaw is an adjuca.. i guess that explains that

Byakuya7
03-14-2006, 07:58 PM
yes Espada refers to Aizens elite arrancar. There are 3 types of hollows which include gilian, adjucas, and vastoorode. The Espada is just the classification of his greatest hybrids.
you were impressed by Ichigo scratching the Menos Grande without shikai? then what about his father tearing up GF...

Undying, Aren't the menos grande the least form of Gillians as Hitsugaya said? I remember him saying that The arrancar were divided into : Gillian, Adjucha and Vastroode. Also, he said that Gillians are known in Shinigami text books as Menos Grande. And another thing, where does the Espada fit in the Classification of Gillian, Adjucha and Vastroode?
Zanga

03-14-2006, 10:10 PM
Ah.... you apparently misunderstood. You see, Gillian are the lowest class of Menos. But Menos and Arrancar aren't the same. However, the current Arrancars are, apparently, all Gillians (Menos Grande) hyberdized, with the exception of the Espada, who are either Vastorode/Adjucha hyberdized.
Menos Grande is indeed the term used to describe the Gillians, because all Gillians look the same and are all on the same level of power (which I do not think applies to teh Adjucha and Vastorodes, I think those vary).
And just to avoid further confusion...
Menos types:
1. Gillian - the most common type of Menos Hollows, and are also the weakest Menos. Refered to as "Menos Grande" in the Soul-Society text books beacuse they are all the same - theire appearance and power are all on the same level, without variation. They are dumb. They look like that oversized long-nosed-witch-thingy.
2. Adjucha - the second class of the Menos Hollows, they are by far less common, and are by far smaller than the Gillian and are far more humanoid. It is my personal opinion that they very both in strength and appearance. They look like humans but are far larger - reaching something like 10-15 feet (if we go by Yami who was 2 as tall as Ichigo), and are all smart (at least in comparison to the Gillians, who canno even speak).
3. Vastoode (Vast-Lord?) - the strongest type of the Menos Hollows. They are all humanoid in stature, are all intelligent, and are by far the fewest of the Menos. Capable of overpowering Captains, they are supposedly deep within Hueco Mundo.
Ok, a note: ALL Menos are normal Hollow, their masks are still intact, they haven't ripped it apart.
Arrancars:
The Arrancar split into two categories: Espada and non-Espada.
Non-Espada:
Numbered 11 and below (I mean 11, 12, 13, 14... etc.), they are all, as far as we saw, hyberdized Gillians (i.e. Menos Grande who ripped off their masks), they are somewhere near Captain level (a huge increase of power, a normal Gillian cannot beat a Captain, and the Captain won't even break a sweat beating it), and in intelligence (as we saw all the Arrancars wo came with Grimmjaw to earth were capable of speech and seemed to know how to think, something normal Gillians are yet to master ;)).
Espada:
These are numbered 10 nd above (10, 9, 8, 7... etc.) and are all, supposedly, above Captain level. They seem to be like Vastorodes in terms of power, so they are refered to as "Vastorode Arrancar", when we are cllassifying them by power).
I hope that helped.

also Arrancar and Vaizard are equal in power if the origins are equal in power, but you must know that Arrancars have an advantage on Vaizards, it is that they don't have an inner Hollow in the first place to deal with cause they already were Hollows, which makes the path of Vaizards the more difficult one, also the Vaizards would seem like the good guys in this contest, even though the Hollows tend to become shinigami along side their original position, they do it for the need for power and a building-size Zanpaktou ( However it didn't prove affective Vs. Isshin ^_^ ), so they will be eternally evil...

weel if he needs to become a hollow then why not let the inner one he has take over then go through it or if he really has to urahara could probably create a machine to travel back in time if really needed that badly.
but then that could be a filler episode ending in it all being a dream.

Anywayz, I assume kubo wanted Ichigo to be a vaizard, even though the methods Ichigo used to become one were different. He has to do the same thing to control his hollow as the Vaizards and he has most of their characteristics
Undying
03-18-2006, 08:43 PM
Well. given the new prespective the latest chapters gave us, I think that the Hollow actually wants the Shinigami it inhabits to grow stronger. Once you learn that, you use the help your Hollow offers you (by beting you to death), and grow stronger.
Kyouka Suigetsu
03-18-2006, 11:04 PM

Sandal Hat
03-18-2006, 11:27 PM
IMO he would be stronger if he put his hollow under his control since a Vaizard's dominant side is the Shinigami.
Pazuzumaki
03-19-2006, 01:51 AM
I remember the vizards saying that if ichigo didn't learn to controll his hollow, then he would simply become a hollow and die a dogs death, or something like that, and that's what made Ichigo need to go ahead with the training. Btw, it seems to me that there is no question about ichigo being a vizard. He exhibits not a single hollow characteristic aside from those which the other vizards exhibit, or at least seem to recognise.
While it's part of the topic, are arancaru only the powerful hollows under Aizen's forces? I thought that's what it was, but then that raises a question: Arancaru is "to take off" in spanish, which obviously relates to the fact that they remove their masks, but then, does that mean that the natural vastroodes haven't taken their mask off?
Kyouka Suigetsu

I'm also curious about the forbidden techniques to become a Vaizard. For some reason I doubt it is what Urahara made Ichigo go through making his 'world' nearly crumble and cuttin his sould chain thing. I really think there's more to it and that couldprove that Ichigo is truly a Vaizard.
Undying
03-19-2006, 03:01 PM
Why so? If a person has completely developed Shiniagmi powers (i.e. once they awaken, he becomes a full Shinigami, as was with Ichigo), doesn't that classify him as a Shinigami? Then the Hollow appeared, thus making him into a Vaizard.
And Zanga, that was only because Ichigo needed his Shinigami power to awaken, so he made him go through that. Had Ichigo been a full fledged Shinigami, he wouldn't have had to go through his world crumbling.
does that mean that the natural vastroodes haven't taken their mask off?

I think aizen was quite trying to make a perfect vastoorode, that is why those arrancars who fought against hitsugaya, Matsumoto, Renji and Ikkaku were defeated, but remember that Ichigo Fought againts Grimmjow and didnt do much more damage after his Getsuga Tenshou so i think aizen made at least 10 Vastoorodes who exceeed captain's power
kenshinsan
03-20-2006, 04:25 PM
Wikipedia explains everything perfectly.
But to make it short, there are gillians, ajuukas(didn't spell right), and vastroodes. They are all levels of menos. The gillians are the big dumb ones. The ajuukas are while smaller, are a lot more intellegent and stronger. Aizen implies that is the class that the Espada are made from. Then the vastroudes are the final class of menos. They look like humans and in their regular form are stronger than an average captain. Aizen hasn't gathered the vastroudes yet, thats why he says once they perfect the Espada(ajuukas turned into arrancars) and gathered the vastroudes they would take over.
So their can be. Non Arrancar Menos, Non Menos Arrrancar, and Menos Arrancar. With each class having their own strength.
Gillians Menos Arrancar(Shaw Long/Regular numbered 11 down arrancar) equal to vice-captain/weaker captains.
Ajuukas Menos Arrancar(Grim Jaw/Espada) equal to captains.
Vastroudes equal to the Extremely strong captain in regular form. Vastroude arrancar havent been made yet.(Such as the General of the 13 divisions.) Once again wikipedia explains it perfectly.

Aizen hasn't made any arrancars from vastroudes though. From how he refers the Espada were made from Adjucha. When he said they need to find all the Vastroudes he refers that there are no Vastroude Arrancar. Grimjaw seems to be a Adjucha Arrancar. So you can't call the Espada Vastroude Arrancar.
Aizen Quote:After All they were only gillians. This wont affect our plans in any way. Once weve assembled the Vastroudes, and perfected the Espada...All those who stand in our way....will cease to exist.
By saying this you can conclude that since the only arrancars that died against the captains were gillians and they have yet to assemble the Vastroudes. The Espada were made from the Adjucha
Undying
03-20-2006, 07:51 PM
There is nothing to suggest that there are no hybrid Vastorodes. It is perfectly assymabale that at least few of the Espada (at least, those numbered 3-0) are made from Vastorodes.
Aizen says that they must assemle the Vastorodes. But that can mean that they need to assemble those they have, or assemble those they do not have.

03-20-2006, 07:57 PM

nice point Zanga but remember that nobody said that Ichigo is not stronger than the Espada, he may as well be stronger than Grimmjow at his height as well, cause Ichigo was FAR from being serious or fighting for a cause when he faced Grimm + he had troubles with HIchigo, so Ichigo > Ulquiorra > Grimmjow, IMO.

That's true since grimjaw got his arm cut off by tousen which means he is very weak
Aizen could be defeated in various ways
As he said, any1 who saw his zanpaktou released will be hypnotised
So u either kill him b4 he release his sword or
otherwise unable to see him released his sword
1st: Tousen
2nd: People that are not there to see his released zanpaktou
As for 1st situation, Maybe Tousen is just a traitor waiting for a chance to stop all killing at once including killing aizen and when the time is ripe he would do it
And the 2nd situation would be, Ganging on him, At different times and when he released his sword only the 1 whos seen it will be under his hypnotism but those that didnt see it engaes him now then would be affected by his hypnotism

Hypnotism doesn't always be done with sight. There is emotional hypnotsim. Hinamori thinking Hitsugaya was the murderer of Aizen was one of them. She was hypnotized by Aizen's kindess and what not.
Tousen could be brought into believing Aizen can make a better world with the power he will gain, which could say he will gain the power of a god.

No I'm trying to say that Aizen doesn't always need his zanpaktou to hypnotize, and Tousen might be blind, but is still very able of being hypnotized.

well through his zanpakuto anyways, aizen states that you are only under hypnosis when you see his zanpakuto being released. Naturally, since most if not all zanpakutos compliment a shinigami's personality, Aizen is a manipulater himself, thus he tricked Tousen, so to speak, that his way is for the better.
In the manga, Aizen already said the only 1 possible way not to get hypnotised is tousen because he is blind and seeing his zanpaktou released is the key to his hypnotism and he added he has already made tousen his underling from he start.(go and read the conversation between aizen and unohana again)
But another point is Tousen may be still vulnerable to Aizen because Aizen's bankai is not known yet

Tousen is untouchable by Aizen's Hypnosis, Tousen thinks by Aizen's clever and convincing talk that his path is the least with blood shed, so Aizen didn't Hyponotize Tousen emotionally or such, he convinced him by mere talk.

During that mere talk Aizen could've triggered the memories of Tousen's deceased friend and the belief that this world does not have enough justice hittting him emotionally.
