Well by watching bleach my son! ^_^ .. haha I couldn't resist that!
Loooooooooong time no see hisu-kun. Glad to see you on here!
Well truth be told I really got that trivia simply by watching bleach. I've finally caught up to the latest episode (128) and some of the stuff is truly amazing!
... I also did read up info on wikipedia. I'm a bit of a geek and keep reading up random stuff like this ^_^
@Seiryuu - You're right... but one minor correction. Bankai is NOT a way to becoming a gotei 13 captain. It is simply a prerequisite. If you take Ikkaku for example, he's in seat 3 under Kenpachi but he's got a bankai too! *Of course Ikakku wants to stay in seat 3 for his own reasons*... Abarai Renji is pretty much similar. Got a bankai but still a vice captain *and personally I think he's lucky to be that much coz he doesn't come close to byakuya [my favourite
]*...
therefore by saying that bankai is a pre-requisite, it means that you need a bankai to attempt becoming a captain but merely having achieved bankai doesn't assure captaincy.
On to bleach trivia #4:
Of all the people who have zanpaktou's in bleach, almost every one of them has their zanpaktou's half white and half black. Towards episode 120'is it seemed to me that this signified the good and bad aspects of the individual... nevertheless, the trivia I'm sharing here is that there are only 2 people in bleach so far who do not have a black zanpaktou. These are:
1. Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri (Ashizogi Jizou) AND
2. Militia head Soi Fon (Suzumebachi)
Both their zanpaktou's are gold... and I'd love to see what suzumebachi's bankai would be
... Maybe it'll magnify it's powers so much that a single poke could kill you instead of two pokes! ^_^
