ESPADA INDEX
Aizen's Arrancar elite and the fighters of Las Noches, from Coyote Starrk down to the Privaron who lost their rank.
18 Arrancar catalogued
Ulquiorra Cifer
Ulquiorra Cifer is the fourth Espada, Aizen's most loyal instrument, and the show's coldest argument about what a heart is. He first appears in Karakura Town to evaluate Ichigo and decides he is trash not worth killing. His analysis is...
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez is the sixth Espada and the purest predator in Aizen's army. He was an Adjuchas-class Hollow, a panther who clawed his way up the Hueco Mundo food chain, and becoming an Arrancar did not civilize him at all. He...
Tier Harribel
Tier Harribel is the Tres Espada, and the aspect of death she represents is sacrifice. She is a Vasto Lorde, the highest class of Hollow, and she reached Aizen's army by a route none of the others took: she had already spent years in Hueco...
Nnoitra Gilga
Nnoitra Gilga is the Quinta Espada, and the aspect of death he represents is despair. He is enormously tall, permanently grinning, and completely uninterested in Aizen's plans except as a supply of opponents. His Hollow hole is in the eye...
Baraggan Louisenbairn
Baraggan Louisenbairn ruled Hueco Mundo before Aizen arrived. He held Las Noches as its God-King, kept an open court and an army of Hollows, and was so completely without a rival that he had grown bored of his own throne. Aizen walked in...
Luppi Antenor
Luppi Antenor briefly held the rank of Sexta Espada, taking the number after Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez lost an arm and was demoted. He is young-looking, cruel, and enormously pleased with himself, and his entire arc is built around how short...
Cirucci Sanderwicci
Cirucci Sanderwicci was the 105th Arrancar and a Privaron Espada, which is the rank given to Arrancar who held an Espada number and then lost it. She guards one of the towers of Las Noches, dresses like she is going somewhere better, and...
Aaroniero Arruruerie
Aaroniero Arruruerie is the Noveno Espada and the only one who is still a Gillian, which should make him the weakest thing in Las Noches. It does not, because his ability is absorption: eating a Hollow gives him its powers, its form and...
Yammy Llargo
The Diez Espada, and the Cero Espada once he releases, because his number goes up rather than down. His aspect of death is rage and his fighting consists almost entirely of being too large and too durable to stop. He is the last Espada...
Gantenbainne Mosqueda
The 107th Arrancar and a Privaron Espada, one of the ranked Arrancar demoted when Aizen built the current ten. He fights Yasutora Sado with a percussive style built around drum-shaped fists and loses, then helps him afterwards, which is...
Cien Granz
A clone of Szayelaporro Granz, made before Szayelaporro split Yylfordt off from himself, and marked with the number 100 tattooed on his eyeball. He appears in the novels rather than the manga, and his resurrección is the same Fornicarás...
Coyote Starrk
The Primera Espada, and the most reluctant fighter in Aizen's army. As a Hollow he was so strong that anything near him died simply from proximity, which left him alone for centuries, and splitting his soul into Lilynette was how he...
Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio
Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio is the 103rd Arrancar and a Privaron Espada, one of the ranked Arrancar who lost their number when Aizen assembled the current ten. He guards a tower of Las Noches and greets Ichigo Kurosaki with elaborate...
Lilynette Gingerbuck
Coyote Starrk's Fracción, and not really a separate person: Starrk was so powerful as a Hollow that everything near him died, so he split his own soul in two to have company. Lilynette is the other half. She is loud, rude, kicks him awake,...
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck was the Tres Espada, and unlike the rest of Aizen's army she thought the whole enterprise was pointless. She refused to kill opponents she had already beaten and argued openly that fighting for its own sake was...
Pícaro
A collective of around two hundred child-like Arrancar who share a single Espada designation. They prefer playing with intruders to killing them, which does not always work out well for the intruders. They appear in the novels rather than...
Szayelaporro Granz
The Octava Espada and Las Noches' scientist, whose aspect of death is madness. He treats every fight as data collection, and his resurrección lets him absorb an opponent into his own body and rebuild them as a voodoo doll he can operate....
Zommari Rureaux
Zommari Rureaux is the Séptima Espada, and the only one who treats his rank as a spiritual station rather than a job. He speaks in formal, measured terms, considers the Shinigami arrogant for judging Hollows at all, and is the sole Espada...
